Has anyone here with depression ever had a spouse who seemed to just not understand? How in the world do you explain to them the extreme thoughts that go with this disease? How do you make them understand without taking everything so personally? I can't even talk to my husband anymore because I'm afraid of how he will react to everything. Or communication consists of fighting. I know it's mostly my fault, but how do I make him "get it"?

Bit worried about needles, don't care if there is pain after the jab, just hate the needle. I wan to know whether it goes in the arm as normal or in the leg, or does it have to go in the muscle.

Thanks

I noticed on the bill that I received from my sons Dr. that she charges a fee for injecting the shot ALONG with the fee for the immunization itself. The fee for poking him with the needle is $30.00 for one kind of immunization injection and $20.00 each for the other 2 injections. These injections were normal immunizations for his 15 month check-up. Is this fee a normal fee or am I getting ripped off? The doctor doesn't even give the dang shot, the nurse does!!

My teeth are in poor condition. The two front top teeth I have are about cut in half fixed with basically veneer but only like half the tooth not the whole front so you can see where the line is alot.. Also i have two baby teeth on the bottom that are so bad they will someday fall out because the root is going to get weak.. I go to the dentist ALOT to keep my mouth healthy.. I have fillings in almost all my teeth.. They say soda pop is the main reason for my problems.. Not so sure if this is true considering my parents both have bad teeth also... Anyway what can i do. I want them whitened and i want at least the front two fixed? Will this cost a mint or where can i go to have something done with minimal costs?

I woke up yesterday morning around 10am (after getting about 8 hours of sleep) and had an EXCRUCIATING headache...I stayed up for about two hours, ate something (hoping it would help), then took a shower (hoping it would help)...then went back to bed for a couple of hours because the headache just kept getting worse. When I woke up from my nap my headache was SLIGHTLY better, but still hurt a LOT. I stayed up for about another 3 hours or so (most of that spent in a dark room with my head resting on something), I took an advil migraine, an airbornes, drank tons of water and then I went back to bed and slept until 1am today. I drank tons of water, went to the bathroom then went back to bed (AGAIN!!). I woke up again around 6amish....I had to go to work so I got up and got ready...my head didn't hurt too badly right away. When I got to work it started getting a little worse...and now not even 3 hours later my head is just POUNDING again!! It is all over my head, making me nauseous, etc...

I keep myself in good shape for her. I go to the gym 3 times a week and walk every night. The walking is in large part for my own health but the gym is mainly for her. We both agreed that the others physical appearance was very important to us at the beginning of our marriage 11 years ago. Now she has three kids and while I do not expect her body should look like a 21 year olds (she is 32) but I do want her to get her breast fixed. She breast feed our kids and now that all that is over and we are not going to have any more children I want her to have the boob job. She is not so sure she wants to. Before children she was a 36b cup and perfect in my eyes. Now I have no idea what cup size but they do not resemble the pre-kids boobs I loved. Am I asking too much?

I used to not be able to achieve orgasm, and for a long time, I just wasn't interested in sex anymore. I have a new boyfriend now, and I must say that life has treated me VERY WELL after meeting him. Honestly, I am starting to feel that the process of having orgasm is more mental than physical, though.

I've been trying to figure out why I have some of the mental health problems I do. I seem to have signs of schizophrenia, but when I see or hear things, or get paranoid, or get convinced of things that can't be real (e.g. I'll obsess over the idea that people are reading my mind), I know they aren't real or rational. Is it really schizophrenia if you KNOW it's not real?

ok.....about two to three weeks ago, my boyfriend and i had a abnormally long sex session that left me pretty irritated down there and slightly torn, the area that was torn has healed and about three days after i noticed that there were a few small bumps on that exact area. i have been monitoring them and they have seemed to have gotten larger in size but have not spread nor do they hurt or discolored. I am slightly freaked out and i dont know what they are. the last time i had sex with some one other than him was over six months ago before i started dating him, and i know he hasnt cheated on me, so i dont think its hpv. anyone have any ideas?

OK, I am coming to terms with the fact that I am indeed depressed. I need to make some changes, but don't want to take anti-depressants. I am already on meds for migraines, and don't want to take more. I sleep a lot, have lost interest in just about everything, have gained weight, lost self esteem, lost motivation to do anything. I don't want to work, don't want to shop, don't want to do anything except lay there like a log. I can hardly get myself up on the weekends.

What can I do to stop this cycle before it gets worse, and demands medical attention? I want ways that are alternatives to prescription drugs. Or illegal ones.

I have struggled with my weight for all of my life. I have tried every diet but it never seems to work. One diet helped me lose over 50 pounds but I eventually gained all the wait back and some within a few months of me losing the weight. I am pretty young and I am 5-2 and over 220 pounds. I am seriously considering the gastric bypass surgery. If anyone has every undergone this procedure please help me. How long, in your case did it take you to recover ( get back to school/work)? Did the surgery leave permanent scars? Did you get nausea or find it hard to eat foods you liked before the operation? Was it worth everything you went through? Did you get infections or were in the hospital because of complications, what were they and how were they a hazard to your health. If you can answer any of these questions I would greatly appreciate it. How long after the operation did you see yourself losing weight and weight-related problems?

Let's start off with what I wear, I wear pretty tight fitting jeans, with panties, seldomly wear thongs/g-strings. And I usually shave "down there". However it was a week that I haven't done so, and when I was sitting, I hit a position where i felt like one of my labias got stung by something, the pain was very quick and felt a bit excruciating because of the sensitivity in that area. A few days have passed and now I have this bump there, it isn't a blister, so I've ruled out herpes. It is sort've purplish/pinkish in color, and is on my left labia, causing it to swell up. It was more "enflamed" yesterday because I had worn some tight pants, but the swelling has gone down drastically. Now that I've shaved all the hair off to prevent any more friction, it seems to be more sensitive and more painful with every wrong movement. Any help, females? I haven't got any insurance and Planned Parenthood's open/close hours coincide with my school/work hours. Please help!
