My mom bought pineapple spears from Sam's Club and i ate about 2. After i ate it i got a weird feeling in my mouth. It was dry and scratchy. It felt like (still feels like) my whole mouth was is burning. This is not my first time eating pineapples, but this is the first time my mouth has acted strangely. Could i be allergic, and what can i do to stop the pain? Any tips would be grateful. Thanks!

i think it would totally destroy me....my soul would be crushed and my house of cards would come falling down....i dont own many material posessions, hardly any cept a computer, but if i lost that, i would be destroyed....im constantly worrying about this and that i dont own many material posessions...it scares me.
im a 30 year old borderline personality disorder living on welfare, waiting for therapy, so i cant afford much either....
living with insecurities like this is like living on a knife edge....

does anybody no how to get past this way of thinking? which is scary to me

This is what happened. My husband and I have been in a bad marriage for many years. But specifically, in Dec. he got mad at me because I did not want to go to a social event because it was the 3rd one in a row over the Christmas holidays. Anyway for the first time, he pulled me out of bed and said "you're going *****. I went and almost right after that I could not go to work. I was so depressed that i stayed in bed for 16 hours a day and only got up to take a shower and barely ate anything. I am still depressed. i'm seeing a psychiatrist. I know it sounds silly but could this have caused this depression, you know like a PTS disorder or reaction. We live together but don't talk to one another. I'm not sure I can return to work in Sept. I was substitute teaching 3 days per week.

Any comments or suggestions please.......I should mention that I am taking Lexapro for severe depression. I have always been depressed and anxious....but could this have pushed me off the edge??

my armpit hairs just started to be visible now that im already 20 yrs old cos im of oriental descent, naturally smooth, and very light-skinned. im thinking if having hair under my arms suits me cos part of me wants to take them out and part of me wants them there. Im gay, slim and muscular c though i kinda act feminine. so which do you think will be more appropriate, hairless pits or with har? tnx

I feel paranoid all the time. Like I'm being watched. Even if I'm alone, I'm always checking over my shoulder. When I see people laughing, In a way I feel like there laughing at me. I'm also very bad in groups of people. Like I need to get to a quiet uncrowded place as fast as I can. Hell that even happens if its just a few people. I know both of these give me anxiety. Usually my only mindset is getting out of there to somewhere secluded. Sometimes when its really bad (like in a big crowd) I actually feel like attacking people just to get out! I think it would be horrible if I did, but in the spir of the moment I feel like I have to. All I feel is an overpowering feeling of anxiety and having to defend myself. I've never hurt anyone though. But I defiantly think about it and feel it. I worry though it will get worse and I can't control it.

I don't want to be a bad person. But I feel like if I tell anyone they'll think just that or worse.
What should I do?

I'm 17. No medications.

i have been biting my lip for who knows how long and i bite constantly even now. i stop myself (like right now) but then i start feeling tense and anxious (right now!!!) as if i need to bite it. if i keep forcing myself not to bite eventually the anxiety goes away. but when i stop concentrating on biting 3 seconds later i find myself doing it again. i used to bite really deep and get sores and even numbness all the time. now its scar tissue and tough to bite and there isnt much fleshiness to bite a good chunk. once i bit my lip so bad when i drank cold water it felt like the water was running down my chin when it wasnt. it hurts but its a relief and i kinda like it. wow im biting again... ahhh this is bad. a week ago i bit a deep chunk and it got to be a sore. i try to remember to swish my mouth w/ warm salt water everynight to help it heal. since there isnt much but scar tissue i bite the cheeks, and nibble at the scar tissue, it doesnt hurt. im use to it? so, can i get oral cancer?

i'm trying to find the term for what some people call "the chills", as in, "it gives me the chills". it's sort of a spasm that people get in the spinal region when they get scared, or otherwise. i'm not looking for the "chills" associated with shivering or fevers. muchas gracias.

I get extremely nervious and anxious when I have to talk in class (im in college). Im taking a senior seminar now where class discussion is 30% of the final grade, but I just can't force myself to talk. There are instances when I know the answer, but I just can't bring myslef to talk. My pyschologist isn't concerned about this, but I am. Doesn't this sound like classic, text book anxiety, shouldn't my psychologist recommend seeing a M.D. or psychiatrist that can prescribe me some med or something?
