What happens when you overdose on Adderall?
I just took 5 Adderall at once. I don't remember if the dosage was 5mg or 15mg. It was a very low dosage regardless, but I'm wondering if this can still have bad side effects? What are the side effects of an Adderall overdose?
2 AnswersMental Health4 years agoI dyed my hair and I hate it! How can I go back to bleach blonde fast?
The other day I colored my bleach blonde hair with semi-permanent rose pink dye. However, the color it turned out to be was hot pink. So now I'm wondering how I can go back to my bleach blonde. How long will it take before the pink washes out? Will it ever go back to the bleach blonde? Is there any way I can remove the dye?
2 AnswersHair4 years agoWhat are my chances of getting emancipated at 16?
I'm 15 and I'm currently living with my grandparents and my mom because my dad is abusive. The thing is, my mom won't divorce my dad because she's scared of him, and she's talking about going back to him. I've been through a lot of abuse and trauma in my life and the only way I can get over it is if I'm away from my parents. However, I'm worried I won't be able to get emancipated because I have a history of mental illnesses, like depression, anxiety, self-harm, and PTSD. I also attempted suicide in July so I wouldn't have to go back to my dad. All that stuff is in the past now, though, and I'm on medication and in therapy. So my question is, is it possible I could get emancipated as long as I have a stable job and a place to live?

4 AnswersLaw & Ethics4 years agoIs it likely that I could get emancipated when I turn 16?
I'm going to spare you the backstory and only list the important details. I'm a 15-year-old girl and me, my mom and my 12-year-old sister are currently living with my grandparents in Missouri because my dad (who lives in Florida with my 17-year-old brother) is mentally, verbally and sometimes physically abusive. Also, because I have several mental disorders (including severe depression and anxiety, psychosis, bipolar disorder, and PTSD from childhood sexual abuse which I never told anyone about and also abuse inflicted by my dad) and a history of self-harm and suicide attempts (my most recent attempt was in July), and my dad was only making things worse. The thing is, my mom won't divorce my dad, 1) because she's scared of him, and 2) because if they divorced, my dad would have joint custody over me and my sister. And she's considering going back to him because my grandparents don't want us to stay with them for much longer and we don't have any money for an apartment. Moral of the story: I'm stuck. I considered running away, but I can't leave my sister. So now I'm considering emancipation. My question is, as long as I find a stable job and a place to live, is it likely that I could get emancipated from my parents when I turn 16? Also, is it possible that if I run away and I get caught I could be placed in foster care?
3 AnswersMental Health4 years agoIs it normal to lose weight after getting off meds for anxiety and depression?
I recently stopped taking my meds for anxiety, depression, psychosis, and insomnia, and since then I've noticed a significant weight drop of about 10 pounds. I'm not sure what meds I was on for the other stuff, but I know I was on Zoloft for my depression. Is it possible that this drop in my weight is due to me being off my meds?
3 AnswersMental Health4 years agoHow long does it take for self-harm scars to fade?
I've struggled with self-harm since I was 10, and now that I'm 15 I'm trying to turn my life around. However, my legs and arms are covered in burns and scars that range from little, white indents to thick, red bumps, and I have extremely pale skin, so all the marks stand out and I look like a freak show. It's hard to move on when you can't even walk down the street without being stared at and judged. I know my scars will never completely fade, but I'm wondering how long it will take for them to lighten.
3 AnswersMental Health5 years agoIs psychosis curable?
I'm 15 and I was recently diagnosed with psychosis. I've struggled with hallucinations and hearing voices since I was 7, but I was never on medication for it until a few months ago. My question is whether or not psychosis is a curable illness? If I find the right balance of my meds is it possible that i could age out of my psychosis?
7 AnswersMental Health5 years agoIs this considered abuse?
When I was younger I would cry myself to sleep every night listening to my parents argue from their bedroom. My dad would yell and scream and even throw things whenever someone talked back to him or pissed him off. There was one time where he and my mom were arguing and he got so upset he smashed our radio and my mom told me to call the police. It was so confusing because he always wanted us to eat meals together as a family and he would act like everything was ok afterward. I thought things would eventually get better.
But two years ago we moved to Florida and things have only gotten worse. My parents can't go a hour without arguing—they don't even sleep in the same room. Every time my dad leaves, my mom talks sh!t about him and says how much she hates him, but she won't leave him. My dad is constantly calling her names (b*tch, idiot, etc.) and saying how he wishes she would just f*ck off. There have been a few times where he's gotten physically violent and grabbed my arm and thrown me to the floor. I'm scared to be alone with him. I hardly eat because I can't stand to be around him. He recently made me rake leaves in a hundred degree weather for six hours. And the other night I ran away because I thought he was going to hit me.
He's convinced me that everything is my fault, and my mom doesn't do sh!t when he gets like this. I'm scared I'm going to kill myself because there's no other way to get away from him.
Is this abuse? What should I do?
4 AnswersMental Health5 years agoCould I be hospitalized for cutting?
My arms and legs are covered in cuts and scars and I constantly think about suicide. Because the extent of my self-harm is so severe, I'm terrified that someone will catch me in the act and throw me in a psych ward. I'm 14, so I'm a minor. What would happen if someone found out?

