Is there a mental-health issue that is specific to highly intellegent people?
I know somebody who is a genius, but I have watched him dwindle everyday. He is approaching his 30's, and has no life.
He has serious problems "getting through" to people, and cannot find anyone who shares his passions. I know he has so much potential, but he is a flickering-flame about to go out.
He has fears that prohibit him from expressing himself, and he is extremly shy!
Does this sound familiar to anyone?

I am not diabetic that I know of, and it has been awhile since I've been active. I am 23 years old, 5'5", and weigh 225. I have a weight loss goal to get down to 180. My aerobic endurance is very low, however my strength is excellent. I get through my entire work out and the last set things start to get fuzzy. What would be the cause of this?

I am only 22 and these stretch marks really make my body look ugly. They are only on the hips (closer to bum) and I do not know what kind of treatment I should use to get rid of them or make them smaller. Any suggestions? I am 5'4 and weight 100pounds if that helps.

to be a man, in your experience? I know that one needn't be a jerk to be manly, but I am otherwise at a loss for good masculine role models. I know it sounds cheesy. But I am sick of looking up to athletes and musicians... what is a real man?

I have a serious problem with over-eating, and have for many years. It has come to the point where I am obese and must do something to stop. But I just don't have the willpower to stop eating so much, and I am too weak to do any excercise... I seriously consume about 3000 calories a day and get tired out just climbing a set of stairs. Please help me get healthy!

I just really started exercising a lot about three weeks ago........and I was suppose to start my period on the 15th, but I never did. I took a pregnancy test to just make sure I was not pregnant and it said I wasn't.......and I really did not think I was either. But I was just wondering if maybe since my body was not use to the extreme start of exercise if maybe that could be the reason why I have not started it yet
