  • I didn't quit I just stopped going...?

    On Monday I woke up and realized I could not handle my job anymore. I just couldn't go back to that place, so I called in sick. On Tuesday I slept late and couldn't just leave a message that I would be out again. When I spoke with my manager and told him I hadn't left the house in 4 days and I couldn't see, he said I'd need a doctors note to return. Today, Wednesday, I called early and left a message that I was still sick and couldn't get to a doctor for a note (implying I can't afford a doctor).

    I'm wondering how long I can keep this up...I positively do not intend on working for them anymore. I would like to get unemployment for a few months to recuperate from well...my life. So therefore I do not want to quit I'd like to get fired. My boss however likes to pick on me and mess with me bad, I fear that if I return without a doctor's note waiting to get fired she will string me along for weeks even pretending nothing happened. I cannot work there another hour of my life and need to either insure I will be immediately terminated upon return or give in and quit.

    What should I do?

    How long can I keep calling in sick so I don't have to face them?

    Any suggestions greatly appreciated...

  • Chronic Reoccurring Mono?

    I just found out I have mono for the 4th time in 7 years. Last time I got it was 2 years ago and it didn't go away for 9 months...Anyone else dealing with this? How many of you have chronic reoccurring mono and have had mono this many times? It has killed my immune system and even the year and a half I didn't have it I felt I never recovered, they say that's the "chronic fatigue syndrome it caused? I always get so sick they spend weeks testing me for any secondary disease possible unable to believe all I have is mono. How do you deal with your mono? What helps...anything unconventional or that maybe I haven't heard before?

  • I don't know what to do...I'm insane...don't really want to keep living like this anymore...?

    So due to frequent absences from work because of terrible pain in my legs and muscles and being so tired I just can't get out of bed (usually only missing like 3 hours a week though) I was told next time I was absent for even 1 hour I needed a doctor's note. Well I didn't go in at all yesterday (Friday) so now I need a doctor's note to return on Monday. Well my boyfriend and I have been having problems...I've lost control of my emotions completely by now (because of both emotional and physical unbearable stress) and he lost his this morning, said he was going to leave then decided not to. And well I think I've decided I don't want this life (maybe no life) anymore...I'm losing the only person I have who I love with everything I am, my job, and my sanity. I have no money. I don't know what to do. So do I go to urgent care tomorrow and get the doctors note so I can go back to work on Monday only to do the same thing over and over and have a nervous breakdown or not wake up again and have to get another doctors note or do I just let it go and quit my job(that I can't physically or emotionally handle right now anyway) so I can sit at home with my unemployed boyfriend who drives me crazy and is done with me anyway until he walks out in an angry fit and I kill myself?

  • Help? My man is sick. Flu? Food poisoning? How serious?

    I was working all day (8-5) and apparently he's been very sick all day and between the couch and the toilet...He says he's dying but it may be exaggerating a little...Please help...

    Symptoms all day:

    Frequent Diarrhea

    Severe stomach cramps

    Bad head ache

    Nausea

    He says the first time he vomited, though, was after I was home from work. I went to the store and got him Maalox, bottled water, Gatorade and a thermometer (non-digital, he wont use digital ones). The Maalox has helped the cramps and he hasn't been to the bathroom in a while so that is good. He has been sipping on the water, no Gatorade yet, and when I took his temperature it read 96.2 twice 10 min apart from each other.

    Any diagnoses or tips greatly appreciated. Plus I need to know the signs that it is serious or that he needs medical attention to know at what point he needs a hospital.

    Thank You

  • Do you have Peripheral Neuropathy? What about Neuropathic Pain?

    If so...what are your usual symptoms?

    Focusing mainly on the neuropathic pain and strange sensations you DO feel, not numbness or loss of control/stimulation which I rarely experience. What does it feel like? Where do you feel it (generalized area, one limb, everywhere) and does it ever affect your circulation?

    I need a second opinion on a diagnosis and want to see if my symptoms are common characteristics of this.

    Thank you for any help.

  • Does every relationship have a "Point of No Return"?

    Does every relationship have a "Point of No Return"? Once too many hurtful things have been said and there are too many disappointments and everything becomes a conflict with conflicting stories is there any way to get past that? After they suggest a split-up is it impossible to put it behind you and trust again?

    What if you love this person with all your heart, cant watch another dream die, and know the end of the relationship would be the end of you (physically, I'm serious)? Am I just stuck waiting for the last little pieces to fall apart then just die in silent peace with the last love I'll ever know...or want to know?

    How do you fix something that hurts and terrifies you too much to think about anymore?

  • I'm losing control and no one (not even me) understands?

    I have a history of severe depression, anxiety, attempted suicide and self mutilation (addiction to cutting lasted 5 years). People around me like to say I'm "past this" but anyone who's been there knows that it never really goes away.

    I stopped cutting myself almost 2 1/2 years ago. Last time I attempted suicide was 4 years ago and up until about 2 months ago I was doing really really good. I have a great job, making good money especially for my age and have unbelievable potential. I live with my boyfriend of 1 1/2 years who I love with all my heart and I thought we were doing good.

