Health - 13 December 2007

I've suffered from depression, on and off, (more on than off) for about 10 years. I think I'm over the worst. In the early days I didn't know what was wrong with me and it nearly drove me completly over the edge. Rather than see a doctor, I thought (arogantly) that I could sort myself out. To be fair, I didn't do too bad. I got myself out of the worst of it. The problem is, it's still there. Everyone thinks I'm fine and somedays I think so too but it's holding me back from doing the things I want to do. Just recently, it's got to the stage where all I do anymore is sleep and go to work. I'm trying to go back to university (and have been for a few years) but I just can't seem to do the things I'm meant to. I'm not doing anything I enjoy anymore, I hardly see my friends and I can count the amount of times I've been on a night out this year on one hand. Things are bad again. So i'm gonna go to the Dr, problem is I just don't know what to say or what he'll say. Wot can he do

I have paraphilic infantilism. I have this need to dress up like a baby and wear disposable underwear. I get the urge to do this frequently and can't resist the activity. The problem is that after I engage in the activity I feel stupid and my self-esteem goes down. When my self-esteem goes down, my clinical depression gets worse. I want to stop this but can't. The problem started around age 4 and has been continuing relentlessly for almost 2 decades now.

haven't visited my native country for over 7 yrs, and I have loved ones there. I got so many irrational thoughts like: I'm worried that my plane would crash, I'm worried that I would be killed in a bomb ( my native country is a high terrorist target), I'm worried that I would be kidnapped, and many more worries.
should I stop worrying even though there is a great chance that all my fears could happen?

I know this sounds weird, but after I pee, it hurts to wipe. Like, it stings really bad. It's never happened before. I'm currently on my period, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it. What could cause this?

It might be that I want to buy a new sweater, but think I don't deserve it, that I already have one so why buy another. It's like I'm not worthy, because there are so many truly suffering people due to wars and povery and I should just be happy to make do and not expect anything good for myself.

Like when I smile widely, my left side has more crease and "fatness" than my right side. I actually felt it and my left side is more mushy and right side more bony.

I'm not on birthcontrol now, but I use to and I still get confused when it says the sunday after your period to take it. I asked my doctor about it and she said to just take it on any sunday. When I get my next pack again should I wait until my next period is over and take it the sunday after? Another question if i stop my period on a sunday can i still take the pill that day? This is all just too confusing. Anyone that knows alot about birthcontrol please help.

i had a ultra sound done on my neck because i had a lump my doctor called with the results and wants me to go see a surgen. she did not say anything about what it was just to make a appointment. Im guessing this is nothing "SERIOUS" if she said i can wait 5 days to meet with the surgen. Why would I need to see a surgen????? Very scared!! Do you think she knows whats on my neck and is not telling me?
