I have a friend who was held up at gun-point a few months ago, and has nightmares.What can she do to get help?
Answer:
Help her find a good counselor with experience in treating PTSD - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. They used to call this "shell shock" but it can be caused by many types of trauma.
I have found that telling yourself - I'm here - I'm ok - I'm not in danger - helps difuse the most panicky and anxiety producing parts. If she has nightmares and trouble sleeping have her try getting in plenty of exercise - it will help both make her feel better by controlling and releasing the anxious energy and by tiring herself out so she can sleep without getting the nightmares.
Mostly as she feels safer it will disipate in time but can return when triggers happen - loud noises, people argueing, perhaps the sight of certain things - violent movies - can trigger anxiety.
Mostly knowing that it is normal will help difuse it.
PTSD is sort of a gift - it is natures way of gearing you up so you are ready for danger and ready to survive it.
If she thinks of it as a survival mechanism it may help her feel like less of a victim.
Self defense training or a group where she can talk to other women can be helpful too.
I definitely would NOT recommend any drugs for it - the symptoms will subside over time and most drugs to treat mental health problems have really nasty side effects.
see a therapist. thats the only thing i could think of
to try and get her in her right state of mind.
watch rated G movies like da ones that were made in 1990 like the land before time :D
thats what i do when im feeling scarred for life
Sounds like Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Its common when people have traumatic things happen. It explains it here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ptsd...
You should have your friend consult a therapist to talk about what they are feeling. Possibly a psychiatrist depending on how severe. Good luck
She may have or be developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. She should see a Master's level therapist (licensed professional counselor or social worker). Psychologists can help too, but they are more expensive and aren't any better at doing therapy.
She can ask about sliding scale fees if income is a challenge. It is okay to shop around a little. Encourage her not to give up if the first one or two therapists aren't a fit. Often they will be, but if not she will find one that fits her needs if she persists.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a term for certain severe psychological consequences of exposure to, or confrontation with, stressful events that the person experiences as highly traumatic. I think this might be her problem. Symptoms can include general restlessness, insomnia, aggressiveness, depression, dissociation, emotional detachment, and nightmares. There is a treatment therapy also medicine. A Vietnam war veteran had this he has been treated and is fine. Good luck!
she need to move out of that damn town for while.
She needs to have a lot of support. She should seek counseling immediately.
I was attacked by a male behind my house when I was 16 yrs old one nite late after working an evening job. They never found out who the attacker was and It was horrifying%26gt; My parents never did anything for me. Years have gone by and now I realize they should have arranged for some type of counseling for me
Your friend seems to be suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Have her family physican refer her to a therapist, or find someone who will be able to tell your the best therapist for her to go to.
She needs to talk with a Dr , %26 a counselor. They might give her something to help her sleep, %26 talking about it can help her get past what happened.
I have a friend who uses meth, he hallucinates seeing and hearing things I don't see?
he is convinced they are real , he sees people that aren't there, hears music, voices, his friend sometimes is seeing the same thing, does anyone know if there is something called the spiritual realm and people on drugs enter this different demision, does this spritual realm as they call it exist? it is scary to me and i would like to learn more about it, i am worried about him if anyone else has experienced this what happens?
Answer:
Altering the state of your mind via chemicals is not a portal to the spiritual world. It is like someone who has been in an accident, and is suffering from brain damage.
Hallucinations are nothing more than the result of brain cells being melted away by chemicals. Get your friend some professional help immediately.
In regards to your question about the spiritual world. It seems that if the spiritual world does exist, and as long as humans have been on this earth, don't you think we would have established some scientific evidence of this dimension that proves it exists without a doubt, but you know what.we haven't, so until it is proven to exist, as far as I'm concerned, it's just a fantasy.
That's just the drugs making him hallucinate. That stuff will kill you.
well you need to use meth in order to see things
the things they see and hear, are things from their imagination, the brain just makes it seem real, because of the drugs..
your friend need's help major help meth can mess you up pretty quick, I know its like a one hit addicition but your better off kust trying to get him off it.. find his crack pipe and break it get him into NA.
I'd say get rid of those friends. They are only heading in one direction and thats down hill.
Its the drug that makes him that
It is NOT a spiritual realm. You said it right: He hallucinates and sees things that are not there--on any realm. The chemicals alter the brain. If the brain is deprived too long of air, water, light, hallucinations occur. Drugs alter the natural chemical of the brain and do the same, only in a very dangerous way. Your friend is playing with his life. PLEASE don't go there!
forget the spiritual realm and do your friend the biggest favour of his life, get him help. his problem will come to no good end. if you really care, HELP HIM NOW..
