Seriously, it's not easy finding jeans and slacks that fit right. Forget about wearing some dresses. There goes my butt sticking out all the way to the other side of the room!
lol. I like having booty,,but this is just too much! I'm not proportionate to the rest of my body :*( Will just jogging help?

This is kinda scary to think about and admit.
I am going to make an appointment, but I don't want my husband to know or look at me differently...than he probably already does.
But I have been avoiding social issues~spent christmas alone.
I know I truely don't have anything to be so sad about...but I am.
I just can't shake this feeling of dispair....and its hard to put it in words. I'm concerned about medication, will it turn me into a zombie and will I loose my job from being on medication. Will people think I'm crazy or weak for seeking help. I am already very hard on myself...just looking for advice from people who have been there before.

im very active and love sports and have an aptitude for it, but i didn't play much sports and didn't play competitive ones because i was guilty and lacked confidence
when im gulty, i can't even eat properly and since there's less salivas
im talented in everything than most people, but guilt is what holds me back
now everything i do is infected by myself being conscious and thinking that i won't be able to do good if im feeling like this
do you think this would have affected my 1st year university grades?
i played piano for years but i was really stressed when i had this feeling
even when i was a conversation with someone, i suddenly get really conscious and think about what im feeling guilty about at that time and have a freezing point or something to that extend
i want to show what i've got and excel in everything, but this gets me really stressed

I was talking to a friend who claims to know of someone who was standing around before band practice talking to his mates, and he stopped mid-sentence, complained about feeling ill, keeled over and died. The cause, according to this friend of mine, was simply that his heart had stopped, not caused by disease, poisoning etc., it just simply stopped beating, as if it had run its course for this man's life.

I'm wondering, is this medically possible?

Anyone that takes this, do you have anxiety and ulcer problems? Also is this a calcium channel blocker or beta blocker or neither? I know it is an ACE Inhibitor, is this separate from the blockers?

Thanks for your kind answers to my questions.

I keep getting tension headaches that stem from my neck. Either side of my neck will hurt and then cause a headache up the back of my head to the front of my eye. I have been getting them almost once a week. I am not sure if I should go to the doctor or just find some sort of muscle relaxer??? I do take spasm meds for my neck already at night since I have a lot of strain already with a few neck issues from a car accident. The tension headaches and pain are getting worse and more frequent so I wasnt sure what to do. Any ideas?

I've tried to quit soooo many times before but never succeeded for more than a couple of days. I have a child who I don't smoke around directly but I'm sure must be affected by it passively, I can't actually afford to smoke, and now I've developed a viral infection I find I can't actually breath properly and have been told I may well have asthma which I haven't had for years. Giving up nicotine doesn't seem that hard a thing to do, especially with all the nicotine replacement inhalers and gum etc.

But how do I live without cigarettes? What do I do when I'm stressed? What do I do when I need to take five minutes out to de-stress because my toddler's drawn on the walls? What do I do while I'm waiting for someone to show up?

It's not giving up the drug that bothers me, it's the habit.

I'm fed up with these doctors, I think they're all crazy(no offense if your a doctor, if your a doctor what do you think this is?)

I've been having stomach pain for about a month now, after one week of pain we went to my normal doctor he told me I had a bladder infection and to take the medicine I did for one day but then he called us and said that we can stop because no bacteria grew. I stopped, felt bad for a week got better for 3 days then I started feeling worse than the first episode. Went back to the doctor, told him my symptoms of stomach pain, loss of appeite, ect then he told me it was colitis and he put me on Batrim DS, couldn't keep it down made my stomach feel a million times worse, after handling it for 2-3 days I couldn't take it anymore, went to the ER by this time I had already lost about 10 pounds, didn't keep anything down for about 2-3 days(throwing up everything and was almost dehydrating. Doctor at hospital did urine sample, came back positive like the first one.

been lonely ? lived alone by yourself for any stretch of time with little or nobody to turn to ?

how did you cope ?

im 30 i have borderline personality disorder and live in a one bedroom flat on disability benifit.

i have been in a rut recentley, isolating myself in my flat , not wanting to face the world....not even answering my phone.....my thoughts are racing where i feel overwhelmed.....keep forgetting things....dont even want to deal with opening mail.

my moods fluctuate everyday...always low and hopeless...feeling reliant on benifit...feel worried about going out and facing society.

a couple of weeks ago i missed a therapy appointment because of high levels of panic/ anxiety....so now theyve discharged me to be refered again.....so i feel i let myself down with that.
i have goals and dreams i dont no how to reach...and i feel unable to rely on myself...like i want a person to come do it all for me.
plus i have alot of worries, stress & im not sure where to start.

The episodes begin somatically. I can feel the familiar, "Spacey" sensation within a few minutes prior to the episode. They only last between 5 and 10 minutes and seem to be less frequent than they have been in the past.

I believe myself to be ADHD-I, predominately innattentive and have suffered with boughts of depression in the past. I've been on Prozac for two years now, which has possibly aided to reduce the frequency of episodes.

The distortions often manifest themselves in a visuo-spacial manner, making it impossible to judge depth and distance. Everything looks as if it could be an inch from my face or 50 miles. The only way I can tell it's relative distance is by judging exclusively by the relative size of the object. The closer it is, the bigger it looks.

I often have a slight feeling of dissociation and voices run through my head. Not audible voices, but it's much like someone else is influencing my train of thought. It's spontaneous and sometimes violent in nature.

There are all kinds of places that offer massage therapy, and some that might do extra things that might be morally/ ethically/ legally questionable. How do I know if a place is reputable so I don't put myself at risk?

I am trying to help my husband lose about 20 pounds. He has been working out for weeks, but doesn't seem to be losing any weight. I finally realized it is because of the food I have been feeding him. Please help me help him!

My mom cooked everything in butter, and I do too. I love frying food. I love avocado. I don't know how to cook low in calories. I have a fast metabolism, I am actually underweight! I eat junk. I need to help us both be healthy.

In other words, please help me plan a menu!
