How do you stop your brain from doing something like thinking about a stupid idea that makes you nervous when you know the idea has no basis in reality, but it is so deeply engrained that It keep reappearing over and over. Every once in a while an idea will pop in my head that makes me very self concious, such as "oh no their going to think.. this is or that" then I will start acting different to compensate for this thought, thus making other people nervous.but at the same time my higher brains feels like I really don't care!! It's like an automatic idea my brain thinks, then I think, this is stupid.. but it still makes me feel uncomfortalbe. How do I stop retarded thoughts? Why am I cursed with the stupid stuff that doesn't matter , even popping into my head? I just hope I will have more control over my thoughts as I get older, but I am already 24.. I just want my brain to be okay with me no matter what anyone thinks, but It's like it doesn't feel it can stand on its own! Help

I need to do a 10 page research paper for my English Composition class, and I chose to do Teens and Substance Abuse, but that seems waaay too general. So, I think I may change it to all about one drug.. but I don't know which one. I'm thinking methamphetamine because (at least I think this is right) it is one of the most widely used and deadliest drugs in the United States today.

What do you think would be the best to do my report on? What drug would you want to know more about? Why?

I was really anxious about going to work today because I thought I might be fired or something, so I was really stressed out and sad and mad and the only thing that helped me calm down was cutting on my left arm. Then I went to see a girl I liked and her boyfriend came in and I felt so awful that as soon as I got home out came the box cutter. All of the drugs I take now for it doesn't work very well, because it's older drugs since my insurance makes me pay too much for the newer, more effective drugs that I can't afford.. My whole left arm is one massive scar from the shoulder to the wrist from where I've been cutting for years now. My boss told me that if she saw anymore cuts on my forearm, I'd have to wear long sleeve shirts to work because it upsets people. Now I cut on my upper arm so a short sleeves shirt hides the cuts. I have hospital bills out the *** and I have no money and I'm so alone all the time. Please help. I'm tired of hating myself.

Does having a small penis compared to your friends affect your everyday life.I have a friend who,I personally don't think has a small penis about 5-6 inches when NOT errect.He however,thinks it' is abnormal and won't go anywhere that he might be put in a position of exposure,even to the loo when out.Nor football,swimming sunbathing.He even wears the baggiest jeans and clothing he can find to try and hide himself up.It's as though he thinks people can see through his clothes.It has become such a problem to him it's making him seriously depressed and he also won't get into any relationships through fear of rejection.
Anyone else out there seriously affected like this and have they found something or someone to help them.All the talking in the world trying to re-assure him that he's normal doesn't work.It's making him a recluse,he doesn't go to work now either.

I am currently taking a lot of Vitamin B, C, E, Beta Carotene, and on top of this also Centrum, DAILY. I know too much Vitamin A or D is bad, but what about the rest?

Also when is the best time of the day to take these vitamins and is it okay to take them all at the same time?

I am in my early 30s but I have been suffering from weird memory lapses since my mid 20s. I am sure I am a bit young for alzheimers. At first it was just little things I would forget. Like one day I walked up to the atm and suddenly couldn't remember a pin number I'd used for 3 years . The names of old school chums, phone numbers, things like that just started to disappear. But now, I have huge blocks of time I can't remember. I can't remember potty training my kids. A friend asked me advice for her kid, and I just can't even remember doing it at all! I can't remember all the places I've lived. My memory blanks are getting big. I am not sure if I might have a medical problem, like a brain tumor, or a psychological problem that is causing this. I do suffer from depression at times. I heard depression causes memory loss...but to this magnitude? might it be the meds? is it a mental issue or a medical one? Which should I see- a neurologist or a psychiatrist?

I'm finally past the denial stage. My hair is definitely thinning. If family history is any indicator, I'll one day need to make a trip to the wig shop. But is there any way to prevent or even stall this?

im 19, so, i still got time, but i gained like 30 pounds this year, and they sagged a tiny bit! I usually do the pencil test, which is, if you stick a pencil under your breats, and it stays, that means their saggy and gross, mine stayed until i arched my back (i dont go around looking at other girls bare chests, so all i have to compair myself to is porn I happen to see on the internet)

anyway, im paranoid that their gonna start to sag. they still look great, even though i gained weight, but now that i lost half fo it, will they go back?!
