I have a lot of friends at school but lately (and only at school, no where else) I haven't felt like talking to anybody. I just want to finish the day and leave. This just started happening to me a couple of weeks ago. I don't know if I'd associate it with depression though because it's something different.

I can't come up with words sometimes anymore, I know you just gotta be yourself and let it come out and blah blah but when it comes out it seems to come out at the wrong time or doesn't make any sense or I say it differently than I should have. When I say something I expect people to know what I'm thinking of sometimes even if what I said has nothing to do with what I'm thinking.

Seems more like I'm far away from everything. I think it may have to do with stress or something, like if something bad happened to me at school I'll start thinking about it all day and it bothers me. Is it lack of nutrition or something is why I may not be able to think straight?

My question is: is this legitimate? It sounds very phony. Thanks.

I used to enjoy running. I played soccer for years. I then suffered a couple of accidents while I was in the Army. I injured my lower back and torn some ligaments and tendons in my feet. I need a good cardio exercise i can do that won't cause me any intense pain. Ive tried treadmills and stairsteppers and they hurt. Does anyone have any good ideas?

hi there
i don't know where i developed this habit but for a few years now my lower lip has been in shambles. i pick at it because there is always skin coming off. it gets bloody sometimes and it seems like it's going to be permanently scarred that way because of what i did!
don;t even tell me about lip balms-i tried and tried. nothing works, or if it does it last a day or 2. then the layer comes off again and then i pick at it! ugh! anything out there that can really help me? i could stop picking at them if only i find a product that can help. when my lips are smooth they are so pretty, but that only lasts a bit because they start flaking again. socially it looks bad-sometimes i am embarassed to talk to people because of my lips. please help.

My daughter, 16, has had a swollen gland that keep recuring every 1-2 months. If we don't have it treated with antibiotics right away,it will affect her tonsils. It has done that two times and she DOES NOT want those tonsils taken out..lol Today I took her to the doc with a swollen gland again~no fever, no other symptoms, a little sore throat. He reccomends a CT SCAN?? I freaked out. I took her to the hospital, we agreed to have it done until we read about the side effects of the dye they use. My daughter was in tears. I mean I had lots of bouts of swollen glands as a kid and never once needed a CT scan. The doc said he was looking for an absess NOT any kind of cancer. But as my pharmasist said, wouldn't an absess to treated by antibiotics anyway??? My daughter and I are confused. What should we do?????

My best friend is getting married in late May and I'm the Maid of Honor I just had a baby(2 months ago) and my doctor has finally given me the okay to exercise I have been doing crunches,sit ups. lunges, and squates and I'm not seeing any difference after 2 weeks. I do 100 crunches and sit ups as well as 60 crunches and lunges a piece everyday and I eat a sensible diet I cut out all starches and sugars I only eat chicken and fish and my belly and hip fat has not even budged! (nor have i lost any inches in my waist) I still look like I'm about 4 months pregnant!

This is so frustrating being that this is my third child and I gained 50 lbs(the most I have ever gained in all 3 pregnancies) I am currently 5 feet and 167 lbs. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get back to my prepregnancy weight of 117?

Ok, I am trying to get help with my tooth situation so I am going to list my symptoms and hopefully some professionals can help me determine what it "could" mean.

1. Slight throbbing feeling
2. Sensitive to pro-long exposure to cold air
3. No tapping pain
4. No sensitivity to hot or cold liquids
5. There is a cavity present already

If a Professional could help me that would be great. I have an appointment in 2 wks with my dentist. Thank you!

Ok I'm 14 & I like guys alot! I've had crushes, b.f.'s, ect. & I think lots of guys are cute.

But lately I've been terrified I could turn out gay one day. I think its partly b.c I read so much about gay people in magazines & stuff anymore & they act like they can't control being gay. See, I'm the kind of person who gets really upset & worries about something all the time .. I'm never not freaked out. [I've concinvced myself I have a brain tumor, was pregnant tho I'm a virgin, & tons of other rare/impossible stuff. I think I have OCD w. worrying]

But anyways the only reason I could possibly think I was gay is that sometimes if I see a girl wearing a really skimpy bikini or something I get like this weird feeling .. not that I like looking at her [gross..] but juss like .. idk. But I have never had a crush on a girl or anything like that!!!!!!!!!!!

But ok if I did one day wake up gay my whole life would be ruined .. I couldn't get married & have kids or anything [to b continued]
