Do you believe that the people of America are being overmedicated and misdiagnosed too often?

Friday, June 3rd, 2011

A while ago, I read an article about this girl who was put on medications for bipolar disorder when she was 2 years old. TWO! A child of two is barely any older than a baby! It’s perfectly normal for a child that young to act out and be moody. My toddler sisters act like it all the time. This girl died from taking those medications a few years later.

When I was in a mental hospital because they wanted to monitor the new medications I was on, I realized most of the other teens there weren’t depressed or suicidal. They were really bitchy, alcohol-chugging, nicotine-addicted, angsty high school drop outs. This one girl slit her wrist because she wanted to get back at her mother. I think all too often people get diagnosed and medicated because it’s easier than working out the problems themselves. And it’s people like those who are giving people who actually need medications a bad name.

Agree/disagree? Reasons?

Has anyone ever dated a BIPOLAR person? How does being bipolar affect your romantic relationships and dating?

Wednesday, June 1st, 2011

My date, 16, is extremely bipolar, but takes Seroquil which seems to work.

In addition to being bipolar, my date also has ADD, Anxiety, Fear of Failure, and also just completed rehab for marijuana addiction.

My date also just completed 3 months in foster care becuase the bio mom was addicted to drugs.

What are some of the complications I can expect dealing with ALL these psychological issues. What are some common things I should be expecting or looking out for?
He’s also Paranoid, and theres a Schizophrenia component to his bipolar disorder.
Umm….yes he IS my boifriend and yes he IS my date. We got back together so theres NO reason to “move on.”

You can practice being an “online psychologist” somewhere else, and better yet ask for a refund because obviously your advice is worthless.
SHAME on YOU

How do I deal with being in a previously alcoholic family, now a single-parent co-alcoholic family?

Monday, May 30th, 2011

When I was younger, my dad used to get drunk. Him and my mom would yell at each other practically every night, but it never got to physical abuse. I don’t think his alcoholism ever progressed to a state where it seriously affected me, but I could be misjudging things. When I was about ten years old, they separated, had an ugly separation and divorce filled with harassment (through me at times) and other problems. Now I live with my mom, who never drinks. She’s had a bad childhood with an adopted unmedicated bipolar mother, so she has her share of scars too. I have found out that my mother must be a co-alcoholic, she has the extreme mood swings, outbursts about tiny things when you least expect it, etc. Then after these outbursts it is like everything is fine, and most times I receive a serious apology, which doesn’t stop the cycle from repeating again. Now that you all have the story, here are my questions: How badly was I really affected by my dad’s drinking, what is going on with my mom and how badly is her behavior affecting me, and what would happen if my mom started drinking a little bit?

Need advice step son is coming to live with my husband and i after being in rehab for heroin addiction….?

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

My husband and i have been married for about 6 years he has a 13 year old son from a previous relationship. Well his son is coming to live with us he just got out of Rehab for Heroin addiction and his mom wants nothing to do with him at all. Well hubby and i have three son’s of our own 2.4,6 and so as you can imagine i am concerned for there safty and well being but at the same time i also believe in Redemption so to speak everyone makes mistakes and i understand that so i am trying not to hold any preconceived notions about the kid but at the same time never had to really be a step parent to this kid and everything. I mean honestly i am more worried about him relapsing into it because he got into it to begin with because his gf was into it heavily and then she introduced him to it and then she died because of in OD so he got into it heavily trying to block out his pain and everything. Sorry for blabbing i just don’t know what to do with the kid hubby thinks there isn’t a threat and that he will be fine and that we just need to love on him but at the same time i don’t want him here =/. Advice?

How do i seek justice for being assaulted by my boss?

