When I'm alone, I talk to myself. I pretend people are there and I talk to them about anything random. I pretend they are my friends from school or someone I want to meet. I am fully aware they aren't there. No hallucinations for me. They don't answer back, I answer for them. Anyway, I would act things out as if there was another person there. I pretend I'm someone else, usually someone who was raped or beaten as a child. Seven years later and I still do this, except now it's more of a habit and I tend to do it as soon as I'm alone. Before, I would only do it when I was bored or sad.

I'm scaring myself because I'm starting to believe this 'pseudo-reality' is more real than I intended it to be. I'm starting to want to become the people I pretend to be. No matter how many people I surround myself with, I would still rather be someone that isn't there.

I was at a concert with my mom and I thought to myself, "Wow! I can't wait to tell so-and-so about tonight!" except I don't know them.

I'm 14 years old and I ate hard food and part of my left molar is loose on the side. It broke off but it is still attached to the gums just not the whole tooth. The thing is, i had a root canal on that molar.I don't have a crown there only a filling...The part that broke off is hurting like crazy I can barely eat, IT HURTS REALLY BAD. I thought the tooth is dead is it supposed to still cause pain? Can the dentist still save the tooth or will it result to extraction?
I'm gonna tell my mom to schedule a trip to the dentist later.

Please help and thanks.

I had my 2 lower wisdom teeth removed in June , i don't have anything negative to say about the experience -- everything went well, literally piece of cake, the healing process was a b*t** however, lots of pressure in the area's that were healing.....i was pretty sure at the time is was coming from the wisdom tooth area that was removed - during the extraction they chipped my tooth (the one next to the wisdom tooth they were removing)

2 weeks ago i went in to get my chipped tooth fixed -- ever since that i've been getting that pressure like symptom but in the jaw area - spreading at times in the centre of my jaw, or the top or bottom -- always different. Thank God for Advil as i'm taking one every 5 hrs so the headaches and pressure go away.-- i'll even wake up at night with the pressure -- its extremlely uncomfortable --- I have an appointment next wk with my oral surgon -- does this sound like TMJ or a possible infection ? but where - in my jaw?

ive been going to the gym quite regularly over the past month and have lost about 3kilos (down from 57 to 54) ... my stomach is still not flat and my thighs still not really thin enough... but other areas (such as my arms and chest) have lost weight.
i do a variety of cardio and weights at the gym. is it time to start toning up, as opposed to trying to lose weight through alot of cardio?

also, any ideas on how i can really make my stomach flat?

thanks alot

This may be long but try to follow. Theres this guy who i use to be friends with that i turned down. Since then he has called my house harrasing, put up websites about me and tried to get personal information through computer posing as a website. . He also knows the forums i frequent on the internet and this is where i met this next man. Im a very attractive woman, hes an unnatractive man- Recently another man led me on through the computer, made me think he had interest and then turned me down. Now he says things like he wants me dead, no longer breathing and mentions little things that this other guy would say to me. Do you think this is another sick plan of his to get revenge on me? It seems like too many coincidences and no man has ever turned me down. This guy treats me like im scum after leading me on.

Well I have been sexually active and about a week ago, when I went to urinate, there was very LITTLE blood coming from the urethra. At first I thought it was a UTI so I went to the doctors and they did a urine test. Turns out there was no bacterial growth in the urine, but they did see some inflammatory cells. So now I think that the rough sex could have caused bruising of the urethra. Is that possible? Anyone have the same experience? If so, how long should I be abstinent to heal the bruise before I continue to have sex again?

I have been wearing glass for a long time, but I am planning on wearing contact lenses.

So, are they hard to put on your eyes?

My brother has to go to Germany to be shipped out to Iraq.. again right before his son is born, then when he gets back he will be in germany for 3 more years.

my grandma just calls me to hear about my cousin (her other grandkid) that I go to the same school with and never asks about me.

my real mom said she wanted to see me at my job, but never showed... twice. I gave her my number but she never called to say sorry or that she couldn't come. I called her to say hi but she never called back when I left her multiple messages over at least 4 days before I called again.

I bought a cd from a band I really like. I've listened to them for years, since I was in college. I haven't listened to them in quite a while. Well, I was listening to the cd today and there wasn't a song I could get through without crying. I don't understand it. I have an okay life now, but it is quite different from how it was in college. I think part of it might be someone I was involved with back in college. I had a 3+ year relationship with a woman while I was in college and for a year or 2 afterwards. This was her favorite band too. I have a man I love now, and I am engaged to him, but something about that relationship I never got over. I don't know what my question is, really, but I am shocked that the music brought forth this kind of reaction.

It looks something has bitten me, only it is all over my stomach, behind my knees, in and around my armpits and on my scalp. It is dreadfully itchy!
Is there any relation between resuming meat consumption and this rash?

What are some uncontrollable health risk factors. Example for controllable health risk factors is weight, smoking, and exposure to sun -- what are the ones that are uncontrollable? Sources are good.

IM STRONGER THAN A LOT OF GUYS IN MY WEIGHT LIFTING CLASS AND MY ARMS ARE REALLY REALLY THIN. AND THEY HAVE LARGE ARMS.

IM 15 YEARS OLD 5FT 8IN AND I WEIGH 135 POUNDS AND MY LITTLE 10 YEAR OLD SISTER HAS ARMS AS BIG AS MINE AND IM A GUY.

AND ALSO MY LEGS ARE REALLY SKINNY. ITS SO EMBARASSING THEY LOOK LIKE TOOTHPICKS AND I DONT WEAR SHORTS FOR THAT REASON.

THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS.

WHEN I WORK OUT I GET STRONGER BUT I GET NO MUSCLE SIZE INCREASE WHAT SO EVER.

THE ONLY GOOD THING ABOUT THIS I DONT GET MUSCLE FATIGUE. ITS REALLY HARD FOR ME TO GET MY LEGS OR ARMS TIRED.
EVEN THOUGH I WORK OUT WITH HEAVY LOADS OF WEIGHTS USUALLY ABOUT 90% OF MY MAX.

DO YALL HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS ON HOW TO MAKE EM BIGGER?

I am wondering if someone with a medical background could answer this. I just heard a story about someone who was shocked by an 8000 volt power line while putting up an antenna in a light drizzle. He claims he was bleeding from his eyes, ears and nose and from capillaries in his chest. He also says his shoes were blown off his feet.

I am skeptical about his story though and wanted to see if this guy is lying or if all that really can happen.
