I need to find some good thought stopping methods. Usually it will be just a word or a phrase that keeps repeating itself over and over, but now it's about something else. What can I do?

I live in a dorm room, with 2 other roommates. Since the beginning of last semester, I have had problems with sleeping. They don't seem to be getting extremely worse, bbut everything I try does not seem to make them better. Let me explain the situation in my dorm room. Like I said, 3 people. Very small room. There are 2 lights, one overhead light, and one light over the sick and counter. These lights stay off at night once I go to sleep, but one of my roommates has a flourescent desk lamp that seems to light up the room like it is world war 3. He is also not the quietest roommate in the world. He tends to watch TV, albeit at a low volume, long after I go to bed.I use a face mask which I have purchased at Bed, bath and Beyond, and ear plugs, but they both don't seem to work. Light seeps in through mynose bridge, and the ear plugs only offer some relief. I can't seem to fall asleep. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything at all? I am running out of ideas, and becoming sleep deprived

Does deep tissue massage help break down fat areas, not remove it from the body, but help to break up "deposits", Has this been scientifically proven with results.
What exactly does this do and is it worth it to try ?
Have you had experience with this?

Thank you so much!

Is there any proof that heavy physical training can stunt a child's growth? I've heard this but never any actual science behind it.
For example kids that do Judo or Wrestling competitively, or track and field, or gymnastics etc. Or lifting weights at age before age 14? Will that activity stunt growth? Why would it assuming kid eats healthy and sleeps good.

I'm 15 years old. and sometimes I have a strong heart beat ( especially when I'm thinking and when I'm stresses) and sometimes I get it even when I'm normal. I have that sometimes once in 1 month and I went to the doctor and he said that my heart is fine . What do those strong beats mean?

scenario is that there is a girl with XY chromosomes and she's wondering why she's not having periods....

being a doctor you knw that she does not have ovaries because it requires XX chromosomes for ovaries to develop how would you explain to her that she has XY chromosomes instead of XX chromosomes...

or you might not want to explain this to her and just tell her that there is a genetic disorder in her and just avoid telling her something horrible and prevent further explaination....

pls give me a suggestion....

explain me your point of view and do not disregard future or present consequences if you lie to her or even if you tell her the truth...

thanx

I went to the Gyno and she thinks i might have Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (its a possibility but not confirmed. i'm gonna do blood work to check my levels.) I honestly think its stress but now she's got me all freaked out.

When I worked at an OBGYN office, i once heard from a patient that u can eat pickles through out a day (but not to make it the only thing u ate) and that would help get your missed/late period. I tried it once and it worked. Now that i think about it, i think its just to keep your mind off of your missed period and relax.

What do u guys think? Is there anything else i can try? Pls help. I'm freaking out.

Consequently, how long before you lose a pound of body weight if you restrict 3,500 calories from your diet? Just curious if it's immediate, a day, several days, etc. Thanks.

In the past I saw a commercial of an egg being fried with the caption stating: “This is what drugs do to your brain.” Can anyone explain in detail what drug and alcohol abuse really do to the brain and how it effects a persons moral reasoning or any other effect it would have on the brain. How does it effect the entire body? Someone once told me that if you take drugs it could stunt the growth of or shrink your sexual organs, is this true?

Im going on 16. i have basically quite rough skin with quite many blackheads on my nose and recently *gasp* on my cheeks. I thought my skin used to be dry but now its abit oily when i touch it (more oily on nose) and especially oily when i put on moisturizes and night cream. so is it good or bad now? Also, i only used to have pimples on my T-zone but now its more concentrated on my cheeks. help. is there something wrong with the products i use or is it just puberty? Does your skin type actually changes?

Everyday, i only use an exfoliator, cleanser and apply moisturiser straight away. will my acne problems be solved after i use a toner?
Im quite sceptical about toners as my friend says some can worsen your face? Is is better will no alcohol and how do you see if you have large pores. Thankyou!

I'm on the third time of the treatment of Accutane for my acne. I went on Acutane when I was 12, 14, and now. The same thing happens everytime. Accutane will make my Acne go away for about a year and then it ends up coming back to where I started before I took it. Bad acne everywhere. I use all kind of washes too. Any suggestions?
