Do you think I’ll need a pacemaker?

Sunday, August 21st, 2011

What is the chance I’ll need a pacemaker someday—

I’m 24–5’8–140 lbs–eat very healthy, no sweets, limit of salt–whole wheat foods–started exercising 4 times a week. The only bad thing is I drink 1-2 times a week (on weekends)–and I smoke cigerettes while drinking which is on weekends–I’ve been trying to quit the binge drinking b/c I have aniexty (hence the question I’m asking) and the alcohol increases it. I don’t smoke unless i”m drunk but it’s still bad.

Okay–my blood pressure is always low (well it’s normal for me b/c it’s always in same range, but for others it may be considered low)–and I can’t remember the numbers–my mom said it’s b/c I’m a relaxed person and don’t carry a lot of stress…anyways my pulse is usually mid 70′s (b/c I’m a hypocondriac I check it frequently).

My question is what’s the chance of me needing a pacemaker someday? See, my maternal grandfather died of heart problems (he had two bypass surgeries–in his 60′s–but that was in the 80′s and my mom said things have greatly changed)…and my maternal grandmother has a pacemaker..so both of my mom’s parents have heart related problems….my dad’s parents do not have heart problems…

Do you think that my low bp and my low pulse is an indicator that I will need a pacemaker someday?

Is there a way I can increase my blood pressure?

My number 1 fear is dying of a heart problem b/c it can happen in a blink of an eye and I won’t be able to say good-bye to anyone.

Sorry if I’m rambling….I know this is a silly question but it’s always on my mind…I’ve been to the ER so many times that the next time I go they will make me stay overnight and I don’t want to take any aniexty medicine b/c I don’t like medicine in my body.

:-/
I think I’m worried that b/c I have low heartbeats and my bp is low that my heart isn’t pumping enough and it will just stop one day…it’s horrible.

eating disorder…please help me?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

i cannot control what i am eating. at school, i am fine, i eat what my mom packs me: sandwhich, apple, yogurt, homemade bread, pretzels, etc. however when i get home i cannot control myself. i tell myself i will eat only one healthy, filling thing, such as fruit in yogurt or one bag of pita chips. but i end up eating 5 bags of pita chips (which are like 140 cals each), the one healthy thing i began with, two pieces of homemade bread, a peanut butter sandwhich, more yogurt, candy, beef jerky, cereal. and i seriously eat thousands of calories in one sitting. the thing is, i just binge eat, and i don’t like throw it up or anything, so i’m just constantly gaining weight now, especially my thighs and stomach…i have already gained more than 20 pounds this past year. i run track cross country and indoor track, and indoor track just ended, so i’ve been going straight home now. even my grades have been falling because all i’ve been doing is eating. my whole life is falling apart, my mom has been yelling at me, and even when i feel guilty after eating all that and i try to exercise more, my mom yells at me and tells me i have an eating disorder.
please help me i’m sorry this is so long i’m on the verge of tears. please.

Do these sound like good enough reasons to go to therapy?

Wednesday, August 17th, 2011

First of all, I’m 14.

I’m kind of ugly. I’ve never had a boyfriend and I’m a loser in school. I don’t have that many friends. I never did, but I used to have more. They all left me because they thought I was ignoring them. But the thing is, I wasn’t. My problems were getting worse at that time because of something personal going on at home.

I’m also not going to lie, I have a lot of negative things about myself. I’m VERY jealous. I want to be like all the pretty people at my school and be rich like them. I know I’m my own person and I’m beautiful and I should embrace that, but I just can’t.
I’m also a bit of an attention seeker. I know, it’s wrong and I’m a horrible person, but that’s what I want most: attention. I always feel like I’m driving away the friends I DO have because I’m always complaining about something or whatever.

Now that it’s summer, I’ve been sleeping most of the time and when I’m awake, I don’t like to eat. So far I’ve lost 11 pounds and my mom is worried because I always say I’m not hungry. I am, but I go to bed so I can ignore my hunger. Sometimes I give in and binge on a bunch of stuff. I’ve threw up once this summer. I used to throw up almost everyday a few months ago. People tell me I’m not fat all the time, but I AM. I’m 5’6″ & 140 pounds. I’ve been on many diets and they never work. I exercise sometimes but get back into my old ways.