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

So it was a thursday afternoon at my place of employment and there had been talk that our boss and part owner of this company(mind you a family owned company) had been heavily drinking lateley relapsing back into alcoholism. This had been very clear the way he was acting the past couple of days around the shop… so i naturally was curious, and i was on my lunch smoking when i saw him walk by. for the sake of this i will call my boss “jim” in place of his real name. I said hey jim do you have a minute he came over and said sure and i was sincereley asking him if he wanted to sell his truck anytime in the near future and he said yea and on the subject we began talking about the baja 1000 which is a truck race for those of you who dont know. ok break time ended everything was normal i go back to my building and he was there and called me out of there to come B/S about the baja 1000 again for a good 45 minutes, and was still heavily intoxicated. and keep in mind his step mother who is also part owner of this company saw us having an aimless conversation in his office that day.

The day ended fine nothing happened out of the ordinary. The next day after break i walked by his office to ask him about some orders we were getting to see if they were still coming in for us to work on i walk by the office and saw him talking to the foreman and a shipping dept. employee and walk by and continue on back to work. about 45 minutes later a fellow employee of mine who is known as my boss’ drinking buddy outside of work comes to me and says hey jim wants to see you in his office and he isnt very happy. So naturally i ask ok well whats wrong he played dumb and said i have no idea.. little did i know id be walking into one of the scariest and most violationg situations of my life.

I find him and say hey jim whats up i heard you needed to see me and he said yea come with me. We takes me into the next room over shuts the door and just gets right in my face and explodes in a drunking violent yelling rage… his face no further than two inches away… (mind you im 19 years old and grew up with an alcoholic father)… reaking of alcohol just like the past couple of weeks he is screaming things like i thought when i hired you i told you never to **** me over and things like if i find out this was you i will break your legs as well as if i find out this was you im going to shove this pole up your *** and during this intense yelling he grabbed my collar of my shirt very tightly tho the point where it started to restrict my neck and had to coax him to get off of me he then put his hand up tp my throat as you would go to choke someone and squeezed just enough to intimidate me and get his point across and said wait a minute what the hell is this even about and explains to me that his mother asked him that morning what him and i had talked about in his office and he told the truth and said baja 1000. and she slapped him across the face and said bullshit “timmy said you were doing cocaine” the name timmy refers to myself and i had never spoke those words to anyone. i then pleaded for my safetey and said you know i never said these things nor would think about and said you know you are a great guy and all sorts off *** kissing comments to keep the situation from escalating and hopefully ended and it worked.

I return to work infuriated and contemplate what my next move should be… i call my mother to see what i should do like call the police or leave or what. but no answer and i spot my friend that i work with someone who is my friend outside the workplace .. we went to high school together and are considered almost best friends to many. i told him what had happened to me….. he later goes and tells his uncle who also works there, that is who got us the jobs there. His uncle tells me we are going to solve this right now and get this straight so already an emotional wreck having thought of him as acting as mean and biligerent as my father gets when he drinks every night which is something i have had to deal with for 19 years i started to get very upset on the way to talk to the boss with my friends uncle almost to the point of crying.

We spot him outside the building where the incident took place my friend uncle kneals down in front of the boss who was sitting down and said what did you do…. the boss replies with i asked him if he said that i did cocaine, being very patient with our intoxicated boss he repeats what did you do… the boss takes myself and my friends uncle into the room where the incident originally took place. i had started crying due to my emotional distress and realating all this to the suffering i expierienced from my father. hye hugs me and just keeps on and on about how he is sorry and he shouldnt have done that i look at my friends uncle who commented on something the boss said to try and lighten the situation and o

What will it take to get a 59-year-old alcoholic (that denies being an “alcoholic”) to feel shame, as I would?

Friday, April 15th, 2011

I’m professional, very religious, I volunteer and donate blood etc. love to play piano, especially carols at this time of year — I consider myself to be a dynamic, fun, and loving person – oh and I can cook too –

My point is that I expect a lot of myself (and so do my younger sisters) but our dad, despite being a physician etc. is so NOT that way. We also lost our beloved Mother 14 years ago.

I just feel like I want to hear more recognition and credit for this from him and from the rest of my family.