Yes Pink. Be careful what you mess with! My advise is study study study the Bible and talk with Christian friends about this and other things. There you will find real answers that you want and possibly make some good new friends.
It is a sad thing to see when a loved one is this effected by drug usage.
I have used drugs in the passed and have been addicted to different substances, [dominantly methaphedamines] and what actually made me quit [I am 100% clean now] is seeing someone I loved have a mental break down. Seeing that look in his eyes, and hearing the nonsense coming out of his mouth. I layed in bed and cried. It was the worst night of my life.
I believe that there are "fallen angels" that walk the earth and have longer than any of us have been living. I believe they have seen things we have not seen and whisper lies to us when our hearts and minds are left vacant. When we give ourselves to drugs or any form of substance we do not have God to fill that void any more, because we have evicted God for these drugs. Without the strength of God in our hearts and minds we are left open for these "fallen angels" or "spirits" whatever you want to call them..
If your friend is having hallucenations he has probably been using for a while now, and there really isn't much you can do except be a good influence for him. If you feel he is only a stumbling-block to you [causes you to want to do bad things] or only causes you pain and hurt, do not feel bad if you need to be no longer in his life. No one will ever quit using a substance unless it is what *THEY* want to do, and when *THEY* are ready. He can get clean and get clean and get clean, but until he is ready, no program, prison or loved one can keep him that way. I know this is sad information, but all you can do is stay positive, stay true to yourself, and as much as it may hurt.. Stay away..
I will say a prayer for the happiness and health of both you and your friend.. Where ever your lives may lead you!
Try to remember.. God gives us what we need, even if it's not always what we want...
The spiritual realm exists and it has nothing to do with meth. I've done almost every illegal drug there is. I quit using regularly when I was in my twenties. I have always, since I was born felt and known the Holy Ghost (spirit) and other spirits. That's because they exist (live) as we do. Your friend is just finally feeling and understandng the family that is around him. I Love Y'all Forever.

What your friend is seeing is the chemical reaction to a drug. While there is nothing there to harm him, he feels there is and therefore is a danger to himself and others.
I would stay away from him period....He's not right in the head and messing with these drugs will get him and other in trouble.
There is a spirtual realm called paradise but he's not there..

I have a friend who is addicted to prescription Pain Medication, How can I help her? Heroin?
She is on several different medications. Along with a Morphine Patch! She walks out into traffic and has been hit, she has fallen and broke her arm and didn't even feel it. She lost her house because all of her money was going for the Meds. She lost her family and she blaims her family, she doesn't admit she has a problem.While on morphine patch and other pain medications she went to another Dr. called me to ask me to meet her there so I could help her home. She could hardly talk! Her head was bobbing, she didn't get any more drugs thank God. This was another Dr. she was seeing for the first time. Anyway she told me that a Dr. can prescribe Herion! I said no way that this is a street drug and she swore she can get heroin from a Dr.I am just about at the end of my rope! I have hung on because everyone else has given up, but I don't think I can be there for her.I live way across town, I can't watch her 24/7 I can't take her pills away, so what do I do? Give up like everyone else?
Answer:
She will grow a tolerance to the medications and soon be in lots of pain if she doesn't stop, and will also be in lots of pain when she stops because her body's 'pain relievers' will have stopped putting out by this point and will take time to hopefully get back to normal.
This isn't about whether or not a Doctor can proscribe heroin.
I'd be asking yourself what it is you want in a friend, not on how to save a friend who more than likely will take you down with her. Why are you friends with this girl? She does not sound fun, or like she's going anywhere in life, she even sounds like an energy sink.
send to rehab
Your friend can't be helped. She loves drama and attention. If you back away from her, she'll stop this stupid s--t!!
No, but you can refuse to furtherher efforts to get pain medication, and just support her. She may take the pain meds to escape from psychological pain.
Herion is differently a street drug and is not subscribed bt any Dr. You need to get her into a rehab asap. there are plenty of State free rehabs. Check your local state agencies for help. Good luck, I have been there with a friend of mine, and know he is clean!
Stop being an enabler. Either she goes to rehab, or you end the friendship. Everyone else gave up because she's making the choice to live this way--- when will you get smart?
If you think you can get someone off opiates all by yourself, write down your secret because I'm sure there are 1000's of people who'd like to know how.
People CHOOSE to stay hooked on drugs or they CHOOSE to get clean and sober. You're just enabling her to remain a user.
you have to call these "dr.'s" and tell them what she is doing. you have to tell her parents (if they don't already know). and you have to let her hit her bottom. then, the only thing she can do is get better. i was a heroin addict for 10 years. now i am sober - for over three years. everyone enabled me and i continued. once the last person let me go things got much worse. i contemplated suicide. instead i chose rehab - state funded because i was homeless at this point. and it worked for me. and i honestly feel it worked because no one was helping me. i had to help myself. now all of those relationships are mended and i am grateful to those who let me go.

