Fell like I am losing it sometimes but also going through a lot of problems...

I am going through a divorce because my husband walked out on me for someone else
I am going through a brutal custody battle
lost my job because I cant afford daycare and ex wont pay child support though ordered to
living with my mother who treats me like I am 10 (I am 30) though I know she loves me
living with step dad who doesnt care for me or my kids
cant live with dad he is in prison

symptoms...
tired
sick
cant stop eating sweets..overweight
feel like i dont care
I think about the past a lot (when I was a teenager)
I dont feel very close to my kids like I used to
My thoughts are vague and surreal
my memory is shot
I dont take very good care of myself.
I take care of my kids but I feel like I am just going through the motions
I enjoy writing but that is about it
I kind of feel like I am in a dream most of the time

What could this be? How do I get back to my old self?

I had an IUD put in Oct. of 2006 and recently have started hurting really bad. Sort of feels like premature labor pains. Has anyone ever had this happen to them? ...and if so what could be going on?

I started my period 3 days ago. Since then I've noticed that I have become increasingly bloated. It's gotten to the point that my larger pants (1 size bigger than I normally wear!) will not button. I normally have a little bloating but nothing this severe. I'm not in any pain, and other than a little cramping now and then I have no other symptoms.
I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) so I am on YAZ birth control pills. I have been doing fine for the past 7 months on them and never really had any problems. Could they have something to do with this?
I am in between gynecologists right now, otherwise I would call their office.
Is this something I should get checked out? Is there anything I can do to stop the bloating?

Is it possible to throw up pieces of the lining of your esophagus? Skin-like material that can be stretched that is shaped like long nails with round edges that haven't been interferred with by acids? It's obviously not been chewed down because it came up in perfect condition. Or is it the from the lining of the trachea? I know when you throw up that it doesn't come from the trachea, but I am curious to find out. Or does it have to do with tonsils or the glands?

My December period was about a week late (started beginning of January 2007) and extremely heavy and painful. My January period has not come, and it is now Feb 17th.

My period normally comes around the 26th +/- a day or two.

I have taken about 4 pregnancy tests, 1 was at a clinic, the other 3 were at home tests. They were all negative.

This morning I woke up with a bloody nose.

I understand that I could still be pregnant, but how soon until a test shows a positive reading. Is the nose a sign or something I should be worried about?

Also, could I have been pregnant before the late heavy period?

Thanks!

Okay my friends is getting skinny fast. She has always been slim but not like she is getting now. She never wants to eat at lunch. She always says she ate a big breakfast and she needs to study. I talked to her brother and asked him casually what does she eat for breakfast and he says nothing. She is always doing exercise more than she needs. She freaks out if nothing is prefect. She always overloads herself with work whether it is from work or school. She is about 5'9". I made her get on the scale the other day and it said she weighed 108. She told me she wants to get down to 100 and she swears she will eat normally again. I don't belive her and she told me not to tell anyone esp her parents or she wont be my friend anymore after 10 years. I really dont know what to do. She is a really good friend her mind is just fried at the moment. I think I should just tell and hope she will will forgive me later on? I just don't know how to approach her parents. They think she is perfect?

I am 5'3" and a healthy size 6 at 140 lbs. In the past year and a half I gained a lot of weight. I currently weigh 180 lbs. College does that to you! I am beginning a 14 day fast of only water. On the second week I will also begin an hour of cardio a day (I know this doesn't sound healthy at all). After the 2 weeks I will begin healthy and balanced diet. I know I will gain some of the weight back at this point. But I want to know this - What can I expect to weigh on the 15th day?

My co-worker at the office is eating only 800 calories. He is in his 40's, moderately active. He is not seeing a doctor. I am concerned because that sounds like a very low calorie plan.

I have no problem falling asleep, or staying asleep. This is just some, "tips" to make sleeping more comfortable and whatnot.

Just little things like someone told me to use a pillow under my feet aswell and that was pretty cool. So if you have anything else plz share.

I am 30 yrs. old and I am out of shape. I just bought one of those elliptical machines and want to get back into shape and also lose about twenty pounds as quickly as I can while still playing it safe! I weigh about 140 lbs. now and want to be around 120 - 115 lbs. I need to know if anyone has any suggestions as far as how long I should use the machine for if I am going to use it every day to be able to achieve these goals.

Sometimes, just when i'm about to fall asleep, I hear a moaning sound when i exhale, like my body has suddenly relaxed. I've noticed this over the last three months. I snore terribly and have sleep apnea, but this is relatively new. Is there a name for this.