I went to his house (2 hrs from my place) to go help him get ready for the holidays (shopping etc.) – I offered – but he had plans with a bunch of stupid, country club fuckers to basically have an excuse to get wasted. Both Friday and Saturday nights (remember that I came there to hang out with him etc. and he hasn’t seen me for weeks) when he left he was like, “maybe I’ll see you tomorrow….” as in – he was planning to get so fucking wasted that he wouldn’t be able to drive
today I had such a bad Mexican food craving and I had to eat by myself in my hometown because my dad had to leave to go to yet another drinking fest disguised as a get-together… It is so fucking pathetic! I would be completely ashamed of myself if I acted that way! He DID come home Friday and Saturday nights, because I guess he felt bad that I was there alone…. and both times he was so drunk that he even said, “…yeah…. I don’t know how I got home….” — he’s a somewhat prominent member of society in the town we’re from (population about 70-80K) — I think it almost would have been beneficial for him to get in a car accident so he would realize what a goddamned loser he is!
By the way, he always drank – even when Mom was around and despite the fact that she didn’t like it (obviously she didn’t like it because he’s also pretty sick, as in has pretty advanced heart disease) — all this despite the fact that he’s a doctor, who should know better…What a loser.
Thanks Shannon – but seriously I don’t really think he loves us as much as he says he does — or my Mom for that matter… I mean, she hated his drinking yet he kept doing. I just want to him to say, “you know – I’m sorry that I went every night that you were over… and came back to wasted….” — how do I make him apologize…
and by the way, I don’t want to “be caring” to him – he and others have always judged me so harshly – so naturally I achieved a lot, have a great job, and also have a great resume – so I don’t think I should have to “be caring,” to him. HE DESERVES TO BE JUDGED!!!!!
even though it seems positive that everyone judged me so much and put so much pressure on me (the end result being that I am successful etc.) but it came at such a dear price, so many tears, so much beating myself up over this issue and others…. trying to be perfect to “earn” his love and approval. what a bastard!

It’s my turn to judge! I HAVE DONE WHAT I’M SUPPOSED TO IN MY LIFE! HE HASN’T – HE FUCKING DESERVES TO BE JUDGED AT LEAST AS HARSHLY AS HE HAS JUDGED ME!
YOU KNOW – I AM SO FUCKING SICK AND TIRED OF PEOPLE BEING LIKE, “OH YOUR DAD,” WHEN THEY HEAR ABOUT MY MOM DYING! MY DAD, BESIDES BEING A FUCKING ALCOHOLIC AND A BIGOT, IS ALSO A MISOGYNIST! HE MADE OUR LIVES A LIVING HELL! I’M NOT GOING TO FUCKING ‘BE NICE,’ TO HIM AND ‘CATER TO HIM,’ ETC. ANYMORE! DRINKING IN EXCESS AND EMOTIONALLY SCARRING YOUR CHILDREN IS WRONG – PLAIN AND SIMPLE!

how do i stop being emotionally closed off/ addicted to pain and disaster?

Thursday, April 14th, 2011

My man’s mother started chemotherapy today. I have known for months that it is time for me to man up and be there for him emotionally. However, I struggle to be open with him…to be supportive. For some reason, I continue my old patterns of clamming up and bottling up my emotions. I am so worried about saying the right thing, that I say nothing at all, and it has created a huge divide between us.
When we first met, I was a very self-destructive person…hurting myself, doing things I knew were bad for me…perpetually creating disaster…I am addicted to pain. I have come a long way since then, but my patterns are so ingrained, that I do not know how to break them. I have thought and meditated and wrote for countless hours to no avail. I have to break these patterns, otherwise my life and everyone’s who is close to me will be disaster.
Has anyone ever conquered self-destructive/emotionally closed off behaviors? Can anyone give me any kind of advice? This is very serious… please don’t respond unless you understand the gravity of this situation.

How long can someone live after being diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver?

