Health - 3 November 2007

everyone whenever i meet them and people i already know the first thing they say to me is "oh you're Ashley's sister aren't you?" and i always get referred to as "Ashley's little sister" and not my name except my best best friends and teachers. Everyone's always like "why aren't you like your older sister?"
I'm quiet and shy and my older sister is loud and flashy and everyone likes her and not me (i know i sound jealous i can't help it) and all i hear is "oh how come you're not like her. you're sisters" and i get compared with her all the time.
my parents don't directly compare us but whenever i do something their always like "ashley did this...but ashley did that?"
i'm getting so depressed i feel like nobody wants me but only wants me to be a copy of my older sister...how come no one likes me?

*sometimes i get so down i think about suicide (seriously) and what would be the coolest way to go because i feel no one cares*

I know this sounds like a strange question, but I was sort of prompted to ask it when I recently saw a movie in which there was an expensive gigolo who provided his services to rich, elderly women. I would imagine that female prostitutes are able to provide their services, because they don't have to be sexually aroused to perform. However, I would imagine that men have to be aroused in order to get and sustain an erection and be able to perform. I can't imagine how gigolos must be able to become erect if they have to provide their services to women they may perhaps find repulsive. Does anyone know?

Anyone watch "Shallow Hal"? Do some humans really have "tails"? My gf has a nub on her tail bone and I am wondering if she has a tail or if she can wiggle it? I dont want to offend her by asking. Thanks!

i am just about to start on zyban to quit smoking, i know that i have no adverse reactions with zyban alone, as i started a treatment about a year ago that i was unfortunately unable to finish. i also suffer from scoliosis and use codeine phosphate 10mg fairly regularly to control my pain, its difficult to come up with an average of use as it varies, some days i take none, others i take up to 90mg depending upon my needs. does anyone know of any incompatability with these two drugs? i know i should just go to the docs but i work full time and if i wait to see a doc, it could be another week or 2. im ready to quit right now! thanks everyone :-)

Sorry for sounding harsh, but I don't understand why so many overweight people drink diet pop. Am I the only one who's known people that seem 'proud' that they choose DIET over regular?

I have recently been questioning if I have ocd, but I don’t feel like going to a therapist because they cost to much. My (I guess) odd rituals are counting in even numbers, having the tv volume on only even numbers, not stepping on cracks (including the lining of tiles), counting the steps of stairs, doing random math in my head (like if the time is 9:27 I always divide 9 into 27, add them up, find the square root of them, etc), making sure things are lined up, and planning out conversations that I haven't even had yet. Also like my mom has noticed that I think differently; like I think of a different answer to a question that most wouldn't have thought of, or like I would randomly ask questions that have nothing to do with the conversation. Sometimes I would think so much about random things that I get headaches from it. These rituals though don’t take up that much time and I don’t even do them everyday, so then does it mean that I don’t have ocd?

If I run 2 miles per day during the week (mon-fri) and do 25 push-ups & 50 crunches per night (I'll increase the amounts as my body adapts to it) and do arm curls with weights every other night (i'll increase the weight and reps as i get stronger); will i lose weight? and will i lose weight at a normal rate (2lbs/week - ish)? (((I weigh ~210lbs))) (if i follow that schedule, about how much could i safely lose by the end of Febuary?) Thanks so much :)

I don't know any other way to describe what I am feeling, but it feels like my brain is going to explode. My head has been feeling a lot of pressure inside it, and it makes my ears and cheeks feel swollen. Sometimes during the night it is hard to sleep and hard to wake up because it's so tight. I dont want it to be anything serious, but it's happening at this moment, and I have no idea what to do about it.
