about three days ago i pulled muscles in my back and arms. The pain is so bad it hurts to lay down, to get dressed and to even carry my books to class. Is there anything i can do to get rid of the pain fast? Please ANYTHING!!
Thanks in advance!

Sorry but once again i'm just posting my opinion up here.

'its not the size its how you use it' Ive seen this line soo many times today. Sorry but this may be true for your highschool sweet heart, but in the big bad world of propper sexually experienced women, you may find this not to be the case.

Ok, so ask a woman, what do you prefer:
- A guy thats small that can use it well or
- A guy thats big that can use it well

Surely people need to understand that just as boobs matter to some blokes, penis's matter to some girls.

Surely theres something more important to talk about though.... lol

Hey there,
I've always wondered...Are you still protected if you're on the pill, but are currently on the placebo ones and have sex? I've read that you are..however..I've also heard that you can become pregnant if you forget a pill. So if you're on the placebo pills, you're technically missing 7..Any clarification? Thanks!

I'm trying to get back on track with my life. I'm in the last year of college. I've known that I suffered from depression/anxiety at least since I started college, if not before that. Last year, I nearly took my life. I told my family and friends about it and got help. I also failed two courses that semester, withdrew from another one and was placed on academic probation as a result of my personal issues. I started taking anti-depressants and decided to take a semester off to cope with my depression. My family was very supportive during this period and I am very fortunate for this. I’m not sure why I cracked but it has something to do with being a perfectionist. In school, I was always getting good grades and my friends and family alike have this impression that I’m very ‘smart’. I’ve always felt like a fraud because of this and that if they knew the real me they would learn how stupid I actually am. In the last year of my high school, I became very depressed/ stressed but no one really knew about it because on the outside I appeared very cool. I had a meltdown of sorts at home and my parents and I thought it would be best for me to not finish school but go and do a 6-month foundation studies program in Australia affiliated with a university there. I basically was eligible for this as I had good grades for my ‘O’ levels. Whether this was a good decision or not, it was made and I left for Australia. When I look back now I realize that I was ashamed to leave without completing junior college (or pre-university) and I did not like foundation studies as they focused on teaching English to people whose native language is not English whereas mine is. In first year of college, I never really told anyone that I had done foundation studies as I was afraid they would judge me or look down on me. So I let them assume that I had done ‘A’ levels. They also thought that I was extremely smart for some reason (I really don’t know why they thought this as I hadn’t given any reason for them to think this apart from the fact that I told them I study science!). When exam time came around, I got all sorts of grades ranging from Cs to As. However when my friends asked me, they would say things such as ‘got all As??’ and I wasn’t honest enough to say no, so I would just lie about my grades to them. I felt immensely guilty about this and this spiraled me into further depression. I am sad that I can’t open up to my friends, I feel guilty and ashamed about my so-so grades when I know that I am capable of achieving so much more if I wasn’t so anxiety-ridden about everything. When I resumed studies this year, I again had to cope with so-so grades. It hurts, because I love my subjects but it’s my fear of what others will think and my inherent depression that prevents me from doing my best in them. I wish I could be more open with my friends, but I feel like the fact that I lied to then in the past prevents me from doing so. I feel really trapped by my own actions in the past and I’m not sure what to do now.

I've been diagnosed as bipolar, and I think I was misdiagnosed. My doctor had me take a survey, read my answers, and told me I was bipolard without discussing my answers with me. One was "you have trouble focusing". I do, but I have been doing online classes with a 4-yr old and a 6-month old at home, obviously I have trouble focusing. I do believe I have a form of depression, I get sad and worried over lots of things, I've always got something on my mind, yada yada. Anyway, my doctor prescribed Lithium for me. I've read up on the side effects of it, and I am scared to death!! I asked for just a basic anti-depressant and he refused, telling me to see a psychiatrist if I didn't want the medication he was prescribing! I'm not crazy, I don't have terrible mood swings, I don't go off the deep end! Is there anyone out there that has been in this situation? I would love to hear the pros/cons of personal Lithium experiences before I put this drug in me! I have 2 kids that need me!

I had a baby when I was fairly young and went on birth control. I was on all different ones (depo shot, patch and pill) for 6, almost 7 years. I decided to stop to try to replenish my "system". I am finally with the man of my dreams and I want to have a baby with him now but I am deathly afraid I wont be able to get pregnant because i messed up my body so bad. I dont do drugs, I dont drink, I live a very straight life. Does anyone know about this subject? Or have any advice? Thanks so much.

I have a daughter who is 14 years old, and she is a freshman in high school. Last Tuesday...in school she fainted because she hadn't eaten anything since Thursday night. She was taken directly to the hospital from the school in an ambulance...and she was there for six hours. She hasn't been eating still...even though the doctor has told her she has to eat. When she does eat, it's such a small amount of food. I wonder how she can be full with that little amount. She says she doesn't get hungry. I know from the therapist at the hospital...that she is having some problems in her life...since her father and I fight frequently...she's also having some problems with a guy that she's liked for a while. Something with him playing mind games with her. I know she's not aneroxic...but I'm thinking she has another eating disorder...can anyone figure it out? I want to know what's wrong with her so I can help her. Why isn't she eating and what's wrong with her?

What would drive another to purposely try to make a person go crazy? Assuming you overheard it with your own ears. Assuming you know it to be true... Someone is trying to hurt you by making you go crazy, for instance doing something and pretending it never happened, playing mind games, trying to make you believe you are crazy.. what is the purpose of this?