I used to go to therapy once for a few months. I learned that I had depression and anxiety. I got tired of it and just asked my mom if I could stop going. That was a few years ago.

Anyway, I feel really ugly but pretty at the same time. I LOVE to stare in the mirror at myself and feel beautiful and put on makeup and straighten my hair. I’m not going to lie, I have a bit of a shopping problem and I always want clothes. Clothes make me feel happy and loved since I don’t feel like I can get it from anyone else. But at other times, I look in the mirror and call myself ugly and just sit there and cry.

I also listen to Justin Bieber music a lot. Ever since he’s been famous, I’ve been a “Belieber.” I have over 200 Justin Bieber posters and I collect anything I can. I know a lot about him. This is crazy, but I feel like I know him and I’m friends with him. My mom thinks I’m too obsessed, and I admit, I am. I sometimes let it take over my life. I “Stalk” him. I read news about him everyday on the internet and always want to know where he is. He’s all I think about and he makes me feel like my life is actually worth something. I even have dreams about him sometimes . I want to be beautiful like his girlfriend Selena Gomez. I just want to be able to go to a concert of something and for him to notice me. I don’t want to marry him, since I know I’ll never have a chance, but I just feel like I have a deep connection with him. I know, I’m an idiot. Whatever.

If you’re wondering, I don’t cut myself or anything. Sometimes I really feel like doing it, but I don’t. I’ve never done it and I hope I never do. I have wanted to die sometimes, but I knew I could never kill myself.

Do my problems sound bad enough for therapy?

Question about custody…do you feel this is fair (repost with additional info)?

Monday, August 15th, 2011

So i have an 11 month old son and his father and i split up 7 months ago.
His father was a bit abussive towards me and told me he didnt love me and wanted my son and i to move out so we did. The first few months were hard as he just completely backed off and didnt pay much attention to being a father to our son.
He was living at our old place and i was giving him overnights every other weekend or more so whenever he asked.
He than moved into his mothers 3 months ago. His mother is rapoid-cycling bipolar and is an alcoholic. I never felt comfortable staying at her house when my ex and i were together as she tried to kill herself after a drinking binge on my exs 25th birthday when i was 8 months pregnant. I was the only sober one and i was left to deal with eveything. Most recently she left a voivemail completely intoxicated saying what a whore i am and saying that our son gave her herpes.
After that message i was not comfortable allowing our son to stay there over night. I discussed these matters with my lawyer and had our agreement pulled due to my lawyer saying she didnt feel comfortable with it either.
My ex and i were trying to get along and i said i would come to his moms to see if it was comfortable for me to have my son stay there. I still did not feel comfortable but my ex told me i was being a bad mother and not putting our son in my best interest by not allowing him to stay overnight there so i tried it once. my son came back throwing up and it took me 3 days to get him back onto schedule.
My ex and i are fighting again and he is demanding over nights at his mothers every other weekend. I am happy my ex wants to see our son and make an effort to be in his life but i just dont feel comfortable with my son staying over night as his mother tends to drink all night long.
I just wrote him an email stating that he can have our son every single saturday but not overnight and that will make up for the day he is missing on his over night visists. I said that he could have our son over night when he has his own place which is supposed to be in a month.
Am i being unfair by doing this? Am i being a bad mom? Does it seem as thoiugh i am trying ot keep our son from hima nd his mom? Any opinions would be helpful. Its been very hard for me and i just dont know what to do. My family and friends agree that i should not be giving overnights but he makes me feel as though i am doing something terribly wrong:(

Additional info to make things fair from both sides: My ex does pay child support and does on time.
I have often called him a dead beat dad when he does not participate as a father as much as i feel he should.
I feel he makes decisions based on his hatred towards me and not in the best interest of our son.
He has said that he requests that i write up a letter saying he doesnt have to pay child support and he will disappear as he doesnt want to deal with me for 18 years.
We have both exchanged many horrible words in rage of anger.
he has told my family members that he hates me for making the decision to keep our son and i feel that has an affect on how he acts as a father (is that wrong?)

My father is an alcoholic. =/ I need help.?

