Health - 4 March 2007

I would like opinions on whether it's mental or a form of rebellion. What is it that made (makes) you do it? How did you manage to stop doing it?
This is important. I'm asking for a friend.

I am a 16 year old female. I was diagnosed with clinical depression a year ago, and I have been taking Zoloft(75mmg) for about 9 months now. I have had no problems with it until now.
Now, I cry myself to sleep almost every night. Things are good in my life right now, I mean besides the small problems obviously. I am in a good relationship with my boyfriend, 4 months now. My insecurities lead me, however, to always feel that he doesnt like me, even though he always tells me that he loves me. I know that this is the depression coming through, and when depression comes through I always read people wrong, and think that they are mad at me, or ignoring me, or being cold to me when maybe it isnt so. I wanted to get off my medication in the spring, but it doesnt seem that I can. I exercise everyday, I eat very healthily, and I want to know what else I could do to feel better!! I try so hard because this feeling that I have is just implanted in me and prevents me from enjoying life.

I know it is good to do all the time, but does it help with any aspect of your period, cramps and muscle aches or anything?

Usually somewhat genetic, appears at onset of adolescence & typically found on upper arms and thighs. My dr. has prescribed Aquaphor, scrubs with salycylic acid, and sun, none of which has helped too much.

Well, the first one I'm sure I could probably relate to a few women, but I think I may be more on the obsessive side. I'm constantly sucking in my tummy....like always...even when I'm alone...even when I'm about to fall asleep, and I purposely sleep on my stomach so that it doesn't hang out like when I'm on my side, even right now...the thing is..I'm not overweight. I'm 5'6, and weigh 126 lbs. I guess I just have low self-esteem...but I just wanted to know if any girls out there have that obsession. The second one I've heard is actually a condition called dermatillomania...also known as "compulsive skin picking". It's kind of embarassing, but I find myself doing it whenever I'm alone...and sometimes even in a public place when I feel no one's watching. It's not just on my face either..I have some pimples on my face so that really bothers me.I also find myself just feeling my arms,back,stomach,and face..and if I come across any kind of bump,dry patch,or scab..I just need to pick it.

I have to get all four of my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow. Here are my questions:
My family has a history of a kind of allergy to certain anesthetics. Is this common?
I want to be sedated for this procedure. Is this an option they give you or do you have to ask to be put out?
What is the dissolving material they make the stitches out of? It was used on me once and i had a reaction. They told me after they used it that the material was "cat gut" and I am allergic to cats. Is there an alternative?
And finally, will four days off work suffice? Will i be up and running enough on the 5th day to return to work when my job is talking nearly all day long?

Recently I notice that I cannot see my penis head. The skin seems to have closed up at the tip. I am unable to pull back the skin. Sometimes I urinate, I can feel the tightness. There is no pain though. Sometimes when I masterbate, there quick pain (does not last long though) ..the skin at the tip is almost closed and the penis cannot enlarge enough.
I am too shy to discuss this with my doctor.....

People say ive been getting skinnier and skinnier in the past month. I just dont feel like I need to eat. I can normally last about a day and a half before I eat or drink anything whatsoever. So basically im asking is it or isnt it anorexia?

still having severe chest pain, thought I had bacterial or viral infection but when went to emergency room they said i had no infections in the blood stream? Yet i know i had both a yeast/and urinary tract infection at the time. Does all blood tests catch all infections? or do they just do a test on one or two?
