Archive for the “Alcohol Counseling” Category

like i said i have been taking prozac for around a week now on my 3rd or 4th day i decided to drink alcohol i drank 8 cans of stella.
i love my girlfriend completely and have been anxiety issues with her trust because of a situation where a guy had shown interest in her. i know that these feelings were in my head so i consulted my dr who referred me to counseling and per-scribed fluoxitine.
on the specific night in question i had confronted the guy asking him to back off because he was making me feel uncomfortable with the situation and i didn’t really get what i was looking for from him.
later that night i drank and without any meaning i found myself flirting with a woman from work by text msg. i know that i never had the intention of doing anything there but i still did it and i cant explain to myself why.
could the fact i was taking prozac in any way made me act irrationally? could the fact that i mixed my SSRI with alcohol caused me to act in a way i normally wouldn’t? and could it be possible that i was just being selfish because i was feeling down about the situation with this other guy?
i know in my head that i had no intention my words i just want to understand why

My husband of nine years completely flipped out on me today. I was in town, and told him I would be about an hour, I was with my older brother and younger sister and niece and nephews. Well after an hour he called and asked why I was still there. I told him I was just hanging out, and he said ” I thought you were just gonna be gone a little while”? Well i told him I would leave in about an hour cause I had to go to the store still. So he hung up on me. After an hour he called back and I told him i was getting the stuff he asked me to get at the store. When I get home I tried talking to him and he starts yelling at me so loud our two kids open the bedroom door to see what happened. I told them to go back out and he is putting on his shoes and everything, tells me he wants me out, he will call the police, grabs my keys and takes my car keys of my set. When I do finally get them back, I happened to find them an hour later, i went outside and he took all my cds and smashed them. So i took his keys, I shouldnt have, and when he asked for them I told him its not cool is it? You tried so hard to be in control of the car and when I couldnt leave you dont like it. My kids were both there I told them to go to their rooms, and he started yelling again before they left. I told him to calm down, he was scaring them, he called me a b*tch, and all kinds of other names and said I hope you die. He will not talk to me now, I dont know what to do and I am so frustrated because I dont know how to fix it. Hes been to rehab before for alcohol but I know hes not drinking and I dont think hes doing drugs. Any help??? I want to go to counseling but he wont go.
I dont think he is even considering cheating, I mean we have been together for so long. I have two kids, yeah I am a stay at home mom, but this is a very small town so if he even though I would think he would even accuse me of it before he got so mad. I know he will never be physical with me in a bad way its not his nature. we have been together 11 years so I am sure of that. But its just trying to figure out how to fix it.
Ok, he has never done this to me before, this is all new to me. After 9 years I will not leave him because he scared me by yelling. I am trying to find a way to fix it.
he went to rehab through a clinic, said we would go to counseling after he got out, he didnt like his counselor there, but he always had a reason why not to go. now he just wont go. as for alone time or anything I doubt that is it because he just made a point of telling me weeks before that he wants to go when he wants to go. I know he has problems with dealing with stress, we both do, i have epilepsy. he takes a couple prescriptions for them but I dont know if he is now taking them or not. He just doesnt tell me
We have never mesed around on each other or been in this situation before.

Long story condensed as much as possible:
person A and B – best friends- and both my friends
we’re all 18 and in the last month in school before the big final exams.
they’re the type of friends that spend too much time together, and argue over silly things.
A’s girlfriend is a serial cheater.
Last monday B tries to tell A that his girlfriend cheats on him.
A loses temper and takes it out on B
Physical fight ensues. It’s broken up.
When questioned about the fight B says ” Sorry, we were just messing”
A however, doesn’t want to get in trouble and invents a story about how A is bulling him. and this was simply the last straw.
A also says B has alcohol and drug problems ( all complete lies )
so then A gets off scott free ( even through he started the fight)
B however has been suspended indefinitely, must go to AA and counseling, as well as anger management before getting back to school.
with only a few weeks until final exam B’s final results will be hurt badly as he has several projects to finish that carry huge marks
( worth from 20% – 60% in 4 of 7 subjects)
A will not retract the spur of the moment lie for fear of reprisal…
B cannot do the counseling any faster than he is already doing it.
It looks like B will miss most of the last month of school.
What can I do to help?? I feel responsible because i was the one who told B ” you have to tell A if his girlfriend is cheating..”
I wrote a letter to the principle explaining my perspective and how B is not a bully, but that didn’t help, he didn’t believe me.
Anyone have any ideas?? I feel like i need to do something ’cause A is unwilling to take any blame, and B cannot help himself, anything he says just gets him in more trouble. Any suggestions you have at all would help… I feel like i’ve thought about it too much to think of any new solutions.
TL:DR: two friends fight, one says the other is a bully to get out of trouble. Now he will miss a lot of school and fail his exams. Help??

