I'm 19 years old and have been dealing with social anxiety and depression for as long as i can remember. I had a few close friend but got into a huge fight with them a couple of years ago since then i have no life. My social anxiety and depression has caused me to drop out if school when i was in the 10th grade, I never had a job because of my fear of what people are thinking of me and also embarissing myself in front of other people. All i do everyday is wake up watch tv all day and sleep. I feel like im the only one going through this. I want to get my life back on track any one have any advise?

Is this going to be debilitating in the future and is it a legitimate reason to apply for disability? I am in pain when standing or sitting for long periods of time.

Ive already asked this but I wasnt clear so Ill try again.

I take pain med for Chronic pain, its a long term thing so its something I have to deal with. I dont drink much but I would like to drink with the girls tonight. They are trying to get me out of the house, which I really need. I usually take percocet and if I drink I wont take it for a couple hours before I go out.
I am trying Opana right now ( not the ER version). Ive taken 15mg all day, its been tuogh because Im in pain but I havent taken it since 2-3 this afternoon. I just wanted to be cautious if I went out and had a couple drinks say around 9ish tonight.
I am so tired of dealing with meds and worrying and it seems like the one night I want to go out, its a hassle. I know I can drink soda or non-alcoholic drink but tonight I just want to be a normal 23 year old.

Thank you for your help.

I have noticed that for some reason all of a sudden I eat all the time, and tons of really bad food for me. If I am not eating tons of bad foods, I am eating multiple portions of food that is good for me. I am 14 and I have always been a skinny person, who didn't eat a ton. Why is it that all of a sudden I won't stop eating? I don't even have a larger appetite, I just suddenly eat and eat and eat. Because of that I can tell I am gaining lots of weight, I feel noticeably bigger, and I also feel like crying ever time I see myself. Problem is, i can't seem to stop stuffing myself. Why is this happening?

The nurse said that I must have cholesterol issues from genetics. The nurse told me to exercise but I have mono and I am not supose to do strenuous activites b/c of the risk of enlarging my liver and spleen. What can I do? I am kind of in a bad situation with health right now. I plan on going on a strick diet of fruits and vegtables with a lot of fish. Taking fiber pills and lots of vitamens. The nurse said if I don't lower my cholesterol within the next 3 months they are going to put me on meds for it... which I really do not want to do. So what should I do beyond dieting and strenous work outs to end this issue?

I'm thirteen, i discovered masterbating last year. Kind of hard to explain; I was using this sit-up machine and then BAM!!! I guess I wasn't using it the right way...At that time, I didn't even know what semen was. Or what masterbating was. Then I wanted to do it again and again. I did. Then I found out how to ACTUALLY masterbate and I've been doing it practically every day ever since. Mostly 1-2 times a day. I can't avoid getting the urge; I'm around hot girls at school every day wearing tight pants...... and I fantasize about them sitting on top of my chest...... hahahahaha. I didn't want to get into this mess, it's sucking the life and energy out of me, and I don't want to be addicted to sex/masterbation. There are many other pleasures in life. I don't want to stop completely, because I know that it's natural and everything, but COME ON!!! 1-2 TIMES A DAY IS EXTREMELY EXCESSIVE!!!! I can't focus in school, and I need good grades. Give me the BEST advice, please!!!

I don't think I am fat (I only need to lose a little more weight) being about 155 pounds -because I'm 5'10'' tall-, but I believe I don't have a nice figure.
My body is athletic -I've been playing volleyball for yrs - I have small breasts and a bigger bottom, but it won't get smaller no matter how much I exercise. Should I do something to enlarge the breasts -they look bad small like that while i have a big shoulder blade- or is there another way to get a smaller bottom? I am almost 18. People say I don't need to do anything, but I'm big like that and it's annoying to have small breasts. I hope you understand : /

Help! I am in desperate need of a breast reduction and I have the Empire plan (United Healthcare). I have seen a dermatogist, an internist, gotten back xrays, and the obgyn. I have complained and tried to get chart notes and asked for letters of medical necessity faxed to the plastic surgeon. All these doctors do is write on persciption pads and fax them. These are not enough. Or are they? Will i need physical therapy too for proof? Has anyone had the procedure without all this red tape? Any advice????
