Help Me, I Think I’m Going Crazy. Please Help.?
Question by Cindy: Help me, I think I’m going crazy. Please help.?
Let me tell you a bit of background information. I am 15 years old, and am not very close with my family. I am a recovering anorexic who still obsesses and struggles at times. Im loaded with stress and an intense sadness all of the time. One thing could take me over the edge and I would start crying and having intense thoughts of suicide. Its very hard to explain, but I often feel as if I’m losing my mind. My mom has told me in the past that I make things up in my head that don’t happen, and I am very unaware. I feel like I have disconnects with reality. I used to smoke cigarettes to help relieve stress, and I also used to self-harm. I still burn myself using a lighter from time to time. I ask myself why I’m even doing it, and I don’t even know, I’m just not happy and feel as if screws are being drilled into my head from my stress levels. The problem is that I don’t even know where the stress comes from. I sit around on weekends and have battles in my mind ALL DAY. I sit in my room and cry and wonder what the hell is up with me. I have panic attacks out of no where and start freaking out. My mom has told me that need serious help, but I deny it. I believe her though, and I feel like I’m losing my mind. My father has a history with drug and alcohol addiction, and I don’t know If that genetically effects my mental health or not, but In trying to find reasons for this. I have a mental illness already(anorexia) and I think I may have bipolar disorder as well, or at least something else. What should I do? I’m currently doing very well recovering from anorexia, I’m very proud of myself, so I’m not looking for answers about that, but I would like to know if I am indeed losing my mind or if I have another mental condition. I just don’t know what to do. :/ please help, give me any imformation you can, it would be much appreciated.
What Will Happen? Suboxone.?
Question by Uncle Salty: What will happen? Suboxone.?
What will happen if you’re taking Suboxone for opiate addiction…and you relapse and take a few vicodins or percocets?
Best answer:
Answer by oldgoat
I’m not sure exactly what you mean with your question. Bupe-type drugs block the sensation your brain interprets as a buzz. Depends on the size of your suboxone dose, and how much vicodin and percoset it was up against, but it’s pretty good at making the pursuit of a buzz pretty much pointless..That’s the whole point of the drug, so if you got a buzz, you probably need a higher dose Or stop denying your nature and admit you’re a junkie. It’s a hard,stark thing to say looking in to the mirror, but you cant change your nature until you face it, even the dark ugly parts we’d rather avoid. You’ll be just fine. A moment of weakness is not a failure, it’s just human. Just dust yourself off and hop back on the wagon .Good luck

Fluoride Woes? Need Advice?
Question by Will: Fluoride woes? Need advice?
Ever since I discovered the dangers of fluoride in my city’s drinking water, I’ve felt cheated of a natural well-being. I think about how much I’ve consumed over the last two decades of my life, considering I’ve gone through years of iced-tea addiction as well, and I wonder how much my health will suffer in the future (or already has suffered) as a result. I particularly worry about the effects that it has had/will have on my IQ. While I’ve never had an IQ test done before, I scored around the 93rd percentile for my SAT, and I’ve read that SAT scores have a correlation to IQ. I know that I’m intelligent and creative, and I want to become an artist and a musician. It’s just that the more I read about the countless studies that have been done on children from towns of different fluoridation policies, the more I am frightened. I wonder what my mental state would be like if I was from one of the numerous European countries that forbids water fluoridation – how much higher would my IQ be? Would abstract and creative thinking come easier? Would I generate more complex art, music, and ideas in general? I feel like I deserve the mental state that I was genetically influenced to posses, without being compromised by the actions of corporate lobbyists regarding water fluoridation. I hate them. While I know that my intelligence is still fairly high, I am still angry that I was exposed to this to begin with, and that no one protected me from it.
