my mum is 69. Up until 2 months ago she drove her own car, attended day care facilities and took her medication. She was bright and alert and interested in things. I’m her only daughter. She is highly manipulative and i’m attending a psychologist for help in ‘detaching’ as i was feeling suicidal from her constant demands. She used to feel 100% it was my role to leave my partner and my life and ‘look after her’. However 2 months ago i noticed a change. She would stare into space and is full of depression. My dad 70 (wtih heart problems, high blood pressure, atsma, vertigo and diabetes) is her main carer. We thought she wasnt taking her medication and that she needed review as she was depressed and having panic attacks and in a high anxieity state. Dad dealt with her like this for one month until eventually after turning up at A E about 4 times and keeping dad awake all night, she was admitted. However wtih the cutbacks, her psychitarist basically said shes highly manipulaitve and just wants to be in a psychiriatc unit. Now her GP, psychriatic nurse and psychitarst is saying they wont do anything for her and ‘certiainly wont admit her’. My dad is at breaking point and i’m constantly worried, i just cannot get on with my life. They psychiratist is saying the psychriatic unit is ‘not the setting for her’. yet shes severely depressed adn pacing up and down. Shes currently in a private nurshing home this past 4 nights and the owners says that she is extremely agitated and they cannot understand why they wont admit her to the psycriatic unit. Everyone has washed their hands of her and the nursing home feels shes ‘extremely vulnerable’ and ‘desperate’. Shes complaining of sweats and shakes and i feel her medication needs to be looked at. The psychitarist has basically said throw her in a nursing home, but shes too physically fit and young to go there at this stage. She needs proper mental help and have her medication sorted properly.. How can i help?

Author: adminMay 31
im 33wks tommorow and for the past week or so i’ve started being sick again after i eat, it doesnt matter if i eat lettle and often or a slightly bigger meal. I’m not always sick most of the time its after my lunch and dinner but i can normally keep down my breakfast which is weird.
ive also started feeling weird, like im in a bubble if that makes sense, kind of light headed but not really? its really strange, also getting pain at my ribs and the top of my back and been getting sliht headaches on and off for a couple of days but nothing extereme.
does this just sound like the joys of pregnancy or something else? ive had high blood pressure the past few times ive been at the midwife so she sends me to the hospital to get monitered by normally by the time i get to the hospital it has settled down.
I’ve phoned my midwife but she cant see me until next monday ![]()
any help would be brilliant thanks all!

Hi ladies.
I’m 37 weeks tomorrow with my first baby - full term yay!
I’m so excited, everything is ready and i just cant wait to meet this little person and find out if its a boy or a girl!!
I’ve had quite an easy pregnancy, bit of high blood pressure and a few extra midwife appointments because of this but nothing much has come of it luckily
Saw my midwife last week and baby was not engaged yet, see her again tomorrow and hoping s/he has started to now!
Anyone else around the same stage as me? How are you feeling? Its just a waiting game now….xx

