Ok. So my mom is really sick & she has been for the past 2 years becuz of toxic mold. Well Im 12 years old & these past few years have been sooo hard. But she’s on these meds called predizone & it made her gain a lot of wight. She was like 115 & now she’s like almost 200 pounds!! But my question is….. why is she punnishing me constantly?? My friend told me that she should stop spanking me & punnishing me but she hasnt. I’ve tried to put up with it & deal with her cuz I know she is goin through a hard time too. But I just dont know what to do anymore. And Im also going through puberty too & I didnt even have the talk with my mom about sex… my sister who is only a year 1/2 older then me talked with me!!! So yea I am going through a really hard time. And I think that this is all just mood swings but my mom wont get a clue & talk with me for once! I asked my sister & she thinks its moods too! What do you think?? Please help me! Give me the best advice you have!!! Thank you soo much!=]

After 2 years of my girlfriends occasional outbursts and over reactions to almost everything that can be potentially harmful but definitely not positively harmful to ones self….I think I have discovered that she is a hypochondriac.I haven’t come straight out and mentioned my assumption as of yet because I am not absolutely sure cuz she also suffers from fibromyalgia (supposedly) and low immune system or difficiency of (again supposedly) .It has gotten so out of hand that she is staying at a friends house cuz she thinks there is toxic mold everywhere on our 4-plex property and that shes dying etc. I want her to see a therepist and she said she would but doesn’t get around to it and then all we do is fight.Can someone relate at all and give me some input please …….? I’m losing grip on my own sanity due to all this.thanx

How can I help this terrifying symptom?

Without going into too much detail, last year I had what could be labeled as a “nervous breakdown” from this unreal feeling I had. I was constantly spaced out and felt like I was in another world 24/7. I had a CT scan, various blood tests, appointment with a natural doctor and almost every other work-up possible, but people have just told me that it was anxiety-related and that I needed to just calm down and I would start to feel myself again. Well, it’s almost one year later, and although I’ve been without anxiety for many months within the past year, the spaced-out feeling has never completely left.

I don’t want to be doomed to having this for the rest of my life, because I truly cannot function when I’m not completely “there” to experience pleasure and to share time with my friends, boyfriend, family, pets etc. I feel so empty like this, and am DESPERATE for any advice that can alleviate this. By the way, I’m well aware of Depersonalization Disorder and I know I’m a likely candidate, but I’m not going to give in to that title and quit looking for a deeper solution.

Also, I live in a very old building and have started to wonder if I may have been exposed to toxic mold. Please don’t scare me but if this sounds possible please elaborate.

Symptoms: brain fog, feeling as if I’m in a dream, floating sensation while walking, strange feelings in head, sensitivity to light and harsh sound, irrational fears, depression and anxiety, lethargy, sensitivity to caffeine and alcohol, flashbacks to childhood, dizziness, fatigue, numbness in limbs, feeling like there’s a “mental block” keeping me from seeing reality..

Thanks everyone, and sorry for sounding like a downer. I promise I’m very positive in my everyday life.
Beth M, thanks for your positivity.. I’m actually in a very sound place right now religiously, which does help. I just want to stop the physical aspects of this, you know?
sciteach, thank you for answering. :) would it be possible for you to contact me?
