Does anybody else feel that you can't exactly express how you think or the process of your thinking, and even if you could you would be the only one who could understand it? Not that I there's something wrong with me, i'm just curious.

Several time in the last couple of years I'd get over heated and I'd feel very light headed and feel close to fainting. I thought it may because of the fact that I hadn't enough to eat and I was to warm. I'm in the 7th grade now and I have to do a mile and 3/4 run every monday in 15 minutes. I've done it 2 times so far, and I've been able to make the time. The 1st time, I thought that I may feel faint again so I ate a quick snack before. But I got a cramp, and then afterwards I got light headed again. The 2nd I ate a big breakfast so then I would be sure not to get a cramp since I have PE 3rd period. But when it came to the run about half way through it I got a cramp again and felt dizzy after it was through. I looked at the symptoms for heat exhaustion because I thought that may be possible, especially the part about muscle cramps, dizziness, and my skin feeling cool. I'm pretty sure I have it but I'm not sure what I should tell my PE teacher since I haven't mentioned this to her yet.

iv been trying to figure out if im depressed. i dont think i have any reason to be but sometimes i get very down. i hate my high school and i hate home. the only place im happy is with my friends but even still i get upset when im with them and either dont show it or just automatically suppress my feelings without even trying. i have a few suicidal tendencies. i try to talk to my friends but they have their own problems and i am forced to help them instead. I've harmed my self a few times when im really upset. but i still dont feel im depressed because in public i tend to act happy without trying almost as if i am happy but the second i am alone i want to fall on the floor and cry. someone just tell me am i being a teenager or is there something wrong with me?

i am in my late 20's and would like to have a child in the next 3-4 years but i was diagnosed last week with coronary artery disease and so now i have a million questions on if my heart could even handle pregnancy...i know i will have surgery soon so hopefully it will be under control but even so, is it considered safe to have children? i also was diagnosed with mitral valve prolapse/regurg when i was 12 and have been told that it would be borderline for me having children just because of that, so now i have CAD to add to it.
any personal experience/knowledge you have to share is very much appreciated! :)

it was ordered by my cardiologist and it was a CBC, Comp.Metabolic Panel, TSH, and T7 thyroid tests.

i am wondering mostly, when i get the results tuesday, will any of these show me what my cholesterol level is and if i may have hypothyrodism? my doc mentioned something about checking for anemia and an irregular thyroid but i really want to know my cholesterol levels since he just diagnosed me last week with coronary atherosclerosis(CAD) which is a form of heart disease and everything i am reading on it keeps mentioning cholesterol...if these do not and you know which test i need to request for cholesterol, etc. please let me know! thanks so much in advance :)

Okay ladies, I am a bit nervous about starting my birth control pills. I'm 19 and have never used them before. They seem like more trouble than they're worth...having to take them at the same time everyday and buying them every month. I've been doing good with the pull-out method but my bf gets more nervous than I do!
Anyways, my question is, do you like being on the pill? Do you get used to taking it after awhile? (Because I am very forgetful when it comes to things like this)...And if there are things you dislike about it, what are they?

I heard (from more than 1 source) that eating certain fish and dairy products can kill you. Apparently doctors haven't discovered why yet. Also, people say it causes a reaction that kills you. Please, tell me, is this true and/or do u have any information regarding this?

This guy I know loves to feed me lines of bull$%&#. Anyway, he told me he wants to start working out because he needs to lose weight. I said to him the average person loses about 1-2 pounds a week. He told me that he loses weight faster because he has a high protein level. His doctor found a high protein level in his urine and therefore he bulks up and tones within hours. I've never heard of this before. He's 41 years old and I figured his metabolism has started to slow down if it hasn't already. Does this sound crazy or what? He comes back from the gym and brags about his arms looking bigger. What do you think?
