Health - 26 March 2007

I am only thirteen, and about a year ago I had this ‘episode’. I live in the country and I ran out in the pasture in the middle of the night. I was out there for over eight hours. When I came back, I told my mother everything, but she just wrote it off as nothing.

I looked up the symptoms I experienced and I found that it was hardly ‘nothing’ as my mother had said. But I didn’t want to push the matter, for I really did want it to be nothing, so I kept quiet, even though I was still going through these… things.

All was fine for a while, until two months ago. Although this time, I hurt myself, and my sister. And I am frightened that I will do it again.

I feel as though I am a threat to myself and others. But whenever I try to speak to my mother about this, she changes the subject or cuts off the conversation abruptly. I think she is afraid that once a psychiatrist tells me that there is something wrong with me, that she will have to face it.

Is there anything that I can do?

First, I was wondering if an insurance company (I have Healthnet) would cover it?
I want it for hygene purposes- no matter how hard I try, it never stays clean and it smells, and also because after I pee I also get a few drops that fall afterwards which is annoying.
How should I approach my parents about this?

Almost a year ago, I feel into a suicidal depression. I finally started to get out of it in October/November wen i meet my current boyfriend. I finally got some therapy in October and went only twice. She said i was depressed... But then i started feeling alot better and starting to sleep well again and not hurting myself, I stoped drinking.. All my symptoms started to disapear. She dropped me a few months ago becuase i wasnt coming often enough.. The problem now is im starting to get these problems again, Cant sleep, always tired, not motivated, feeling suicidal, always sad... My boyfriend doesnt believe me, hes never there for me and i mean NEVER,... what do i do......
I seem to get depressed over the summer becuase i loose contact with lots of my friends and im left alone to thing about all my thoughts.. But its become suicidal the past year in the summer..
Im only 15 almost 16 btw.

toning your shoulders and chest area? I've lost all the weight I need, but I have very "european" looking shoulders, they're broad..and I can be very insecure about them. I go to the gym everyday, does anyone know of a specific machine I could incorporate into my daily routine, that will help target that area? I know I can't help having broad shoulders, but I think I could definitely tone them up a bit to make them look better...thanks in advance everyone!

i personally don't drink them, but most people i see at star bucks are fat. 1 of those cups of coffee carry more calories than a meal. I think that is a primary cause to the obesity in the U. S.. I've came to this conclusion due to the companies popularity if you look at how many people go there regularly (it's sort of like the liquid Mcdonalds)! Opinions?????

I tend to spill protein due to nephron damage from recurring stones and kidney infections. Haven't had a problem in 8 months or so, now after I work out I notice a large amount of protein in my urine for 2 or 3 days after I work out. I know it's normal to spill a little protein after a tough workout but this lasts for several days. Am I being too tough on damaged kidneys? Is this worth a trip to my nephrologist?

I spotted earlier this month but got no period. Right now Im having the worst pain of my life. I got pain spreading from my ribs on my left side and now it mainly hurts in my lower stomach area. Im in alot of pain. I was keeled over during my lunch and it hurt me to walk all day. I drank a lot of water and felt better but when I got home from school I was exhausted and slept from 3:30 untill my friend called. A hot bath hasnt helped and Im in agony when I move. Im not sexually active either. What could help me?

This happens almost every night now. I woke up once or twice finding myself gasping for air. The most scary part comes after that. My heart beats so fast and I feel like it seems my soul is being pulled out forcefully. I feel like I'm dying. But this happens pretty quick less than 2 mins. Then after that I can sleep normal.

Right now I think I'm overweight. I don't do exercise. It's been years, my last work out was probably a few years ago. I started my diet last week, but since last weekend was my bday, my diet plan has been nothing but a total mess.
Here's a bit about me:
M, 5'10, 183 lbs.

Do you guys have any idea whats going on?

i went to a derm 4 years straight. my acne just got worse and more irritated. i went through practically everything on the market (lots of antibiotics, creams, birth control). yes i did use proactiv and acnefree before.i even did glycolic peels and a photodynamic therapy once. after doing that photodynamic therapy once, my oily skin became extremely dry, red, and flaky. i stopped seeing a derm 5 months ago and didnt use any thing except cetaphil on my skin. my skin didnt change.

anyway, point being, i accepted my acne. two derms said i could only take accutane or that laser as my only options left. there is no way i am going to risk my health (accutane) for a petty thing like acne. i went to a facialist two days ago and they gave my creams which has greatly helped my skin with dryness. my dad however, said my skin hasnt improved and if it doesnt get better in one week, he is going to call up the derm. he said i cannot accept my acne.

i dont want to go back to a derm.
