Health - 7 July 2007

I fell down and hit my head while watering my grass. I had an instant headache and now my head, neck and left shoulder blade hurts. Also I have 3 bruises which showed up on my leg within 4 minutes of falling down. The are accompanied by 3 hard bumps and they look like they are with the same blood vessel. I'm worried that this is going to cause vericose veins. What can I do to stop it? It is still pretty early being it was only 10 minutes ago, and I was hoping I could do something to stop it from happening.

I am 15 ½ years old. During 1st - 7th grade I was harassed and bullied. After 7th grade my parents sent me to a nearby school. Because of all that I went trough, it was hard for me to handle my anger. At the age of 10 I started biting myself. On March 25th of 2007, I cut myself. I am not sure why I did, but it was like an impulse. Then, about 3 ½ weeks b4 school ended, I cut myself again. The first time I told my best friend (who is going to be a Senior) b/c I thought she would understand b/c she used to cut. The second time, I did tell her and I knew that she was disappointed in me and she told me that she hates to see me like this and that I need to tell someone soon. This really scared me b/c I did not feel like I could tell my parents. At the beginning of 8th grade, I thought that I might be bisexual, then at the beginning of 8th grade, I thought that I might be bisexual, then at the beginning of high school I realized and accepted the fact that I was. And not to long ago I found

I don't have acne at all on my face. :]
The only place where it's at is..
Right under my neck, near the top of my stomach.
ON my stomach/abdominal area. It's really embarassing and disgusting for other people to see. But I like swimming shirtless, lately I've only been swimming with those swimshirt things on and I don't really like it.

I'll admit in the past I've popped some and realized the damage of scarring I've caused to myself..

I still have some appearing, what do I do to get rid of them?
It's just so embarrasing, AND ALSO, I've got a little more appearing on the back of my arm/shoulders/back.. :/
Help?

I need to shed some pounds but like many people, i get discouraged and lose interest when I feel that I'm losing pounds, then I weigh myself and notice I've lost little to nothing at all.

Any suggestions....good and bad welcomed.

about 6 months ago i guess, i was scratching my head and notices a lump on the very center of the top-back region of my head. it isnt the bump that everyone has at the back of the head where the neck and skull meet, its higher up.

i didn't pay it any mind at the time, i thought that maybe it had always been there. but i couldnt really recall.

recently my uncle had something similar removed from his head at the front region and it ocurred to me that i might have the same thing. it was a benign cyst and it was simply a growth of some sort, nothing harmful.

im thinking that i have the same thing, but im just wondering if anyone else has or has had anything similar to this.

thanks

p.s.: there no pain or anything like that, no discoloration, scarring, etc. just a lump under my skin.

Okay so, my mom has big boobs; she is a D cup. I am 12 years old and my boobs are just pointy nipples. Also, my grandma, aunts, and cousins all have big boobs, I don't have a sister though. Do you think that I will have big boobs? I don't know if I have started puberty yet but my doctor said that I'm still short because my body is busy doing other things like getting ready to start a period. I wear a padded bra, but I am afraid that I won't start developing until I'm older and have this padded bra cup size for a really long time. Help me?! When do you think I'll start developing? Also my brother didn't grow until high school but my other brother started growing in middle school. My mom got her period when she was 13. She is also very tall, and has been since she was little.


P.S. Please don't say anything like you are only 12 and all of that, just help me.

I'm sure I need anti-depressants, nothing else helps me, not even talking with councellors, but now I see that my depression is going critical. its going on from this winter and I'm doing worse. its not a phase. but I didnt lost anyone and nothing bad happened to me, its another reason for my depression but its a lot to explain.

so how anti-depressants works? when they have an effect? can I stop taking them after months or years? if I stop what can I expect? and what kind of anti-depressants are? are there any side effects? being more suicidal?

but I'm not suicidal, just depressed. I would just do some evil things, cause when I'm depressed, dont care about some specific stuff.

I recently read a book called "The Natural History of Rape" which proposes that men are predisposed to rape women because it is part of an evolutionary adaption for males to try to procreate with as many women as possible, even by force. As much as this theory hurts me as a victim, what I found most upsetting was how many men I know who, not only agreed with it, but also admitted to me that if they could force a woman to have sex and not get caught, they would probably do it. These men were insensitive jerks either. Most of them were regular guys just being honest about an aspect of male sexuality. But as a victim it makes me feel hateful towards all men and mistrustful of any motives they may have. I know I will never let myself be open to man but this commits me to a life of being eternally alone. Does anyone have any advice on how to recover from being a victim of a rape, how to regain your sense of trust and faith in humanity while also facing the ugly truth?

I have a friend who is 25 years old and she suffers from bipolar. The doctor wants her to take mood stabilizers which are a form of anti-psychotic drug. I don't trust many doctors because many drug companies cater to these doctors and treat them with expensive dinners and gifts. In addition, the the drugs usually have side effects such as weight gain or harm the liver. This girl has more depressive episodes than manic but I feel the L-theanine could calm her down then. Also, she knows she will 'get it' from her dad if she acts up really bad. Her dad still believes in spanking her and it seems to be effective in keeping her from acting up too much. I figure the L-dopa and L-tryptophan can help give her a boost in motivation and happiness during the depressive state. Any advice on what dosages to take or am I way off base here?
