I usto be really health conscionce(sp?) and I still am but at the same time now i'm more vulnerable to junky foods like peanut butter and chocolate. I haven't gained any weight or anything like that but I don't want to! I don't want to be like my mom or dad(no offense to them.). I don't. I want to be healthy and mantain my weight.

Age:16
Height: 5ft 4.5inches
Weight: 113lbs
Body Fat: 22%
Gender: Female

I lift weights 30-1hour a day and my food intake besides my compulsion with fatty foods with my snacks for the past couple of days involves something like this...

Breakfast- Cereal(Wheaties),Yogert,Water
Snack-- Grapes, 100 cal. teddy grams,water
Lunch-- 1 egg whites sandwhich(wheat bread), corn, chocolate milk(ovaltine),water
Snack--- blueberries,water, 1special k bar(they are good!)
Dinner-- 1 hamburger(wheat), chocolate milk(ovaltine), carrots
Snack- Cereal(wheaties),yogert and water.

I DON'T WANT TO GET FAT! WHY AM I CRAVING FOR FATTY JUNK FOODS NOW!?

I think I'm paranoid, but i'm not sure. And is being paranoid a bad thing?

Reasons why I think I'm paranoid:
1. I H-A-T-E HATE public bathrooms! They are so gross! And I always feel like someone is watching me while I'm using one. So I don't use those, heh, not the best solution, but oh well

2. I always feel like people are watching me. I've solved this though with hiding myself behind my hair.

3. Sometimes when I'm eating, I feel like people are yet again watching me! And my way to solve this is to not eat in public. Ridiculous right?

So what do you think? Am I paranoid?

Hey.
I've had issues with self-harm since I was about ten years old, and I am now 17. My parents have only been made aware once, at which point I was told I was doing it for attention. It has never been mentioned again.

At my worst, I caused a huge open wound in my forearm which 3 years later is still red and keloided, and slashed myself accross the face with a hypodermic needle.

I posted not long back about a relapse, and the worst came to the worst and i've started harming again. I worked hard to get over it on my own, and I don't want things to get that bad again.

I've got a lot of issues in my life, with college stress and a negative relationship on the go. I have issues with compulsive over-eating and i'm feeling very depressed.

I am going to make an appointment to speak to my college councellor (it's free) but I want to see my family doctor about some medication to help me along.

Am I likely to get it? If so, what's it likely to be - side effects?

My wife left me 7 years ago. It was one of those leavings where she didn't hate me or anything, nor was it anything that I did. She just left because she wanted to pursue a career in another state.

Her love for me was not enough to stay with me. I helped her move her items down to California, and then returned to Seattle, went home, and closed the curtains. They have been closed ever since. I go to work and go home everyday. I stopped seeing my friends, and stopped going out. I spend a lot of time in front of the computer night after night, I hangout on forums everywhere on the net. I drink every night now, and I do everything possible to avoid people at all cost. I've been doing this for 7 years. I guess I'm depressed but I'm not sure what I'm depressed about. Life itself just seems boring and without substance. Human existence seems rather pointless. I know I should do something but I don't really know what to do. How does someone comeback from the dead?

I developed this lump nearly overnight, after a workout that I was not used to. This workout also involved bracing myself against a pad in that area (as in tricep extension machine).. There was subsequent swelling and severe pain, which responded to antibiotics. It also hurt a lot when I used my pectoral muscles and arm on that side.Now the swelling has gone down and the pain is only there when it is pressed . I have been seeing a breast surgeion because I had a biopsy on the same breast a couple of weeks before (benign). When he heard that I had worked out the night before, he offered costal chondritis or Tietze syndrome as a possibilily. All of my symptoms sound just like that diagnosis expect for the little almond size lump that still remains. Can costal chondritis or Tietze syndrome cause a lump?

When I was 15 i went to see a gyno. I didn't want my parents to know so I looked for one who had low cost services. I found one in a nice office, in a nice part of town. I filled out the usual forms & went in to see the doc. I had never been to a gyno so I didn't know what to expect. The doc came in with a nurse and asked me if i wanted to have her in the room during the exam. i said no; it was bad enough to have to show him my vagina, i din't want the nurse to see it too. she stepped out. When he started the pelvic exam he said he was going to massage the area to loosen it up so it wouldn't hurt when he put the speculum in. He did this for a while, I don't remember how long exactly but i remeber being in that room for a long time. I also rmember him sitting while doing it. He asked me if I ever masturbated and said it was good to do cuz it helped get them more easily. I left and never thought much about it that is till the next time i saw a gyno.

I've had black stool for a few days now. It doesn't smell any worse than usual, but it is rather sticky and sinks. I haven't had any pain around the midsection for the last several days, but earlier today (give or take an hour), I started having some.

Is this just because of diet or could I be bleeding internally?
