Health - 22 December 2007

Without going into a lot of detail, I had some nasty things done to me by the neighbor's step dad when I was 5 years old. It was so traumatic that my brain literally blanked out the memories until I was 31. It has been 4 months since the memories resurfaced and my life has been in shambles. I've left my job, my marriage is falling apart, I'm running out of money yet can't work. I get stressed out and crazy over nothing. Now I feel like I'm going insane, looking at myself from the outside when I say things I know I don't mean. I've been to the hospital to ask for help, but I'm not going to take drugs because I want to heal myself, not cover up the pain like it had been for 26 years. I'm seeing a counselor in January, but my marriage is unravelling, and I am just a nervous wreck each day. I used to be a high school teacher and now I just lay in bed all day or flip out over useless things. If anyone has been through this, please help or maybe we could email. Any men, also? Thanks.

My boyfriend thinks that he is not like the normal human and that his superior brain capacity requires a different eating plan. He says his brain requires him to eat TOO much food to fuel it.

He believes he should only eat 1 big meal a day. He thinks he is fat when he is not nearly the least bit chubby!! I try telling him to just eat healthy and work out at the same time, but he tells me that he has a naturally ripped body under all his "fat". Therefore, he believes that he doesn't need to work out and that he just needs to stop eating b/c his brain is the problem.

In reality, he just doesn't eat healthy food! I can't wait till we move in together b/c i will be doing ALL the food shopping and making him eat healthy.

Does anyone have any advice for me to help my boyfriend realize he is crazy and just needs to eat healthy and exercise like the rest of the human world???

I know that holding onto it is smart, because it's something that I can't ever get back. I was sure to date someone that I know isn't going to pressure me, until he asked me what would I do if he were to get me pregnant. I'm 17 years old, and not planning on having sex anytime soon. I'm smart, and even lost the last boyfriend because he was pressuring me too much.
I'm just curious to know at what age you lost your virginity. My dad was 16, and my mom was 18.

The past several nights I've felt really dry. Almost like that feeling you get when you have a fever, but I don't have one. Could it be I'm dehydrated?? I don't drink as much water as I used to and I drink a lot of caffeine (coffee & tea) ...if I go drink a lot of water now I'll be up all night having to take a leak lol

I was just wondering, I have a very good amount of muscle on my legs (I do track, tennis, and football), and I am trying to build my legs a lot now. I've been running, and doing squats for my thighs and Iv'e also been running. I was just wondering though,aside from leg muscle, would stronger leg bones also help me run faster?
I'M NOT DOING PILLS-I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE NATURAL.
Also what can I eat to get stronger bones

I've come on here before asking about anorexia and I realize that I might be anorexic... But it just won't sink in. I understand I could have it and all, but I don't believe it could be true. It feels like theres nothing to worry about... I still feel really fat and I don't know what to do.

I was going to mention something to my doctor when I went because of my broken ankle, but my mother was in the room and I don't want to say anything about it unless I am 100% sure that it is a problem.

I do skip meals, and I have gone days without eating...
I am fourteen and I weigh about 100 pounds

What should I do?

Is it possible to accurately (within five/ten years) determine a person's age based solely on a detailed picture of that person's eye? If so, how?

Hi I was planning on ordering contacts but they did not have the same base curve as my current contacts. My perscribed base curve was 8.4 but I wanted to try a different contact lenses that don't dry out as easily.

I am currently wearing the Acuvue Oasys with a BC of 8.4 and a diameter of 14. These for some reason still have the dry feeling on my eyes after 8 hours of wearing them and I was planning on ordering the Acuvue Advance with a BC of 8.3 and a diameter of 14.

Is it truly okay for me to wear the contact lenses with a different base curve even though it is not the same one that was perscribed to me. Will there be any concequences in term of long term health of my vision? And if anyone has used the Acuvue Oasys and the Acuvue Advance could you guys give me feedback on which one you believe is better.

Thanks for the help!

Decided earlier this month to try for a second child and took nuvaring out after only two days of it being in. I had my period two weeks before on 11/23 then on 12/01 started a two bleed session after taking the ring out on 12/01. Now I have taken four pregnancy test and everyone said negative. My period was due on 12/21 and still nothing. DId my cycle get pushed back because of the second bleed. Did I ovulate later than I should beause I took out my birth control? I put in my new birth control because we decided to wait until we move in two months so I am not prego going cross country. Should I take out new ring and wait until I get my period?