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

Ever since my father was 7 years old he has been drinking. His Grandfather started out giving him Southern Comfort everyday. My dad and mom divorced when I was little, my sister and I use to run and hide (he wasnt abusive though). We didn’t want anyone to see our tears. We were taught to be strong and independent. After the divorce was final, my mom gained custody. My dad would see us on the weekends and take us to his house occasionally to spend the night. Every time we did though, he was binge drinking. the years passed and my mother got sick. She got put on disability and lost her drivers lisense, because a drunk driver hit us. Eventually, we were living in my mothers car and she would drive without her lisense. We stayed at motels barely paying the money. And now we all live together. My mom and dad are friends and my dad pays the rent. But he drinks everynight and screams. I get all A’s in school and when i bring home a bad grade he calles me dumbass. Please help me.

What should i expect on my first doctors appointment when trying to recover?

Saturday, August 13th, 2011

Ok so.. since march i guess, i would overeat emotionally (binge eating, if you will? :/) because of so much problems in my life. i started to over excersize shortly after i did the binging, then in early june, i started purging. (not exacly for weight-loss, because i know that purging doesn’t make you lose weight. i just did it to let out some food cause my stomach would really hurt after i overate) so saturday i purged alot..and i mean ALOT. so i got scared and kind of broke down and told my aunt (i never tell my mom anything, shes mean to me and judges me) then she ended up telling my mom. my mom called the doctors today and made me an appointment friday, what should i expect to happen? what happens from there? i’m not too far down. its not like i purge everyday.

i feel like i have all these problems with me mentally and physically and no one will believe it all?

Friday, August 12th, 2011

i think i have:
- adhd- i get so distracted. i fidget and it takes me way longer than it should to do school work especially at home. i always get off track. like now im supposed to be writing an essay but i just went on yahoo answers without even thinking…
- ocd- things have to be perfect. ive gotten up in the middle of class to go and turn all the markers on the white board sill thing so they face the same way and stuff.
- eating disorders- ok im 100% sure i have an eating disorder. i binge and cant stop. its because im a bit overweight and seeing my brother and super-skinny friends pig out on everything unhealthy and it just makes me want to and then i eat more as i feel bad about when i eat i get fat. ive almost made myself throw up but ive stopped myself.
- bone pops out or something? below my chest and above my rib cage on the right, when i turn my body to the left, a bone will lik pop in and out or ssomething? its doesnt hurt but it really doesnt seem right
and more.

but like its so ridiculous. ive mentioned it to one of my friends and shes goes “you dont have all those problems you think you have!” and ive been mentioning a few things i think is wrong with me to my mom recently and she goes “oh you dont have that”. theres more things i think i have problems with but no one will believe me! i feel so messed up!
and i really want a therapist but my mom would never pay for one but i need to tell someone all my probs especially personal ones like my eating disorder to someone i dont know and only is there to help me. my friends would just tell and id feel betrayed although i know theyre trying to help, and my mom it would be awkward. i want to talk it out with a therapist, and NOT my school guidance counselors or “trusted adults”.

please please please help!

Do I have an Identity Disorder?

