I always need to pull feathers out of my pillow before I go to sleep. I try to get the ones buried deep because they are easier to bring out with their harder stems. I am not satisifed until i've pulled the largest one. Then, when i'm done, i have all these feathers all over my bed that I have to clear off. This started because the feathers would poke me as I slept, sometimes making their way out and into my nose or mouth as I sleep. Now, I use a regular pillow (no feathers) but still use the feathered pillow to remove feathers each night. Am I going insane?

i call her nonstop and if she doesnt pick up, i get my brain to the point where i am positive she actually did die and i start having panic attacks. If she's in a car i think that she got in a car accident and if shes on the train i think the train went off the track. If she's out to dinner i think someone slipped something in her drink. It's only over my mom though. And when i think about life sometimes i get so worried over the future i throw up. This feeling keeps getting worse and worse. Please tell me what is wrong with me?

I found out my coworker does drugs, weed to be exact. I have a demanding position that can make or break about 40 employees jobs. This employee is the backbone to our business, and can affect everything I am working twords. The problem is, this coworker has three kids, and is divorced. This is a good position for her, with great pay. I have never suspected she has been high at work, but I saw her in the parking lot, off company time, stoned. Her job performance about 2 years ago was, 100%, now about 40%. I am scared if I turn her in, it will be a "she said he said thing", and it will backfire on me. Then we will have to work together. We have a good working relationship now. I am not her boss, but she does report to me regarding the status of the business. I assumed for a while she did get high, but now she was on company property high, and drove her car away. HELP ME!!! I know this seems easy, but putting a single mother out of work with three kids is hard. Thanks.

my therapist says that I am choosing to live in sadness and despair. But I feel that I cannot help it because so MANY bad thngs are happening all at once. What do you think? Is that really a choice when everything is so overwhelmingly tragic?!

i cant sleep at night. I think its because I sleep during the day, but only for about 20 minutes. Do I have insomnia?

That plus eating very balanced and non-fatty / sugary foods. My sister and I want to lose the last about 10 lbs. of fat. We both have never been very overweight but we just want to slim down. Do you think 20 min. of cardio and 10. of strength every day is a good plan? Gracias.

I mean no harm or hurt in what I ask. It's meant for me to gain some support from those of you who try to understand my thoughts. I am suffering mentally and I thought this was a good choice to get help from Y/A. I guess it was a mistake on my part. No, life isn't a joke and for those of you who don't understand mental illness know nothing of what I go through and yes I did take your emails to heart...

Ok i already have a six pack and its relatively defined problem is im rather lopsided so my right leg and arm have significantly more mass than my left. I think this has caused my abs to be lopsided as well. My 3 on the left side and my 3 on the right are different sizes with my left being bigger. In addition my the creases and shadow line don't line up so its like this.

pretended periods are not there i need somehting to hold the space. of course this is an exaggeration but u get the idea. any one know what to do to fix this so the creases will become parallel and more symetrical and how to specifically isolate rightside abs?

i dn't know what to say . my life has been like a fairy tale to me . Nothing i do will ever make me happy , and nothing i am will ever give me the love i never received from my parents , and since i do not wish to go along with their wishes and be in an emotionally unstable family relationship . i am alone .
This girl , i used to like , she broke up with me because of my jealousy ( she doesn't understand that it came from the way i was brought up , it was a fight between me and brother to win our parents love - even the slightest thing causes big fights , it shouldn't have been like that . my parents should have loved us for what we were , and not what we could do for them )

She broke up a few months ago , and 2-3 days ago she called ( i am sure it was her , eventhough it was a private call )
Now all the feelings are coming back into my mind and the more i try to stop it i can't . and if i dn't think about it then i feel like i have no purpose in life , or as if .........

When I told my coworkers that I use Dial and Irish Spring as a bath soap, they were like "Why do you use that?" kinda-like-eeew-sort of way. They never did give me reason why they think that. They use Dove and Lever.

Is there such thing as designer soap, poor people's soap, grease mokey soap...c'mon what's the deal? Gimme the 411 here.

I'm a 16 year old girl. about 5'4 and 151 lbs.
I just got a Schwinn Airdyne and I'm planning on burning 300 calories on it (which took me a little over an hour tonight cuz I didn't have a whole lotta energy) 6 days per week.
well, at least according to the calorie counter on the bike it will be 300

and I've been trying to cut down 500 calories a day, too, but I'm not always sucessful.

How much weight would I lose per week if I burned the 300 calories a day and didn't cut out the extra 500 calories a day? And how much would I lose if I burned the 300 calories a day and DID cut of the extra 500 calories a day?

I think having a better idea of how much weight I might actually lose will give me some motivation. :)

Hi everyone, I had a cramp on my hamstring while sitting in an awkward position almost 2 months ago. I was perfectly fine after that.

Until I first exercised after the cramp, I could feel sharp pain then. The pain was not felt during exercise, but after it.

It's at the back of my knee and a 2 or 3 cm up to the direction of my thigh. Whenever I bend or squat cos of visiting the loo, I get the sharp pain. The pain is felt greatest when my leg is in bend position, and I place the calf away from my thigh. (usually when u squat, your calf touches your thigh).

And whenever I try to recover from squat or just a bend of my knee(occurs for a period), I feel strain on that pain area, it's like a muscle tear and I have to stretch a few times to ease off the 'muscle tear' like pain.

Any idea what has happened to me? I had stopped exercising for quite awhile, but the pain was still there, it doesn't seem to go away.

Hi, I'm concerned about my back pain, because it never stops. I mean it literally never stops hurting, no matter what I do. I'm under a lot of stress, so do you think that's why? My boyfriend causes me a lot of stress, my family, my work, things like that... and it just hurts all the time. What should I do?

Do you just slip into a deep sleep, or is it painful? Do your lungs just shut down, and you basically suffocate? How long does it usually take?

My mother has extreme headaches. They just came on about 10 weeks ago. They're very severe, she gets dizzy, and sometimes her one eye feels strange.

She's had an MRI and there was a little "something" on, what I think the doctor called, the Pond's Lobe? She had a CT scan, which showed that the mark on the MRI was just a mistake from the machine. She went to an ear-nose-throat specialist, and he said there was nothing wrong with her.

They're so bad that sometimes she has to hold onto someone or something, or feels as if she's going to fall. Got an appointment with the neurologist, but she can't get in until November. I don't think she can wait that long...
Took some Imitrex tonight, and said it gave her pain in her ribcage/arms.

She's 45, if it makes any difference. Please help!