Sunday, March 27th, 2011

My mom, an alcoholic for over 15 years, was recently diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. She became diabetic two years ago and has lost massive amounts of weight, brusies extremely easy, has hair loss, and has difficulty walking as she says she often has no feeling in her feet. She decided that she does not care and is continuing to drink as much as she ever did. How long does she have left to live? I’m getting married next August and am wondering if she’ll still be alive by then.

Mother being abused by adult son(s).?

Monday, March 7th, 2011

I have 2 sons, 20 and 25. My 25 year old who is @ 6’4″ – 225lbs, is known to abuse drugs/alcohol. He and my younger son have a “co-dependent” relationship. I went to Texas to help my younger son with paperwork for a new “job adventure” that he and my older son took on, (both A.D.H.D.) my older son (with an “instigating” girlfriend) started cussing me and when told to leave me alone yanked me off the floor by my hair, hit me several times and pushing me down to the floor several times. I HAD to call the law. I put a warrant out for his arrest and had an emergency protective order put in. I told my younger son that he best call his brother and girlfriend to tell them they better get a hotel room until I got out of there and back to Alabama. He was extremely angry with me about calling the law. He did not call his brother and he and the girlfriend showed back up, I had the “deadbolt” locked. They started beating on the door really mad. My youngest son got so mad at me because I told him I was calling the police (because of the “protective order”)..he let them in anyway. I barricaded myself inside a bedroom until the law got there. My youngest son was not present at the time this happened yet kept telling me, because of the older son’s irrational behavior and temper that we were going to “get another place”. We never did. The older son was telling his little brother that I attacked him…etc… He actually believed it…( I am disabled, have neuro-vascular problems, degenerative disk disease in my total spine and muscle weakness upon repetitive or extreme exertion, 5’4″ and 125lbs) After the oldest was taken into custody, the younger son wanted to “bail” him out that very moment on a $50,000.00 bond. He couldn’t find his wallet (I was always “keeping up” with everything he kept losing) He decided to call the law on me and told the police that I stole his wallet and had his brother falsely arrested… which he called back to tell them “he found his wallet”… He and my older son’s “girlfriend” started cussing me so horribly because they were mad that I had my son arrested… I had bruises all over me and now having more difficulty walking… The youngest son would not pay me what he owed me, saying wait until HE got paid..(he has PLENTY of money already from his dad’s death in 2000).. The day before he had me to hold onto some cash for him from a refund. It was about $110.00. I wanted to get back home and away from the abuse (not the first time and I was already abused by their late father and and his father years back)… He didn’t want to pay me so I used his cash I was holding to pay a taxi to take me to an airport, I rented a car in which I was thankful I had enough money in my checking account to cover. I drove almost 8 hours to get home in quite a bit of pain. The next day I was really feeling the after affects..physically as well as emotionally… (“WHY”?) My husband took me to the hospital to get checked. As we were thier waiting we found where my oldest son had sent an extremely violent and profane text message threatening my husband and I both. I called in this to the Alabama police. They gave me a case number, etc.. He DID show for his hearing in Texas and will be “arraigned” in a couple of weeks.
I spoke with the Asst. D.A. in Texas. My son did not enter a plea at all. Was told to get an attorney. I know that my son could spend year or more in jail yet the Asst. DA asked what I would want done…?
I personally hold both of my sons responsible, including the girlfriend… I told the DA something to the effect of REHAB, counseling, probation, etc… but I really don’t think that is going to help my son(s) learn that you don’t abuse ANY women… I know for a fact that MONEY is the most important thing in their life, admitted by both sons, sadly enough. I left “money” and “abuse” to get MY life in perspective after a 16 year marriage. It seems that this “abuse” of women runs in the family… I never thought I would be traumatized again as my current husband and I have what others call and I would agree a “perfect marriage”, what I deserved and what I was blessed with after all the traumatizing events that I have endured throughout my life.

