So my doctor told my I suffer from anxiety..It's possible but the physical and mental symptoms just drive me insane..Maybe it's brain tumor..Of course, everyone thinks I'm crazy..I feel a little better when reassured but then I go back again to the same old thoughts..

Here is what I have:
Nonsense/racing thoughts
weak hands/legs
blurred vision
headaches/aches in skull
throbbing head
muscle jerking/twitching esp when trying to rest
nausea
Sometimes I can't find the right word to say or I say a word that I don't mean
I'm realllyy scared!!! Can someone tell me if this happens with anxiety?!?!

I have bad mold allergies, I have a swelled up arm to prove it. And other things like melons, trees except oaks, tree fruits, potatoes and more I think. No pet though. My mom had to get shots every week for her child hood and she is still getting over it. I don't want to be as allergic to the things but I HATE shots. Do I get them? I don't have that big of a say in my medical life cause Im still under 18 but I can tell my parents how I feel.Will I be tramatised like my mom? Or can I still take Binadril(spelling?) or claritin and which one is better for those kind of things? Sorry if these are stupid questions to some people. I also have to carry an epipen with me every where I go just in case.

after having cancer. I hardly missed any work during treatments & kept up with my responsibilities but now they seem to be trying to make my life hell. The stress that I am enduring now is worse than when I was fighting cancer.

What do you do when you feel depressed?? I only want people to answer if they seriously have ever been depressed, not just pious people who think they have the right cheeky answers. I get depressed alot but I do NOT want to take medication because then medication will run my life. I just want to be able to cope.

I am one of those types of people who has few if any friends, never had a girlfriend and never had sex. I'm in my early 30's, so I'm pretty much a loser by society's definition of a loser. I didn't choose the fear of social situations. I think that my uneasiness shows and people just don't want to get to know me so then I feel more depressed and a vicious cycle is created. I am an extremely lonely person and I feel as if everyone is better than I am. Maybe I feel that way because I really am a loser. I probably have about 50 years left on this earth. When I die and go to heaven, will all of these bad feelings I have go away and will I finally be able to connect with people there? I feel like nothing is ever going to change on this side of the grave.

My son will soon be 9, and we were told that he needs a palatal expander to help his crossbite. He has only lost 6 teeth so far. The orthodontist said that he would need the expander for 6 months, then would have to wear a retainer. He did not mention braces, but the office manager kept referring to the treatment as "Phase I" and mentioned braces a few times. Phase I will cost $1500 for this 6 month treatment. Do you think this is appropriate at this point?

Does anyone know of a specific case of spanking (with the had only) that has caused injury? Please, not like "yeah it happened to my friend once," but rather an actual, documented case. I'm having a debate, and this would help immensely! Thank you VERY much in advance, I can't find a case anywhere online.

I'm 13 years old, 5'2", and 113.5 lbs. I want to get down to 100 within a few weeks. Nothing seems to be working... i am really muscular from dance, and i work out 2 hours a day not including dance (i did this before i started to diet.) I eat really healthy (less than 1000 calories a day). I even tried going back to being anorexic...but it didn't work. Lately i noticed that the sides of my stomach aren't as trim as they used to be, but maybe i just have huge hips. Anyway, what am i doing wrong? PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know there is a urine test like Diastix that can check glucose levels but I don't know if that's accurate. I don't have medical coverage nor money to see a doctor. I work full time but all my money goes to my home, and to support my kids.

What im wondering is does Marijuana actually cause a physical need for other drugs, or is it a lie. Something inbetween?

I took this test:
URL of the test: http://www.4degreez.com/misc/personality_disorder_test.mv
URL for more info: http://www.4degreez.com/disorder/index.html

And it appears I have this score:
Schizoid: High
Schizotypal: Very High
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Very High
Histrionic: Low
Narcissistic: Moderate
Avoidant: Very High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-Compulsive: Moderate

Should I do anything about it? I am a successful IT Professional, by the way, so I am surprised about these results.
