As far as my understanding was, men (although much more unlikely than women) can still get breast cancer.

Why then are certain charity runs/events 'Women only'?

Okay so I am so uncomfortable with my large breasts. Okay since I was ten I noticed that I had big breasts. I was so uncomfortable with it. Many of my girlfriends will make fun of me.

My son is suicidal. He attempted suicide twice last year, but luckily I found him in time both times. (yes he is getting a lot of help from psychiatrist and psychologist). Some days are good and then we have the really bad days. I am on alert all the time, not knowing what is going to arise today. My husband tells me that I thrash around all night in my sleep. (that is if I am in bed, not sitting up all night with son, talking him through the bad times, hugging etc, just being there) I am so tired and so scared. I just want to know if you are in a similar situation, what do you do to save you sanity? I love my kids and will do anything for them. By the way my son is 24.

I have been under so much stress both from my career and my relationship and it is making it so hard to sleep. When you are under a lot of stress, and your brain and heart just won't shut up at night, how do you deal with it?

well, i've always had a odor problem down there. for some reason after i pee there is always moist discharge no matter how well I wipe it'll show up an hour later never fails. It doesn't burn when i pee or anything. last year I lost my virginity and since them the smell has gotten worse and now all of a sudden its bothering my bf's private! he gets a rash and a bump around the shaft. he thinks he's allergic to me, is that possible?
I really don't know what to do, I've tried almost everything. and Im a pretty clean person I shower twice a day except sundays.
He's the only person I've been with...but he's not that clean...he'll go a week before bathing.

So my question is
Whats the cause of them smell and irritation??

I have been a long time member of this community (Yahoo Q&A). I changed my nickname because I want this post to be completely anonymous and untraceable to my person. I am in my 20's and suffer from OCD. I am sure people like I have plenty of stories about their psychiatrists and therapists. I'll share one with you and hope you will share one with me.

My first therapist was a psycoanalyst who knew absolutely nothing about OCD. She saw everything as related to the penis and penetration. If you have had a psycoanalyst as a therapist you know what I am talking about. A particularly nasty symptom of OCD are the obsessions about homosexuality. You are bombarded with mental images of people of your same sex having homosexual sex with you, or you being sodomized, and are unable to turn it off and think of anything else. Your level of anxiety increases tenfold and you just want to off yourself. If you haven't been diagnosed, then you are not aware this is part of the disease and you may be

ive heard that when you eat too little calories, your body goes into starvation mode to slow down your metabolism so you conserve energy and this eventually leads to weight gain. how is it then that girls like lindsay lohan and nicole ritchie who obviously are/were food deprived loose all that weight?

My mother has a foot wound in her heel that's approximately one inch deep. She has type 1 diabetes and insists on walking, despite her condition.

She has no social vices and keeps her diabetes under control, but she's nearing three years with this wound and wants to know if there's anything she can do to make it heal that doesn't require six months of bed rest?

I have been on and off diets for the past few years. When I'm not dieting, I don't think about food very much, and I just eat whatever I want whenever I am hungry. However, when I AM dieting, I think about food all day long... its like it over powers my mind. I start thinking about healthy food that I can eat, and then I start thinking about things like milkshakes and french fries and I get frustrated with the diet a few days later and go on a huge splurge, eating everything in sight until I feel extremely bloated. I don't understand why this happens. Does this happen to anyone else? With this in mind, what can I do to lose weight affectively? I have tried every "diet" out there... Can't do Atkins 'cuz after day 3 I feel like crap. What can I do???

I have been cursed since birth. My biological mother was 11 yrs old when I was born and I was given up for adoption. I was raised in a family that was very intelligent but very abusive. I was raised in a all white town in Wi and being mixed it was impossible to make it, but I did. My life has been nothing but let downs and nothingless. The last 2 yrs I have lost my home, business, friends, family all due to the curse and severe depression. I can fight it with meds somedays but not now. I believe God has forsaken me at birth because there is so more to tell. I'm literally almost pennyless, jobless, and alone and suicidal.No one wants to help when I try to reach out. Being dead sounds so good some days but that is no the ultimate answer, so I hurt myself a lot and it the thoughts go away sometimes. I pray and ask God for help and I get nothing everytime.There is no answer except pain and suffering. there is no use for me in this life. I want to go away and be alone and succumb to it.

I was wondering. I took this thing that gives you the weight you should be at with your height. I am 5 foot 8 inches (as said in prev discussion) and it says I should be at like 143 pounds to be heathy and fit. However, like I said I am also very stocky with alot of upper body mass. I don't think with my natural size I will be able to accomplish to get down to 143 pounds. My grandpa, uncles and dad are very big (fat+muscle) and the rest are near the average height/weight (got 5 bros and 3 sisters) Doesent all depend on your body structure? 143 for me seems rediciolous (however you spell it)
