Overcoming the trauma of a home invasion.
Exactly a week ago, I experienced a home invasion. The intruder ended up being a male living in the building and was so high/drunk that he believed he was getting into his home and instead broke into my apartment. I awoke to banging on the door, the guy had lost his keys and decided he was going to break his door to get in. When i opened the door, there was this guy stating that he owned everything in my apartment and that i should get out and then he barged his way in and started walking around. I ran for my cell phone and called 911 the whole time the guys yelling at me "this isn't your place, I don't care if you call the police I'm not going anywhere". The intruder at that point went into my bed room while i was on the phone with 911 and for what ever reason zoned out and started fussing with his cell phone. It took the police about 10-15 mins to get here and get the guy out of my room. Finally they took him away and it seems that was that. However, I've been a mess since this happened. I had to take this past week off work because of the anxiety I feel. I didn't get out of bed or shower for 3 days. And only just now having the strength to talk about it. I feel very angry and nervous. But most of all I feel embarrassed that I needed to take this amount of time to get back on my feet. Is this normal. I did go see doctor a few days after the incident and they told me to take up to a month off work. What is the appropriate amount of time to get over a home invasion anxiety?
Read answer →Intervention: The Fight of a Lifetime
My sister is addicted to pain drugs. This morning her boyfriend found her on the floor not breathing with blue lips (actually she was still breathing but just barely and it looked like she wasn’t). He called 911 and they were able to resuscitate her. This is the 3rd time she has accidentally overdosed. If someone was going to keep trying to jump off a bridge we’d out them in a hospital until they weren’t a danger to themselves, even if they didn’t want to be there. My sister doesn’t want treatment right now but she is going to die soon without it – so what’s the difference? How is one form of suicide different from another? The hospital says they can’t take her on unless she agrees to the treatment. Is there anything I can do to get her forced into this?

My son forged my name as a co-signer on a loan and because of his latest round of gambling, defaulted on the loan. It's now in collection and they are demanding payment. I'm wondering if I should pay or tell the collection agency that it's not my signature.

I am considering an intervention for an alcoholic family member. Things are very touchy with her. Do interventions ever backfire and make things worse?
