are blood tests specific


Posted Tuesday November 1 2005, 9:18 pm

hey, i was wondering if weed will show up in a blood test. I'm probably going to have one for something completely un-related to drugs. i mean like, they aren't looking for weed or anything. So, i guess i'm wondering if it will show up at all and if they have to be specifically looking for it to find it. How long does it stay in your system? I've heard 38 days, but i've only smoked twice (yesterday and three days ago) and i didn't smoke very much at all. Between both days, i probably didn't even have a bowl. Thanks

13/f. I'm so depressed. I feel like everything is declining. All I can do is remember "the good ol' days." My best friend just broke up with me that I had since kindergarten. Now at school, I'm completely friendless since she moved to Chile.
My choir used to be so great, but now, everyone has lost commitment, and all the best pieces have been "pulled." The younger choirs are now much more recognized, since the older choirs won't practice. This is a very prestigious choir...we performed at St. Peter's Basilica, and Carnegie Hall! But now, it has gone to dust. :( My mother is not the way she used to be, ever since she was framed at work. She has major depression. she's not fun anymore. Even the United States isn't i...

Mental Illness And What Scares You 101


Posted Wednesday October 19 2005, 4:53 pm



Okay, I have had it here. There are too many people rattling off answers about medical problems and mental illness in particular and it is pissing me off. Those kind of questions should not be answered by 13-year-old kids who NEVER had such an illness.

This is dicey shit folks and you need to know what you are talking about. Rather than have 10 pages of those questions with dumb answers I invite all those questions to go to me I am a moderator under the name GDROB.

I am BiPolar (manic depressive) at age 27 I know about hospital wards, mental wards, psychiatrists, what to expect, fears, and what is and is not a mental illness creeping up on you. Ie there's a question in meantal health about thum...

spacing out


Posted Sunday October 16 2005, 4:05 pm

ok i have been spacing out a lot lately. like i wont know when it happens and i wont know how long i am out. but i will space out. i will realise i am spaced after a little bit, but i cant move my self to bring myself back. its like i am not in my body anymore, or that it just wont move. i know this is weird but sometimes it takes me about 5 minutes before i can bring myself back once i realise that i am spaced out. once i bring myself back though, i have no idea how long i was gone. is this a bad thing? what can i do to stop it. also i have been diagnosed with ADHD about a year ago. i was on Strattera for it, but i cant afford it anymore. could this be causing it? i havent taken that for about 2 months now. but i also have been told that i...

Insanity...


Posted Sunday October 16 2005, 2:31 pm

16 male. I honestly think I am going insane. Things just have been building on me my entire life, and they are starting to just break through to the point where I cannot control my own emotions anymore.
It's like last night, everything inside me just exploded. My mom works on pit crew for my band, and she asked me to help unload the truck. Well, I happen to be the only person who uses the truck that has to unload because she is there. It always makes me a bit upset when she asks, but not like last night. Don't mention this, for it is not the issue. If you do, it is a 1.
What happened to me after scared me. I suddenly had flashback after flashback, showing me how un-normal I am. I have overprotective parents, first off, and beg...

Mood Swings


Posted Friday October 14 2005, 5:16 pm

When I get made at my mom because of something she said to me or something she wont let me do I get really really upset and basically start talking back to her and saying things I shouldn't then storm upstairs. After a few minutes of being unbelievably mad, I realize that I over reacted and go back down stairs and ask her if she needs help or something. It happens all the time. And because I do it alot, my mom now thinks I have mood swings. But, I don't, I just always feel sorry about the way I talked to her. I know it's something I need to change and I'm working on it because I know I shouldn't treat her that way. But, while I’m working on it, how can I convince her that I do not have mood swings?

The Pill


Posted Wednesday October 12 2005, 2:50 pm

Hi

I have been taking birth control pills for over a month now. The last few weeks I have been feeling a bit depressed, get stressed easily and find myself being really cranky with everyone and my bf..I am afraid he is starting to get fed up with it.. along with everyone else like my roommates. I realize how cranky and horrible I am being right after and then I feel really bad. Do you think this could be a side -effect of being on the pill? I read that they can cause mild depression:S

Thanks
