okay so me and him were like best friends, he told me everything and i told him everything. he’s a couple years older than me but its no biggy. he confided in me about his abusive dad and we talked about out broken families and cutting ourselves. we helped guide eachother to recovery. he stopped my cutting and always comforted me through my depression. i helped him bust his addiction to drugs and alcohol and cutting, and got his dad to stop abusing him so bad. my parents think he’s trouble and didnt ever want me getting involved with him, but we just had a connection ya know? he told me about his past with cheating on girls and how guilty and sorry he was about it. he’s different from other guys and is kind of a loner so people give him a bad rep. he’s the most amazing person i’ve ever met. we could talk forever and thats exactly what we did. one night he told me he’s in love with me and has been for a while but never had the guts to tell me because he didn’t think i liked him like that. we were the happiest couple ever, but never got to see eachother because of my strict parents. i wanted to take the physical stuff slow, because i honestly, am scared of love because of the damage i’ve seen it do in my home and all around me and he knew that i tried to resist love and tried to never get attached emotionaly to anyone and he never pressured me into it, even though i’m still a virgin and he lost his to an ex he didnt love(one of his regrets), but he would always tell me “how bad he wants to kiss me right now” and he’d hold my hand and give me never ending hugs. he knew i was in love with him and he was in love too. everyone knew him as the stud, but with me, he was the perfect prince charming. i could tell him everything. i was the first girl he ever said he loved. he showed me off to his friends even though they and their girlfriends were older and beautiful and more busty, but he just looked at me like i was the most amazing thing ever. i have to admit even though i still to this day resist love, i truly let him in and he still owns a part of my heart. we had to keep our love secret from everyone so my parents wouldnt find out and i’d get in trouble. we only told friends we were omega close to, i told my as i thought “goodfriend” who turned out to be a huge liar and jealous backstabber who had a huge crush on my bf even tho she has one. she promised to keep it secret but then told her bf at the time and he told everyone at the school. before it got to far we decided it might be smart to break up so i won’t get in trouble, we ended the conversation with a big hug and “i love you”. we never saw eachother or talked much after that, which was about three months ago. my bestfriend who is also good friends with him asked him about it, and he said he only likes me as a friend now and thats it. i honestly don’t know how he feels, but i know i’ll always love him, he’s the only human i trust. i saw him the other day at a party and we siad hi and the whole night he was smiling at me and eyeing me out and following me around even though he really never hangs with my crowd. mixed messages!!!! ahhh does anyone know what this means?! i love him sooo much and want him back, but dont want to seem like i’m pressuring him into a relationship he doesn’t want to be in

I’m twenty and she’s nineteen, and she feels like she messed up so bad and a loser, but she can’t break the habits. I’m comforting her, saying that no matter what she does, I’ll always be happy with her and I don’t want to make her feel bad, at all.

But I’m so worried for her, extremely worried. I don’t want her to die!

hi, im a 25 year old female and i am recovering from alcoholism and prescription drug abuse issues following a long term relationship break up. so far im doing very well. i havent touched any substances in quite a while and i dont have any desire to. psychologically im doing great.
i got my bloods done recently .. all my vital organ functions are normal. however i still look like rubbish. despite the gallons of water i drink a day my face still looks very tired with prominent bags under my eyes. my hair is dry. i look stressed.
is there any vitamins i should be taking, foods i should be eating, beauty treatments, good habits i should be getting into??
can my appearance recover after alcoholism??

I’m only 19 years old and started smoking when I was 14. I quit for about a year after turning 15, when I decided I wanted to get healthy and lose weight and get in shape. I did successfully then, until I was 16 when two of my best friends were killed in a car accident. Until then, I have smoked to the present.

I see a love/hate relationship when it comes to nicotine and myself. I like the feeling it gives me, hence the reason I smoke.

Alcohol poisoning, according to many teen treatment centers   is the potentially fatal repercussion of drinking copious amount of liquor in a short span of time. Due to drinking excess alcohol, our body’s functions are considerably slowed down and there is a lapse in the heart-rate, breathing etc which unfortunately causes choking, breathlessness, suffocated feeling, low blood pressure and even death.  Teenagers, who are in their early to mid-teens, are vulnerable to alcohol poisoning more so compared to adults according to a reputed teen treatment center.

 The treatment process is such that the person is taken to the hospital quickly so that his or her condition can be monitored closely. Fluids and oxygen are given and a lot of proactive measures are taken to make sure that the person does not choke or suffer from breathing problems or chest pain.  There are some very effective medications that are used in treating alcoholism and alcohol poisoning which have proved to be fruitful

My brother has had many addictions in his life, cigs, alcohol, pain killers, cocaine.. you name hes had a problem with it. He is now clean and sober, or so we believe. He now doesn’t leave the house.. EVER. He is 25, he goes to work (with my neighbor) doing construction and comes home and doesnt leave his room. My entire family doesn’t know what to do.. He refuses to seek treatment. Many psychiatrists have told me and my mother to kick him out.. his response is “I will literally sit on the front steps and die” And we’re nervous, hes in fact, right.. We’re very confused and don’t know what to do. It’s very hard not to enable him and get his cigs and all the things he wants, b/c well he’s my brother and he has a problem and when we say “Sorry we have to stop enabling you, stop getting everything for you” it causes world war 3 in our house. WE NEED HELP..
Well, he is completely convinced his problem is social anxiety.. where as us around him see it as the reprocussions of his addictions.. hard to tell honestly. I will never be “willing to let him die on the steps” as someone said, bottom line he is my brother, I know that the enabling doesn’t help but it is SO hard not to, just to cause less stress for him and for us. If he were kicked out.. he would literally sit there and we all know that, he doesnt own a car, i bought him one and he unregistered it. so he would have absolutely nowhere to go..
OH and the smoking, we’re not really bothered by that.. I’m an ex-smoker too, quit about a year ago. and noone in the house has any addictions..
