Help me - I get sick everytime I go to sleep over at my friend's house?
Well, I think I kinda know why I get sick. A couple of months ago I had this episode where I was sick with the stomach flu, and the day before I got the flu I slept over at a friend's house and there was lots of candy and stuff. So I'm sleeping over and suddenly in the middle of the night I get really sick and all night I never call my mom or dad because I'm too tired after throwing up. It also doesn't help that her parent's smoked and the whole place reeked of it. And eventually I got over the flu, but now everytime I go over to a friend's house to spend the night, I start to feel really sick and so I have to make up some excuse and go home. And my friend is having a birthday, sleeping over party tomorrow!! what should I do?
Is my friend sick and what kind of sickness do she have?Help!?
Sounds like as you said throat Polyps. This is not an illness or sickness as such, but is very common with singers or people who use their voice regularly. It seems that she got good immediate care, but the only long term help, is to help herself by resting her voice. As for the seizure, there could be one thousand reasons and I don't think the two are necessarily connected. However, you say on that occasion shes went to hospital where I'm sure she was well looked after. Polyps usually happen through overwork of the vocal chords and can burst and bleed. The only cure is to rest the voice.
How can I help my dangerously-sick fruitarian friend (details in the comments)?
Strict ‘diets’ like veganism, fruitarianims and raw food are not just silly games to play with food, but dangerous conditions that easily turn into eating disorders.In many ways it is no different from anorexia, bulimia or megarexia.The people who have eating disorders and/or body dysmorphia;can not see how badly they are treating themselves.There idea of their body og what food they need, have no relation to human anatomy and nutrition or to what there is actually in the mirror.It is what there is going on in their head, that they believe.If they get very, very ill, you can sometimes get them committed to a hospital or a psych ward. But it depends on the laws of the country.If they are adults, they will often need to be in serious danger of loosing health o their life, for others to be able to force them to treatment.So it is a difficult situation.I dunno. Maybe try to get them to some therapy. Or find someone who can talk to them about their body image and beliefs. And while this goes on, get help from a professionel dietist who can help you make a plan of what they need to eat (within the crazy diet) or where they can get supplements; so they can get a little more of the essential nutrients until they are ready to get real help.
How can I help a homesick friend?
This is very normal for most students their freshman year. Tell her to hang in there. Once she gets new friends and activities at school and schoolwork, the homesickness will ease somewhat. After surviving freshman year even those that can visit their families every weekend don’t do it as much. I think its very helpful because once college is over most people don’t live with their parents again, though nowadays with the economy sometimes it is necessary. Saying something probably won’t help much, she needs to get involved with things over there. If things get really bad most schools have support groups for such problems as homesickness is very common for those just starting school, especially those who live far enough away that they can’t just drive home on weekends.
My friend is pretending to have bulemia and I'm sick of it... What should I do?
Your friend is a pathological liar and an attention whore. I know this because my sister is the same way. She told me she had cancer and was refusing treatment one Thanksgiving. This was over 20 years ago, and she is still alive and kicking. These people are toxic to your life. They impede your progress, your growth, and your happiness. You must treat this person as toxic, and cut her out of your life. It is not your job to save her, or help her be a better person. This is the ONLY life you are going to ever have, and you need to focus on your health and happiness. Surround yourself with people who lift you up, not tear you down. I know this sounds harsh, but I'm speaking from experience. Good luck to you.
My friend gives her son Nyquil and motion sickness medicine to "help him sleep?"?
My friend has a four year old son who is quite rambunctious. She loves him very much and has him enrolled in a very expensive christian pre-k program. Everything looks more than fine from the outside... But she recently told me (it didn't sound like a confession, just came up in conversation) that she sometimes (maybe less than once a week) gives him Nyquil or some kind of motion sickness (either sea sick or airplane...I can't recall which) to "help him sleep." I'm sure that she believes this is perfectly fine and normal, but I know better. I don't want to step on her toes or tell her how to raise her child, and I'm wondering if I should even bring it up again. She is not a very effective parent...she spoils him and lets him get away with everything. I have explained to her that if she just lets him cry himself to sleep and ignores the situation that it will eventually go away. But, she says she's tried everything and this is the only thing that works. How could I let her know that this isn't okay to do without sounding like I'm judging her?
I had a dream that my best friend was sick. I tried to talk to her on the phone but she barely had a voice.?
To see your friends, saddened and troubled, in your dream, signifies sickness and distress upon them To see your friends in your dream, signifies aspects of your personality that you have rejected, but are ready to integrate these rejected part of yourself. The relationships you have with those around you are important in learning about yourself. Additionally, this symbol foretells of happy tidings from them and the arrival of good news. To dream that you or others are sick, denotes discordance and trouble in your life. It may also signal a part of yourself that needs to be healed, either physically or mentally. I would say tell your friend about your dream but just in an informant type of way and not a warning way. Tell her to just pay attention to any changes. Better be safe than sorry.
How can I write a letter to a sick friend?
If you are writing to a friend , you can write a simple letter with a clear message .Something like this :Dear friend ,Get well soon .Your Friend / yours truly / yours sincerely( your name )But if you are writing to your best friend you can write a pretty long oneSomething like this :Dear friend ,How are you ? I heard that you fell down the stairs and broke your leg !! Are you ok ? Hope you are getting better . But seriously, what really happened ? Your mum told me that you were running and fell and blah blah blah but I want to hear directly from you . I am coming to the hospital to visit you in an hour . That's my final decision. No one can change it , and yes because you didn't come to school today you missed a lot of work . Don't be too happy , you'll have to complete the work later . Dam , I'm getting off the topic . What I wanted to tell you is :GET WELL SOON !! BUT NOT TOO SOON !! BWAHAHAH JUST KIDDING .Your friend( whoever you are )
My friend is suffering from severe depression. Need advice?
My friend (21 years old) told me that she is severely depressed. She cries almost daily and is going to see a shrink this week. I'm not sure how I can help her get through this. She is reluctant to talk about it. I'm not sure what could be causing it since she is not in financial difficulties and has friends and family that she can depend on. Any advice on how to help her from people who had the same problem or who also went through depression would be appreciated. Thanks.
