Health - 10 July 2006

I think I am a little bit OCD. I was told that if anything like that interferes with my daily life I should seek help but I don't know if I'm there yet.
I ALWAYS have to double/triple check everything
Sometimes when I get really anxious or like....excited or even angry I get paranoid about things like leaving my oven on or not locking the door.

A few weeks ago I went to a movie and didn't have a minute of fun because I was convinced I didn't lock my front door. I had.

A week after that I almost set off the burglary alarm at work because I went back at 2 am to make sure I had locked the door. I had.

Just yesterday me and my boyfriend got into a fight because we were going to baseball game, we are like a block away and I made him turn around and take me back to our house because I convinced myself I hadn't turned off my straightener. I had but I lied to him and said that I did leave it on. I'm really not a lier and I feel horrible that I did.
I don't know what I should do.

Are you able to diagnose yourself by cutting out certain foods and seeing if your symptoms go away?

Hi, I'm doing a writing project and I need to get some insight into the mind of a 45 year old man who is conscious about his health.

The assignment is to write a sales letter that would persuade him to buy vitamins through direct mail.

I'm trying to figure out this man because 1.) I'm female, 2.) I'm in my early 30's, 3.) I'm definately NOT a health conscious person myself, and 4.) I don't know anyone who fits the profile.

Ideally in this assignment, I would know someone who fits this profile and write to him. But since I don't know anyone, I have to create a fictional character in my mind and write to him. I call him "Adam."

So, (and here's the question), where do 45 year old men who are health conscious hang out on the internet? Forums would be best, but web sites work too.

Thanks, Sfox

P.S. If you were wondering, there actually is a course that teaches you to write junk (um, I mean direct) mail.

Our 9-year old son has swollen, red, runny eyes since an hour or two ago. We don't know what caused it but he did go swimming in our apartment pool about 3 hours ago so, that's a likely cause. We've tried Visine eye drops and of course washing face and hands. What else can we try tonight? We can take him to see a doctor tomorrow if it's not better in the morning but I'd like to avoid a $2,000 emergency room bill for something that will probably clear up in a few hours.

How can I stop feeling empty, lonely, bored and depress?
These feelings are torturing me, I have feel like I have to do something to make myself happy, as a result, I eat so much snack liek I want to use snack to make myself happy (but I know it's not the solution), yet I keep eating, to a point I eat too much that I feel so sick.
What can I do?
