Health - 27 December 2007

I really need to go to a therapist or a phychiatrist or something. I think I have social anxiety and mild depression ... although one of my closest friends think I may have OCD. I know I am sick and should go get help but I am so scared to. I don't know what kind of help to get and I really hate going places when I don't know what to expect. I also don't want to have to be on medcation and I am afraid of what people will think of me if I am diagnosed with anything. I know I should go but I just can't bring myself to do it!

I need to know if i am depressed or not. I am just in eighth grade and i am dealing with alot of activities in and out of school. I know that depression runs on my dad's side of the family. I am always tired, I get sick alot, I really have to push myself to get off the couch, I don't feel like doing the simplest tasks like homework. My grades are going down hill because i feel like l'm swamped with all of this confusion. I don't know if it's just because i'm a teen and I am experiencing new things or what.

I have thought about suicide before but i just always tell myself that it is never a solution. I don't cut myself or harm myself because i know that it's wrong. I think about it but i have never done it. I just need to clear up confusion about my mind.

If you do happen to have leukemia since it was passed down, at what age does it show? Can you get tested at any age if you have it or not? Can you get it treated and be fully healed?

Hey! okay, I am about 5'0 or 5'1 and weigh about 110. i know that seems like nothing, but i really need to weigh about 95-100 lbs.

Does anyone have an easy and quick way i can get down to that weight by about end of febuary? I know that its totally reasonable to lose that in about 2 months, but i want to make sure that it happens and stays off.

I'm a cheerleader and a flyer (the one they put up in the air) and its really competitive and there is another flyer who is the same size as me but lighter. i have more skills than her but they let her do more stunts cause she is lighter, so i REALLY need to lose this weight so i can beat her out come try outs at the end of febuary/beg. of march.

i know that sounds crazy, but if you were a flyer you would understand when your bases tell you that you are heavy and stuff.

I know that i have a little extra fat on me, so i KNOW that it is safe to lose the weight.

Thanks sooo much guys!!

I have been cutting myself for about a year and i have to wear long sleaves when i have cuts on my arms but not when i have scars. My mom knew about the first time, not the many times after. I am in seventh grade. My life is really stressful. My parents yell at me all the time, i lost 2 friends in my sixth grade for this reason, only two of my friends understand and i can only count on one of them and i talk to her a lot, and over the summer, i was harassed by someone who goes to my school. I told the guidence counsuler, nothing happened or changed.

I thought i had finally stopped cutting, but then, i got really upset and started again. My friend is getting to be really mad at me. I really want to stop, I just don't know how.

I've been on Ortho Tri-Cyclen for over three years now, and for the last few months I've been having some side-effects which I know can sometimes happen even after being on the same pill for a long time. My breasts get sore around day 10 every month, I've had a decreased sex drive... things like that. So I'm thinking about switching pills, eventhough I've been mostly happy with OTC for over three years. I just wondered if anyone else had similar experiences after being on the same pill for so long, and if anyone has suggestions about what to switch to. I've been looking into monophasics, I'm thinking about Ortho 0.5/35....

I noticed that whenever I drink fluids or eat anything I always end up having to cough or clear my throat due to excess mucous. I am not sick or anything I do have allergies, but I don't have post nasal drip. I am unsure what could be causing me to clear my throat after eating. What should I do?

I got my braces off almost a week ago and got my retainer and everything and it was fine until yesterday. I woke up with and awful sore throat and it almost felt like my throat was closing. My first thought was that I just caught a bug because I get sore throats really easily, and that it may have come off of my retainer. But it didn't really feel completly like a sore throat, my throat kind of felt tighter and like it had been cut up. My throat also was almost fine later in the day, just a little sore. I didn't sleep with it in last night and today I was fine. So my question is, is it possible that I could be allergic to my retainer? Or am I just crazy?

i have 4 warts on my right ring finger, 1 wart on my left pinky, and 1 on the bottom of my right foot.

i used to only have on in the palm of my right hand, but i tripped and it fell off (my hand happened to skid across the sidewalk), and thats when all these started to appear?

i tried this wart medicine, but it didnt work...

...so i was just curious if you could suggest some wart medicine i could possibly buy to get rid of these, and also tell me how warts come to be...?

Someone had asked me.. "Is masturbating wrong?" I'm shocked.. Anyone would be, if you're a girl..
That's why, I passed this question to my teacher.. Well, she said something different about it..

I've been on cymbalta for 11 months and my Dr and I decided it's time to get off it. I'm on 60 mg and he told me to start taking it everyother day for the next few weeks and see him again then. I'm just wondering about anybody's experience with going off cymbalta and if it was difficult at all if done gradually? Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi, I'm 15 yrs. old and during the past couple of months, I've had some pretty severe allergic reactions. At first, I thought it was just wheat. But then as I looked at the signs and symptoms of Celiac disease, I realized that I might have that. I do have a fairly short stature compared to my brothers and parents and I in the past, I have had at least 3 other signs (which I won't mention). Are there any ways to cope with this or do I really have to avoid gluten products for the rest of my life? I've had Luna bars and know that they don't have any wheat, but are there any other types of gluten-free snacks and cereals? Also, is there any way to know how much damage I already have? Thanks much! :)

Okay I was just curious if Coffee can actually stunt your growth... Or does it only stunt your growth if you are a child and drink coffee?

My dog just was just nutered yesterday and his nails were freshly cut by them. But I've heard that everyone (humans included) have their nails cut before receiving anesthesia.

I'm 17 and in high school, and I'm a smart girl and my teachers and other adults are fond of me, but I've always kind of been on my own, and although I've had friends and have never been picked on, I've never quite fit in either. I'm quieter and reserved, and I have some weird issues. I'm really depressed and have no means of getting help, as my parents don't buy into the depression thing, and I'm obsessive and irrational when it comes to people and how I communicate with them and react to situations. I'm just irrational and I worry and stress a lot. I'm just in a hard place and I don't know what to do about it. I think I turn people away from me by acting like this, however I feel like I can't stop myself. I want to be liked and fit in, and not feel invisible, and I think I've forgotten how to interact with people my age. I feel like I'm going crazy and I just don't know what to do. Any suggestions?
