Question by bugaboo: How do you live with someone suffering from chronic pain?
My husband has been suffering from chronic pain for the past few years. It can be very depressing to be around. The pain has become a third person in our marriage. He has taken antidepressants but they have sexual side efects. A lot of times I feel like he’s mad at me but he isn’t. It’s just the pain consuming his life. The kids think he’s always in a bad mood. I asked him how he was this morning and he snapped at me asking “how does it look like I feel??”

I understand the “in sickness and in health” part, but at some point do I start to feel resentment for not being happy as well?

Question by Liza Shevchuk: Natural Remedies For Brain Damage After Drug Abuse?
My older brother has done many drugs from about 16-21. Its been a year since his last use, and he’s been having some serious problems. He has high anxiety and he’s been having frequent episodes of “weird” (as he calls it) feelings. He doesn’t label it as feeling sick. During these episodes he feels jittery, emotional (even cry’s sometimes) out of control, his heart rate goes up. This also causes him to have insomnia. Maybe they’re panic attacks, but the thing is, what triggers it? This occurs randomly on a normal day. We believe its typical withdrawal symptoms, because he abused quite a few drugs. (Marijuana, cigarettes, ecstasy, crystal meth, shrooms, hookah, cocaine, inhalants, “uppers” (as he calls them))
He has gone to see his doctor several times to get treatment, and his doctor said he has migraines.
-____-
He prescribed him anti depressants and that didn’t help my brother AT ALL.
He does this herbal drop treatment (echinacea, other oils, etc) That help him sleep.
Now we’re trying to find him herbal remedies that would help repair his brain damage from all of the abuse he has done to it.
Thank you very much.

Answer by Idontknow
Just whatever you do, don’t focus on mental disorders. Teens are confused enough that many of them are going to go off thinking they’re bipolar or some crazy thing when in reality only a small percentage of the teenage population is actually mentally ill. Focus on mental health. Perhaps make them do some sort of stupid skit or some crap that high school teachers love to do. Basically though, most teens are not going to find your class either interesting or worth while.
