Health - 29 April 2007

I got accepted to a decent university and went to a lesser one. I was interested in a degree in sciences/math but got one in literature because it was much easier and i just gave up. Especially after I failed 2 computer science classes - one of which I thought I had dropped. When employers look at my resume they notice that my interests seem quite different from my area of study. I still imagine what I'd have liked to study if I had a chance to go back and do things differently. If I start to work on another BA now, at 28, that would just be odd and I would mostly be doing it because I feel bad about my past. My career interests don't require getting a masters degree or higher. Ever since I graduated I haven't worked much except at embarrassing/low paying jobs and I've been severely depressed for years. Can I ever feel any better about myself or am I doomed to be miserable?

I would like to lose the weight that I have gained over the past 6 months..I really hate it! I've been working out at home for the past 2 weeks (using the Bowflex and NordicTrack) I never use to excersize so its hard for me to find motivation to do it 4-5 times a week.

I want to know, has anyone used either of these things? How much did you lose? Any other tips are welcome. Also, I am not eating meat anymore (I hardly did any way) Im going to try all veggies and the occasional peice of salmon or tilapia (wild not farm raised) and for protien I LOVE PEANUTBUTTER..haha. So any one who has had success in losing like 15 lbs your feedback is wanted! THX

i'm being attacked by flashbacks and horrific images in my mind... i've tried to stay busy today... took a bike ride, took a bath, etc....
i recently started seeing a new therapist and i'm wondering if this is what is making it happen, or happen more frequently...
i haven't slept through the night in over 3 weeks because of nightmares and now these things are attacking me all day too. i feel like i'm being trampled by heavy darkness.
any suggestions?

How come some people can lose weight so much easier than others? And how come guys tend to lose faster than women? What types of exercises are scientifically proven most effective in builing muscle and burning fat? I have heard resistance is more effective than cardio. What would be some good resistance exercises to lose belly fat?

Okay yesterday afternoon I was playing basketball outside in my backyard just shooting hoops when I was about to shoot and my ankle twitches or something and I go bending down to the ground with pain shooting thru my ankle.
Now last night I put ice on it and elevated it in bed but this morning it still hurt to walk on. It hurts to put weight on it when bending your leg at a angle like when walking. And when I walk I have to limp because it hurts when I walk on it. I mean I can stand and everything but it hurts to move it like when walking. And I feel warmth on it sometimes.
I have to go to school tommorow and I have a feild trip Thursday and gym Wednesday.
If it still hurts tommorow should my mom take me to the doctor?
And at school should I wear like :

I'm 15 years old and I think I might have PMDD. I've looked at a bunch of websites dealing with it and I have many of the symptoms, though my mom thinks that it's a big piece of crap and I don't have anything wrong with me. How can I convince my mom to at least make sure with the doctor?

I have recently found out in my adulthood that I have new allergies. i am allergic to pinenuts/walnuts and also have asthma attacks from certain fumes, like home cleaning products and sprays. I also get a numbness in my leg sometimes, that is also new to me and I haven't gotten it checked out yet. Could these things be a concern for getting General Anesthesia for gall bladder surgery?