I have a feeling i'm going to die before i turn 15 or when i am 15?
well ever since i was about 10, iv'e been telling my mom that i'm going to die at 15. i told her that soo many time since i was 10. and iv'e written "if i die letters" ..i dont know. when i was 10 i was like who cares, 5 years is along time and i never thought about it, but now i am 14 and now i think about it a lot more since 15 is just in like 8 months. do you think i just need help? lol my uncle always said he wasnt going to live passed 30, he always told family that.. and when he was 29 he died in russia [he was on a trip]. so do you think i'm just physcic in that way or am i just crazy
Answer:
I feel the same way about when I turn 16. [I'm 14.]
Don't worry too much about it, its probably all in your head.
[Only God can tamper with your destiny, so I doubt any suspicions you may have will determine your death.]
The fact that your uncle died a couple months shy of being 30 was probably mere coincidence!
Only when God knows!
No - this happens alot.
But have you heard of law of attraction
the more you tell yourself, the more you will (with anything)
If I were you, I would see a very well-known and popular psychic who has loads of experience or even a recommendation
No one or thing (no religion here) knows when you will die.
when I was a kid I always felt I was going to die very young but I'm 36 now and I no longer feel that way.
OMG THIS HAPPENS TO SOO MANY PEOPLE%26gt;... i take many phycology classes and i need to tell you this... PLZ GET HELP BEFORE IT HAPPENS... the body is a diffuclt machine that runs with the brain as its main manufacuting power. People like u are what we call Schizodyaframs. its atech. word. u belive u r going to die so your body acually becomes in functio with the brains belief and . you will die. IM SOO SORRY. u seem like a sweet girl and im worried. I dont want this to happen but im afriad its to late. or i might be completly incorrect but this does happen. dont let ur brain trick you!
just try to forget about that feeling. No one knows when we are going to die, it could be when you're 20, 50, 110? nobody knows. You are just worrying yourself too much. Enjoy the time that you have. When you turn 16, you'll be like , "All that worrying for nothing!" Here's an inspiring little quote, so read it and think about it: "Don't count the days, make the days count." It means don't count how many days are left, just let the days last and be memorable. :) Hope i helped you!
Why do you think you are going to die at 15? Did your uncle do anything that would have caused him to die younger than most people (reckless behavior, an illness, etc)?
Ever heard of ur mind being ur worst ennemy, i think that if u think about it too much ur gonna forget whats around u. They say ppl who are on depressions get cancer or some kind of disease, if u think about it they shouldnt have a relation, but unhappy ppl seemed to get more sick then others.
that is so normal we all had that feeling that we were going to die at some age but almost 80% of the time is not true, for a girl there is a story that when they are 15 years old, the only thing that dies on them is there kid and become a women that is an old story my grandmother told me a long time ago. but try to be safe enjoy all you can now that you are young and you will see God is the only one that will tell when is your time.
I doubt you're psychic and you're definately not crazy. I thought I was wierd because I always thought I was going to die when I was 14 years old. I've never heard of anyone thinking the same thing before until you. Well I lived past 14 and I'm fine. I really can't tell you why I thought that, or why you do, but I was wrong anyway. You don't have anything to worry about trust me. You're anything but crazy so don't think about that either. If you and I had an age we thought we'd die at, maybe other people do too. About your uncle, 30 is a pretty round number and I think it's just a coincidence.
I think if you think your going to die at 15, then you are. you may die if you've brainwashed yourself into thinking so. i bet if you say you'll live to 50 you will. it's all in your head.

I have a fear of ghosts?
Okay well I have a tremendous fear of ghosts. It's starting to interfer with my everyday life. I can't sleep at night, I have trouble looking in the mirror, I have trouble walking in the dark. It's weird because I have never been afraid of anything before until now. Most people think I'm crazy that I think ghosts are everywhere and I have a fear for them. But it's starting to stop me from doing everyday things. And what I'm asking is what can I do to overcome my fear without making it worse?
Answer:
Have you had experiences with ghosts? I've have many,mostly non threatening. The only then I can recomend, is to rebuke them in the name of Jesus Christ. It worked for me. Best wishes
just keep telling yourself they don't exist and don't let your mind play tricks on you
Don't fear them. Most of the time they are harmless.
What is your fear of Ghosts about? Most are just spirits that are there to watch over you. Usually it is someone you were close to and they are just watching over you and protecting you.
since ghosts are real, u should get an exorcist to get rid of them.
