My 13 year old cousin thinks shes fat.
Shes 134 lbs and shes about 5'5. [around there.]
She doesn't look fat at all.
Do you think that is a bad weight for her age.
Everyone tells her that she isnt ,. ,But they always think shes about 17.
What do you think?
&& how can i convience her shes not ,
Because she obviously doesnt believe me .

Ever since my friend got his divorce hes been super depressed and just let himself go completely. All of his teeth are rotting and when we were out to eat the other day one of his front teeth actually just fell right out. Hes bummed and has no idea what to do because his job does not offer dental insurance. Can someone please tell me where he could go to get his teeth looked at since he has no insurance, also keep in mind he has a minimum wage job( he basically makes no money). Hes going to need his whole mouth done, maybe a dental school, or anywhere else? Its just really sad to watch this happen. Please help! Thanks.

I chew and spit my food out almost all the time, or i just don't eat, or eat a lot. If I do eat i feel guilty, and feel like I did somthing wrong. Do i have an eating disorder? I don't want to talk to m parents about it, they wouldn't understand. Should I talk to my big in my sorority, she had an eating disorder once.? We're really close and we think of each other as a real older sister & real little sister. But I'm scared and I don't kno what I should do, or how they will react? I don't wan't them to send me anywhere I just want to know if I have a problem? U kno what I mean?

I think I'm depressed. I'm so used to it, it's part of everyday life. People are always asking me what's wrong and I'm surprised that it shows when they ask. I'm obviously not smiling, but when I don't smile it looks like I'm sad - my face is just there. Am I supposed to be a smiling billboard whenever I walk? I just don't want to be here.

Anyways, I don't have a reason to smile. As soon as I get home from school, I fall asleep. Honestly I have no desire to do anything else, but sleep - even after I wake up, I still feel tired. When I'm asleep I have no feelings of frustration, boredom, sadness, or anger... You can't really blame me for wanting to go there.

I wouldn't consider myself suicidal, but -_- I feel that my life is pointless. The only reason I wake up is because I have school... and even then I'm doing so horribly. I'm always procrastinating (

Okay, I've been diagnosed with panic disorder (i've said this on here about 500000 times). Anyways, I was looking through some yahoo answers and someone said doomsday is 2012 and that completley freaked me out. I'm terrified as it is and my sister said there is nothing to worry about because it was supposed to be in 1999 and 1988 too. So what are your opinions on this and PLEASE dont make me any more nervous than I already am. Seriously I think i'm going to have a heart attack right now. This is ******* freaking me out.

superpowerish thing that a human can possibly do? And how can I put my weird and pointless abilities to good use. Like I can jump 4 high. Uh...oh! And I can like "detect" in a way like radiation froma certain distance with like a weird buzzing in my head. And I'm all like do you hear something? And everyone's like no. And I can sense or sometimes even feel another person's emotions even when they're hiding it. But I can't control any of my abilities they just go on by themselves. I'm trying to teach myself to jump 5 feet. But then it'd look stupid if I fall that high.

I've had big pupils practicly all my life.
Somtimes they'd get small then they'd get big.
Is this a bad thing or somthing?
Cause Today my friend Abraham told me i had pretty eyes,because my pupils were big .
[my eyes are Blue/gray]
But last year we had this testing thing.To check if your spine was straight and the lady noticed i had big pupils and she asked me
"Do you do drugs"
Stupid ***** pissed me off.
So what does it mean when your pupils get really big.Randomly.?

I read somewhere it was a sign of great youth.And that some people in asia,and other countrys,they try to make their pupils big.why?

I feel overburdened with stress I feel to anxious most mornings to get up and deal with the world, I can’t sleep at night because I feel guilty for not going to school, and I feel stressed because I don’t know how I can survive in the world without an education, but getting one seems pointless to me, In fact this life seems pointless to me, I want so bad to believe that there is something more but I can’t seem to find it. Every job that is out there has no appeal to me because I don’t feel like I’m helping anything this is problematic because without having the motivation to work towards something I can’t go to school it’s a never ending circle that I don’t know how to come out of I feel upset all the time, and the only thing that has ever kept me going is love, but I feel so unloved lately that I can’t deal with it, I feel like I have nobody to talk to about my true nature, I’m alone in a city and I know people but I don’t want to open up to them because I don’t want to burden them.

I have a long history of ovarian cysts, raging PMS, vaginal infections etc....as far as I am concerned that entire system has always been slighty off kilter.....
I'm 35 and its starting to get worse.....I'm tired of doctors pushing birth control [it makes me bleed all month] that doesnt actually do much of anything.....

Do all y'all have suggestions?
Is there a regime that you would suggest?
I take cherry extract for my joints and cranberry because I'm also prone to frequent UTI - just in case that tells you anything.

Thank you - Be well - Peace

He took zero medical history, only filled out form with name and address and insurance. No assistant took any medical history.

I was told I have eczema..I broke out in an extremely itchy rash on my calves after remodeling. He concurred it was probably an allergy (to the dust or possible mold stirred up) that went to eczema.

Natural treatments I tried did not help. I want to get rid of it as it is unsightly and itchy but I am worried about potential problems.

He ordered a steroid cream (betamethasone dip aug .05% cream) for 6 weeks. He said it would be a lot better in a week but if I discontinued it before 6 weeks, it may come back.

I have just been told I may have high blood pressure, I had a fasting blood sugar of 151 (but ai c was 5.9)..this means I am prediabetic they said, Also I have developed severe gout and have arthritis. I am also clinically depressed and long felt I had adrenal insufficiency due to high stress for 20 years and symptoms of this.

I read this steroid cream

Oddly enough the first week on this pill, the amount of energy I had was great without bouncing off walls.....nice lift.
Now I feel sort of indifferent (neither happy or sad) and a little tired, during my 2nd week on prozac.
I've been put on 25mg for my anxiety/panic disorder.
....I don't know if pms is interferring with my current mood.

Any insights?
