Whenever I get stressed or upset, I break out in hives, they're not the really big ugly ones, but I itch all over. I have used Allegra in the past, but you have to have a prescription for it. Benedryl puts me straight to sleep. NE1 have anyother over the counter suggestions?

Lost my dad 2 years ago and my dog of 12 years 2 months ago. Sometimes I'll get in states of mind like everything just feels "off" or weird to me. My mind will start to race and I'll scare myself basically. Asking existential questions which obviously have no answer. Then I distract myself and it goes away. I've had panic attacks when my dad died, but it never gets to that level anymore since I calm myself down when I feel it coming on. Just wish the anxiety would go away. Is there anything I can do more than calm down?

Hey guys i'm 17, male, 6ft1 and weigh a terrible 294lbs. I suppose i want to lose around 80lbs of fat. I do 1 hour of cardio a day (stationary bike) and do weight lifting every 2 days with 2x20lbs dumbells.

Was wondering how many calories do i currently need to maintain my current weight? and whether to go on a 1200 or 1500 calories diet.

Also every morning for breakfast i have a average sized bowl of fruit and fibre with skimmed milk - is this good?



Thanks.

I had sex with my boyfriend the day after I got done with my period. Before he ejaculated, he pulled out. I am now 3-4 days late on my next period. I have been under a lot of stress as well. I don't know if it is stress that is causing me to be late or am I pregnant? I'm really scared too.

For breakfast I usually eat a yogurt, 2 low fat waffles with jam, and a banana. In about 1 hour I'm usually really hungry. Should I add some protein? I hate getting a growly stomach in class!

A male friend of ours daughter stated that (A) she is bipolar (B) depressed (C) attempted hanging herself. She stated that she went to the basement and hung herself. A male friend of hers walked into her home and when he did not find her on the two main floors of the home, he went to the basement found her and cut her down. Need of no medical attention! I find this most difficult to believe. If she heard him upstairs and when he was walking downstairs she leaped would he be able to save her then either? But "hanging" how long can one hang prior to death. I always thought it was nearly immediately. Please anyone with sincere knowledge answer. And thanks

Literally, as soon as it's dark, when I'm driving I drop. I chug mass caffeine, but what else could it be and how might I "cure" it?