    Then some stuff happened, everything changed...at home at least. Now he's gone all night and when he's home I cant control my anger and I drive him away. I have all this pressure and stress and cant handle it. I'm supporting us and I hate to say I'm dissapointed in him but it feels like all our dreams and goals are lost, I tried to keep it alive but now I'm just working myself to the bone without even believing in it anymore. It's just something to occupy me, if I sat around in this apartment (which I'm alone in all night) all day I'd go insane.

    Problem is...I think I already am. I lash out in violent fits, I throw things, hit thing, hurt myself, abuse "substances" and yell and scream at him or just at myself when I'm alone. I cry all the time and it's gotten to where I've thought about it so much I cant talk about it anymore. I want to cut myself sooooo bad. I think about it all the time and how it would just serve him right if he came home and I wasn't there or was dead.

    This is where I never ever wanted to be again! He is trying...at least in the last couple days it seems true. I'm just afraid I cant bring myself back. I'm so dissapointed as to how things were and how they were supposed to be. I've lost all faith and trust in both of us and really don't want to keep going. I go to work because it's routine. I'm at the top and praised constantly at work but I just think about if they really knew. The "stuff" that started happening are things I cant talk about with anyone who doesn't do those things too. So I am helpless, alone, and so sad and lonely. I just want my baby back...but I'm afraid now that he's trying I have already given up and un-attached too far to make things right again.

    I just wish I didn't have to wake up and face this again. I want to sleep forever. Any advice?

    Anti-depressants and Counseling both failed horribly...my depression, self-mutilation, anxiety, and suicidal tendencies I had to overcome on my own. By myself...and I did it but I don't think I have anymore strength left. I've been through a lot....You wont understand this at all because there is no way I could go into what I have seen and been through and done. I just cant find the strength to keep going...

  • Severe tingling pain in lower legs, feet and sometimes hands? Poor circulation?

    About a month ago I started getting occasional cramps and sharp pains in my legs. They usually are just little flashes of slight pain but go away so I wasn't too worried about it.

    After tonight I am, I got home from work feeling extremely tired. I used to be very anemic all the time and that is how I felt so I took some vitamins (Multi-vitamin with Iron) and layed down on the couch with a down blanket because I was feeling strangely cold.

    I guess i fell asleep, only for about 20 minutes, and my boyfriend started making some food for me. When I woke up my right foot was asleep...no biggie, I was laying on it and have low blood pressure so it happens. When I woke up I was very out of it and weak though, I felt like I could not get up, couldn't think, anything.

    Then I started getting these burning, tingling, but kind of numb at the same time pains in my feet, ankles, calves and hands. I looked at my hands and all the veins were bulging out and hurt really bad. I tried to get up to go to the bathroom but when I did my legs were so bad I could not stand.

    My second attempt I managed to stand up but my ankles were stiff and I could barely walk. After a few steps my feet felt like they were full of fluid, almost like when they hit the ground I could feel vibrations of fluid. Now the veins in my feet were bulging out and my legs/feet were red from mid-shin down. It hurt so bad and took about 15 minutes to get better.

    Similar thing happened Friday night when I fell asleep and then woke up and actually had a panic attack because my hands and feet hurt so bad. It feels like blood is not making it to my extremities and then it finally gets the chance but hurts like hell filling them back up.

    I've been doing hypochondriac research and things like venous insufficiency, Buerger's disease, deep vein thrombosis or foot paresthesia sounded similar.

    I have no idea though and I'm sort of scared. My boyfriend thinks I have a blood clot for some reason...Medical history:

    - 20 year old female

    - history of low blood pressure and various vitamin deficiencies

    - weak immune system from chronic recurring mono (in the past)

    - "chronic fatigue syndrome" diagnosed after mono was gone

    - underweight

    Any help very much appreciated!!

    Thanks!!!

  • What is it called when someone hides/stores/collects their own vomit or fecal matter?

    Either for purposes of shame or to pick through and examine in privacy. Probably associated with bulimia and similar conditions...I have seen on TV a girl who stored vomit in large buckets in her closet. I recently became aware of someone who stores and examines his own fecal matter.

    What is this condition called? or classified as?

    Any links to information on this phenomenon?

  • What does it mean if the needle is in the vein but when you pull back the plunger to check you get no blood?

    When attempting to inject it feels and looks like its in the vein but its been about a week since any blood has been able to be drawn in order to check if its in the vein.

    When you pull on the plunger, even very slowely, no blood comes. Sometimes nothing at all sometimes little air bubbles.

    Had no problem with this before but it just will not work now.

    I've been told its due to low circulation causing the veins to collapse, sometimes I even feel the needle suck onto the lining of the vein and it hurts so I give up.

  • Does blood glow under a black light?

    I was scanning the carpet of my apartment with a black light and came across a weird stain that glows with the black light but is undetectable under normal light. I noticed a trail of these stains starting in the living room in little drips and leading to the hallway where it ends at the door in a puddle of little drip marks. It looks like they they crept slowly to the door then stood by the door for a while maybe looking out the peep hole to make sure the coast was clear.

    This frightens me because my next door neighbor's lock was recently picked in the middle of the night and two homeless guys were watching her and her son sleep. Plus I've been the victim of 2 attempted home invasions in the last week. We scared them off but offended them with racial slurs so they keep coming back.

    My apartment buildings a little creepy and who knows what happened here before I came along...

    If blood was cleaned up would it still show with a black light?
