Question by : could this be a sign of alcohol withdrawal?
before going to bed, if i don’t have a few drinks, i get really strange symptoms, like ill hear loud ringing and sometimes strange sounds, voices, not sure exactly what, it can be a little scary at times, i’m a perfectly sane and normal person, but i do take the anti-depressant nortriptyline, sometimes with alcohol, i know i’m not suppose to but i do anyways, also this only happens before bedtime, could this be a sign of alcohol withdrawal? can i “wean” myself out of this?

Best answer:

Answer by B
Honestly yes. Alcohol has a ton of withdrawl symptoms and well as different severity levels. Does it sound like a radio might be on when your going to bed, like off in the distance? Thats a sign. Voices, but not clear ones. ringing, odd muscle ticks or jerks, as well as bad dreams or sweating are all low to moderate withdrawal symptoms.

Question by So So Serious: Wanna know weakness of a Libra male? What Libra males don’t want you to know. READ This!!?
Libras Exposed! We are Narcissistic—google it if u dont know the term.

As a libra male..i know this for sure. This will let you know how to bring down those of us that think the world cannot live without us or that we are special and hurt u Just out of therapy…i know the truth about myself so i wanted to help others defend themselves against emotional hurt. So here’s how to:
1. make a libra male leave you (if thats your goal)
2. to make a libra male want you more.
Ignoring us..taking away what we desire and NEED most…ATTENTION

We use the SILENT TREATMENT when we are defeated….know, read and use this to your advantage. A libra hurt my sister…so now im exposing all of us!

Very much as a drug addict Libra males would react to the absence of his particular drug. The Libra male constantly consumes (really, preys upon) adoration, admiration, approval, applause, attention and other forms of Narcissistic Supply (attention). When lacking or deficient, a Narcissistic Deficiency Dysphoria sets in. The Libra male is and looks depressed, his movements slow down, his sleep patterns are disturbed (he either sleeps too much or becomes insomniac), his eating patterns change (he gorges on food or is unable even to look at it). He is be constantly dysphoric (sad), anhedonic (finds no interest in the world, no pleasure in anything or in any of his former pursuits and interests).

He is subjected to violent mood swings (mainly rage attacks) and all his (visible and painful) efforts at self-control fail. He may compulsively and ritually resort to an alternative addiction – alcohol, drugs, reading. This constitutes a futile effort of the narcissist both to escape his predicament – and to sublimate his aggressive urges. His whole behaviour seems constrained, artificial, full of effort and toil.

The libra male gradually turns more and more mechanical, detached, unreal. His thoughts constantly wander or become obsessive and repetitive, his speech may falter, he appears to be far away, in a world of his narcissistic fantasies, where Narcissistic Supply is aplenty.

He withdraws from this painful world which knows not how to appreciate his greatness, special skills and talents, potential, or achievements. The Libra thus ceases to bestow himself upon a cruel universe, punishing it for its shortcomings, its inability to realise how unique the narcissist is. A schizoid mode sets in: the Libra isolates himself, a hermit in the kingdom of his hurt. He minimises his social interactions and uses “messengers” to communicate with the outside. Devoid of energy, the Libra can no longer pretend (be fake) or succumb to social conventions. His former compliance gives way to open withdrawal (a rebellion of sorts). His former smiles are transformed to frowns, courtesy becomes rudeness, emphasised etiquette used as a weapon, an outlet of aggression, an act of violence.

The Libra, blinded by pain, will try to hide it, (giving you the impression he does not care, when he really does alot) seeks to restore his balance, to take another sip of the narcissistic nectar. In his quest, the narcissist Libra males turns to and upon those nearest to him. His real attitude emerges: for him, they are but tools, one-dimensional instruments on the path to gratification, Sources of Supply or pimps of such supply, catering to his narcissistic lusts.

He regards them as shallow, no longer functioning objects. In his wrath, he tries to mend them by forcing them to perform again, to function. This is coupled with horrendous and torrential self-flagellation, a deservedly self-inflicted punishment, or so the libra male narcissist feels. In extreme cases of deprivation, the narcissist may entertain suicidal thoughts, this is how deeply he loathes his self and his condition.

