Health - 8 October 2007

I'm 14-15 years old and i'm not sure if i suffer from depression.
I used to have a really really, good memory but now i have the worst memory! Usually on school nights i don't get enough sleep and i cry easily. I can't stop thinking and i sometimes most of the time can't sleep of night because in my head i keep on thinking. My parents put alot of pressure on me and say i must be my best in everything. I do exams for piano and i'm stressing really bad abut it, when i can't get something right i start crying abit. the exam is kind of expensive and my parents have spent alot of money on piano lessons and exam. I'm scared i won't pass. Do I have it? Should i see a doctor, any tips?

Every fall I get really depressed. Well, it has started earlier this year and more intense. It usually starts only after it starts to get cold outside, but this time it has started only after it started to get dark earlier. It really sucks because I have no real apatite but I crave candy and alcohol. I have no motivation to go to work and I'm tired all of the time. I know this year is going to get worse because the way I feel is similar to the way I would normally feel in late November.

So, my question is can my PCP prescribe something for this or do I have to see a psychiatrist?

It stems from his childhood where he and his sister always were in competition with each other, his sister always seemed to be favoured by the parents.

He isnt exactly stupid but thinks that everyone else believes he is and is comparing him to others. He behaves as though one mistake makes the end of the world and now believes he should quit his job because of that.

He is working at my workplace and now thinks that everybody compares us and that he will always be a step behind me..."not as bright, hardworking, loved or popular."

His parents died when he was around 22 and I dont think he ever got over it, he was convinced that they prefered his sister and that his father hated him.

He used to self harm at 16 and has never sought counciling.

How can I help him? I dont know what to do anymore as I always try to reasure him but it seems to have no effect...he asks me what he should do to feel better and I dont know what to say to him...

I've been hearing a lot about interventions and how they help people who are addicted to drugs or alcohol but I don't understand a thing. Can somebody please explain these things to me? What are interventions? What are they for? Are they really necessary? Please answer. Thanks.

I heard this from someone at my high school and I don't understand why it would, please be detailed if you know. By carbinated beverages I don't mean just diet soda but also sparkling water and other drinks like that.

I recently slept with my boyfriend for the first time, hes great in the bed(sucks on the washer machine).. Anyways his package isn't so average, of course my fingers aren't a measuring stick so I wouldnt know his size. A best estimate I would probrably say hes 6 inches, maybe bigger.. Anyways what can I give him or advise to him to help him grow? I really like him, I've grown attatched so I'd rather work around the problem rather than rid of him... HELP!

right after it ballooned up and only bled a bit. I do not have money to go get it checked. The swelling has gone down quite a bit and there is no open wound and it is not hot and no streaking. Looks like there is blood pooled under the skin. Happened just yesterday, so I am wondering if anybody else has had this happen, and how long did it take for it to go away.

I have to get braces in 1 month and I have to wear them for 2 years. My teeth are really bad and crooked especially my front ones that show when I smile or talk, they are so gross that I can't even smile at all. Is there anything temporary that the dentist can put on my front teeth so that I can smile now because I don't want to wait 2 years before I can ever smile?

My sister is 14. In 1st grade she started to refuse going 2 school until she was changed to a private school. Later she had to repeat 3rd grade and a few weeks in she refused again. My mother tried EVERYTHING even the principal carried her in once. But she was impossible. So for almost 4 years she was home schooled because of her irrational stubbornness. We explained why it's important, both my parents are self-employed so she would be w/ them. Last year she finally went back to the private school but would ditch in the bathroom a lot. This year my parents cant afford the school so they put her back in public and went for 1 day. Now she won't go. My mom has been told that she will be fined $10,000 or jail if she isnt enrolled. My sis told me she has claustrophobia so thats y its hard to be in classroms. But I don't think thats true. I think she has a mental disorder. Severe social anxiety. She still throws tantrums like 3 yr old. Doent want 2 hear ANYTHING of school. What should we do?

I have been having a problem with cyst for a long time now. I used to just get them in my underarm when I was younger. But for the past 2-3 years I get them everywhere. On my stomach, on my inner thighs, on my vulva, on my underarms and I think I have one on the sole of my foot. Right now I have on on my stomach and one on my vulva. If the one on my foot is a cyst thats 3 right this moment. Not one weeks goes by that I do not have atleast one cyst.

Is this a symptom of something? Or is it just cyst? I am realy tired of it and worried something could be wrong.

Thanks