Open Question: Am i reading too much into his texts?
Author: adminMay 31
Theres alot going on right now.. I am a single mom of my 11 month old son. And his father is not in the picture anymore. But before i met his father, i had been in a 6-yr relationship with my best friend.. He is in the military now and alot more grown up and rsponsible and still loves me.. Well, i still love him too. Im IN love with him. When we dated he went down hill very often.. His mom and his friend died around the same time and we were in a long distance relationship (which i was fine with, that wasnt the problem) so he just kept goin downhill and he ended up having sex with someone so I broke up with him. From a day after i broke thing up, to four years later, he still talks to me, is still there for me, was there for me all through my pegnancy when my sons father wasnt, and dealt with my crying on the phone when his father would yell at me or wed fight about something stupid.. He was there. And ill NEVER forget that because thats a huge thing.. Well, lately weve grown close again romantically where he tells me everyday that im beautiful and gorgeous and amazing and that he loves being near me and holding me and we are great together.. He said from the day we started dating, 6 years ago that hed marry me one day. And he is really considering it but he is so afraid he will hurt me again that he doesnt know what to do he says. Id have to move myself and my son a few states away to live with him on base until he gets deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan, and who knows how soon that could be but ive always been used to beign away from his physically, but that just made the times we were together BETTER so i can do it, and im alraedy a single mom so its nothing new to me. The only thing thatd change is id be a stay at home mom and wed have a baby soon after we got married… Thats the biggest thing. In order for us to live on base with him, we have to be married. Im ready. Ive thought over everything and i know what i want and what i have ALWAYS wanted because ive never stopped loving him, just never let myself show him cuz for awhile we didnt talk so i felt it was best to bury those feelings of course. And now that theyre back and he is always saying he misses me and loves me and all of that, i am confused.. When we talk about ‘us’, he says he has been putting alot of thought into it and even saying he is overthinking things, such as him thinking he will hrut me again and screw thigns up.. He feels pressured and all that. I am trying so hard NOT to pressure him but my lease is up in March, at my apartment and he can get deployed anytime a month from now.. So time is realy against us if we become an ‘us’ again.. I have thought about things for six years and have always missed him so i know im ready to take the leap with him because we DO work so well but he is so worried he will screw something up.. He loves my son and wants to be his (step) father and is so excited about having a family but taking that first step is really scary for BOTH of us honestly.. I want to comfort him and make sure he knows he wont lose me as a friend, and i have told him that but i feel like im not getting assured of anything i guess.. If we do get together again, this will be the last time and we will get married in a month.. Crazy i know.. But in the military anything can happen so you have to go with the flow whether youre walking or running… So i guess my question after al this is, has anyone loved their best friend for years and years, and been with someone else for a while then went back to their best friend and married them? Haha chances are probably slim that someone can give me advice but i need some support.. None of my friends understand nor does my mom, she married my dad when they were in high school and have been married ever since… Any advice would be greatly appreciated..
SUMMARY: The one im in love with is in the military. We’ve been together 6 years then broken up for two, because he was unfaithful and going downhill after his mom died. I had a serious relationship with my sons father during those years, then we had my son. My ex has always been there since we broke up, always saying how sorry he was. My sons father is a jerk and i shouldve never spent time on him, etc.. My ex wants to be a father figure to my son, 11 months old, and has said for 6 years he will marry me one day if i let him ha.. Well im ready. But he says that now that im ready, it scares him because its such a big decision, to make sure he wont ever hurt me again. I respect that but after saying he wants this, he says he doesnt want to risk it because he doesnt want to lose me. He wont but its not fair to not give us a chance cause he doesnt want to ruin things.. I need him to tell me if he either wants to take that leap with me or just be friends. How can i, without pressuring him?
My thoughts of marriage and a family arent just coming out of thin air. When he was in basic training (they are only allowed to write letters for 6 weeks) he wrote me a letter almost everyday saying he loves me and wishes he could hear my voice.. and he said throughout the day everyday he thinks of us and my son in family scenarios such as when he has to run 12 miles he imagines chasing my son in the park and hearing him laugh.. or when he stands on duty he imagines us going on a picnic and what food wed eat and how id look that day, playing with my son laughing in the grass… He doesnt want to mess things up now that he has another chance. Im not being naive just seeing if i can get any insight on anothers situation at all like this
Open Question: does anyone know if taking ashwagandah will help with hypothyroidism?
Author: adminMay 31
Have a serious thyroid problem. Unfortunatly have no health insurance to go to the Dr. and get the medication to take care of the problem. The meds are cheap and I have no problem paying for that but the actual Dr. visit and Blood test needed cost me about $300 initially and then again 6 weeks later (to check the levels once on meds to see if they need to be increased) This health issue creates several other problems: Serious bloating STROKE LEVEL HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE daily stomach problems etc. - any advice on over the counter?

I don’t even know where to beging these. Any help is appreciated:
9. A solution is prepared by dissolving 1.5 mol of C10H8 (naphthalene) in 1.00 Kg of benzene. The vapor pressure of pure benzene is 94.6 Torr at 25 oC. What is the partial vapor pressure of benzene in solution?
4. By how much is the chemical potential of benzene reduced at 25 oC by a solute that is present at a mole fractions of 0.1?
10. What partial pressure of methane is needed to obtain 21 mg of methane in 100g of benzene at 25 oC?
11. The rise in atmospheric carbon dioxide results in higher concentrations of dissolved carbon dioxide in natural waters. Calculate how many moles of CO2 are dissolved in 1 Kg of water at 25oC when the CO2 partial pressure is 4.0kPa. Consider that Henry’s law constant for the solution of CO2 in water is equal to 1.7 x 105 kPa
18. Estimate the lowering of the freezing point of the solution made by dissolving 3.0 g of sucrose in 100 g of water?