This seems like a case of phasmophobia (fear of ghosts). If it's getting in the way of your everyday life, see a therapist before it gets worse. And stop reading ghost stories, movies, urban ledgends, and those MySpace chain letters.
this sounds familiar.
I get like this sometimes.
it might sound crazy but try talking to them. keep the mood light. it helps me.
it also sounds like you may have some uncontrolled anxiety? talk to your doctor, but you may want to try some 5HTP or st. johns wort.
p.s
I can't look into mirrors at night either. ")
even if you can't convince yourself that they don't exist just be reasonable about it. just think, if they are everywhere and always have been, none of them have hurt you yet so why would they start now. do you really think they are even capable of hurting you?
They can't hurt you because they don't belong here. Next time you get scared say out loud "Go away, you do not belong here". They know it's true.
try to talking to some ghost hunters. or just simply move to another place if thats what it takes
Ghosts are nothing more but your imagination and what producers put in movies to scare people like you and many others the only thing that really exist are spirits and all they do is help you and watch over you to make sure you are okay and even if a ghost is real it will help you more than harm you!~!! if you need anything contact me
I, personally, have studied this kind of thing, also known as paranormal investigation, or parapsychology, and here's my input, in simplest terms:
The idea of a ghost is someones spirit that hasn't left our earth. It just doesn't have a body. So in that aspect, it is no different than you, or your neighbor. The reason people fear them so much is because they don't understand them, and it seems that they are some kind of "monster". But this is not the case. If you were to encounter one, it would be like encountering someone walking down the street- they're going about their business, and you're going about yours.
To reduce your fear, just remember- these are spirits without bodies. Likely, no more dangerous than people, animals, etc, that you see walking down the street. It's not like what you see on tv or in the movies, at least not to my knowledge :P. Most spirits are just going about their business. So you should continue to go about yours.
Don't waste your time being afraid- I mean, there are tons and tons of things that are harmful to us- but we can't live in fear. Just live, with a little caution, and respond to situations as necessary- do what you have to do to make things ok for yourself, if that makes sense. Everything will work out.
If the problem persists, you may need to see a doctor to help you with your fears. In that case, I would go to a trusted parent, friend, or family member, and ask for assistance.
Dont work yourself up over something like this..I dont think your crazy but if a fear starts to interfere with your ability to function its more than a fear..and you might want to talk to someone about it.Personally?.Im not afraid of ghosts.Im wayyyyy more afraid of the real live nuts and maniacs walking around than I am of ghosts..
either your just weird %26 need to realize that everyone else are the same way or that your house is haunted.

p.s
I can't look into mirrors at night either. ")
even if you can't convince yourself that they don't exist just be reasonable about it. just think, if they are everywhere and always have been, none of them have hurt you yet so why would they start now. do you really think they are even capable of hurting you?
They can't hurt you because they don't belong here. Next time you get scared say out loud "Go away, you do not belong here". They know it's true.
try to talking to some ghost hunters. or just simply move to another place if thats what it takes
Ghosts are nothing more but your imagination and what producers put in movies to scare people like you and many others the only thing that really exist are spirits and all they do is help you and watch over you to make sure you are okay and even if a ghost is real it will help you more than harm you!~!! if you need anything contact me
I, personally, have studied this kind of thing, also known as paranormal investigation, or parapsychology, and here's my input, in simplest terms:
The idea of a ghost is someones spirit that hasn't left our earth. It just doesn't have a body. So in that aspect, it is no different than you, or your neighbor. The reason people fear them so much is because they don't understand them, and it seems that they are some kind of "monster". But this is not the case. If you were to encounter one, it would be like encountering someone walking down the street- they're going about their business, and you're going about yours.
To reduce your fear, just remember- these are spirits without bodies. Likely, no more dangerous than people, animals, etc, that you see walking down the street. It's not like what you see on tv or in the movies, at least not to my knowledge :P. Most spirits are just going about their business. So you should continue to go about yours.
Don't waste your time being afraid- I mean, there are tons and tons of things that are harmful to us- but we can't live in fear. Just live, with a little caution, and respond to situations as necessary- do what you have to do to make things ok for yourself, if that makes sense. Everything will work out.
If the problem persists, you may need to see a doctor to help you with your fears. In that case, I would go to a trusted parent, friend, or family member, and ask for assistance.
Dont work yourself up over something like this..I dont think your crazy but if a fear starts to interfere with your ability to function its more than a fear..and you might want to talk to someone about it.Personally?.Im not afraid of ghosts.Im wayyyyy more afraid of the real live nuts and maniacs walking around than I am of ghosts..
either your just weird %26 need to realize that everyone else are the same way or that your house is haunted.
