I can feel that depression is kreeping up on me. I am withdrawing from all friends and family and I want to be alone. I dont want any company and I dont want to speak to anyone on the phone. Instead I want to just sit at home alone and brood about all the negative things that have happened to me. How must prevent a total onslaught of the 'black dog'?

I am constantly being attacked by my husband, telling me how useless I am. In his eyes I cannot do anything right. Yet, my house is clean, he gets fantastic food every night. I am just not in the mood to entertain his ideals and problems. And I am not in the mood to entertain him sexually either.

I am looking at myself through his eyes, and there I fail miserabally. He is always knocking me.

Hello all, I am wondering what causes a blood glucose level to go sky high for the first 1 hour of a glucose test but then return to sensible limits by the 2 hour result. Is this diabetes or just intolerance?
I am 27 weeks pregnant.

No, i am not on drugs. Try it yourself. The longer you keep your eye closed and press on them slightly the funkier the patterns get.

Hey, Im 24 from canada, and i have depression. My last job was miserable, i would sit in a truck all day waiting for people to get hurt, long hours and no life, did that for 2 years. Right now I live with my boyfriend "ryan" of one year. Things arent that great with him, ive lived in this town my whole life and i am feeling the need to spread my wings...but im scared too. Why i dont know, but im more so worried about getting another job and a place to live in, i recently declared bankrutcy also, so im starting all from scratch. Im wondering though if these feelings of wanting to move is from the depression or are they real feelings and i should just go for it, leave my current bf and life to start another...this town is small and everyone knows everyone, i just feel like i need to try something new, im at my wits end, but i dont want to regret it, have any of you moved and it changed your life for the better?..or worse even

I got a pap smear last month, around Feb 13th or so. I've yet to get my results.

SHOULD I BE CONCERNED ABOUT IT? I'm kind of scared that they found something abnormal but then again, wouldn't they tell me right away if something wasn't right?

It's not fair, I eat really well with plenty of fruit and no rubbish stuff, I drink at least 2 or 3 litres of water a day and do a minimum of 5 hours exercise a week. I should be in peak condition and feeling great. I feel rubbish!! I don't do drugs, I don't drink very often so what's going on? I never want to get out of bed, my body aches a lot and my joints are in a terrible way when I do any exercise. I can't be ill because I've felt like this for YEARS!! Any ideas? (My GP is useless, by the way, he wont do anything unless I am actually in fear of dying of something)

Is this normal?

I had 3 wisdom teeth extracted about 9 days ago, and my bottom right last molar has the gums around it sort of sore and inflamed. I saw the surgeon two days ago for my follow-up checkup, and he said I was healing well, and didn't mention that it was a problem or anything, but I didn't specifically ask about it.

Is it normal for my gums to still be inflamed? I don't have a fever or terrible or pain or anything. I haven't noticed any blood or pus, which I understand would be common for an abscess. Should I try and see him tomorrow for an emergency?

I havd been Hypothyroid for 11 years. I was stable on a dose of 125 mcg of Synthroid for about 6 or 7 years, then my dose needed to be decreased to 112 mcg. My does of 112 mcg was stable for about 4 or 5 years, now all of the sudden I am once again in a hyperthyroid state. My TSH level was 0.01 uIU/mL, my T4 was 1.72 ng/dL, and my White Blood Cell Count was 4,100 (may/may not be related). My doctor lowered my dose to 100 mcg. I think that I was under a great deal fo stress both times when the dosages needed to be lowered. When I asked why my dose needed to be lowered my doctor said that I must be making my thyroid hormone now than I was previously. Is this possible, or could their be another answer? I am not totally satisfied with my doctor's answer.
