I have a narcolepsy, specifically hypnagogia

I sleeptalk everytime I sleep, I also sleep at midday and even without knowing it... and during that time I sleeptalk as well

so how do you cure this?

okay. so im 14. i have had lots of staples and stitches. i have also played football for the last 5 years.

I always have a loud ringing in my ears. and if i hardly even tap on my head i almost want to cry. in football i have almost passed out too.

but, the rest of my body is very normal and i hardly ever feel physical pain.

i have bumps that come and go. they are very sensitive.

some times i feel brain dead. ( i am really a very smart person though) like i will ask what my name is. i will forget where i am. and i kinda forget everything. i stair at a random thing with my tongue sticking out. (very weird)

and the last thing is, i sometims cant see. like my vision is very blurry and i need glasses. but then it goes away.

my question, whats going on? why is my head so sensitive? is it normal? should i stop playing football? and should i see a doctor?

Is this a form of verbal abuse?
My first memory in life is when I was 3 years old, i was at my aunts house, she was having a big party and it was dark, i remember feeling scared and crying for my mother,, my mom picked me up and everyone including my aunt was lauging on the top of their lungs, my aunt said "WOW You shouldnt have picked her up, shes 3 too old and your babying her"
I remember feeling awful..
Then when my aunt used to drive to our neighborhood, shed start laughing out loud and making fun of our neighborhood, (we lived in a lower income area of the city shes from an affluent area)she say ""like "HAHAH OMG look at these shops, Johns Fried Chicken,HAHA do you eat there"? or "OMG I SEE A WHITE PERSON"" "OMG look how filthy the streets are,, OMG Joses Pizza, HAHAHAHAHA"

It took a major toll on my self esteem.. Then everytime id go to her house shed say "DONT YOU WANT TO LIVE HERE"?
Also when i was 7 yrs old i was chubby, she made me get on a scale in front of the whole family, they all laughed and called me

i feel soo cold all the time lately.. i know duh its winter.. but i used to love winter, and i never got so cold like this.. i used to be comfortable in a sweatshirt all winter, now when i go out in my winter jacket I'm still cold.. and it takes me forever to warm up again.. sometimes even in the house my shoulders will feel soo cold and my feet will be freezing even with shoes and socks on.. I'm usually the one to complain that I'm hot all the time, I'm usually happy if the heat is kept around 65-68 lately if its not on 70-72 or higher i feel like I'm freezing.. Could there be something wrong with me? maybe i need to take More vitamins or something?

For the last few years I'll go through a period of time when I just break out in weird skin rashes/hives through out the day. Its totally random, out of no where i'll break out in huge pink rash on random parts of my skin. They rarely itch but its embassing having big rashes swell all of a sudden. Could I be allergic to something or what?

I am very tiny (4'10" 90 lbs) and I normally have chicken legs and when I woke up this morning, my ankles and feet are bigger in diameter than my calves. I am 45 and take high blood pressure meds along with depakote. Has this happened to any of you? My ankles never swell up. Should I be worried?

First let me say I would never hurt myself, or another human being. I have been diagnosed for depression and anxiety disorder. I was mentally abused, and my dad pucnched me and threw me down on the ground untill my brother and mom pulled him off when I was 16 becasue I said "pissed off". I have been going to therapy since then I'm now 18, and going to a psychiatrist. Whenever I get extremely upset I break things. In the past two years I have broken 2 nice watches, punched a hole in my wall, cut my matress up to pieces with a box knife, smashed my $250 keyboard (I got a new one), torn the blinds off my window and shredded them up with a box knife, caught one of my guitars on fire and ripped the strings off which cut my hands up, and broken 7 cell phones by throwning them at walls, smashing them with a hammer etc. I don't know why I'm doing this and its starting to scare me. I havent told my psychiatrist about it. Is this related to the issuses I have or something else?

I had my wisdom teeth out 6 days ago and have been taking a moderate ammount of vicodin (One 500mg tab about 4 times daily), and supplementing with advil. I have a very sensitive mouth and it is still quite sore a week after the surgery (I had all 4 wisdom teeth and a molar pulled).
I went back to work yesterday for the first time and stopped taking the vicodin and got sick. I assumed it was because my mouth was in so much pain, but it appears that my body became addicted to it. I have worked with people in rehab and have quit taking the medicine and will get over this just fine. I must say im a bit upset about the fact that it happend. I smoked for 7 years and quit cold-turkey!
Regardless, my question is this: My mouth still hurts like hell! What can I do to make it feel better and not mess with my mini-addiction?

My husband got fat on our honeymoon, and he has put on weight again since we got back, yet he doesn't particularly care. He was quite fit and athletic previously. He admits that he has become fat and says he had never been fat before he met me but he doesn't even care about it. He is only 22. What should I do?

For years now, I have aknowledged that my home is cluttered. Not that bad but pretty bad in some areas of the house and to the point I am embarassed when people come over.
I always had a problem with cleaning sence I was a child and I now am recalling that my father had the same problem.
Everytime I try to clean I get so overwhelmed and depressed and tell myself I will do it later and wont.
My husband does not make the situation any better. He is famous for finding bargans and garbage picking and making the house worse.
I never understood what the heck our problems were that we can't get the energy to clean the place up!!
I just watched something on TLC about something called Hoarding Disorder? I read a little about it and I'm pretty sure we both share the same problem and I didnt know how serious it can get. I'm scared I am leading in that path but Im sure it's safe to say I am a mild case.
Has anyone ever had to deal with this problem before, and if so, how did you handle it?

Hey there, I recently just started to get over Bronchitis (still have a bit of a cough) and I have this dull pain just under my right rib. I have no other symptops besides a minor cough but before when I had Bronchitis I was coughing quite a bit. Now I was just concerned because I wasn't sure if this pain was there because I had been coughing so hard the last few weeks or if it could be something more serious. The pain is only really there when I apply preassure to it or sometimes if I turn when lying down.

They say that belly fat is the most harmful to your body (i.e. higher risk for diabetes and heart disease.) But they also say that is is easier to lose than fat stored in the lower body, is this true?