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

I used to be really pretty last year. Skinny my body was hot my hair was always awesome my face was pretty I had a lot of friends was always out and my life was crazy but fun.
Then I had my son and it’s like I’ve developed a phobia of people. I get panic attacks if I’m ever around anyone it’s crazy. I isolate myself so much it is ridiculous, my son is 8 months now and I stay home everyday 24/7 and am with him. If he is ever being babysat, I stay home alone all night all day. I never have anything or anyone. I lost all my friends. My other friends who I sort of talk to here and there just party. And I was partying back in July here and there every other weekend but I can’t even bring myself to doing any of that. I have gotten ridiculously insecure, if I go out in public I’ll wear a hood over my head and sweatpants. I know everything there is to know about food and nutrition, but I still won’t eat, I’ll go 5 days without eating or I’ll just quit shopping for food until I finally binge. And it’s not helping anything because obviously I’m still fat. I worked out at the gym for the first time in over a year a few weeks ago, it felt good but I got panicky around all of the people that were there I felt like they were watching me. It’s insane. I had a job and the first week I was there I got a panic attack in the elevator I started shaking and my eyes started watering it was crazy I had to sit down on the floor and everyone thought I was nuts. It just really sucks. If I talk to a guy and he likes me I’ll look on his Facebook and see pictures of him with ex girlfriends, or just friends that are girls, and they are all skinny and prettier than me, I don’t care if I have an interesting personality, I’ll quit talking to the guy slowly because I feel just too insecure around him. I have issues dude. I never do anything I stay home all day playing with my son sitting on Facebook. Will this ever end? I have no freedom, when I have freedom I don’t have freedom still. It’s crazy. Plus the town I am in has NOTHING to do. I went to college while I was pregnant and would always fall asleep for some reason LOL it was easy at first but towards the end I was getting HUGE in my pregnancy and I started getting really bad panic attacks. It just really sucks that everything turned out this way. I live alone, while I was pregnant I slept alone every night, after the first 2 months of my pregnancy, I didn’t have sex once or have any guys in my life. It’s just crazy I’m like crying right now the whole reason I wrote this is because I started getting a panic attack earlier. Idek bye. This guy I hung out with once and talk to a lot I told him I felt stupiddddd because his ex is hot and he said ”so what lol we can just go work out together” ………………… who says that ? It just sucks because I don’t have anyone in my life who I talk to. There is nobody here who knows me. Not my mom not my dad, my dad is homeless in Detroit somewhere, my mom has her own life, my grandma is here for me but doesn’t talk to or see me on a daily basis unless I bother her. I have no friends. Literally. The last friend I thought was my friend I gave her 55 dollars to order me hair extensions on her mom’s credit card, and she lied and stole the money. We ended up being friends again months after and recently I quit talking to her because she and her gay guy friend called CPS on me over an argument I had with him on Facebook about me not agreeing with homosexuality. It’s just stupid. Blah. I love my son he makes my day and I love being there for him playing with him. But aside from that, I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I’m used to being who I was and looking how I used to, but I don’t look like that anymore so I know I’m treated differently over me looking so horrible.

Help I binged on like 7 fun sized snicker bars tonight!?

Sunday, August 7th, 2011

I did really good the whole day! I ate a pretty good breakfast, a great lunch, healthy snacks, veggies, and lots of protein throughout the day, limited carbs, and low fat all around. However, my mom has this tub of candy at the house, and it’s causing me to binge on candy almost every night! I can’t have just once piece, cuz then I’ll have to have another! I’ve told her multiple times to trash the candy or take it to work, but she doesn’t! I’ve come so far with my weight loss, I don’t want to give into this candy tomorrow! Did I ruin my day with those stupid snicker bars???? GRRR I’m soooo angry!!! I’m down from 180 to 157, and I want to keep going but I’m not getting much support at home! My mom always brings in pies, donuts, cookies, brownies ALL the damn time! Help?!?!?!

Any other way besides a urine test to prove someones on meth?

Saturday, August 6th, 2011

My mom does meth. If you have any family members that are addicts to this drug or if you are/were an addict yourself you know they can be rather unbearable emotionally. I feel that getting the law involved is the only way out. Possibly getting custody over me taken away? (im nearly 14.)
Obviously my main problem is that she does drugs so a drug test would most likely be involved. However my mom can go for 5 days to a week without doing meth and then go binge for a day or 2 and repeat the cycle. So on a chance she was clean on the test (I heard you had to have used within 3 to 5 days prior to the test to have traces of drugs) is there any other way of proving it? hair samples, anything.
This may sound like over reacting but there are many emotional things that aren’t being mentioned here that are caused by her behavior of the drug use such as simply getting my hopes up when she says shes getting clean and the crush of seeing her high. Any help with the testing or even how to go about this situation legally is greatly appreciated.

I have been binge eating for the past 2 years, and my husband doesn’t know. My mom always pressured me to be VERY thin, and now that I’m married, I’m so scared of becoming a fat wife and I’m gradually gaining quite a bit of weight. It is ruling my life and causing me to binge eat, (hide eating way too much at once, mostly at night)… this is my way of dealing with my stress, and it’s effecting me the opposite way by weight gain. I don’t want to go to the Dr.’s about it because I don’t want a mental disorder on my records and I don’t want my husband to know how depressed I am. Also, I hear that anti-d’s can cause weight gain! What can I do???

