I have Kaiser HMO in California through my employer and am not sure how to begin the process to see a therapist. How do I find out if my insurance covers therapist visits? Would I be restricted to only seeing Kaiser therapists?

I have had this, I found that when men did it, it was OK, when women healed it put me in a foul mood. Has anyone else had this and what were your experiences?

I just saw last night's episode of A & E's Intervention "Christy" (very disturbing) & it reminded me of a girl I used to work with who took large amounts of Adderall daily. I was wondering what the difference was between someone addicted to meth and someone addicted to adderall? Are the short and long term side effects the same? Are the dangers similar? Why does it cause open sores? From the picking they do when all jacked up?

My wife is 24 and she says periodically that the middle of her chest (her heart she thanks) feels like someone is stabbing it, she said she does not experience shortness of breath or any other pain in her body except in the middle of her chest on the left side!

Could it be anxiety or stress?

She is scared to go to the doctor

I'm 18 years old and will soon be getting a job. (shut up, I know I'm a little late :)) I know that most places keep people my age until way past closing time. My sister gets home at midnight. Well, I am a full time college student and I will be getting up between 5:30 and 6:30am every day. It takes me a while to get ready for bed and get ready in the morning. A full night's sleep is 8 hours, but in today's world, this is clearly not possible. So, how little sleep can I get away with? How much sleep can I get to still stay healthy? I'm very worried.

I am so tired of it. I understand that I do it to the extreme (in one case, the nail only reaches about 1/3 of the way to the top of my finger) however I am very hygienic and wash my hands often (especially before biting). To be honest, they are so short there isn't much room for dirt to accumulate anyway. I am very healthy, my teeth are perfect, I have not had even a common cold in 3 years and have never been seriously sick (I have been biting my nails my whole life - I'm 22). I am a professional pianist, and others in my faculty at University tell me that it is why my fingers are so short. But to me that is something I can work around.

I don't care about the look of nails on others or myself and since I do not bother them about habits of theirs that are probably worse (smoking, for example) I want to them to leave me in peace to do what I enjoy.

What can I say to make them stop bothering me?

Every night, just as I start to dream,maybe 10 minutes or so after closing my eyes, I'm awakened, just as if someone had slammed a door in my room, tho there is no sound or actual disturbance, I'm just jolted back awake. This happens at least three times every night. After at least three times, I go to sleep as usual and sleep undisturbed. This started happening about six months ago and I can count on it happening every night! It really scared me at first, but I've learned to expect it now. Just wondering what the cause might be, or if anyone else experiences this?

I am getting married in 3 years to the greatest guy I have ever known! However The entire time I have been with him he has been steadily gaining weight. He gained about 40 pounds in less than 1 and 1/2 years. Now he has been steady at 301 lbs and he doesn't look good at all.
He happens to be a pro wrestler but never trains or works out or even eats right. He says he wants to be big!
How can I make him see that being "big" and being fat are 2 different things. He refuses to work out or eat better. He just gets angry when I bring it up!
I need to make him see that he is slowly killing himself!
