I used to run 4 miles a day and workout for about 1 hour afterwards everyday. But, now I am cutting it back to 3-4 days a week because my knees were hurting. My question is, am I gonna gain too much weight? Will my metabolism slow down?
Will I go out of shape?

Every night when I'm alone in my room and doing nothing i usually grab my penis and start masturbating. I know that it is normal for my age but is it still normal to do it every night and sometimes for more than once in a day??

It's so hard trying to lose weight here because I'm only offered the caferteria food. my finances wont allow me to go else where. I really wont to lose my stomach thats it. I've been doing 50 situps every morning and this morning I did a 100. But alot of people are telling me that i need to run to lose the belly fat, but I'm not in shape, atleast not enough to run 7 miles. And I cant do a calorie diet b.c I dont know how to keep up with the calories b.c its all cafeteria food and calories dont show.....i really want to lose mainly belly fat.....

In recent news it has been reported that Brits are pulling their own teeth because there are not enough dentists.

There are also reports on high death tolls from infections contracted while in the hospital because of unsanitary conditions. This is a result of lack of funding which causes a staffing shortage.

How is this better than what we have here in the USA?

I am a young adult who still gets strep throat a lot (sigh...both of my parent shad their tonsils removed but the doctors these days say that's not necessary). I used to live in France where this infection is very common and the doctors always gave me amoxocillin without doing a swab (and it got better). Now I live in India where this kind of thing is usually taken care of by the pharmacist. I asked for amoxocillin and they told me to take 500mg/3 times a day for 5 days. However, my doctors in France always prescribed a 10-day course. I don't want to stop too soon, even if the pharmacists say I can (fyi I am an adult and weigh about 55 kilos which is about 122 pounds so I am of the right size and age to take normal doses). Thanks!

Whenever I get free or doing nothing or sometimes even in busy times, lots of things runs in my mind. Usually, I create my own world inside my mind and start to debate on my own to the point where my head gets heavy. I want to get rid of this. Is there any exercise for this that I can perform myself or train myself? Interestingly, one of my friend also has the same problem as mine. Can we perform any exercise or training together and help each other to get rid of this.

Also, Please let me know if there is any specific term for the problems like this where people let their mind busy all the times running a lots of things in mind to the point of head getting heavy. I'm very desparate to help myself.

thanks

I used to cut myself. I even tried to commit suicide twice. But i'm better now. I didn't tell my mom then, because i was scared to face the truth, that i had a problem. But should I tell my mom now? I'm afraid she'll freak out.

i am 7 1/2 months pregnant and i am having allot of complications. I suffer from vericosite veins in my legs and in my private and i cant even stand on the floor without swelling up like a balloon and having severe pain. I cant sleep at night and i am so stessed out and depressed that its causing me to have uncontrollable mood swings. i asked my doctor if he would give me anything to help my anxiety because its causing me to have contractions but he said its too dangerous for the baby. My husband just yells back at me and makes me worse. he thinks its an excuse and says that i can controll it but i really cant. How can i get him to work with me and try to calm me down instead of taking it to heart and yelling at me? I am about to give up. We fight all the time and i feel like im loosing my best friend. I cant take anymore stress. Please help.

I am a male, 5'7 150 lbs. I have been losing fat on my stomach (pinch test), but the scale does not reflect the change. I would like to get down to 140, as I believe this is my ideal weight for my body type.

started on 20 mg of Celexa to treat my depression and it worked a little for the beginning of the first day. After three weeks I went to the doctor and he changed me to 30 mg Cymbalta. It worked incredibly well for the first two days, and then the effects started vanishing. Now I’m on the fourth day of taking it and feel as bad as ever. What should I do now? Why are the effects going away after the first couple days?
(I really doubt that it is a placebo effect because I felt significantly better with the second drug for a longer while) and I have been going to talk therapy aswell

Why is it that in western society people often try to blame the fact that they are fat on "slow metabolisms" and "gland problems" and other excuses? I have traveled extensively and been to many country's where food is scarce, and strangely enough, they never seem to suffer with these problems. Why do you think this is?