SO?… Here I am not wanting to see my sons anymore(?) because of this, my motherhood has been ripped from my heart..and it’s going to take me quite some time to heal over the emotional scars that have been “re-opened”, being betrayed by my younger son… I have thought seriously about filing a civil suit against all 3… They have plenty of money..(I am on full disabilty)

.I have had my gas turned off over 4 months ago for a $194.00 bill. They are well aware of this yet I still have to take a cold shower or heat water to take a bath? They don’t care about me… they only come around when they “need some ‘advice’, feel sick, heartbreaks, tummy aches”…etc…They expect my undvided attention…I have given it… They are never there for “me”, their own mot
BTW? I have another profile on YAHOO and I DON”T mind reading about someone else’s problems and have helped quite a few… If you feel you must give “useless” answers “to get points” then I feel sorry for you… I DO CARE about other people. I AM an empath…
To ALL of you that have given sincere responses?.. I send you my very sincere thanks!!! Bless you ALL!

I spoke with the Asst. D.A. in Texas. My son did not enter a plea at all. Was told to get an attorney. I know that my son could spend year or more in jail yet the Asst. DA asked what I would want done…?
I personally hold both of my sons responsible, including the girlfriend… I told the DA something to the effect of REHAB, counseling, probation, etc… but I really don’t think that is going to help my son(s) learn that you don’t abuse ANY women… I know for a fact that MONEY is the most important thing in their life, admitted by both sons, sadly enough. I left “money” and “abuse” to get MY life in perspective after a 16 year marriage. It seems that this “abuse” of women runs in the family… I never thought I would be traumatized again as my current husband and I have what others call and I would agree a “perfect marriage”, what I deserved and what I was blessed with after all the traumatizing events that I have endured throughout my life.

SO?… Here I am not wanting to see my sons anymore(?) because of this, my motherhood has been ripped from my heart..and it’s going to take me quite some time to heal over the emotional scars that have been “re-opened”, being betrayed by my younger son… I have thought seriously about filing a civil suit against all 3… They have plenty of money..(I am on full disabilty)

.I have had my gas turned off over 4 months ago for a $194.00 bill. They are well aware of this yet I still have to take a cold shower or heat water to take a bath? They don’t care about me… they only come around when they “need some ‘advice’, feel sick, heartbreaks, tummy aches”…etc…They expect my undvided attention…I have given it… They are never there for “me”, their own moth

Mother being abused by adult son(s) Restitution?

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

I have 2 sons, 20 and 25. My 25 year old who is @ 6’4″ – 225lbs, is known to abuse drugs/alcohol. He and my younger son have a “co-dependent” relationship. I went to Texas to help my younger son with paperwork for a new “job adventure” that he and my older son took on, (both A.D.H.D.) my older son (with an “instigating” girlfriend) started cussing me and when told to leave me alone yanked me off the floor by my hair, hit me several times and pushing me down to the floor several times. I HAD to call the law. I put a warrant out for his arrest and had an emergency protective order put in. I told my younger son that he best call his brother and girlfriend to tell them they better get a hotel room until I got out of there and back to Alabama. He was extremely angry with me about calling the law. He did not call his brother and he and the girlfriend showed back up, I had the “deadbolt” locked. They started beating on the door really mad. My youngest son got so mad at me because I told him I was calling the police (because of the “protective order”)..he let them in anyway. I barricaded myself inside a bedroom until the law got there. My youngest son was not present at the time this happened yet kept telling me, because of the older son’s irrational behavior and temper that we were going to “get another place”. We never did. The older son was telling his little brother that I attacked him…etc… He actually believed it…( I am disabled, have neuro-vascular problems, degenerative disk disease in my total spine and muscle weakness upon repetitive or extreme exertion, 5’4″ and 125lbs) After the oldest was taken into custody, the younger son wanted to “bail” him out that very moment on a $50,000.00 bond. He couldn’t find his wallet (I was always “keeping up” with everything he kept losing) He decided to call the law on me and told the police that I stole his wallet and had his brother falsely arrested… which he called back to tell them “he found his wallet”… He and my older son’s “girlfriend” started cussing me so horribly because they were mad that I had my son arrested… I had bruises all over me and now having more difficulty walking… The youngest son would not pay me what he owed me, saying wait until HE got paid..(he has PLENTY of money already from his dad’s death in 2000).. The day before he had me to hold onto some cash for him from a refund. It was about $110.00. I wanted to get back home and away from the abuse (not the first time and I was already abused by their late father and and his father years back)… He didn’t want to pay me so I used his cash I was holding to pay a taxi to take me to an airport, I rented a car in which I was thankful I had enough money in my checking account to cover. I drove almost 8 hours to get home in quite a bit of pain. The next day I was really feeling the after affects..physically as well as emotionally… (“WHY”?) My husband took me to the hospital to get checked. As we were thier waiting we found where my oldest son had sent an extremely violent and profane text message threatening my husband and I both. I called in this to the Alabama police. They gave me a case number, etc.. He DID show for his hearing in Texas and will be “arraigned” in a couple of weeks.