*** Thank you so much for your replies. I joined Yahoo, just to ask this and have anxiously been awaiting an answer. One thing I did not mention though, (about my husband & I), is that we are very “natural” so to speak, and I know how much he disapproves of medication, (as do I), but I don’t know what else to do!
Sorry I re-posted it… I obviously have no idea what I’m doing. =]

I’m almost sure I’m bulimic, so why do I admit my symptoms to my friends, but deny being bulimic?

Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011

I’m fairly sure I have what’s called “exercise bulimia”. I exercise like crazy because I want to lose weight, but I find myself bingeing. A LOT. A guy would be surprised at how much I eat. Just the other day I had a 7 lb binge.

I went to the pharmacist and asked for an emetic. They picked that I was bulimic, but I wanted to deny that I was bulimic, so I told them that it doesn’t happen all the time (my bingeing), but that I had a 7 lb binge the day before, and I told them that I am a medical student, and that I felt that my binge was a medical emergency because I could not purge the sheer mass of food, and was in pain for the next 12 hours. I also threw in some crap about it being bad for my insulin levels and some other scientific crap like that… and they bought it, and (slightly reluctantly), sold me the emetic.

I boasted to my friends that I managed to buy an emetic. When my friend asked me point blank whether I am bulimic, I denied it.

I boasted that “I eat like a whale”. And I said “I think it runs in my family” (Which is true.)

I suspect that I may be bulimic. Just based on the sheer amount of food I eat, and the fact that I exercise so much.

However, large appetites, (and I mean voracious,) run in my family. Atheletism also runs in the family — my dad was a swimmer and high-jumper, and my mom was Sportswoman of the year in University (’nuff said).

Although I want to lose weight, I am confused as to whether I have an eating disorder.

I grew up exercising a lot (as I was in Cross Country AND Track and Field and one of the better runners, so I always did more than the other girls in the team, could always go further), and then when I went home, I would eat the most at the table. I just could.

I don’t have a particularly high metabolism, at least I don’t think so, because when I am not exercsing, I can eat almosst nothing in a day, and, eating less than my friends, I am still not as thin as them. Not as thin as some girls who eat a lot but are still rail thin.

I am so CONFUSED! Do I have an eating disorder?

CPS..if you have gone through the cps process?

Monday, August 1st, 2011

so a moms a crack head and she has 4 children .atleast every 2 weeks she goes out on a binge and leaves her kids home alone for 2+ days. The youngest is 3 and the oldest is 15. So the 15 yo is left home to take care of the children bc the father has work. She has to cook breakfast/ dinner change diapers deal with kids she didnt have. the dad leaves at 3am and comes home at 5pm. The mom has been to several rehabs and meetings ect. We once went through cps it was for 6 months, my mom had to giver urine on different days of the week she hd to go to court and keep up with the judge on how she is progressing, at 1 point she wasnt aloud to sleep at home or be around her kids then she started to get visitation priveleages like 2 hours a day 4 hours ect. All this lead up to 6 months clean(thats when shes under pressure of CPS) now 1 year has went buy and she must of left like 10 times already and shedrinks almost every night. I waqnt to call CPS but idk what would happen to us? since we already went through it once? My dad is 100% clean so he would probably get custody of us? i hate how im a 15 yo worrying about this…

How do bulimics hide the sound of puking and smell of puke so well?

Sunday, July 31st, 2011

i have binge eating disorder…and past few days eaten more then usual (especially with so much chocolate in the house with easter!) so i tried making myself sick past few days because it reached the point were i’d eaten so much that it was extremely uncomfortable.

I made myself sick a little today…but not alot, but then i felt naturally sick and puked in the bathroom. I dont know if my mom heard or not…but i started freaking out because she was upstairs near the bathroom when it happened. Then i started worrying about the smell…even spraying perfume can be loud and heard down the hall, even through the closed bathroom door…

Any tips for future reference in-case i naturally puke again after a day of binging? I’ve heard of running water but what if the urge to puke happens so fast that you cant do anything except get to the bathroom… I dont want to be caught out because then they’ll find out how serious my binge eating is. I mean…its no secret i overeat anyway by the size of me, ha! But i’m not sure i’m ready to be forced to get help and confront my emotional issues….which is why i binge eat in the first place to sooth my pain.
