All was going as normal, my breasts were a bit painful, getting cramps, but on the day I would have normally gotten my period, it didn't come, and now 5 days later I'm getting worried. Could I be pregnant????

I acted like I was happy for years, but in the past year I've gotten really screwed up. I get randomly sad or frustrated, and little things set me off (when I'm not PMSing). It got a lot worse last week when one of my friends said he "can't deal with me" and that I "act bipolar when I'm not PMSing." Since then, I can't eat, I avoid my friends, I constantly feel bad, I don't want to do anything, and I just hate everything and most everyone. I have frequent urges to punch random strangers (or friends) and to kick things. People try to comfort me, but I just run away or tell them I don't want to talk about it.

Some of my friends aren't taking my feelings seriously, because I have a reputation for being moody. It seems that, for people who call themselves my friends, they don't like me very much (they complain about things I do a lot).

Something that really disturbs me is that I'm alienating my friends and I barely even care.

(My family has a history of depression.)

As a growing teen, I need more sleep. I cannot go to sleep. I have to wake-up at 5:20 every morning and go to bed at 10:30. Besides getting more sleep, I can never go fall asleep. Things are always on my mind and I am so compulsive that it takes me like half an hour before I got to sleep.

I plan to go to bed at 9:30, but it takes me about an hour after I reach bed to go to sleep. I need to fall asleep faster and grow taller to get girl friends.

I do not see why people have to jump and say "just go to the doctor" and b*tch at people for asking a question health related on here. Do they not realize that before the internet, when people had an ailment they would get opinions from neighbors and other people etc. before going to the doctor? And do they not realize that most people need to be absolutely SURE before they go to the doctor, since health care is ridiculously expensive!

Seriously, even when I had health insurance I avoided going to the doctor as much as possible because I have had family members misdiagnosed so often, luckily they always went for second and third opinions before going under the knife, but it has send them to the poor house.

Anyway, people as health questions to get opinions before wasting their time and money! Plus, a lot of the oldest people always tackled their ailments at home or with a witch doctor.

Agree/disagree?

I workout every weekday (sometimes saturdays).
Monday: Chest & triceps
Tuesday: Bicep & back
Wednesday: Shoulders
Thursday: Legs
Friday: Chest & triceps again
Saturday: Biceps

as you can see im working heavily on my chest and biceps to make them big.
Now i heard if you are lifting weights for 30 minutes, anything after that is useless. i find this is bullcrap because some people take longer breaks in between sets, some take shorter.

I need help because I dont know when to stop working out.
Lets take my chest workouts for example.
I pyramid for flat/incline/decline bench starting at 145lbs x 10reps ending at 185/195lbs x 2 reps. then i will move on to flat/incline dumbell flyes. i usually do 3 sets of 10 for both incline and flat flyes. then i will do 3 sets of 10 for cable crossovers.

Am i working out just right, am i overtraining? please help me determine it.

I type a lot and every now and then my wrist will get sore. Now, its not like the other times.

The pain is in all sides of my wrist and I can't apply pressure to it or it'll hurt more. I can't pick things up, ball my hand in a fist and open a door that says 'Push' without feeling sharp pain. If I lay my arm down in a certain way, I'll feel a sharp pain.

My mom thinks that I have carpal tunnel but my friend thinks that I have pulled my wrist out of place since I slept on it last night and the pain worsened.

I know that a lot of people have sore wrists every now and then but I don't know if mine is normal.

When I fall asleep at night my legs go numb, then I can't go to sleep because it becomes uncomfortable. I have tried getting up and walking around but it doesn't help much because as soon as i go to bed, it happen again. Because of this I haven't been able to get a good night sleep in a very long time. I have had MRIs done, tons of doctors visits, even taken off hormonal birth control and nothing has improved. HELP, I don't know what else to do...and I'm tired. Thank you for your time.
