My whole life I have struggled to smell anything. I can only smell certain things which are strong, such as gasoline, cigarette smoke, poop (unfortunately), and a few other things, like some freshly baked foods depending on what it is. For the most part, I can never smell ANYTHING. This worries me a lot. I have seasonal allergies but I am like this year round, even during the winter. What can my problem be and how can I fix it?

So last year I lost SEVEN loved ones while I was pregnant. I usually drink to numb the pain but since I was pregnant, I couldn't. Alhough I was sad, I never reacted the way I think I should have. Anyway I have since gained 40 pounds afer having my baby. I used to party and still would like to but it seems as though my "friends" choose not to hang out with me anymore. I'm thinking it's cause I'm fat. My attitude has definately changed for the better. I'm not judgemental cause I know how short life is. I know I need to find someone to talk to but I can't afford that now because I just lost my job and don't plan on going back to work for a while. PLEASE tell me your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks! I appreciate it!

I still live with my family (thanks lord!), otherwise I would be totally alone.

I have no friends and all I do is work and school. I'm 24.

I feel like my life is being wasted.

What do I do to "have a life"?

about 2 weeks ago, i undertook a major cleaning of my house. Ever since then, every day I am finding anywhere from 2 to 6 new spots of itchy skin. I do have allergies to dust and everything associated with it. I have tried everything I can think of from washing all of my linens/slip covers for the furniture to actually taking the shop vac to my furniture (including my bed). I can't stop scratching!! It's driving me crazy... I appear to be the only one getting these, my fiance doesn't have anything on him. I've been doing some research and these bites resemble bed bugs but I don't know where they would have come from. I shower on a regular basis... I don't know what else to do... I haven't changed my diet or anything. Could I have developed an allergy to my laundry detergent even though it's the same one I have always used? What else could it be?? I haven't been able to get to my dr's b/c his schedule is basically the same as my work schedule.... HELP PLEASE!

I'm curious about this therapy. I hope to get some answers from people who have tried it. I've done a little bit of research but haven't come up with too much on it and find that the success rate varies from clinic to clinic. The one here claims a 95% success rate and another (I'm not sure of the location) boasts a mere 60%.

I'm getting depressed. I work out five days a week. 40 minutes on the cardio machines and about 10-15 minutes on the weights. Monday through Friday.

I'm eating healthier, looking at the nutrition labels, not cheating much (heh). I've cut out sodas and cut back on my portions and how much I eat during the day. I snack on fruits and veggies instead of potato chips and chocolate.

I can't seem to LOSE any weight! Lose a pound, lose half a pound, gain one and a half pounds, lose a pound, I can't seem to get on a LOSING streak!

I'm so upset, I'm really getting depressed about this. WHY can't I lose weight?

I just need to vent and want to cry right now. I'm NOT giving up, I'm sticking with it (especially working out), but I'm getting desperate!

I'm a 15 year old girl, and I am not sexually active. Recently, three red growths formed around my vaginal area. I've tried to look up what it could be, and the only thing I've seen is genital warts caused by HPV, which is a STD. I didn't think it was possible to get a STD without doing anything sexual, is it? I'm really scared and don't know what to do. Please, only serious answers. What should I do?
