Im on probation and just got out of a mental hospital for bipolar and have a white warrant issued What is going to happen?

You will get arrested for breach of probation. Answer: A "white warrant" means a warrant issued for a parole/probation revocation. If there was some oustanding reason you couldn't maintain contact with your probation/parole officer during your stay in the facility, there will be a hearing to determine if you could have "reasonably" could or couldn't have done so, and a judge will determine if it was acceptable. Of course, you will be arrested, and depending on the state, you may automaticaly have to serve a pre-determined time in jail before the hearing with out bail. Best thing for you to do is contact your attorney that handled the case for you to determine what to do next.

When you go on a crash diet what can you do so that you don't get Hungary all of the time?

The key to losing weight is to eat properly and exercise to use up the excess weight that you currently have. Not eating enough will cause your metabolism to change so that it helps you gain more weight on less food. The key to avoiding feeling hungry is to be sure you get the right amounts of protein (est. 3-6 oz. per meal for a woman), include the carbs that are slow to digest (certain vegetables--not lettuce--like green beans, etc.) Articles on diabetes are useful in deciding on your "diet" as would a nutritionist. Do it right, and the weight will stay gone and you will be healthier.

Can you claim workers compensation for causing anxiety attacks?

You cannot receive worker's compensation for instigating panic attacks; however, you may be eligible to receive compensation if you suffered an emotional trauma on the job, if said trauma interferes with your ability to resume and/or continue duties, and if a doctor can establish a definite correlation between both the trauma and the condition of the afflicted. If the trauma is severe enough, one may also qualify for Social Security on either a temporary basis (SSI) or a permanent one (SSD), although the former is more likely to occur.

Are there still public bathrooms in Manhattan?

There used to be public bathrooms in the subways, but they were closed, in the early 1980s, I think. The city decided to close the bathrooms because so many people were doing drugs and prostituting themselves in them. Now you usually have to find a Starbucks or some other restaurant that will let you use the bathroom.

There are a few public bathrooms in the city: there's one at Bryant Park, on West 42nd Street between 5th and 6th Avenues, for example. However, it closes when the park closes. Most police stations will also let you use their bathrooms. There's also a public bathroom at Grand Central Station, and at Penn Station.

I have included a link to a site called "Clean Bathrooms in New York City," which lists some more places where public bathrooms can be found.

What should you do if you are a 14-year-old boy and feel like you are stuck in a 9-year-old girl's body?

The first thing i'd recomend is to talk to a counsellor - someone who will listen and take you seriously. Whether that be a school counsellor or a specialised service. Some states have specialised services who work with people who feel this way everyday.

Does psychotherapy work?

That depends on you and your therapist. Psychotherapy takes work and sometimes a significant amount of time. Of course, this varies with the problems that need addressed, but usually it can last anywhere from weeks to years. If you put effort into psychotherapy, it works. If you don't, psychotherapy will not work. I also believe it depends on the therapist you have. A good therapist will listen, build your trust, will not be judgmental, and will help you address your problems head on. He or she will give you good advice, good resources, and help you understand what's going on. If you are debating on whether or not to participate in psychotherapy, go for it. There is nothing to lose.

What phobia is fear of moustaches?

I know of no phobia named for the fear of mustaches.

Chaetophobia, Trichopathophobia, Trichophobia, and Hypertrichophobia are names of phobias relating to the fear of hair.

It could be that people believe than a person is hiding something behind the mustache.

Some people believe that a mustache makes a person appear shady, for some reason.

Some perverts that have had their faces on the television have mustaches, there may be something connected to that.

Is being afraid of aliens a phobia?

No, at least they don't have a terminology for it... anyway don't be afraid of aliens They are not out to get us, they are nice. I know easier said then done, I was so afraid of aliens, that i was sure there was something wrong with me. I got over it...well not completely. I overcame the fear by learning more.

I would freeze up evertime i looked in anm aliens eye. And i knew that that was one of the abduction characteristics people often report. It turns out that aliens may have developed the same way as dolphins. They combine telepathy with a supersonic wave that paralizes us. They do this because they don't want to hurt us. Well the greys at least...

Could you say you are eating yourself if you bite your nails?

Answer

When you bite your nails, normally you would not bite off the nail and then swallow it. Biting your nails is a habit that a lot of people have, including me. It can be harmful to your teeth and nails, but no this would not be considered eating yourself. Don't worry, your not a cannibal.

Also if you chew your nails you can rip off skin. That happened to me last night I have not chew my nails since