I’m regressing back to being a baby and I’m 14 I don’t know what to do I cry everyday…do I have a psych prob?

Sunday, February 27th, 2011

This is long but I appricate if you read it. I’m crying so heard I can barely see the keyboard so sorry for any mistakes.

So I’m 14 and I want to get older but I’m regressing into infant behaviors and I feel like I’ve lost my mind.

To begin the story…

I was born of teenager parents, both were drug addicts. Mom shot up herion and smoked meth, dad liked herion and crack cocaine. At 8 months old I was given up for adoption. I don’t remember my real parents but it really hurts that they just threw me away like I was nothing!!!! I shouldn’t even have been born! I am caucasian, and was adopted by an African American mother and a Caucasian dad. They were in their late 20s/early 30s. They couldn’t have children because my adopted mom (Bernice) had ovarian cancer and had a hyserectomy, and she tells me everyday that I was the miricle child that she always wanted. But I have trouble connecting to her because we’re different races. I don’t know why I’m not racist, I mean it’s special right when a mother and daughter look alike? We don’t. I was crying about this the other day and she always tells me I’m always her bioligcal baby to make me feel better. I never knew my real mom, she was taken to a rehab center when I was a few months old. My real dad we had open contact with but haven’t heard from him in years, we aren’t sure if he is dead or is hiding from the law (he’s been in jail for domestic violence and drug possesion) I’m just sooo sooo sad about this!!! Then my boyfriend wants to break up with me because he says I’m clingy and annoying but I can’t help it I just want someone to love me!!!! And I don’t think I’ll find another boy ever again!

I started watching Cailou, my fav childhood show

Then I watched Little Bill, Kipper the Dog, Seseame Street, and Barney and the Sprout Network

I started sucking my thumb

Then I started sleeping with stuffed animals

Then I got my favorite blankey

Then I picked out a favorite stuffed animal. It had no special connection I just won it out of a claw machine a few years ago!

I always want my mommy to hold me

When I’m upset I cry really bad and I hold my cat and bawl

I don’t know what to do my boyfriend says I’m too clingy and when I don’t take my prozac he can tell (I’m on 30 mg) How do I keep him?

And why am I acting like this help me!!!

being falsely accused of molesting a child?

Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011

my boyfriend is being falsely accused of molesting his son’s mom’s 2 sisters 2 years ago. It just came up recently after his son’s mom got back from a coke binge to stay with her parents and now she’s trying to get custody back of their son. What does he do? He’s been arrested for it and can’t afford an attorney. His son’s mom put her sisters up to this because since she lost her son and put her other one up for adoption she wants him back.
anyone can be arrested for child molestation accusations without proof!! they go solely on the statements of the alleged victim. its procedure to arrest them then have a trial. he pleaded not guilt. his ex girlfriend is a coke head and her family has many unstable issues too. they are known liers and trouble makers. i know that doesn’t mean squat if he did it but a public defender won’t fight to investigate and get all the facts! i thought we were innocent until proven guilty in this country?!
