I don't wanna seem like a racist. I'm the type of person who seeks answers to questions that I dont know answers to. I work with and have a lot of clients that are Indian(Punjabi) "most" of them smell similar. Can this be explained or am I just trippin'?

I have always been quite big chested which has made them droopy over the years. However from christmas and what not I've put on a bit of excess weight which I intend to lose. Was wondering.. will my breasts become saggier if my overall body fat was decreased, "firm up" and go down in size themselves or what? Thanks in advance :)

With so many options out there, how do I choose the right med? I have two cats and getting rid of them is not an option. However, they make my eyes itch and water, my nose stuffy, and I now even suffer from asthma. In fact, I've always been quite the athlete, but I can't even jog a quarter mile now without my inhaler. I never had asthma before I adopted my cats. I even experience itching if my cats lick or scratch me... like a little skin rash. I'm also allergic to pretty much anything else... dust, pollen, pollution... I was never allergic to anything in my younger days but now (I'm 20) it seems that my allergies are peaking. HELP! I want to breathe again.

A DIAGNOSIS OF BORDERLINE PERSONALITY DISORDER REQUIRES FIVE OF NINE DIAGNOSITIC CRITERIA BE MET. Cutting is one of the nine possible symptoms that can make up the five needed for a diagnosis, but it itself not sufficient to diagnose BPD. Cutting itself isn't enough to diagnose any recognized disorder. See here for more info: http://www.recoveryourlife.com/Self_Harm_Information/Self_Harm/Self_Harm_Myths/default.aspx

hi, i am a 20y/o male, i have suffered from bulemia for 3 years now and have the same old lack of confidencee in body image and self-esteem troubles. I am very interested to find out what sort of body appearance most girls prefer. I have lost weight recently, thoiugh want to out it back on, but have the obvious want to not gain fat at the same time, which is where my problem began in the first place, which was trying to put lean muscle on without gaining fat resulting in me becoming obsessed with calorific intake, PLEASE HELP ME!!

Ok... I'm 100 lbs overweight. I'm weighing in at 300 lbs. Ever since I stopped drug usage a few years back, I got really depressed and have gained 150 lbs. My doctor has given me an anti-depressant as well as another pill to give me more energy and keep me awake during the day and a lose of appetite. Now that I have this abundancy of energy, I am starting to work out and get my life back together.
This is my method: 1. Run/Walk (can't do a full mile running yet, but I am getting there) 1 mile each morning, once I get this down pat, I will increase to 2 miles.
2. No more diet sodas, juices, milk. Water only.
3. No more food... In a sense. I am only eating carrots, green peppers, & such. Nothing else. No sauce. Only munch on throughout the day. No real meals. Just a piece of carrot here or there.
4. Since I am not getting my full nutritional value, I am supplumenting that with multi vitamins.

So with this diet plan, is it possible to lose weight? And how much can I possibly lose?

I've been suffering with vertigo for about a year now. The attacks last about 30 minutes and I get them in bursts - ie I might not get them for a couple of weeks then have them daily.
I've seen a consultant and had a brain scan etc which was normal. There is partial hearing loss in one ear, but this is not believed to be related and the diagnosis was a "virus". This was made about 10 months ago and it has got no better.
I've had my eyes checked by the optician and there is nothing untoward with them.
I've been back to my GP (who has now advised me to stop driving), and asked whether it's my ears that are causing it or migraines. She said it could be either and gave me some drugs to prevent migraines.
I'm just getting nowhere with it and it's driving me insane. The doctor seems very casual about it on the basis that there is nothing wrong with my brain, but it's a horrible condition and I don't understand why it started all of a sudden.
Help!

Would you like to be my online therapist? I'm a ultra-jaded 16 year old who lives in a God forsaken country and i consider myself way too avante-garde for my age. My interests range from politics to eugenics etc. I'm having a hard time rationalizing and assimilating ideas into my schema. I have difficulty making friends and finding peers and I fear that this is hurting my psyche and stunting my develpoment as a normal human being. I sincerely ask for guidance.

Just post your e-mail adresses so that i can IM you.

I've been having alot of depression problems lately. These are the things i keep thinking of when i get depressed:

1) Life has no meaning, we all live and we die and then we come back again in a never-ending process.
2) No matter what you do, your gonna end up dying in the end.
3) How do we know everything humans have done so far is correct?
4) Whats at the end? How did we get here? Who made us and who made our creator?

Please help someone...this is really bad for a 17yr old.

I don't know how but I found that sometimes I can control when my period starts and finishes. If I get worried that I'm going to get my period, it comes and if I really want my period to finish, it does.

Has this happened to you?
