I have had stitches after giving birth in April '05. Now that my exhubby and I aren't having sex I have began to see another man. Whenever I have sex with the other guy, the area of my stitches get red,, swollen,, and purely hurt. It hurts so bad that I have to gently pat the area dry instead of wiping like normall. I usually have to soak in a hot vingar bath to relieve the pain but here lately it isn't helping. Should I tell him he's too big or do I need to visit my DR to see if I need restitching?

I do not like doing anything.. l do not like being around people-- don't want to get back in contact with "friends" the only reason I made those friends were because it was easier to practice sports I played in middleschool and highschool.. I don't want to make new friends.. I hate my family for no reason.. I have been like this since I was 5 years old..
Since I have been like this for 15 years is it just the way I am?? If not am I depressed CAN I be depressed for this long?
I am only 20 I live a pretty good life.. I am a pretty girl.. I have modeled for 5 years.. Hell guys come up to me all of the time.. Have 2 great kids (the only people i love.. or well even the only people i like for that matter).. I work 4 days a week.. get every fri, sat and sunday to do whatever i want.. i go to school and same story fri, sat, and sun i have nothing to do.. hang out with the kids.. so im not like stressed out..
HELLLLP! What do i do!?

3 months ago i underwent a colposcopy and biopsy after an abnormal PAP. The results came back negative on both exams. My docor recommended that i have another PAP and HPV DNA test 3 months later. The PAP come back normal, but the HPV DNA came back high risk levels. My co-workers say it's not possible to have a normal pap and have an hpv. Is it possible to have a result like mine?

20-year-old son moved to the other side of United States 3 weeks later. I knew it would be hard to lose my mother, and I knew the day would come when my son needed to be independent but I am finding that instead of slowly recuperating from both of these losses, that I seem to be getting worse with more tears, sadness, depression and hopelessness that life is over.
I have only lived in this area a relatively short time and most of that time has been filled with taking care of my dying mother and sons needs. I am not sure what to do now to save my own sanity. I have few friends here for a support system, have not found much in way of support groups.....just feel loss and like life is over. Any suggestions for help? Please no "God" answers as the prayers go unanswered in spite of all the good I have done all my life for others.

A 63 year old male supervisor is well known as a jekyll and hyde and someone who doesn't like smart women. He doesn't know his job at all. We are running the show for him. He is left his wife and 4 kids. He is living with a 36 year old woman.
In the past, he was verbally ok to Alice,64 year old working professional colleague. Alice is married for the past 45 years.I read his report on her. He wrote good things and bad things.
Alice did not deserve the bad things because she had been there for 40 years. The bad things were put downs.

Their relationship went down and he is constantly watching the both of us (Jaime). I am 34. He wants to know why Alice really likes me and wants to help me. He once shouted at her and said,
"What the hell has happened to you?"
Recently, there was a department meeting on a Sunday and Alice said she had to leave at 5pm. He said Alice had no excuse for leaving at 5pm.
I never heard him call Alice beautiful.

After you had sex for the first time were you late on your period? I know it's normal for the woman to be late after the first time she has sex. Were you late? How late were you or how late is normal?

there are times when i just cry when i think of bad things and good things that happened between me and my ex. i cannot seem to control my emotions, i get teary eyed the moment i remember and in ten seconds just burst out crying even in front of people. what i do is i just turn my back to them and pretend to have sniffles. its become an embarrassment for me.
i also talk to myself and like pretend to be talking to someone (my ex for instance) and sometimes speak out my responses out loud. is that normal? do i have depression, slight or otherwise? should i take pills?

I am a girl, 15 and way shorter than everyone in my family. I would be ok if I grew just two inches. Is it at all possible. I never got my period, but I'm pretty sure that's dew to unnatural causes. I only grew an inch per year over the last two years. I grew up thinking everyone grows taller than their parents.