I have a fear of death-and I'm only 15!?
It's more the uncertainty of what comes after that I'm scared of.
Like I asppire to be a famous actor and I'm scared that after all that ive done in my life I'll suddenly blink out of existance.
I don't really believe in god though I do think there is someone out there or some sort of 'other level' or supernatural world out there. but anyway i can't think about it for too long because it makes me feel so awful inside, like i could suddenly be not thinking, not doing anything, just not there anymore. as stuck up as it sounds my world does revolve around me cause basically there is no my world without me, i mean if im dead then how can i be in the world and thinking and what not-i duno its hard to explain but i don't understand what happens when i die.
I mean i do sorta believe in some of that physcic stuff. surely all those millions of physcucs (excluding the phoneys) are talking to someone-and if so does that mean we all survive after death.
Any advice?
Answer:
I used to feel the same way, as even though I'm religious I don't believe that consciousness persists after death. The way I see it, we're scared of death mostly when we're not satisfied with the life we're living. So my advice is to live as full and happy a life as possible. That way you'll leave a mark on the world that will last even after you're gone--to wherever that may be when we go. You will have changed part of the world for the better and people will remember you lovingly. So that way you're never truly gone from this world.
I've also gotten anxious thinking about what death must feel like. To me, being dead is probably what it felt like before I was born or the times I was under anesthesia for surgery.any time I just wasn't "there" at all...and those weren't bad sensations in any way. The way I see it, if I live a very long, very full life and touch a lot of people and accomplish a lot of things, there will come a point when I want to go completely and get some rest from so many years of constant thinking, feeling, and working.
Hope this helps.
And also, my advice is to not listen to people who talk about Hell and eternal suffering. Those are just ways of controlling people.
my advice would be to try not to worry about it..
i mean if you spend your life worrying about stuff you can't control.. what kind of life is that really?
you can't really do much to prevent death.. i mean you have die eventually..
but yeah..i wouldn't worry so much.. life is to short to spend time worrying about stuff you can't do anything about
Listen Carefully. where is Father of your Grand-father? He's died. and his father also died. Every one died when time is come. No body stay in this world. so why you scared.
Enjoy you life and be happy.
Have a nice day.
My advice would be,picture yourself living forever...nothing can kill you,and you can't die of ANYTHING...picture all the people you love coming and going throughout your life,and you just staying here on planet earth...to me that thought is scary a hell...also think of death,in that when you die is exactly when your supposed to.You're only supposed to accomplish certain things,and if you don't make it to be a movie star (not trying to freak you out!) you were never supposed to live to become one. If you live to get married,but not to have children,that's exactly how it was supposed to be.You were never meant to do the things you didn't accomplish in life...does that make sense?
It is only human to fear death. Religion can ease your fear of death, but if you are not a faithful person then I guess that won't help you. It is impossible for anyone to know what happens for sure but you shouldn't worry about it. Live the life that you have to the best of your ability.
Death is scary because it is the unknown. We are scared of many unknown things, and then when we get to know them, the fear drops away. We all have to get used to the idea that one day we will be gone from the world we know, but our job as humans is to do our very best in this world while we are here. The future will take care of itself.
You might try meditating, just to clear your head.
well i think you might have some anxiety issues but it is true well all die, and nobody can be certain what happens after we die. all that one can do is live life without any regrets and realize that everything happens for a reason. If you do die it's your time to. Hopefully it will be when your old and in your sleep and nothing painful happens but you will die...if this feeling is taking over your life then maybe you have anxiety, my boyfriend thinks about the same thing when he gets panic attacks, he takes medication and the panic attack goes away and life is normal again.

I have a family member that reads the death notices all the time. Do you find that strange?
Answer:
no not really. i had uni placement in a aged care home. and everyday i would have to read the death notices in the paper to one woman, she always knew atleast someone. it was sad more than anything, but it became like a daily ritual for her. She never seemed sad or bothered by it, maybe cos she was old.. death just became more of a reality. But i dont think id be worried bout ur family member.
the what ???? i think that ok
I never read them when I was young, but now as I get older, I check to see if any of my friends have checked out, and sadly they have.
Of course not. It's no different than reading birth announcements, want ads, or the sports page. Plus, the older you get, the more people you are likely to know.
I do, and I look for surnames I know just out of morbid curiousity.
no, sometimes I remember that I used to do that, because many of my friends had died, and I never heard about it until it was too late...so I started reading the obituraries more often..that is all,..so depending on what they're looking for, I don't find it strange