5 AnswersMental Health5 years agoHow do I stop myself from committing suicide?
I've been thinking about it since the begging of 2015, but it's never been this real. I am seriously scared that I'm going to kill myself. There's a part of me that wants to live, but an even bigger part that doesn't. The part of me that doesn't want to live is stopping me from asking my friends and family for help. I've tried so hard to distract myself from thinking about suicide. I know it's not the answer to solving all my problems, but I can't get the thought out of my head. I stopped eating and started cutting again just to focus my attention on something else, but nothing has worked. At this point, my suicide seems inevitable. My brain is scheming about my death without my consent. I sorted through all my belongings so my parents won't have to. I wrote a series of letters for my friends and family titled "My Final Goodbyes" and hid them where they won't be found until after my death. I have everything planned out to the second, and I'm scared I'm going to act on that plan. So many people have it worse than I do, I know. But I'm weak, and broken, and just not equipped to handle this pain anymore. Sorry it's so long. Thank you for reading.
And please don't report this question. I'm just looking for some answers.
8 AnswersMental Health5 years agoWhy do I feel dizzy when I stand up?
Whenever I stand up I get really dizzy and feel like I'm going to pass out. I know it's common to experience a head rush when you stand up after sitting for a long period of time. But I'll sit down for five minutes and still feel lightheaded when I stand. My vision blacks out, I get really dizzy, and sometimes I lose my balance and fall to the floor. Why is this happening? I know this can happen when you're underweight, but I don't think I am. I'm 5'6" and 110lbs. I'm a 14 year old girl, by the way.
3 AnswersOther - General Health Care5 years agoShould I admit myself to a psychiatric ward?
I've been thinking about killing myself 24/7 for the past year. I've been cutting myself since I was 10 (I'm 14 now). I don't sleep or eat. I'm scared of being on bridges and walking next to roads because there's a voice in my head who tells me to jump off or to walk into traffic. There's something wrong with my head and it's only getting worse. I've started cutting deeper, and the other day I bought a bunch of Benadryl so that I could go to sleep and never wake up. I'm scared I'm going to do something bad. I haven't told anyone what's been going on because I'm terrified they'll send me to a psych ward, and I've heard they're horrible. But I really don't know what else to do.
8 AnswersMental Health5 years agoIs 110lbs a healthy weight for a girl who's 5'6"?
A healthy BMI is anywhere from 18.5 to 24.9. I have a BMI of 17.8, but I don't think I'm underweight. Am I?

6 AnswersMental Health5 years agoIf I overdose on Benadryl will I just fall asleep?
If I took around 100 Benadryl would I just slowly drift off and never wake up? Would I feel tired immediately or over the spand of a few hours or minutes? Would it be painful? I've heard it depends on your height and weight, so I'm 5'6" and 110lbs.

I took six Jet Alert caffeine pills that were 200mg each. I know it was stupid, but I couldn't throw them up. What's going to happen to me? Will I collapse? I don't know if my height/weight has anything to do with it, but I'm 5'6" and 110lbs.