The subject is a straight A student and Freshman in public high school and a speed-reader who shuns television in favor of reading books which she does avidly. She is normally mild mannered, considerate, polite, kind to the underprivledged, and charming to those who know her. In her home environment, however, she has a very aggressive, foul-mouthed older sister (age 19) who is into pot and alcohol and who performed in the lower 25% of her class and was given to highly disrespectful behavior. The subject also has a mother who is prone to hitting, hair pulling, screaming and uncontrolled outbursts of profanity. In this environment, the subject is sometimes drawn in when attacked and will resort to profanity and yelling back in an effort to defend herself.
The mother also has a paramour of over 5 years who is head of their shared household but with no custodial rights over the subject or desire to take on responsibility for any of the 3 children under his roof, given that he has 3 of his own out of state from a previous marriage.
Based on prolonged complaining by the paramour and a recent episode where all parties engaged in yelling and profanity, the mother has decided the problem must be with the mild-mannered 14 year old with straight A’s since she and the eldest daughter were never able to perform at that level in school. So the mother is PULLING the subject OUT OF SCHOOL for an intensive 2-week psychiatric outpatient program (6 hours per day) at a critical time academically, right before semester finals. The subject is willing to submit to evaluation and counseling but wants to do so at a better time so she can focus instead on making good grades in her finals in hopes of maintaining a high GPA that will put her in better stead for a college scholarship.
The subject in no way is a danger to herself or others and there is no psychological crisis going on at the moment. But in an effort to justify her decision to take radical action at this time, the mother is now painting her daughter as having “serious psychiatric problems” — which prior to the latest meltdown where the mother attacked and beat the subject in an angry rage — were nonexistant and never mentioned by the mother or apparent in any behavioral reports from the subjects teachers.
At 14, a minor gains some additional discretion over who they can choose to live with, i.e. their mother or their father. They also have more rights in other areas. My question here is whether the subject can refuse to participate in this intensive 2-week psychiatric program in favor of attending school at this time to protect her GPA and class standing. Or can the custodial mother FORCE the child to not attend school and go into this psychiatric program which was never ordered by the hospital or any doctor she was seeing. To this point, the child has not seen any mental health practitioner on a regular basis, nor did anyone (outside of the paramour who is not a family member) believe that such counseling was even necessary.
Can the 14-year old legally stand up for herself to make the more rational decision to not enter this psychiatric program right at this time and in favor of attending school to prepare for and to take her finals?
This would be in the state of Illinois. The non-custodial father with full, unsupervised visitation rights lives out of state but is very active in trying to support the child and to gain custody which earlier this past week before the idea of the psychiatric program was formulated by the mother, had been offered to the father by the mother as a possible solution. But instead of relinquishing child support and custody, the mother has chosen to characterize the child as having “serious psychiatric problems” which the mother intends to address via the psychiatric program (paid for by the mother’s health insurance policy), and quite possibly, psychotropic drugs if she can convince the doctors they are necessary, supposedly based on behavior in the home not observed by the doctors.
The mother does not have a 4 year college degree and is noted by many to be a pathological liar with symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder as well as Hysterical Personality Disorder, as observed by a veteran psychiatrist and mental health clinical director of many years.
So can the 14 year old legally refuse psychiatric treatment at this particular time and stay in school instead?

My cousin went out for her birthday with a friend, She has 2 kids that she sent to grandmas for the weekend. She did a very stupid thing..She did cocaine(First time)..and last. Her and the friend got into an argument and the friend call C&Y and reported her for doing drugs. They came checked her house and everything was fine, they gave her a urine test and left that was on a friday. They came back monday and took her 2 kids. Luckily her mom took them when C&Y placed them.. They told her she had to go to parenting,,which she finished successfully..she had to go to counseling which she finished successfull too. She also had to go to drug and alcohol…the worker told her to stay at her moms and help with the kids but do it with supervision, Thats 45 minutes away. She did becuz she wanted to be with her kids..In the meantime she lost her benefits and her job because she didnt have the gas to travel. She missed her appt to D&A classes because of this. She begged for her kids back.
