I always think this is a sunny world, I cannot believe it rained in the middle of the night last week. I always feel like it's sunny. I feel like I'm living in a dark dull drownable world and that I'm falling through the ground

I was diagnosed with diverticulosis, after a colonoscopy. The symptoms I have are chronic constipation with bloating. I see that the symptoms are the same for IBS. I am wondering if there are two different names for the same condition?

Like I said, I am 16, male, and only 5'8. My Dad is only 5'7. I want to grow to be at least 5'10. Is it likely or even possible that I can grow that much? Another question - if I eat very healthy, and got the correct amount of sleep every night, how much will that effect my growth (in inches) vs. if I just ate so-so and got a little less sleep than I should? Is there anything else I can do? Does the amount of exercise you get effect how much you grow? Are there any specific exercises that will help?

Well, thanks in advance people, can't wait to hear your answers!

I'm an almost 30 year old mom of three kids. My husband and I are both into alternative lifestyles (goth, in particular), as well as I'm bisexual.

My parents live with us, and make it very difficult for me to have any outside friends, because they feel that my life should revolve around my kids. That I should have NO LIFE other than my children (despite the fact that when my mother first had her kids, she continued to sing and tour profesionally).

Due to my mental health issues, I need to have a support system, other than verbally abusive parents.

I'm looking for websites (since I CAN get on the computer) where I might be able to meet other people with similar interests to mine, possibly to meet up with OFFLINE. I need a life, I NEED FRIENDS!

Any suggestions?

My friend's boyfriend is having severe muscle tension (mostly in his shoulders) and tension migraines. He is also vomiting and is sensitive to light. They are going to the doctor soon but we want to help relieve the pain he is in before that. Does anyone know of some natural remedies we can use, or perhaps some OTC cures? We need something affordable, something we can run to the local supermarket and get. He is already taking Excederin and soaking in hot water and Epsom salt, but we need something to ease his stomach and muscles more. Any help is greatly appreciated :)

I don't know whats wrong with me. I've been really depressed - Can't get out of bed, constantly procrastinating, irritable. I used to be really levelheaded and chilled out. Most people think I still am. My life isn't any worse than anybody else's. I can't think of any events or background that could have caused this. It's been going on for about 10 years. It started with these weird mood swings - I guess I can describe it where suddenly I would feel that everything was stupid and pathetic and really empty. It has gotten worse in the past few years. I was so tired all the time I got a blood test - nothing. I have no patience anymore and get frustrated really easy. I am usually just really numb. I tried exercise, which helped for a little. I stopped smoking pot because I no longer get a good high. I'm really careful around harder drugs because I know I would do to myself. I think my personality has changed, and I have been making really bad decisions that are affecting school and work.

I've noticed for about 2 or 3weeks now that the tip of my thumb on the left side on my left hand tingles like when your foot falls asleep it does this all day long and it's getting on my nerves. When I touch something it feels numb and sometimes it sends a really weird feeling down my arm to my elbow. Does this sound like Carpal Tunnel? If not any suggestions on what it could be?
