so, i have almost gotten over my grandfather passing, and one of my neighbours, then now, a few days ago, one of my friends committs suicide...i wish i could have helped her, i asked her what was wrong so many times, and she just didn't want to talk about it. i hate myself for not stoping her, or even taking my inquiring to what was wrong, on a higher level.
then, ontop of that im trying to put my past behind me. i was molested by my cousin from when i was 6 until i was 14(when i first got my peroid) and i am currently 18....ahh...i should hate my life right now....all the crap ive been through, ive really tried to put it all behind me, but right now, as of current events its comming back into my face. i have to be honest, i have tryed to hurt my self before, when i was extremely depressed, but i got out of it, i just wish my friend could have confided in me, instead of going to the means of dealing with her problems like she did.i would give anything in the world if she was here now

Help me stop the scratching!!! I have about 30 on my right leg and about 27 on my left. I was out in the garden picking some weeds, and I came in the house with red spots all over my legs. The next day, they turned into bug bites, and they itch terribly! Do you know what bug they could be from? And how do I ease the itching? Oh. The bug is not a mosquito because we dont have them where I live. They are some little bug I guess. Thanks for the help!!!

I've been experiencing lots of gas in my stomach as well as bloating. I'm belching all day long and my stomach gets as hard as a rock. I don't have pains, but I do have nausea. Sometimes the gas is so bad I just want to vomit. Furthermore, my stomach is so swollen people are now asking if I'm pregnant! (Of course, they should know that if I were, that it would be my lower abdomen that would be big, not upper.) I don't know what to do. I haven't gone to the doctor yet because, honestly, I no longer have health insurance. I'd like to find a strong and effective over-the-counter medication that works! I've tried Gas-X and almost everything else, but NOTHING works. I do have some Zantacs around the house and am wondering if these will work for gas (I'm aware they're taken for heartburn). Anyone have any advice? I'm willing to pay more for something that'll work. Please help! Thanks.

I am very fair skinned and have had several broken capillaires on my arms and one by my eye for as long as I can rememer. Recently, more have been popping up. I notice the new ones after times when I have gotten really upset and have been crying a lot. Some of the older ones are also now speading. They aren't incedibly noticeable to other people, but they are unsightly and really starting to upset me.

Is there any way to reduce their appearance and/or help prevent the accurance of any new ones?

Are there any products that will successfully cover them? My regular concealer barely lessens the redness.

I read somewhere about Vitamin C helping, but my moisturizer has it, and I always use sunscreen...so I don't know.

Hey,
I've recently been informed that i cannot get a Piercing or a Tattoo by my Doctor as i have a 'Hole in the Heart'
And can honestly say i don't know much about it, except for the fact that if i got a Tatt or a Piercing it'd be dangerous as my body would not be able to fight infection, and could cause a possible fatal result....However being a stupid prat like i am i want a Piercing :D
And obviously i wouldn't get one if it meant 100% fatality, However i would like to know the Following on the subject:

''Is there ANYTHING i can do that would drastically lower or even prevent the chance of it being fatal towards me?''

Thanks for reading ya'll :D

My dad died in January of 2006. We were close especially after my mom died in 1993.
I had to put dad in a nursing home in 2002 because he was too much for me to take care of and I had to work full time to take care of my kids.
I was crushed when he died. It doesnt matter if your dad is 25 or 95, he is still your dad.
I have saved his clothes in my closet. Today while I was going thru a box, I found the last pair of tennis shoes he wore at the nursing home and I cnnot bring myself to throw these things away. I still have about 6 shirts hanging on hangers above my computer.
Am I normal. Should I just get rid of these things? Do you think I should get into some kind of greif counseling or is it normal for some people to do this? He helped me single parent my kids and was all my emotional support for about 17 yrs while I was going to college and trying to get my life together after a terrible divorce.

My cousin told me to ask this because he has not gone to the dentist and he has to go soon, but he wants to know if something is going to happen that he should be prepared for. He brushes his teeth daily, but they are not the whitest teeth.

My doctor switched me from percocet to vicodin because the percocet dosn't work for me anymore since I have been taking it for a while.

My question IS :: If my body dosn't feel the percocet anymore why would switching to vicodin be a idea? He said its two differen't chemicals and my body will feel the vicodin since I have never used it before.

Is this A true statement?

About a year ago I had one of my front teeth root-canalled, the dentist said my sinuses got it infected, he gave me the root canal and put some kind of metal bar in.. it hurts every now and then, especially recently, my nose is really puffy and I can feel it swelling.

Is it possible the procedure was done incorrectly?

what should I do?

So I am about 14 and am 5.3 and at 160 pounds. I've been trying to eat healthier and less and i did pilates but i don't know if I should even right now since I need to lose fat first. Then I did cardio for at least 30 minutes a day (but I have to do it in the house so I did like jump roping and dancing) I did exercising and cardio for at least 30 minutes a day and ate less and I don't think it even helped and I was working hard for like two weeks. I'm the biggest kid in my family and they tend to make fun of me when i work out and stuff. Nothing's been helping. Can't have special diet foods or workout dvds and can't go outside much. I just don't know what to do and I have like a ton of jeans in my closet that sit there and I can't wear them anymore. I want to lose weight and get skinnier but the start of school.

Please help me! I have no idea what to do to get results fast! (and I always get even more discoraged when I don't)
