Dude, if she's really your friend, you'll get her checked in RIGHT NOW!!!! Meth kills, and it has a freakin 22% recovery rate!!!

It is withdrawl. I had to stop drinking at times and the body goes through some funny changes. My advice is to tell her to get active, start working out and drink water like crazy.

Don't worry about her. Check up on her every now and then, but alcoholism is a really strong addiction. She will have to hit rock bottom before she deals with it.

There's very little, if anything, that you can do to help her. She needs to see an eating disorder specialist. It's a problem in her head. There could be any number of reasons why she thinks the ethiopian look is pretty, but it boils down to it's self harm. The one thing you CAN do is educate her about cocaine and discourage her from becoming a hooker for her next fix. Not everyone gets addicted to cocaine, but she is undoubtably going to be predisposed to addicition since she already has some serious issues.

Flip the script on her...tell her you are going to kill yourself. Or like everyone else is saying she needs to go to the hospital. On a personal note...I tried to kill myself almost a year a ago. If I was not drunk I probably wouldn't have hurt myself so deeply but I cut my wrist and cut nerves, arteries, etc. I had to have surgery. The medical bills alone is enough to realize ok that was dumb. I almost lost my hand and I only have partial use of my pinky because I cut the Ulnar nerve. What I realized through all of this is I didn't want to die, I just wanted things to get better and they do I promise! I seeked help, got on medication (which I was initially against) but it helped. People love you and you will only leave them in complete and utter pain if you took your own life. (This is to relay to your friend) You only have one life that you know about...so just make the best of it because your time will come. We don't come with a re-do button but we have a chance to make our lives better. Just think if you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up. I wish you all the luck, and love! Take Care.

Some signs of meth abuse are not sleeping, mode swings (sometimes violent), paranoia, and increased energy.  I am a recovering addict and although meth was not my drug of choice, I have know many people on it and I have seen many lives destroyed by it.  It is by far the worst drug I have ever seen in that the person is never the same after use as before, and the longer they are on it, the more serious the long term effects can be.  If you really think he has a problem with it and he is under 18, I suggest talking to your parents to try and get him some help.  If over 18, he still needs help, but your parents and no one else will have the right to force him to get help.  In this case, I suggest prayer and a long talk with him.  I have never seen a drug that works so profoundly on the nervous system.  I will pray for you and your brother and wish you both luck.

Make some calls to find a nearby facility where she can get help.  As much as you love your friend, she needs PROFESSIONAL help. She probably has to be checked into some kind of hospital where they can help her gain weight and teach her how to eat properly.  Eating disorders are about control, not about food.  She needs therapy.  You can help her find that therapy and be there for her when she comes home.  Stay her friend no matter what, even if she gets mad at you. Someday she will thank you for your support.

Women's shelters, friends, AA, family members, church help, etc.\n\nTake her somewhere & tell her it is only because you CARE that you want to help her.\n\nDon't make her feel like you are judging her about drinking but print off some info on the Internet for her about what it does to your liver, your skin, etc. Get her interested in activities with her kids in the evening so she can't drink so much. Just sit down and talk to her, calmly, with a  compassionate heart and all the caring & love in the world. It won't be easy but it is a start. Good luck!

