I've been seeing a girl for about two months and once in a blue moon, usually after sex she'll have what I believe to be a seizure. It involves lots of uncontrollable flailing about of her hands and her head but more worryingly she seems to choking on her own tongue or saliva which is probably my main concern. Should I only put her in the recovery position after she's stopped spasming and are...

Well, the other month i tried to commit suicide, i'm getting help but i've said to everyone i don't self harm any more and they believe me. I stopped self harming over a year ago but some nasty comments drove me to try and OD, i obviously failed, so now i self harm again, any sharp object i have on me i'll use. I do it everyday, i cover it up, i always wear long sleeves and pants, 4 years of self...

Been considering getting one for a while, both for ecological and financial reasons - sanitary products are expensive and messy (sick of ruining my underwear due to pad movement at night). I also still find even small tampons uncomfortable and just don't like them. And I want to be more environmentally friendly. Just wondering if anyone here has one (I think a few do) and what your experiences...

Okay its nothing too bad but lately I've been feeling low. - All my mates have seemed to disagree with me lately. Anything I say is never right and they're beginning to do things without me. With my aspergers I get paranoid in friends situations and find it hard in social situations and can't understand people well in which is why I get a bit worried and paranoid - I am beginning to think that...

Hi, I just wondered what people have found useful in getting better if they have suffered from mental health problems ? My other question is about psychosis. I don't know if anyone out there has experienced this, but I just wondered what could trigger it for different people. My own experience of psychosis was triggered by bullying as a teenager I believe. I feel much better now, but I'm...

I self harm. They already know, and last week we went to an appointment with a psychiatrist who has put me in for counselling. That's good, I know, but there are still problems. Everything sharp in my house has been hidden from me! And I still crave the feeling I get after cutting. I've tried going for walks, reading, studying, watching a film, having a bath, excercising etc. but nothing is...

Oh boy, this is gonna be like an essay... Congrats if you read to the end, you deserve a medal :razz: I've never been good with words, but I need some help. In short: I've started self-harming again. I know it's not a smart thing to do, and I know that it's a problem I should speak to someone about, but I just can't. I don't want to tell anyone, I just want to stop by myself, like I did...

Last night I thought I had a normal headache and figured I could take a tylenol for it to go away. About 3 hours later it was still there and took one more tylenol. It hurt so much I was squeezing my skull! Anyways I got some sleep and woke up with parts of another headache....why? did that happen? I thought sleep would have gotten rid of the migraine/headache? ______________________________...

I've always had cycles of depression and the odd cycles of being really happy and times of being normal... And whilst it has made things like relationships very difficult, only recently, has it been disabling... I go through phases of being incredibly happy, my senses feel stronger, my thoughts bounce around my head like pinball and I feel like a fricken genius! In these happy phases, I'm a...

Firstly sorry for being absent for like 2 years but I had no idea where else to look for advice. I've been on the pill since I was 15, didn't miss any in this months pack but still no period. I'm now 21 and about to sit my last ever uni exam (i am aware this could be a stress factor responsible for my missing period) but since my period is absent I can't get my brain sorted to sit down and study...

Its nearly been 48 hours since I've last SH and i am really struggling i am obsessing about it i can't seem to distract myself

Help! I completely freak out and have huge panic attacks when i see men from the army, down the street i feel cornered and trapped when i see them and i can't find a good distraction to stop the panic!

Im a big cutter and my girlfriend has always known that i do cut and has always wanted me to stop but she's never asked and thinks ultimatums are unfair she is so supportive and encouraging but I've been cutting deep lately and she has become worried i will go to far, she worries so much and i don't know how to ease that worry for her??

Hey there. I've decided I really want to lose some weight. Well, 2.5 stone would be great! I'm going on holiday in August and have worked out I'd like to lose perhaps on average 2 pounds per week. Can anyone suggest some simple exercises I could do at home? I live in the city and find it difficult to go running as I am too self-conscious. I've begun doing 50 sit ups plus some cross body twists...

Despite medical people saying I'm fine, I'm not allowed to drive, or even hold a driving license, I'm not allowed to work and as I discovered this week, I'm not allowed to go to Scotland for a few days to have some space without everyone freaking out and sending the police after me. I realised today that because I'm not entitled to help because I'm “fine”, things aren't going to be resolved;...

I've been cutting for years and always had good control of the depth but lately i have been cutting pretty deep i even had to go to the doctor for the first time ever yesterday and get stitches put into a lot of the them, Im getting closer to my wrist and am starting to worry i will cut at too deep by mistake i don't want to die i just like to cut... But how far is too far?
