I've had huge migraines for a little over a week now, and I've figured out it's from computer screens and TV. I'm on the computer for at least 2 hrs a day at school, one for my research project and one when I'm a library aide. What can I do to prevent the monsters from invading my life? When I type I change the background to black and the font to gray, and it seems to help a little.

If its your first time having sex and you use a condom the right way. What are your chances of still getting pregnant? I know its unlikely but what kind of chance is there? I heard it was a 20% still even if you use a condom, is that true?

My relative was born with a hole int heir heart that the doctors never knew about so eventually the hole grew bigger.

But they said that the exact cause of death was a heart attack and a stroke in their sleep. I just don't get how it can be both? Can someone explain this to me? Thanks.

I'm 19 and have depression. Have been seeing a counsellor for the past 5 weeks but don't really feel that there has been that it has had much of an effect, if any. Have considered seeing my GP and taking antidepressants, but want to become a psychologist and so am petrified that if depression goes onto my medical record then I won't be as attractive from an employer's perspective. Is there any way that I can avoid depression being put onto my medical record? (Am a UK resident.)

Also as a side note:
-Are there any forms of antidepressants that DON'T cause bloating? - my self image is already a big enough issue for me as it is.

Thanks.

i started seeing a psychiatrist in october (two months ago), and since then have recieved two medications and counseling. i started taking Lexapro and then Klonopin, and my psychiatrist hasn't specified what my diagnosis was. she has made references to 'my anxiety' and 'my intrusive thoughts' as well as excessive thinking and overanalyzation of things, which implies i'm being diagnosed for general or social anxiety. however, this has never been completely verified. when i asked if i had depression, she doesn't respond directly, seemingly avoiding a labe. recently, she suggested i take Abilify, telling me it would 'help clear my thoughts' and 'fix my thinking process'. after i took two pills, i looked up what it was on the internet to get more information on what it is used for, and the first most common treatments are for 'schizophrenia' and manic depression (bipolar disorder). do i have a personality disorder? is it so serious my counseler can't tell me, or i can't tell what she says?

So how many calf raises should I do a day using stairs to improve my vertical leap? And I want results in 2-3 months, thanks :)

ive just been on a website about diabetes and it says one of the risks of developing diabetes is severe mental health problems, amongst other symptoms. How can severe mental health problems be a risk factor?

I'm a woman in her mid 40s who really never had much self-confidence particularly with guys. I know I'm intelligent and attractive. I have nice friends but I think I was born shy and usually lacked the confidence and determination to persevere with a relationship. Some guys have been really in love with me and even proposed to me but they were not right for me. When I meed someone I'm really crazy about, I often mess it up with either nerves or inability to communicate my feelings. I often make the mistake of not believing they could possibly be into me if Im really attracted to them. This is making my life hell at the moment. Every other area is great..I'm so lucky with good health, I look great for my age (often taken for early 30s) get asked out quite a lot and have a great job. Any tips really really appreciated!

I recently had a flu and i threw up for the first time in several years since I usually only get head-colds instead. But even since I was sick, I'm slowly recovering, and I'm really* hungry but everything I try to make i eat two bites and I'm not interested. If I could force it i will, but the thought of eating is nauseating, but I need food! please help!

He has been having a lot of anxiety attacks recently. He didn't go to school for the past 2 weeks in 1 class because he was afraid he'd have a PA in class. He has told his instructor about an illness he has, but the instructor has told him that "to make up the final, you'll have to show the dean an excuse".

What should he do? His dad is an MD, but his dad may get mad that he hasn't got help for it. Which is another thing-taking medicine gives him a PA. He fears that it will do damage to his body.

I've had a severe headache for almost two days now. I've had headaches before, but they usually don't last this long and I try to ignore it. But every sound I hear just makes me wanna curl up in a ball and die. I've been reading on the internet about medicines you can get, and I think I'm going to go to the doctor in a week or so. But the problem is, my friend has migraines and she has Hydrocodone for them. She says they work great but they probably won't give them to me because people get dependent. How can I convince my doctor to give me those instead of the other stuff? I don't wanna beat around the bush with this, I can't take this anymore.

my cycle is off and i kno a lot of people on birth control for that reason.
but i'm Catholic and as a Catholic it's wrong to use birth control because you shouldn't be having sex anyway unless trying to concevie.
but my question is would it be wrong to get birth control to regulate things and not for the use of not geting pregnant.
or is it wrong?
