okay, so last month i first experienced a very light period which isnt normal for me, followed by very dark brown discharge. during that time & now I feel tired & emotional, crying over stupid things. I took 2 pregnancy tests and they both came back negative so thats ruled out. also, I have increased stomach acid & yesterday & today I experienced lower back pain when I bent down to pick something up, Im always bloated & my period started this morning very heavy so I cant be pregnant. so whats up?

My girlfriend and I discovered that her brother is addicted to crack. When we confronted him, he said that his addiction started when his parents got divorced last year. My girlfriend wanted me to help his brother to undergo treatment as early as possible.

I have heard this "cold turkey" wen I was looking for ideas on how to quit smoking.
What is cold turkey? And any suggestions for me to quit smoking please? I prefer suggestions that do not involve nicotine gums or patches or any such tertiary stuff.

I have been smoking for 8yrs now. I smoke 8-10 cigarettes a day. It used to be 10-15 wen I worked night shifts.

I even tried to quit totally once and I went into depression. But then, I had no job either and that was nagging me. But now I have a good job and still can not quit smoking. Everytime I try to reduce, I miraculously meet smoker frnz and start smoking.

But 1 thing is for sure-

I WANT TO QUIT SMOKING.

HELP!!

I have had major and severe depression since i was 7 years old. I can't take it anymore. I feel like no one really cares about my feelings. I feel like people don't really want too hear about your pain, as long as they don't have to feel bad, they don't care. I feel like people want to excuse my problems and me away, so they don't have to think about it. I feel like people only want me to stop hurting so that they don't have to feel bad too. People will disregard my emotions, and tell all the reasons i shouldn't feel that way, but i do feel that way. I feel like everyone is innately selfish to a degree and only want to help others to make themselves feel like the better person, not because they truly care about that persons wellbeing. Can anyone provide me a reason to believe that this is not true. And can anyone tell me why it would be worth it to live out the rest of my life with dehabilitating depression. I fail to see a reason to continue.

ive had a coil fitted, after being sterilised, to slow down periods, i had it fitted about 2months ago now, but seem to be very emotional, where as i never used to be like this, i was wondering is it due to the hormone that is in the coil (iud) or is it something to do with being sterilised?

What can I do for this?

I try to stay away from most meds, (because I am very chemically sensitive)

I have PCOS, could this cause it?

any (serious) feedback is great

I'm not depressed I just feel very edgy, lose my temper easily and overreact to things. Please don't tell me to go for counselling!

I'm taking 5htp at night plus Valerian and Rhodiola Rosea each morning.

I need something to help me mellow out!

I don't do prescription drugs because of the side effects.

Please don't suggest hard drugs.

Hiya, like most women i am fed up with periods.... although it is a relief when you get them.

I am on microgynon at the moment but i am considering going onto the injection or the implant. My main concern is that it might not work for some reason and then i wont have a period to alert me soon enough? I am also concerned that if i choose to have children later on in life it might somehow affect my fertility. I went on the injection once and i didn't have a period for a year, even though it was only meant to be 6 months.

I need sensible mature advice please

Thanks

i have 2 sets of friends, one group is really outgoing, loud & basically really cool, if u saw them in the street u would want to be their friend too. when im with them i like it, i feel like im cool & outgoing too, but im not, im actually the quiet one whenever we hang out. My other group is more quiet, not geeky, just normal, i feel comfortable with them when were just hanging out on our own, but when we go anywhere in public, i feel shy& pretend not to be. The two groups dont hang out with each other, im the one in between.
When i started highschool i hung out with the quieter group, then in gr11 i started hanging out with the outgoing group, when i finished highschool, stayed friends with both groups all thru college. finished college now and still have this problem. didnt really make any friends at college coz had severe acne that crippled my self esteem so always looked away after quickly talking to ppl, didnt live in a dorm, lived at home & took train.
i dont fit in anywhere!!!

I have extreme anxiety - the mere mention of certain topics can provoke a wholly irrational reaction, the one which is paramount at the minute is appetite loss. I've barely eaten for days. And when I have sat down to eat, thoughts have popped up in my head and I've not wanted to. I'm on the waiting list for therapy - been on it for 2 years, no sign of getting an appt yet. Can't go private, too poor.
Any help would be nice. But please don't anyone tell me I'm anorexic or anything - some people have already jumped to that conclusion, but it really isn't that.

Ok, I have really bad sleeping problems. It's not that I cannot sleep, it's just that I sleep and things happen.

It goes like this: I go to sleep, then everything is ok until I scream and start saying that there is someone in the room or that something bad is going to happen!! it doesnt happen lightly! My hubby tells me it's scary! and that i dont calm down but only if he hugs me or turns on the light! I even tell him that I want him to turn on the lights to check the room around!!

The funny thing is that most of the times I dont feel I did that! I dont remember a thing! And it doesnt happen from time to time.. it happens everyday!! I have been having this problem for the past 4 years I guess, and I dont know what to do about it.

Any recommendations?

Since my question on sex and shopping proved that men can't compete against shopping. Maybe I should just ask what do the women what? Next time my wife goes shopping, I must go with her and see what is so great about shopping that women would rather shop than have hot sex. It hurts just writing abut it!