Through all this, the Libra is beset by a pervading sense of nostalgia. It is a malignant variety, harking back to a past, which never existed except in the thwarted grandiosity of the Libra. The longer the lack of Narcissistic Supply (attention), the more this past is glorified, re-written, the more you are missed and mourned. This serves to enhance all the other negative feelings. Put together, it already amounts to what might be clinically described as depression.

The Libra then glides into the shores of paranoia (what if i cant get her back?). From his mental closet, he draws a model of a prosecuting world (like its your fault and blame), incorporating in it those around him and events in his recent life. This gives meaning to what is erroneously perceived by the libra as a sudden shift from over supply to under or to no supply (such over and under valuations are typical of him). The apparent diminishing of the Narcissistic Supply is best explained by a theory of conspiracy. The narcissist libra male then – in pain, in despair, in fear – embarks upon an orgy of self-destruction intended to generate “alternative Supply Sources” (attention) at any cost. (mostly

I’m sorry about your sister being hurt by a Libra. I know how it feels to be in love and then be hurt by a libra. Most of what you have said is right…about alcohol abuse and insomnia…and about the attention seeking part. I feel they shoot themselves in the toe all the time. But then, in Chris Rock’s words,” If you haven’t contemplated murder…you haven’t been in love!” ….

Question by VivaLaNicole: How can I close this persuasive letter?
I’m writing a letter to the next president about the Drinking age.
I have to write my closing paragraph which only has to be about 5 lines. I can’t think of a way to close this! Please help me! Here is my letter…….

There are 1,081 deaths a year in Michigan alone from drunk driving. For the state of Michigan that’s about 36 percent of all deaths. If you think that’s a lot, can you imagine the number of deaths nationwide? Lowering the drinking age will only increase the amount of people that can purchase alcohol, so we can predict that the number of these tragedies may increase. If 21 year olds are not all responsible enough to drink responsibility, then we can not expect 18 year olds to be either! I think the fact that people are trying to lower the drinking age to 18 is wrong, and will only cause more accidents, deaths and tragedy for our country.
I realize that, at the moment, Michigan is the only state trying to lower the drinking age to 18, but this is a national issue. I can say from personal experience that drunken-related accidents are things that severely impact your life. How would you feel if somebody you cared about got into a bad accident? Lets say that a family friend got into a car accident due to drunk driving. It could cost them thousands of dollars just to pay for repairs on the car and even more for medical bills if they got hurt. We can help lower the amount of accidents due to drunk driving through a variety of different community initiatives. There are many different groups that try to help lower the amount of drunk driving accident, such as The Mothers Against Drunk Driving. Lowering the drinking age will not make our world a safer place and should not be done.
Knowing how many underaged drinkers are out there already, don’t you think that lowering the drinking age will only increase the amount of underaged drinkers? According to CNN seventy-eight percent of high school students have at least tried alcohol! If you ask me, that’s way to much. In America, underage drinkers account for about 11.4 percent of all alcohol consumption. I went to Abovetheinfluence.com to get some facts on alcohol. What many underage drinkers don’t realize is that alcohol can cause many problems. Excessive drinking can cause alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning can lead to a coma or even death. There are even more problems with excessive drinking. Alcohol abuse can cause liver damage, mouth, throat, esophagus and larynx cancer and heart disease. If alcohol abuse can cause all of this, then why would anybody want to let more people drink?
If we lowered the drinking age, it could also hurt the states. Federal law prohibits states which have a drinking age under 21 from receiving transportation funds from the federal government. That could cause many transportation companies to go bankrupt. I think that the president should personally take a stand to try and help this cause.

Please help me think of a good closing reccomendation!
I’ll award 10 points:]

Question by Spectacular: Could this mean my sister has alcohol poisoning?
She is really starting to freak out about this. I think she is fine,, but she thinks other wise.
If your limbs (such as your fingers mainly) keep tingling and wont stop (This has been going on for hours, it’s not just that her fingers are asleep) and you have drank a bunch of alcohol about 2 days ago could this tingling be a symptom of alcohol poisoning?

Best answer:

Answer by Freddie G
No worries, alcohol poisoning is an instant thing. Kind of like getting shot with a bullet, you feel the effects then and there, Not 2 days later. Whatever the issue is with her tingling fingers, it isnt alcohol poisoning.
