Health - 9 December 2006

I'm bi polar, and two and a half years ago, I experienced the worst depression of my life. I am currently taking 2 different medications - one for depression and a mood stabilizer, my depression has improved a great deal, but my life has no meaning anymore, and I can no longer find pleasure in anything, no interest in anything. Since my depression, I started having panic attacks and am afraid of just about everything these days. I even had to give up my car because of all of the anxiety is was causing me. I used to be almost a workaholic, but now I can't even work!!! Just the thought of turning in a resume or job application creates such anxiety that I can't even make a resume or fill out an application.
At times I am soooo numb from my depression that I can't even cry, other times I cry over the silliest things and can't stop. I see a psychiatrist, a counselor, and support group, nothing helps.Has anyone else been here???, and lived to see light again?? PLEASE HELP I'm sinking fast..

I was driving down the highway to work this morning and I accidentally ran over my foot. I think I broke some bones in it. Should I suck it up or go to the doctor?

I just found out my friend (who I just saw for the first time in a year) and she's bulimic. She told me after I interrogated her about her big weight loss. I asked her if her husband knew and she said he was like all for it as long as she didn't get sick. What's your take on this??

Just moved to San Diego and I hear the Santa Ana winds are causing my problems. I've had these headaches every other day for about a month and a half. I've been to the doctor and they gave me antibiotics twice but I don't think it's an infection. I have bad headaches. I take Claritin D and take advil. Any other suggestions to do with this?

This usually occurs when I have a full stomach or I'm bloated. The pain is localized. It occurs around where the rib cage and belly meet, a little right from the esophagus. If I press down on it I can feel it and it subsides. Sometimes a tingly sensation curves over to my back. This is near the middle of the torso, and I know it is not a side stich.
I have already gone to the doctor but they thought it was muscular. They told me to wait a couple of weeks, and see if it stays. I'm thinking of going back but before I would like to know if anyone has any idea what it can be.

My eyes are so itchy lately. It's always in the inner corner of my eye and gentle rubbing doesn't help. I've resorted to dabbing hydrocortizone cream into the corners of my eyes which may or may not work... Sometimes it's one eye, sometimes the other, sometimes both. My eyes are not red or puffy and I have no history of having any allergies.
Any ideas what this could be? Or how I could go about determining what it is?

Me and my mom have a lot in common, we both:
- like flowers a lot, and coincidentally, tulips are our fav flowers
- scared of heights
- have motion sickness
- allergic to caffene
- like decorating the house
- like peaceful environment
- like peaceful music

can these similarities just be a coincidence or is it inherited?
