Health - 13 July 2006

Hi everyone, I am 18 years old and have never had a girlfriend. Growing up I lived in the boondocks and thusly was always a loner at school. I'm kind of fat and have low self-esteem, and on top of that I'm shy and introverted.
I have some guy friends, but not many, and one or two female friends.

So... How do I make friends? And more specifically, how do I make friends with women? I usually don't know what to say, and I've never had a girlfriend. I get kind of nervous whenever I'm talking to a girl I haven't met before, and after I do talk to them I'm usually pretty quiet and I think they think I'm weird. I also don't really have much to talk about, since I spend most of my time on the computer. The times when I hang out with my friends (maybe once a week or every two weeks) we usually just watch movies or hang out, so nothing eventful really happens...

Can anyone help?

I think I am scared to go to sleep, I just realized it recently and haven't really talked to anyone, does any one know what type of help is available.
I have been afraid of the dark since childhood, I don't remember anything happening I've just always been not only scared but I panic if I am in the dark.
I don't keep up with news anymore because of all the things that happen to people when they are sleeping. My dad died in his sleep so I'm sure thats a contributing factor.
I take Ambien and most of the time it doesn't work, if I'm not careful I am up for days at a time. When I close my eyes all these images start happening, I've tried counting to divert my attention but it doesnt' work. I don't think I have just laid down and went to sleep in years, I think I eventually just pass out from exhaustion, I have had trouble keeping a job and just functioning. I know there is therapy available but I would rather hear from people with similar experiences
Thank you

This is a bit embarrasing, but for the past week or so, I have constantly had the urge to pee. Even right after I go, I feel like I have to go. Why is this, and what can I do.

Could it have anything to do with puberty, I'm 14.

A couple of weeks a go i started having this pain from my waist down at thighs and legs..My thighs feels as if my muscles are tight and hurts. My knees hurts too. My feet hurts and feels like a motor is inside it(please do'nt laugh) and my tooes are numb..This just started two weeks a go since i started to set more than i used to due to too much desk work...Could this be the reason or is it a back problem because when i try to do some neck exercise and pull my head down for relaxation i can not and it feels like pressure in my back.
