The other day, I had a hard heavy door to slam me in the head accidentally. The next day, I was real dazed and my mom said I acted like I was in la-la land. I was really dazed. Later, I had a headache that felt like it had a lot of pressure in it. When I was walking, I suddenly lost my balance and almost fell and just caught myself in time. Today, I accidentally got hit in the head again. I'm a little dizzy. I've been hit in the head twice. Concussion?

i read that our bodies do not easily digest certain foods well (processed, fried, meat, etc...). and all our body really needs is natural foods such as fruit, veggies, and nuts. things that come from the earth. because we digest those foods well and it's very healthy for us.
i know i'm not going to only eat fruits, veggies, and nuts 24/7. but that's what my diet will mainly consist of. so this is what a regular day would look like (an example):

breakfast: fruit, lots and lots of fruit!
snack (if i'm hungry): fruit or veggies or trailmix
lunch: a big salad w/ nuts
snack: same as above
dinner: (i'm not sure about that yet...)
btw, this is just an example.

thanks in advance for any decent comments!

i dont think the school counselor is helping me, he told my mom that he thinks i have depression. and i have to say i agree with him. i know somethings wrong, but i just cant place it...like i cant describe it in words.

he just acts like im fine, made it all up, just here for attention and tells me to do everything different. well its not working...im not feeling any better. but i feel dumb going to see him so much telling him the same thing over and over. he dosnt seem to get it, my problems are more then "skin deep".

should i keep talking to him? and try to get through.
or...just ignore it, and hopefully things will resolve themself.
help. please.

I'm on a diet right now and before I started my period yesterday I was weighing 123. Now I weight 125 - 126. I just got my period yesterday and was wondering if it is the cause of this weight gain. This causes so much frustration! So is it the cause?

i really like her and she's very helpful (i feel the workouts, to say the least), but i'd simply be spreading myself a bit thin if i continued with her. what's a nice way to let her know that i can't continue?

i have 11 sessions left & she made mention of that today. plus, she let me know that she believe in me & she stated that she hoped she had earned my trust, etc. i just feel bad, but if i'm ever gonna pay off some other things and work towards purchasing a home, i can't keep spending money in/on things that aren't completely necessary.

thanks for your help (in advance.)

Collection agencies call my cell # all the time for the woman who used to have my #.

Tonight, someone called from a blocked # so I didn't answer. When I heard on the message that he was calling for the woman who used to have my #, I called back to tell them they have the wrong #. Some other guy answered. I tried to explain the situation, but he wouldn't let me talk, he kept shouting to talk over me, so I hung up. I don't need that aggravation, it's not even my problem.

Well, a minute later, he called me back. I answered (the # wasn't blocked this time), and he said, "Since you hung up on me, I'm leaving your number in our system". And he hung up on me! Now every couple minutes my cell rings, it's a blocked #. I know it's him. So now he's harassing me.

I called the unblocked # to complain, but of course, all I have is his first name.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I am soooooo cofused about who I am and who I want to be. I see different ppl around me, on the computer or tv and I decide I want to be like them and I cant be like them. I fail and find someone else to be like. (because I dont like who I am and alot of ppl inspire me) I have two different ways of thinking, I really can't explain it. I am shy, slow in certain areas, and self-centered. When i hear a song that compares to me and/or my life I start crying and get really depressed. Also my mom is a 75% melancholy and 25% cholaric. my dad: 75%phlegmatic and 25% melancholy. So i tend to be depressed alot. plzzzzz help!!!! I also hate school!! ANY ADVICE!???

Just got back from seeing a Dr for anxiety that I've been living with for the last couple of years. The Dr didn't ask me any questions but prescribed effexor for me which I used about 5 years ago to deal with depression from being sexually abused as a child. I don't feel depressed, I'm just sick of feeling anxious in social situations or when I have to do things out of the norm in my everyday life and feel a little floored that I seem to back in square one when I feel I have delt with the depression and the issues that caused them. Do you think effexor is the right medication for me to be on considering I really dont feel depressed but really anxious? I'm also a little concerned about taking medication that from what I understand is long term treatment, do you think my Dr's choice in medication is correct or are there other medications out there that may be more appropriate? Thanks in advance, I just feel my Dr hasn't really understood me and need to know if this medication will help.

Okay, I do have a strong personality but lately I feel too angry and irritable...like pms everyday. Four years ago I had an embolization to shrink fibroids in my uterus. This was my first indication that my problem was hormonal. Clicking noises bother the hell out of me. I speak too sharply to people sometimes and I feel attacked at certain moments. I'm articulate and generally a nice person but recently I've been what even I term a "b@#tch". Anyone can relate or tell me what could be going on? I'm 43 years old, still get my period regularly, overweight, a professional and usually pretty easy going and fun to be around. HELP! Should I get meds? Take certain vitamins? Xanax? I don't know and don't want to just medicate myself with no results. I'm not depressed but have had a few traumatic events happen one after the other. A baby we were adopting was taken away, my uncle died in a car accident and I'm fat (again, after losing 25 lbs, I've gained 30 back) HELP!

This might sound like a strange question. Does anyone know if the nutrients in semen, such as the abundant amount of protein, are absorbed by the women's body's after vaginal sex? If anyone has any information on this, please post a web address as well. Thanks.

I've seen a lot of posts about similar things, but nothing seems to give the answer.

I've had a sensation that there's something in my throat, but it won't move. I've tried so much... Drinking a large amount of water in small bursts, gargling, etc. I've even gone as far as putting my finger down my throat to see if anything's there. (My gag reflex is a bit odd).

I haven't done anything out of the ordinary either. Could it just be an infection or something? or something more sinister?

I would like to know if I am overtraining my triceps if I follow this workout. I do one day bench, one day military press, one day bench, one day military press, and so on. Would I be overtraining my triceps? Similarly, would one day pull ups and one day rows be overtraining my biceps?

Please answer if you actually know.
