I'm nearing 30 years old and my heart feels in shambles. Everything I say seems to be just an excuse and I don't know how to fix things. I have no friends outside of two people whom I love dearly in my family... it seems I have given up most everything I cared about doing/cared about due to depression.

My abusive ex is now happily married with two kids and I cannot even keep a relationship together for longer than nine months. I may be pregnant (life threatening), but my boyfriend and I fight all the time about his new job (a girl causing problems for us there).

I almost died earlier this year and due to that + anxiety disorder and depression, I'm not working.

I have run out of money and can't take care of my bills... if I wasn't living with my mother, I'd most likely be in an institution or on the streets.

I have no idea how to get my life back on track. I'm afraid I'll end up hurting myself. How do people pull themselves back from the brink?

i have been to 4 dentists since july. the first said i have one filling that needs to be replaced (true) and i should think abuot getting my wisdom teeth out bc i have a small cavity in one.
Second fills the filling that fell out and says my teeth are just fine (August). leave them alone. In mid-September i see an oral surgeon for the wisdom teeth and he says i have 2 large cavities in my wisdom teeth. The fourth I saw at the beginning of October. She says no cavities and I don't need my wisdom teeth removed, but I have 2 fillings that need to be replaced or they could lead to root canals. Don't you think the other 3 dentists would have noticed the 2 fillings that needed replacing? The second did not take x-rays, could that be why he didn't mention that? If I go see a 5th I will probably just get another totally different diagnosis. I didn't realize dentistry was so subjective. Any advice for whether I should let the dentist replace the fillings? They are not bothering me.

I went to my first therapy session yesterday to discuss what counselling methods would help most. He suggested anxiety group therapy and anger management classes.

He said that I have some sort of social phobia and would need counselling to get to the root of the problem.

Is social phobia common? :S And how do you treat it?

I'm already on meds for depression and have it under control, but the anxiety/paranoia is a real issue.

This morning my doctor requested I had x-rays done which I did and now he's demanding I get a CAT scan. I told him I didn't really think one was neccessay because 1.) i have minimal insurance and 2.) he's my pain management doctor not my primary physician. He said that if I didn't get the CAT scan I shouldn't bother to show up to my next appointment. I know it's not neccesarily right but can he do that legally?

Any help would be appreciated.

Last month I had a very irregular period, but ever since the week before I have had indigestion. I never had indigestion before and it's really irritating, all the tums in the world don't seem to help it! It went away for about a week and now it should be about the time of the week before my next period is due and I have it really bad again. Could this just be a new symptom of my PMS? ?

Has anyone been prescribed any medication which effectively helps back pain and debilitating spasms. I get dihydrocodeine and diazepam, but would like to know of any pain killers which can help muscle spasms too as diazepam prevents you from being able to drive.

this has been going on for a little over a year now. i have been to plenty of doctors for this. my internist, cariodilogist. I had 2 holtor monitors done, did a stress test on the treadmill, had a few ekgs. Holtor showed a resting heart beat average of the day 66 the first time and 60 the second time. All the doctors looked and it and said there was nothing wrong at all and the beat is fine. Stress and ekg came back great, blood work came back great too. Now almost everyday i feel like im gonna pass out but i never to. I get tingly and light head and i get up and walk around to make myself feel better. Can this be heart related and all these doctors wrong, or am i just having panick attacks bc all i do is worry now days. im 23 yrs old male, work out every day atthe gym. 5-10 about 195. i hate this feeling and all the doctors say is go to a pyshciarist. what should i do i hate this feeling, they say ill grow out of it. blood pressure is never high its always good they say

In the moring and sometimes at night, when I'm walking around I get this headache for like 1 minute, and after the headache my eyes do this thing where I can't see anything. Its just black. And, then while its black I like loose my balance. And, I have no idea what is it! When my eyes go black I'm still aware of what is going on around me. Like last night I was talking to my mom and my eyes did the thing and I was still talking to her. Another time I was making cereal and my eyes did the thing and I was still making the cereal. So, I don't know if something is wrong or if its just because I'm tired. Please help me!!!

My husband fell 30' from a forklift. When he landed he was pinned underneath the cart and his co-workers had to pull him out. can't convince him to go to the doctor because he is afraid he will get fired for not having his harness on. Everyone was working without them when he fell, including the supervisor. It wasn't until after the fall did the supervisor tell everyone to get them on. No on offered to take him to the doctor or filled out an accident report. They just let him drive himself home. How can I convince him to go to the doctor? I understand that what he did was stupid but I am concern he might be really injured.
