I understand that it's a mental illness by a chemical imbalance in the brain. What causes that imbalance and what causes people that have it to act so impulsively? My Mother has it and she washes her hands up to 50 times a day and obsesses about laundry and wrinkles in her clothes. She will wash clothes when they aren't even dirty. Why??

What are some of the best exercises to do on a stability ball for abs? I am trying to lose flab from having children, will doing this type of workout help? Yes, I know I need to eat right too! I only need to lose about 10 lbs, but the majority of it is in my belly and my hips and thighs. Any other suggestions you might have would be great!

Hello world
I used to use the batch remedies and the effects where, should I say amazing, I was more confident ECT but as soon as I stopped using it the effects eventually wore-off which was irritating. Would like to know is there away of making the effects permanent or is that impossible.

I’ve seen that doctors can surgically implant special contacts into someone’s eye. I would therefore assume that these special contacts can be colored, and thus it is possible to surgically and permanently change eye color.

Does anyone know anything about this?

Please don’t say natural eye color is beautiful and it shouldn’t be changed. Our natural body is beautiful too but people still cover it up… with clothes. Unless you’re a nudist…

I'm going to college in the fall and I have a list of requirements I have to meet for the college, shots that are required, but I'm 18 years old and I'm a young woman, and I was curious about all the birth control, cervical cancer, ect vaccinations/immunizations out there that every young woman should have before heading to college that will be the most protective and productive. Any advice on what I should look up ?

I've started out with eating a balanced diet, such as chicken, fruit, vegetables, and more. I can admit that I"ve cheated with eating "snack food" but not alot. I then have done like 5 or 6 hundred situps a day, and I've ran on a treadmill a few times, I've just started weight lifting and drinking some green tea. All and all I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong. I weigh about 250 and I'm about 6'0'' tall, and I'm 18.

I just my eybrow pierced, and there are blackish scabs forming around it. I am guessing this is normal, but in addition to that, a greenish bruise is now above my eyelid (not exactly near the eyebrow ring but sort of...). Is it possible that i did something in my sleep? Is this normal? Will it go away soon?

I'm really scared to tell anyone about my life - I have been bullied in the past by someone I trusted, and as a result of the bullying I just believe now that I am pathetic and should grow up. When I was 7 till 9 yrs of age I was sexually abused by my father, and sexually taunted by his friends, and then as a teen when I suffered clinical depression, slapped about by my mum. I lived in a mental hosp for a year, and during the summer term my brother Ian died, and I had a breakdown towards the end. Then a few months later I moved to a kids home after colwood mental hosp, and I havent seen my family consistently for a year and a half now. I have lost my long term bf since then, and HAD started drinking, and still smoke weed. But no one ever hears me complain, and if i do its made in joke. I am a teen i know, but im scared.. i know im not selfish deep inside, but i just cant cope with caring and losing ppl over and over...im getting so tired of life, as much as i want to live. help?

I have tried the following things to prevent this hence the picking of your brains:
1) Not eating from lunchtime onwards and running at seven
2)Not starting too fast
3) Not drinking any fluids during running or for over an hour before
4) Meditation for a few minutes before hand to tell my body that it isn't a habit (bit drastic but you know it is rather irritating and preventing my fitness from improving)
I need some expertise on this matter please

Thanks guys :-)

Sometimes I get a sharp sudden pain through my vaginal area, Its like a lightening bolt, then its gone. Sometimes it hits a couple different times, and other times just once. I only experience it once in a while. Does anyone know what this could be? Or does anyone else have this happen to them?

My mom wouldn't believe me when I said that I was allergic to apples. Then I got hives 2 years later being forced to eat them so she believed me. Then she forgot. She rarely believes me and thinks everything can be solved without the doctor. My dad might believe me, but how do you just bring this up? If I do it out of nowhere they'll be like whatever. And I've wierdly unsupressed a memory of trying to kill myself with a big knife when I was young. What do I do?
