I’m only 14, but all my life have really wanted to know about aromatherapy. I have recently started making soaps and use the basics like lavender and tea-tree oil in them, but knowing more would really help and also as soap is applied directly on the skin I need to know what I’m doing! Any information on making oils, buying them, burning them or using them in any way would be really appreciated as well as any info on books/sites
Thanks!!

due to a variety of reasons I am diagnosed as clinically depressed and currently under a lot of stress from.. well life, I suppose. I have had several courses of CBT, NLP and am on medication to control my anxiety. –

Just recently our 12 yr old cat is diagnosed with thyroid an diabetes and this has (obviously) had a massive effect on our daily routine. Due to the thyroid he drinks a lot and needs to pee a lot. In order to get all the medical samples we needed we have had to make some adjustments (to get a pee sample we needed to have an empty the litter tray for example) and afterwards we had to inject him with insulin every day..

now our problem: he does pee EVERYWHERE except the litter box – he has an favourite spot to piss (which is under my PC table), he takes it to the sofa too.. it is no joy (understatement) to enter the room, ANY room and being welcomed by a waft of cat piss or even accidentally step or sit in it – it makes you paranoid and very on edge!. It has been quite a while now and believe me we have taken many ways of persuading him to go back to his box. Praising, complementing, rewarding, talking (my wife even took a pet whispering course!!) – we tried the ‘bad cop’ (me) ‘good cop’ (my wife) approach, we used attractive smells, aromatherapy, cat counselling, confrontation, consequential behaviour treats (shock & awe) , vets advise and currently we have resorted to ‘taping’ or cordoning off all no go areas and spraying orange scents.
as you can see we are quite at the end of our wits. Due to this we both are very stressed and it is affecting our relationship – all we do is either feed him, nurse him, medicate him clean up after him or trying to get him to bloody pee in his box. The strain is showing and at times I am seriously thinking of harming him. I know we made a commitment but we just cannot cope and the situation is slowly (but surely) getting out of hand. please can anyone anyone offer some sound advise.

Afterthought: I am seriously thinking of taking the cat out of possible harms way and hand him over to the local CAT RESCUE CENTRE or the RSPCA cos’ that may be the best thing..

I need genuine help. My wife is to phone the vet, but they probably will advise to sit it out for another few weeks more (as they will not know about my current condition or mental state..)
We live in a flat – it is an indoor cat.
I have no intention to hurt the cat and have not done so ever. I just have that feeling that I might and it scares me and I want to ensure that there is something we can do to ensure him staying with us is indeed the best we can do for all of us. I do not mind having to be his feeder, nurse or medication giver. I just cannot stand that he is affecting our lives so much with his decision to ‘pee outside the box’
I have just received advise from online vet at JustAnswers.com

not what I wanted to hear, but she advised to consider putting the cat out of his misery – for a qualified veterinarian it must have been a difficult advise to give even more difficult to receive for us.
Though I appreciate her advise I am still going to try alternative methods. I cannot bear having to put him down..
