I've been flossing for several yrs now. I recently decided to use a water pick. To my surprise, I noticed some bleeding when I tried it for the 1st time. Is this normal. I would expect this reaction on someone who has not flossed.

I am a 32 year old man who always carries a handkerchief in my trouser pocket each day. A few of my mates also carry one but the majority do not and they do not understand why we do. My trouser pockets feel strange if they are not stuffed with a handkerchief, money, keys in one pocket and wallet in the other.
Which other men carry a handkerhchief each day and do you stuff other stuff into your front pockets?

I have been on Lexapro for about 5 weeks. After two weeks I started feeling great, now in the last week, I am down again. Is it possible it stopped working? Or never worked? I am on 10mg.
I liked it because I had hardly no side effects from it.
Has anyone had this issue before?
Thanks

What do you call depression?

If you think about self harm or actually doing it? Of even worse if you think about killing your self? I feel I can't talk the the doctors because they don't seem very helpful where I go... What can I do to make myself feel better and stop thinking of bad things?

Would moving away solve my heartach? :(

I was always chubby ! I've never been obese. Just a bit heavy like lots of people.
I'm still a chocaholic.
I still don't get much exercise.Just trying to catch the cracked thouroughbred horses I possess !
I can still eat twice my weight.( The Irish tend to have large appetites for food as well as drink )
I'm not eating anything different.
Still taking in lots of carbs, sugar etc. but I have lost weight. Don't get me wrong I'm delighted but just curious.
I'm 19.
Am I finally losing the "baby fat" ??

I usually drink fruit juice in the morning, in the afternoon I'll eat fruits and a bar of chocolate( I can't stop, I just love it and I'll have one bar per day), and if I'm hungry I'll eat a small bowl of porridge or half packet of noodles. Then I'll just eat vegetables in the night... I do run and do many cardio but I just don't seem to lose weight... I ain't overweight, in fact I'm ain't that fat... but I just need to lose weight -about another 4/5kg!!- help!!! I'm feeling very low because of this.

My doctor prescribed me Strong Co-codamol tablets about 2 and half years ago for bad stomach pains. They really helped so i started using them all the time. I noticed that when i took them i was getting a buzz from them a sort of head rush and a nice feeling through my body.

Now i just take them to get the buzz but have found i keep needing to take more to get the buzz and it is not lasting as long.

I take about 10 of the prescribed tablets a day but have also been buying the weaker ones from the chemist and using some of them in between. I have tried to stop but my body doesn't feel the same without them and i get ill. My doctor did recentley call me in to discuss why i keep putting prescription requests in so early and ask how many i take. I did lie a little and said about 8 a day he didnt seem to concerned and has said that they are going to moniter the situation and wont give me tablets early anymore.

I am starting to get worried that i could damage my body .
