Health - 7 January 2007

I'm 17 with no life. I stopped going to school 2 years ago after my mom died. I have no dreams or ambitions. All I do every day is sit at home on the computer staring at a screen. I can't go anywhere that has alot of people because I start panicing. I push love away. I lay awake for hours before falling asleep every night. My g/f just died in Nov. I have no one to talk to. I do the same fu**ing sh!t every single day. I have no will-power to help myself or force myself to change. I'm not a fat guy, like some would think, I'm just a guy. I don't know how to word it. I'm just stuck. I know about Meds and Doctors & what does what, but I don't want any of that, I want to fix it without meds. Gaaaah, every day is dreadful. Wtf can I do?

- all commercials show men r the 1's who do not want 2 have safe sex (makes men look sex demons or sumtin)
- there is a thing as a woman's condom as well as other methods
- combing methods provide more protection (ie: condoms + spermicide)
- lectures, seminars, school talks etc always talk bout men putting on condoms women needing to respect themselves and not have sex, ok? so what men dont need to respect themselves????
- yes women DONT feel pressured into haivng unsafe sex, BUT SAME GOES 4 MEN ALSO, what? men shud be pressured? however men r not told that as often, um y not?
- input from both genders wud be great
- no sexist answers plz, ie: like "all men want is sex" or "women want 2 control men" they both BS stupid sterotypes

i think im starting to do some things i stopped doing after i moved. my sleeping patterns are wore than before. my eating habits change by the day. i have been more aggressive and depressed than normal, one day i even thought of killing myself just to end my pointless life. im so pathetic, every day i sit and think of the past and imagining how much worse it could of been, and when the future draws near i think of the worse thing that could happen. i just want to put an end to all this, i cant sleep, i cant have fun anymore. now all i do is stay home and surf the web or play video games all day. the past is becoming the present again. i was unhappy in middle school and when i started the 9th grade it got better. im in the 10th grade now and i seem to be in 7th grade all over again, im unhappy, angry, and i feel just so pitiful.

Just recently I was told I may have hemangioma of the liver. I had an ultrasound which showed a leison a 2cm. The doctor recomended I have a CT, but I am currently 4months prenant. Well the doctor didn't give me much info about what I have He just said to come back after I have the baby. Well I've done my own research and I'm a little worried because I've read the it can grow when you pregnant and there is risks of rupture. Well I've had pain in my stomache since before I was pregant, and I guess my question is: Should I be concerned or trust the doctor and not worry till after I have the baby? Should I find another doctor? Is there any more information I should know or that any one else can tell me? Thanks

I'm eighteen years old and I have a problem. I never feel happy or excited, and nothing seems to make me laugh anymore. I'm constantly tired and I hate doing anything even things I think I should love. I'm always irratible and I can never seem to concentrate. I have panic attacks(Iatrophobia and Mottephobia) and I'm very anxious though usually my body feels tired and relaxed. I hate leaving the house and even if I have a good time when I'm out and nothing goes wrong I have to relive every minute of that day till I drive myself crazy. I hate being like this but I'm scared to ask for help because I don't think anyone will believe me. I've tried very hard for the past nine years to just pretend everything is okay. I'm also affraid that if I do see a therapist that they'll want to put me on drugs. Lots of people in my family are bipolar or have depression disorders and have been put on medication and it has made them worse.

If anyone could give me any advice or suggestions.

Thank You.

I'm a second year special ed teacher, but am finding the demands of the job to be overwhelming. I love working with and teaching the kids, but unfortunately there are a million other aspects of the job that make it difficult to focus on this responsibility. I am in a district with very high expectations and feel increasing pressure to meet these expectations. I thought it would get easier as the year went on, but I am feeling more and more stressed. I am sick all the time (migraines, nausea, vomitting, etc.) and am beginning to have frequent anxiety attacks. For example, I have yet to get to sleep tonight (it's almost 12:30) because I am fearful of going back to school tomorrow after winter break. When I am there, I feel like nothing but a failure. Nothing has ever been so difficult for me. Am I just being lazy? Should I begin looking for a new job, or stick this one out? Help!

My husband has a Norelco eclectric rasor and his neck is always covered with razor burn. I keep telling him that if he used soap or something it would probably clear up, but he does not think that it is okay to use it with his razor. What do you guys think?

For about the last year and a half, any time I run more than 1/2 of a mile I start gagging uncontrollably. Deap breathing helps a bit but it doesn't stop it. It doesn't seem to be getting better the more often I run, yet it doesn't happen when I do any other type of exercise. This happens in any weather. I've never vomited so far but I am getting to be quite a spectacle in my PE class! I really don't know what to do, and I have a teacher who just tells me to go to the side and if I throw up then I throw up. Thank goodness I haven't, since I am extremely phobic of it. He won't give me any advice. Will eating/drinking more/less before class make any difference? Thanks so much!

Someone told me that this was possible, but I am pretty skeptical that it actually happens, since I've never done it or seen another person do it.

I thought it was a common term. To put it bluntly "Racked" = pretty much anytime the groin and associated parts get hurt... women are mostly immune to it, I think.

Walking twice as far, or running half as far?

I also heard that doing either of the above mentioned when it was cold burns more calories than doing it in warm weather. Is that true?

Typically, every antidepressant I have taken, except for a few, has caused me to feel very weak, my body shakes uncontrollably, feel lightheaded and I yawn constantly. I do have more energy yet I am also tired but cannot sleep. I was in another doctor's office, and my blood pressure checked dangerously low several times while on various antidepressants. My doctor said I had a hypersensitivity to SSRI's, which basically means they cause me to have low blood pressure. So now I suffer from depression all the time, for years I have. I have to take small amounts of any antidepressant and can never go up on the dose. Anyone have this problem and if so, is there another type of medicine to take that won't cause this? I really just want to know if anyone else has this same problem.

Where can I get it, how much does it cost, does planned parenthood really give it out for free?? Does it really make you gain weight? How long do I have to take before it comes into effect? Do I have to keep taking it or can I stop whenever I want??

Yeah, I'm completely clueless! Any other advice or suggestions would really be appreciated!

My friend is 27 and his sister 25. He is otherwise very fine but, very much emotionally attached to his sis. Calls every day over the ph. for hrs. etc. At home he hugs, kisses u know abnormal to a bro-sis at this age. (with no sexual inclination) Becomes restless if he can’t talk to her on any day. (His sis dosen’t like all these, but he can’t stop it.) Always feels like he is loosing her love. Insists her to share even her very personal matters etc. But I know, he loves her too much. I heard it is psychological problem – something called idipus or edipus or idepus (I don’t know the spelling) Can anybody suggest correct spelling n meaning? Please

okay i just posted a question about this and i have informed my husband several times that i can't orgasm easily...it's a well known fact. so well known that its basically just like "she cant come so whats the use in trying...i'll just get mine" hence what i mean by the selfishness. he always wants oral then intercourse then he comes. and he comes quickly too which i why stimulatin my clit while intercourse never works because he's done before i can even begin to get close....it seems hopeless...not to mention he hardley ever wants to do it anyway...i'm so frustrated.
