I will shortly be meeting my ex for a drink. She ended things 1 mth ago after going out 9 mths on the basis her feelings had changed. This coincided with her suffering from depression. She also suffers from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

She raised the issue of us splitting and I said to her I thought she was depressed (she has a history). She admitted she was & went to the dr who prescribed prozac and counselling. 1 wk later she said she wasn't depressed, didn't need counselling and it was our relationship causing her unhapiness. We broke up.

I didn't contact her to give her space. She contacted me recently on the basis she owed me money. I said to not worry about that. She then said she had a dvd of mine which she could bring round if I wanted. I wasn't sure what to make of her contact

I decided to ring her to chat. We have now agreed to meet. I am not sure what her intentions are?

I do miss her & want to be with her but am not sure how to go about it witout scaring her off?

I refuse to run in my neighborhood because my mother-in-law runs all the time and she's been attacked by three pit bulls during her runs.

Please help me get my heart pumping w/out equipment!!!!

i keep hearing all the benefits green tea can have on your body. does it have to be the green tea that you brew yourself from a tea bag or can i buy bottled green tea (such as diet lipton green tea) and still gain the same benefits.

I understand a root canal has 2 parts. The Part A where they extract the nerve and Part B the Post & Crown. They have already extracted the nerve, so Part B should be relatively painless, right? since they are cementing the post to what is left of my tooth. I am petrified of the dentist and I wanna know if the worst is yet to come.

I have been on a diet / healthy eating plan for 3 weeks now. Im not going silly - just cutting out crisps chocolate and fried foods. And eating 5 portions of fruit n veg per day. Drinking 8 glasses of water and having fish 3 times a week. I don't naturally eat a lot of potatoes or pasta and so I have kept this the same.

I just feel really bloated all of the time and my clothes are getting tighter - not looser !!!

Could it be water retention ? and if so what can be done about this. I don't want to reduce my water intake as it is important to consume that much water.

Please help - Im starting too feel like a balloon !

I know that some people like to use the Avon product skin-so-soft as a mosquito repellent. My question is this: Which skin-so-soft product is the one to use for this? I see they have bath washes, bath oils, moisture lotions, and etc. Which one of these is the one that works for repelling? Avon has many products in the skin-so-soft line to choose from. I also see that they have a skin-so-soft bug repellent now. how do these smell? do they smell like other bug repellents, which is awful in my opinion?

I'm only 21, yet my hairloss occurs at an alarming rate. Now, I have a noticable bald patch, and my hairline is extremely high. I definitely want to say I am used to it, but the truth of the matter is no matter what, I feel extremely self-conscious.

I have tried using hairloss shampoos and lotions before, but have now stopped since I find them to be ineffective. I am a medical student, so I have done enough researches to know all of the predispositions to hair loss- stress, unhealthy diet, etc... And I have tried my best to avoid them all, to no avail. Of course there's another factor I can't beat- Genetics. Since both my Grandfather and Father have baldness too.

I would like to know if there are anyone out there who had the same problem and are on treatment? And wether the treatments are effective or not?

I am a male to female transsexual just starting hormone therapy. My emotions have really escalated since I started treatment and I now find that I cry at the silliest of things, or laugh hysterically at things that may not be that funny. I am loving the physical changes, but I did not expect to be on such a hormonal roller coaster ride. Do women experience this on a regular basis, or will things level off?

My EX told me that he never loved his ex (the relationship right before ours) -- and they lived together for 4 years! How could he have never been in love with her (cmon, 4 years?!)? I should've seen that as the biggest RED flag ever (but I didn't). Before her, he said he never had a relationship that lasted more than 3 or 4 months. I was with him for nearly two years, and he never once said he loved me. I know now that he didn't. What is wrong with this guy? Seriously, what do you guys think is psychologically wrong with him? He told me several times that his dad never loved or respected him (but did love his other brothers -- but he was close with his mom.

my exboyfriend of 2 years was very depressed for over a year of our relationship.he began taking antidepressants & within weeks his personality did a complete 180. he broke up with me impulsively, then the next day acted as if we were still together,& within days he asked me back out,then just days later, he dumped me again. just days after that he went around telling any1 & every1 that he was "going 2 get laid" over the weekend (even though he and i never had sex)& he went through 4 girls in just 4 weeks of being single.people see his behavior&believe that he is bipolar and that his antidepressants triggered his depression into mania. however recently, he hasn't looked as jumpy as he first did after the break up, and he's sort of settled down but still goes out of his way to get my attention (blocks me on IM for no reason, cuts me off in the parking lot) i'm just wondering, if antidepressants trigger people 2 go manic, how long usually until they switch back to the depressed state?

I fell yesterday and my feet are pretty bruised. They were swollen yesterday, but not at all today. However, walking is kind of painful... I'd hate to go to the doctor just to have them say that there's nothing they can do for me.

Are there specific things I should watch for? Or a certain amount of time I should stop being in pain?

Thanks.
