for your mental health problems?
i have bpd and are experiencing some traumatic symptoms right now. paranoia, anger, racing thoughts, low depressive moods. high levels of anxiety that are keeping me apartment bound. rage feelings from the past, unresolved issues, feelings of persecution..

ive just spoke to my cpn about this, told him im concerned and that these symptoms are dibilitating and impairing my ability to live my life and that i need more help.

so hes set up another meeting with my psychiatrist.

ive had these problems since 16, and no doubt have a mental health histrory. but as i go forward now and try to get the right help i worry will i be branded, labelled, have a stigma?
is my life ruined as regard employment oppurtunities?

my other goal is to emigrate from britain, go back to france or further out, but because of my mental health history and this disorder is accomplishing that goal ruined to now all because of my disorder & mental health history?
im 30 now

I wear 2 thermal vests and 2 or 3 jumpers to work indoors, and then an extra fleece at home.

Its only me that feels the cold, its not that we need to turn the heating on!! Im not skinny either so its not down to a lack of body fat to keep me warm.

How can I feel warmer from the inside? Any suggestions please?

I have started having very bad pains in my pelvis, almost stabbing pains. Not like period pain, which is a dull ache for me. I've also had sharp jabbing pains when having sex. Could the coil have moved and this is why it's causing me pain?
ps, I've had the coil in for nearly 2 years now.

Im thinking of getting a boob job from either Transform (as they pay for transport to the destination) or Mya (as the girl of shipwrecked got hers done there and they seem good), but I was wondering how can I get them so they feel natrual like they are now and I only want to go up a few size so they still look natrual and in ratio (what size would you reccomend?) and have my nipples re shaped ... I estimated this would cost 4k but whats your opinion, also what is the risk of scarring and who would you reccomend to go to (Im on the UK).... and lastly should I get out a loan to get them done or can you get them done on the NHS?

I could read when I was 3.
I can speak fluently 5 different languages and I learn pretty quickly.
I get easily emotional when I watch tv ot listen to music.
I don't seem to fit anywhere.
People often think I'm kind of weird.
I can be a loner.
I get interested in something, focus on it and learn about it for like, a month and then switch for another interest.
I get depressed a lot.
I have a learning disability in maths. Or at least I think I have one, I've always been extremely terrible at maths. (not exaggerating, it's truly awful)

At school I am bored all the time and it drives me crazy


A few days ago I heard about giftedness and I read articles and the description seems to match but maybe I'm just being confused and cocky...?

Tobacco deaths are more than all combined deaths, it is directly responsible for various forms of cancers, causes impotency, etc., etc. Still, cultivation of tobacco continues unabated, government itself prescribes annual growth rate of tobacco, cultivators even get support price from governments. It's use in public places is banned but people smoke with impunity. 6th standard kids are becoming victims and MNCs/NGOs/tobacco manufacturers are not sincere in their Corporate Social Responsibilities.
It is a shame on the part of "two-timing" policy makers who are victims of tobacco lobbies. They make helmets compulsory but are not bothered about the all pervading killer tobacco.
Drinking water is not available in villages/remote areas but availability of tobacco products are ENSURED in all corners of the world.
When will we ever learn? Once U R hooked, U R hooked for life. U spend money to buy cancer and again spend money to get the cancer cured. Either way U R the looser.

A year ago it was 7, now it's 6.4, my doctor told me I was 30% likely to have a heart attack in the next 10 years.
By taking a Symvastin pill, one every day for the rest of my life, it would reduce it to 10%. I'm 62 and still working.
He said it was my decision??
Is realise my diet has to change (yet again), and take more exercise, I'm prepared to do that.
Any advice is appreciated.

The other day me and my girlfriend were messing around and I was using my fingers on her. When we were done, there was some blood on my sheets and fingers from where we were doing it. She didn't know if she was on her period so we didn't do anything again that day. The next day she told me she wasn't on it so we fooled around again, and still with more blood. There was not alot, but it did get on my fingers. The next day she said she got her period before work, so I assumed that's what it was. Then today, she told me it had stopped and she was no longer bleeding. We messed around today and there was no blood at all.

Can someone please explain what's going on? It has me worried that she might have gotten cut down there, or even worse, she's pregnant. Any help would be appreciated and advice on what to do for her.

I constantly battle with my own conscience. Sometimes I'll feel really down and then I'll seem to have a conversation with myself in my head. All I hear are negative things like 'you're no good' and 'the world is better off without you.' A few times I literally punched myself on both sides of my head. Yeah, that didn't work, but I will say for myself I can punch pretty hard. I'm not on any type of meds and I don't drink or do drugs. I'm pretty stubborn and won't go see a doctor because I'm afraid I will get put on meds and I don't want that.

I am a 30 year-old female. Not overweight. No history of heart disease in family. Ex-smoker, ex-binge drinker in my 20's. Now lead healthy lifestyle.
Have weird pains in my chest or stomach. I am not sure which - kind of just where the bra sits under boobs. Dull, heavy pain.
Have had chest pains on and off for a year. Get clammy and panicky when the pains start.
Been to a few docs. Had numerous EKG's, thorough blood tests etc. Am apparently very healthy.
Every doc seems to think it is psychosomatic as I have previously suffered from quite severe anxiety/somatoform (hypochondria) disorders.
Maybe my response level panic is high, but the pain is REAL and quite annoying/scary as well as actually quite painful.
Do any other women get chest pains before your period? I am now monitoring to see if it usually happens around that time of the month or not?
Has anyone experienced this kind of thing? How worried should I be?
Don't advise me to go to a doc, because I am going next week.
