Does anyone know what the basic symptoms of depression are? I am curious if this is what my problem is. I am a stay at home mom of 3 boys and not sure if what I am experiencing is just normal or if there is more to it. I dont have insurance yet (will in about a month) and want to know if the symptoms I have are those of depression.
Please, serious answers only.

I'm a 17 year old girl about to go into my senior year of highschool. At one point this summer a friend made the comment "damn. you're bipolar as f*ck" later she said that she was kidding, but I looked into it anyway. When I looked up the symptoms I found out that a lot of them matched me, a little too close to comfort. Sometimes I do feel like I'm on top of the world, I can do anything and no one could ever stop me, I feel so happy just to be breathing and can hardly understand why anyone would ever want to be sad. Then some tiny thing will happen that reminds me excatly how easy it is to be sad and I will break down and wonder what point there is to anything in this world. To be honest I'm scared to death because I don't want my parents finding out, I'd never want to worry them or anything. Also, I couldn't imagine being on meds for the rest of my life. Any thoughts anyone?

Okay, I know this sounds weird, but here it goes. My husband has told me that lately everything smells like onions to him. Go ahead and laugh if you want, but he's dead serious. He showers every day if not twice a day because he works out. From his pits, to other people, to even the gas station, and he's now to the point where I can't even cook with him because it makes him nauseas.

This is a serious question and I really hope you answer seriously. If you feel like putting joke answers or comments, please bug someone else with your adolescent behavior.

Thank you.

After I have sex, I feel so close to the man i've mad love to and all I want to do is cuddle with him. The man always just wants to turn over and go to sleep. Is there some scientific reason for this?

I was a nailbiter for about 9 years so my nailbeds got pretty short. Not extremely short but maybe 1 or 2 mm shorter than normal. I was just wondering will the nailbeds ever grow back to normal? I often used to bite my nails until they bled. I haven't biten my nails for 3 months though and the beds don't seem to be getting any bigger I was just wondering if they ever will.

I'm a writer working on a book to help people who are dealing with chronic illnesses (an illness that you have for a long period of time and that is debilitating to such a degree that it has changed your lifestyle).

If you'd like to give me more data that I can use as research for this book, I have an online survey at http://www.quia.com/sv/86904.html that I'd appreciate people taking as well as responding to this question.

I want to write a book, from a Christian perspective, that meets the needs of those with chronic illnesses. I myself have had Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 6 years, my mother just had a mild stroke and my father has been going through chemo for cancer. I see a great need for such a book out there and I'd like to be the one to provide it. The more information I get from people who struggle with these kinds of illnesses, the more I can tailor my book to their needs.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Firstly, the bite isn't that bad. I have a toy poodle pup and when I was playing rough with her she accidently bit my nose hard and I heard a CRUNCH and all this blood started pouring out. I applied pressure to it and am holding ice to it and the bleeding lasted about 8 minutes but it stopped. My septum (the skin between my nostrils) is cut but it is pretty small and isn't cut all the way through the entire septum. It is on the surface and when I pull the cut apart it looks like she took out a small chunk of skin! It hurts but just looks like a small cut through a bit of my septum when it's not pulled apart. It is swollen and when I pull it apart it looks like a tiny piece of skin is gone and it is all red. Im scared I will have a scar... What should I do and does that sound bad?

I got a back tooth pulled 4 days ago, and ever since yesterday my jaw started hurting pretty bad, i got another prescription for pain killers, but they are not even touching the pain. I have a nasty odor that i cant get rid of in my mouth now along with a disgusting taste when i touch the tip of my toungue to the hole in my jaw. The pain feels like i am constantly gritting my teeth, or like i am bitting down so hard i feel as though my teeth are gonna snap out of my head! I wanna know if there is something i can do at home until i can get to the dentist to help relieve the pain. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I decided to calculate my BMI by the formula I found in Shape magazine. The formula is your current weight times 730. Then, you divide that number by your height in inches. Next, you divide that number by your height in inches again.

After I did this, I decided to see what my BMI was from my BMI calculator I bought. You hold it out in front of you.

The difference is about 5-7%. The formula told me I was overweight, but the BMI calculator told me I was obese.

My question is, which should I believe? The formula or the calculator?
