Health - 15 June 2007

I've been planning this backpacking trip since January. I spent money on new gear, shoes, clothes, backpacking food. I've made lists, plans, printed maps, researched everything. My wife and kid are on vacation and I'm home alone and just like every year I'm just sitting here.The bag is packed in the other room. All I have to do is get it, get the food in the fridge, load the car and drive three hours to the mountains. I feel sick with anxiety, guilt, worthlessness. If I don't do this, then why do I pretend to love backpacking so much? If this isn't what I want then why did I make all these preparations? What am I going to do for three weeks if every day I could be backpacking but instead I do nothing?

I've been to the doctors the blood test show nothing is wrong, I've had an Xray , no arthritus.I wrap my feet in cold wet towels at night to help with the throbbing. I've been taking paracetomols and ibuprofen every evening, I've moisturised with peppermint oil.I've rested and raise my feet.When I get up in the morning I hobble around

Lately I just want to isloate myself from everyone...I was very sociable and I am really outgoing. But I just have too many problems with every aspect of my life..like family, they are too controlling (im 19) and abusive and it's mentally hurting me. Im badly depressed too. Then there is my bf..it's a long distance relationhship and it's really stressful...and then my personal life...I have an eating disorder :( and Im always sick....I just want to get the hell away frm everyone, even those I love. I just want to be on my own. alone. Just hearing another person talk makes me want to snap. People's presence makes me so angry I start screaming. Im so scared that the normal socialble me is turning into a psycho :( I just want to be alone...is that bad? I feel like I dont even know myself...and I want to be alone and learn about myself and see who i really am and see what i really want. But there is no way I can be alone, i cant move out..my parents wount let me.but I want to runaway soon.

I am planning to join for my MBA course this July and three days ago I have confirmed i am pregnant. Though I had shown some excitement etc when I let the news out to my bf (I thought thats what a girl has to do), I am concerned about the responsibilities and obstructions this would cause. Though I tried to talk to him yesterday about medical terimination of pregnancy, he seems to be against the idea. How can I open his eyes to the reality and show him that termination now is better for both of us and the unborn ?

For example, I am currently doing 60 minutes of aerobic exercise on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and lift weights for 60 minutes on Tuesday and Friday. My schedule will only allow 60-75 minutes/day to exercise. Am I better off doing 30 minutes of aerobic exercise and 30 minutes of lifting weights each day instead?

Almost 3 weeks ago I had one pulled out.It was horizontal and the dentist surgeon did a great job.After 7 days he removed the stitches but now there a quite wide hole in the gum.is it normal?Will it close by itself?It doesn't hurt but it's quite annoying after eating because I have to clean it properly.

Didnt really think about it before but I am constantly checking out throughout the day. I get so into my head and whatever I am thinking about that I forget that I am at work or school or whatever. I am constantly trying to find a place that will calm me down. How can I learn to stay in the moment? Especially when I am constantly avoiding feelings. I want to let them all out so bad but they wont come out. I cant heal if they dont. I cant take care of myself if they dont come out. I know these things cant be rushed but Im losing the energy to hold it together. How do I get these feelings out ?!

Every so often, my ankles and knees cramp up. This causes a lot of pain for me and sometimes it hurts to put weight on it. There is more pain in my ankles than my knees, though. Sometimes it happens to both ankles, and sometimes it is just one. Before I thought it might be just growing pains, but I am 15 and I haven't grown in awhile. Any suggestions?

I have been off of birth control for a year now
and my periods didnt start up again until a couple months ago.
(my periods used to be really irregular btw)
anyway, whenever I have my monthly it seems to be more of a brown color and not red like it used to be when I was on birth control.
It's not a heavy flow either.
Do you know what this could be?
I am trying to get pregnant again, could this effect this in any way?

I would use tampons but I'm afraid they might hurt so I'm really not sure what I'm going to do.

I am not even completely done with my period and I feel nausious. I have been getting this for about 3 months now but it is always about 2 weeks before my period and I get VERY nausiated and sometimes I even vomit. It lasts for 2-3 days and then just goes away. It has been bad enough so that I had to stay home from school sometimes.

What is going on? Is this normal for an almost 15 year old to be getting? And how do you stop it? It is bad enough that it screws up my whole day and ruins my plans. I just feel terrible.