Subject: Beware of diet soft drinks  \nDiet Softdrink is doing it...\n \n \nPlease read this! It may help you or someone you know.\n\nIn October of 2001, my sister started getting very sick. She had stomach spasms and she was having a hard time getting around. Walking was a major chore. It took everything she had just to get out\nof bed; she was in so much pain.\n\nBy March 2002, she had undergone several tissue and muscle biopsies and was on 24 various prescription medications. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with her. She was in so much pain, and so sick...she just knew she was dying.\n\nShe put her house, bank accounts, life insurance, etc., in her oldest daughters name, and made sure that her younger children were to be taken care of.. She also wanted her last hooray, so she planned a trip to FL (basically in a wheelchair) for March 22nd.\n\nOn March 19th I called her to ask how her most recent tests went, and she said they didn't find anything on the test, but they believe she had MS. (Multiple Sclerosis)\n\nI recalled an article a friend of mine E-mailed to me and I asked my sister if she drank diet soda? She told me that she did. As a matter of fact, she was getting ready to crack one open that moment... I told her not to open it, and to stop drinking the diet soda !!! I E-mailed her the article my friend, a lawyer, had sent.\n\nMy sister called me within 32 hours after our phone conversation and told me she had stopped drinking the diet soda AND she could walk!!!! The muscle spasms went away. She said she didn't feel 100% but she sure felt a lot better. She told me she was going to her doctor with this article and would call me when she got home.\n\nWell, she called me, and said her doctor was amazed! He is going to call all of his MS patients to find out if they consumed artificial sweeteners of any kind...\nIn a nutshell, she was being poisoned by the Aspartame in the diet soda... and literally dying a slow and miserable death.\nWhen she got to FL March 22nd, all she had to take was one pill, and that was a pill for the Aspartame poisoning! She is well on her way to a complete recovery . and she is walking!!! No wheelchair!!!\n \nThis article saved her life.\n\nIf it says "SUGAR FREE" on the label, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!\n\nI have spent several days lecturing at the WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL CONFERENCE on "ASPARTAME," marketed as 'NutraSweet,' 'Equal,' and 'Spoonful.'\nIn the keynote address by the EPA, it was announced that in the United Statesin 2001 there is an epidemic of multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. It was difficult to determine exactly what toxin was causing this to be rampant.\n\nI stood up and said that I was there to lecture on exactly that subject. I will explain why Aspartame is so dangerous: When the temperature of this sweetener exceeds 86 degrees F, the wood alcohol in ASPARTAME converts to formaldehyde and then to formic acid, which in turn causes metabolic acidosis. Formic acid is the poison found in the sting of fire ants. The methanol toxicity mimics, among other conditions, multiple sclerosis and systemic lupus. Many people were being diagnosed in error. Although multiple sclerosis is not a death sentence..., methanol toxicity is!\n\nSystemic lupus has become almost as rampant as multiple sclerosis, especially with Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi drinkers. The victim usually does not know that the Aspartame is the culprit. He or she continues its use; irritating the lupus to such a degree that it may become a life-threatening condition.. We have seen patients with systemic lupus become asymptotic, once taken off diet sodas.\n\nIn cases of those diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, (when in reality, the disease is methanol toxicity), most of the symptoms disappear. We've seen many cases where vision loss returned and hearing loss improved markedly.\n\nThis also applies to cases of tinnitus and fibromyalgia.\n\nDuring a lecture,

I would call crisis intervention if there is a listing around your area. If not, look up suicide hotlines and ask for advice. I hope your friend is okay at this moment. The best thing you can do for her is to be there.

I am bipolar who mainly has manic episodes and I am going to make this short and to the point. There is nothing that you yourself can do for her. If she is refusing to take her meds and is becoming violent, the best thing you can do for the safety of ALL involved is to call your local Mental Health Hospital or Clinic and have her committed. They will take care of her by putting her on the medication she needs and giving her the therepy she needs. I've been in a hospital before and it really isn't that bad. They look after you 24/7, they feed you, they keep your room clean, they monitor you, they make sure you have your meds on time, and the doctor comes in to see you on a regular basis for therepy sessions. Trust me, if you care about her, that is the course you will need to take, for her sake, and the sake of all involved.

This isnn't really the place to answer this. If you think it's serious get her to the docs or emergency room. \n\nHowever, my daughter does exactly the same thing. We took her to the doctors and basically they said don't worry. My daughter will stop doing it for a while and then sometimes restart. It seems to be maybe stress related but in her case it's been no great shakes. She got it about sge 11 and is now 14 and eventually you just kinda stop seeing her doing it. I'm sure the doctor gave it a name at the time, but I've forgotten it. It doesn't seem to bother her so we're cool with it, although like you it bothered us at the start.

Support your friend.  The next few months are going to be hard, but if you really do care, stand by your buddy.  Let him know that you are prepared to help, but he needs to be serious about his sobriety, and if he's not, you can't do anything for him.  Lay down a clear cut set of rules and guidelines to help him.  Good luck.  Hope that helps.

I hate to this, but you need to get back on your meds. I know it sucks, I know you might have some unpleasant side effects, but the hassles involved with the meds are better than the hassles stemming from the illness. I had a  roomate that had some of the same symptoms. His meds made him shake. So he would get off his meds and would deteriorate radiply. Your still young, I want you to remember this, with your condition, you are susceptible to alcoholism and drug addiction. I don't want you to find out the hard way and dig yourself a huge hole that will be hard to get out of. Please talk to someone close to you that can help. I'm changing my profile to allow you to email me for 48 hours if I can help further. i wish you the best.

Don't worry about telling the doctors what happened. They won't tell the police or others.\n\nJust go quick before she gets worse.

How about telling a "older friend" like a calm parent or teacher. Sound like the usual thing an adult would say but she does need help. She IS an alcoholic! Sleeping with a guy and not remembering it is called a black out. That is an alcoholic thing! Talk to her, be prepared for all the excuses. You will eventually lose her as a friend. lying is not far behind what she is doing. She won't remember what she has done so she will laugh it off or say "I did not do that" Someone older has got to help you for your friends sake! DO NOT let her suck you into her world of drinking. Sometimes drugs are not far behind. Be strong and tell someone, she needs HELP!
