I went to donate blood for the Red Cross yesterday and fainted during the process. Why does losing blood (only arond a pint or so) cause some people to faint and not others?

I know some people have a hard time losing weight but I have the opposite--- I recently lost about 10lbs because I was sick and on antibiotics. I would like to put about 5-10lbs on but in the right places--- like esp in my butt and thighs--- any recommendations?

My typical day for eating:
-2 eggs in the mornins, aotmeal & glass of milk
-lunch at work 12-2pm usually a 6" sub turkey sandwich, pasta, burger, or chicken caesar salad
-around 4-5pm an apple or chips or nuts or chocolate to snack on
-7-8pm dinner at home - usually potatoes with some kind of meat and side salad or pickles or beets
-10pm+ sandwich or veggie snack or other snacks

I feel like I'm eating alot... and I'm not gaining -- I dont know if i can force myself to eat any more i might throw up lol... am i eating the wrong things???

Question:

Say a person has, say 5% Heart Disease. O-kay?

Once a person gets that 5% damaged heart disease......there no way ever to get Rid of that 5% heart damaging, right?

I mean, I'm saying, once anyone gets 5% - 10% of their Heart damaged by Gum disease.....there no way to make that person's Heart 100% healthy again, right?

His or her Heart will always stay only 90% or 95% in good health. No retrograting back to 100%, right??

He used a condom, but i realized after i got up that ejaculate was seeping out, so right then i knew it broke. Today, i took a plan B pill and i'm going to take the second one in twelve hours. Still, what are the chances of the pill not being effective? and what are the chances of contracting an STD? He's only used a condom once before, but he has had sex quite a few times, with quite a few girls.
i know that you'll say " get tested!!!!!"
but, thing is, i'm only fifteen ( yeah yeah, i know, too young ) and i have no way of getting to a clinic or the doctor's office.

should i be worried?

Thank you.

I'm just self-reflecting on my life and I have difficulty processing how things turned out the way they are. My youth has been miserable as long as I can remember. I don't recall a single happy memory. I am 20 yrs old and I hate how my life has turned out. I was always sad, lonely. I feel I'm all alone with no friends and social life. I never experienced the things other people had my age. My family was broken. But what really really bothers me is there were many chances in which my life could have turned out great had my parents told me about it. But its like my parents kept me ignorant to these solutions. They treated me like a child all the time. I hate my parents for this. I could have moved out and lived with my aunt and uncle and be happier but they blew it away. They didn't even inform me. Everyday I fantasize how much life could be better and sometimes I think about it so much I think I go insane. Sometimes fake memories come about on my youth.

OK. I have given a lot of thought to the idea of experience, life & what depression means in the very recent past. I have decided ultimately that I can't handle simply submitting to the depression, because while I like the viewpoint I know it holds me down - but also I can't do the drug route. I just can't, it doesn't work, it makes me uncomfortable and ultimately more anxious & depressed.

And you know, really, I can't do the therapy route, either, because you have no idea how uncomfortable that makes me, as well. I cannot and could not ever in any situation since I was born successfully express my true self verbally & I'm not suddenly going to sprout an ability to eloquently describe my emotions. Not to mention I have an embarrassing inclination to cry and it all just snowballs into this slightly traumatizing experience that I don't like. I really don't like.

Therefore, I was wondering what alternative solutions there are for depression without just masking it with medication?
