1. Your mother cannot do that. A person cannot be committed to a mental hospital unless she is dangerous to herself and others as determined by a psychiatrist, not by a relative.
2. You are having intrusive thoughts. There is outpatient treatment for that.
3. Your mother's threats are abusive.
Is there someone else you trust who would support you-- friend, family member, pastor, teacher? When do you turn 18?
i turn 18 on july 18th of this year. my mother is usually a nice person but she seemed angry and sort of exploded on me when i brought it up.

I agree with the above poster about having a physician who could help you with medicines that may balance the chemicals in your brain? You’re definitely not weird!!!! It’s good to be able to ask questions about what you’re going through.
thank you, i think thats the best option too!!! i'll try my best to get one..thank you for being so nice <3

There are medical conditions that cause feelings like that (anxiety or paranoia). It’s not anyone’s fault, just how some people are. A therapist (psychiatrist) can help you work though what exactly is going on, give techniques to help minimize any problems, or help with medicines that may tweak your balance of brain chemicals if there is an imbalance. Do you have medical insurance and can see somebody? Do you have a trusted family member who can help?
thank you for telling me that stuff! we do have medical insurance, but the last time i brought up something that one of my mental illnesses caused to my mother, she told me she was going to send me to the psychiatric hospital.

Have you talked to your parents or anyone about your feelings? A counselor or a therapist might be really helpful.
i used to have a therapist, but i no longer do. i haven't talked to my family because when i told my mother about my intrusive thoughts (caused by my OCD) she threatened to send me to a psych ward.

helloooo. i've suffered from paranoia nearly all of my life. i think the earliest memory i have of it was age 8 or 9. i think every stranger is after me and at school i have to turn the cameras on the computers around. i feel targeted by people who i don't even know. i think the government is always watching me. please don't call me weird for this. i just want some answers or maybe suggestions on what this could be. sometimes i get bouts of paranoia (paranoia attacks??) where i start hyperventilating and have to check my door and my windows and hide under my covers. again, please don't call me weird. i'm a 17 year old female, if that helps. thanks to any of those who answer!

for years now, almost 3 years, ive randomely smelled smoke. my grandma had smoked since i had lived with her (almost 8 years) and ever since she stopped and even toward the end of her doing it i started to smell smoke when she wasnt even around. i'm at my dad's house right now and he smokes. the times i smell smoke has doubled and i can't get rid of the smell. it's made my life hell and i hate it. i don't know what this is or how to stop it. it's caused me to be afraid of breathing through my nose.
EDIT: i want to add that i smell smoke every where i go. i'll smell it in the theater, outside at the pool, in the mall, in class, etc. this isn't just around these two.

hello! this has been happening for as long as i can remember but whenever i get scared/worried i feel my muscles tense up but ESPECIALLY my ears/near my ears? and my stomach tumbles of course but i think that's normal. anyway, after all my muscles have relaxed and sometimes while my muscles are tensed my ears start to ring? i have no clue why. like i said, it's been happening forever but i always thought it was normal until a couple of my friends told me that never happened to them. anyone know what it could be? some say it's anxiety but i'd like some more opinions, please.

Well, I am just this minute washing the jeans that got white primer on them, and I put a boatload of OxyClean on them. I'll let you know how it works out. :0/
i hope that worked well for you! i got mine out with rubbing alcohol and a quick wash afterward!
-
Once it is dry it is permanent.
If you wash it with dish detergent when the paint is still wet you can get it out.
If it just on the surface and not rubbed in/smeared it will sometimes flake off when dry.
it turns out that rubbing alchohol works wonders! it was just on the surface, luckily. thanks! <3

hello! at school this mornin' i got red and white acrylic paint on my clothes. anyone have any tips for how to get it out? it'd help a lot. thanks!

