  • HELP! my cat won't stop eating all things paper!?

    She eats magazines, books, toilet paper, boxes, my shopping list! She is an indoor cat, that's up to date with innoculations, worming and flea treatment. She has many "ball" like toys that go missing under sofas, and she has stolen all my make up and half my pens due to batting them when I'm not looking. She also has a scratching post but I'm guessing she's bored, firstly does anyone have any ideas for helping me solve her boredom? I play with her whenever she wants as I'm a sick person she is my company. I'm planning on getting a laser pen for christmas for her, any other ideas? Also do you think there might be any other reason for her eating all my paper? Thanks very much to anyone who replies.

  • Any ideas for ways to enjoy life with the illnesses I have / a career?

    Hiya, I'm 26 I've worked as admin most of my life but I've been off sick for 6 years, these are my illnesses. Anxiety, depression, eating disorder, sleeping disorders, 3 types of migraines, social disorders, sciatica(which makes it difficult to bend), lypmhadema (which makes it difficult to stand and walk). I am very fed up at the moment. I sit in my house on my pc, that's about it apart from appointments and food shopping. I wanted to be a criminal psyhcologist or therapist but struggle too much myself now to persue this. I had to quit college because of my back and head, my migraines sometimes get so bad I go dizzy and can't stand light or noise. I don't want to be stuck in my house for the rest of my life! I want to be productive and contribute to society. I've asked for help but its difficult because some people can't see me due to other medical issues. Point is I'm trying to get the help and need ides of careers and hobbies I could persue. Thank you

  • Home remedies for Lymphadema?

    I'm a 26 year old female and I'm waiting for tests as to why I have this. I am too young for water tablets so the only thing my doctor has said is "put your feet up and take paracetamol" easy enough for them to say but atm I'm living with agony in my legs, swelling, pins and needles in both legs and my right arm. I'm a size 7 UK shoe and atm I'm wearing size 9 that's how swollen I am!!! If you have experienced adema or have any advice that will help I would REALLY appreciate your wisdom. I feel like my 85 year old nan not a 26 year old woman. Thank you. P.S yes I'm wearing the sexy flight stockings

  • I really need some advice, should I report my neighbour to social services? Please read.?

    My neighbour has a 2 ish year old son and here are the things that concern me, her boyfriend smokes weed in the back yard, I'm pretty sure that around 10pm up until sometimes about 12am she goes out somewhere and her son is not with her... I think she puts him to bed then leaves the house! I've heard her and her bf shouting shut the f up to her son when he's crying, I overheard a conversation that her dad (the babys granddad) is not supposed to come near her son but he frequently comes to her house. I know she has a social worker so there must already be some concerns. Her back yard has dog poo all over it, I had to report her and get all her bins taken away because she wasn't getting them emptied. Do you think I have grounds enough to contact social services, I don't want to be labelled a meddler but I'm worried about her son.

  • I need help telling my auntie I am not doing it anymore/saying no!?

    Please read all though its long. My auntie and uncle keeps going on holiday and telling me to look after their old dog who gets more ill every time I have him. I have a very soft demeanor and I am currently off work due to anxiety/depression/sciatica/migraines/i have a auto immune defficiency so I get sick a lot. She knows I'm too kind to say no so she doesn't even ask she just tells me when she is going and when I need to look after him from. She lives in the same street as me so its convenient for her. I don't like dogs and I struggle walking most days AND I'm not very good with the whole picking up poo thing (it makes me feel sick) everytime she goes away he gets more ill. Like atm I have him for 2 weeks and he is doing liquid poo all over the kitchen floor even though I walk him 3 times a day. I have a kidney infection/uti atm so I'm feeling pretty rough and it got to the point today where when he did.a poo when I walked him I actually vomited when I bent down to bag it. They don't leave me with any money for the vets and when I tell them he's ill they always say "oh he must of licked some ***** piss he will be fine". I don't want to do this anymore!!! Before she went away this time her and my uncle were already talking about a week in september for their next holiday. Please help me! They know just what to do and say to make me feel like I have to do this. I'm not being un reasonable to not want this anymore am I? Helppp!
