3)I have problems havingconversation with someone. With my best friends and family i just pop out these peculiar ideas, and with classmates and that i don't speak. I sit unable to look people in the eyes. I had confidence councelling which didnt help.4) i'll be really excited for no reason 'vibrating' with energy and chattering about nothing5) I have delusions.I think im characters of films or religious prophecies.ATMi know its fake,but at that time i dont.6)I get extremely down& its killing me all the time

Has anyone here suffered from a seperated pelvis during pregnancy especially if it began in the 2nd trimester and if so, what did you do to attempt to help with the pain. Also did anyone have a pinched nerve with it as well.

My 8th grade daughter said this morning that she did not want to go to school. I told her she had to and she seemed fine and headed off. About 1:00, I got a call from the school nurse saying that my daughter was in her office with a stomachache/upset stomach. I went to the school to get her, and she was very quiet (she talks all the time). I got her home and she went to the basement to watch TV and came up about 1/2 hour later saying she felt fine. She is acting fine now and wants to eat. Do you think she is faking sick? She didn't have a fever at all. So, is she faking sick? Is there something going around?

I've changed my eating habits in July to eating very healthy (vegetables, fruits, deli meats, ect) Now I've got people who want to eat unhealthy things, practically every other day.

I'm a very simple person when it comes to eating habits, if it's not there I wont eat it, but since the holidays are coming up and friends seem to be in love with fast food places how can I turn down the food I don't want without being too rude?

Thanks for any answers.

My 9 year old neighbor was diagnosed with ADHD after extensive testing when he was 5. He starts fires in the house at 2 AM when everyone's asleep. He's all scarred up from setting himself on fire. He's mouthy, mean, violent and repeatedly calls the cops on his parents when they try to discipline him. He's been on all the ADHD medications and behavioral therapy even now. Nothing helps. The police suggested reform school since the regular school can't cope with him. His parents are seriously considering this.

I understand that he's mentally ill, but there has to be a solution to his parent's living hell. Any suggestions or thoughts are appreciated.

today in my nutrition class, my teacher said that during exercising...people should aim for their target heart rate in order to burn fat. If we go over our heart rate, then we begin to burn muscle.

IS THIS TRUE?!?


so that means i have to start running slower/jogging in order to burn fat? i need/want to burn fat but i like running fast much better. so running faster won't help me burn fat??

i thought exercising overall makes you lose weight(fat). so now in order to lose fat, i need to be specific about how i exercise??

can u guys tell me more about this. THANK YOU

this makes me sad because i've been trying to lose weight by running everyday and now i find out that i've been burning muscle instead of fat. WTH please explain.

I love eating jackfruit. Or so I did, before I began having allergic reactions to it.

At first I thought it had to do with eating frozen jackfruit, but during the summer I ate some fresh ones and that came out 10x worse; my lips were a little swollen and my throat puffed up a lot.

What the heck is in jackfruits that's triggering the allergy, but I can't seem to find a source with answers. I mean, I ate it before and never got any reactions. Erg!

ok, i'm 18 and in college, so this is kinda new to me. i have eaten a lot of pumpkin seed the last 2 days, and i realized that i have a case of constipation, so i've stopped eating the seeds. but today, when i went to the bathroom, i found that my feces had dark red spots of blood along the surface. so my question is this: do you think it was just from the constipation, or should i call my doctor?

Hi. I tend to get bored out of my mind when I try to work out at home. I get so bored, in fact, that all the videos and stretch-bands, yoga mats and weights I have bought sit in the same place every day and collect dust. I can be disciplined about exercise if I am having at least a little fun.

Have you discovered any cool / fun home workouts, or equipment, that helps keep you motivated?