Good luck! You're doing the right thing by seeing the nurse. It's probably nothing serious, but it's definitely unusual, so it's better to be safe than sorry!
Let us know what you find out, if you get a chance. :)
i just came back! the nurse was absent today of all days- but i did call my mom, who was a nurse for 20+ years. she said it could last for awhile and that's it's probably a nerve that's causing it. she wants to take a look at it so she's picking me up at 12:10.
thanks so much for your advice! you've helped a lot <3

If you're in a class, go to the nurse's office right after class and explain what's going on. You should also text your parents.
You really should get this checked out, and since it's Friday, if you wait until 5:00 to tell your parents, you may not be able to see a doctor until next week.
alright- i'll go to the nurse's office right after i'm done with my work in this class-the teacher is pretty laid back, i'm sure he'll let me go now. i would, but my mom works night shifts so she's sleeping and my grandmother is at work.
understood! thank you so, so much!

It's time for you to talk to one or both of your parents about this.
i'm in class right now. i get home about about 5:00. i'll talk to them about it as soon as i get home. thank you!
-
You need to seek medical attention. This could be a problem with your nerve.
yikes. i guess it makes sense that there would be- i slept on it for 6 hours. thanks for the advice!

hellllloooo! my wrist/hand has been asleep all morning and all i can conclude is that i slept on it. it's constant and i've tried pinching it, shaking it, moving it, etc and it still won't wake up. it really hasn't woken up at all since i woke up at 6:20. it's 10:16. anyone know how long this'll last? thanks to anyone that answers!

hello! i asked something on the board yesterday but i've got a question thats been swirling in my head for awhile. i know that before you work your way up to being a detective you have to work as a cop first. i've heard some people say that is takes 3 years and i've heard some people say more or less. i just wanted to know if there's anyway i can shorten my years of working as a cop. i have basically no interest in working as one. does anyone know how? thank you!

Once you've got this arm thing figured out (and it sounds like a not-big-deal, but please tell whoever is responsible for you and then stop lifting weights until it's completely better), you might want to look into a few books from the library on weight lifting. No one, and I mean no one, is going to recommend doing 100 reps of any type of weighted exercise. And while curls are primarily biceps, any exercise that requires gripping an object is going to work your forearms.
Best of luck, and in future, forums are probably not your best place for medical aid. See a doctor or school nurse.
thanks for the advice <3

Where did you learn that arm curls doesn't effect your forearms? When you bend the arm, muscles attached to the upper arm (humerous) and the forearm (ulna and radius) contract to bend the arm. Therefore your forearm has be be involved in this movement. In addition, if you are holding weights, muscles running across the wrist joint are stabilizing that joint in order to hold the weight.
Some muscles involved in arm curls run across 2 joints (from shoulder to elbow, or from elbow to wrist).
I would recommend that you speak to a trainer to ensure that your posture, weight size, and form are correct so that you don't cause more pain and damage. To suddenly start doing 100 arm curls a day, without building up the muscles gradually, and with potentially poor form, may result in over-use injuries.
i've been doing a daily set of arm curls for almost a year now and i've started to do 100 a month or two ago. i took a break for about 2 weeks, and started again. this pain doesn't usually happen is all that i'm saying. i heard it from my mom, but she isn't a trainer, so..
thanks for the advice! i'll ask someone in that field soon.

You can always ask your doctor for a simple heart enzyme blood test if you're still worried. Cheap and easy. And definitive.
thank you! i'll ask if i can go to the doctor soon.

How old are you? I'm picturing you as a teen boy? If you are, you need to tell your mother or guardian.
i'm a teen girl. 16, almost 17.

BTW, most exercises use multiple muscle groups. And if you're not careful with form and working up gradually to greater weights and intensities, you can definitely injure some things.
My dh has been dealing with tendonitis for over a year.
i guess i should've considered that. a whole year?? woah. that sounds pretty bad.
-
I cannot diagnose you, but the pain sounds almost exactly like tendonitis that I get from doing any kind of arm curls. One hundred arm curls per day is a lot of arm curls, especially if you just started doing them again recently.
If you are worried about your heart, then you need to see a doctor.
i'm glad to hear another person say it may be tendonitis. that's a relief. i'll try and see if i can convince my guardians to bring me. thank you <33333
-
tendonitis would be my first guess.
i really hope you're right. thank you for an answer so quickly <33
incredibly paranoid all the time. why?
