I just discovered thyroid disorders, and some of the symptoms match up. However, I am not gaining weight, and that seems to be a key issue with thyroid disorders.

A guy friend of mine is constantly attaching himself to girls that have had difficult pasts. The girls usually have been molested, abused, former addicts, etc...He himself was molested at a young age. He doesn't seem to have confidence around confident outgoing girls with no history of trauma. But, he feels comfortable around girls with traumatic histories. His relationships to these girls are loving and caring, but it doesn't seem like he can stand the pressure of being with a well adjusted person with no history.

Why is he attracted to these types of girls when so many well adjusted girls are available to him?

I'm 26 male and insecure b/c I haven't had a girlfriend, kissed a girl, or had sex with a girl. I get very nervous around attractive girls. I was a virgin until 23 when I met a guy online just to lose my virginity. I was w/ a guy b/c I didn't expect to be w/ a girl anytime soon. I've been w/ several guys since then, all met online. I fantasize and am attracted to girls, but cannot get with girls. Girls flirt w/ me, but I dont have the confidence to act. The only people that seem to want me are the guys I meet online. Sometime when I was 6-8 yrs old, my grandfather groped my crotch once. My grandmother saw and told me to never tell my parents, which I still haven't b/c my grandfather passed and it's a small issue. When I was 6 or 7, I used to hang out with mostly girls and play with dolls b/c I wanted to be close to girl friends. Only after a camp counselor chided me did I start to hang out with guys only and become closed off to females, as I am now.

My brother has been recommended treatment at a hospital outside our local authority (refered to by our local authority). They have a recommended course of action but are sitting on the decision citing bugetary constraints. Are there any ways we can pressure the local authority to ensure appropriate services are provided - as none are currently being provided (they have discharged him from all outpatient services) as they thought he would be granted inpatient status at the new hospital. I am particularly interested in legal process as the situation is critical yet the local authority does nothing - worse actually by cutting off service provision. Not that I am looking to extort compensation or anything - just to ensure a desperate family member gets the treatment they have been recommended. Please help...

I have a list load of problems. Let's start out with my job. I work for a big retail company(You can guess which one) that is the only job pretty much in the town I live in. I have a anxiety problem with crowds, and yet I work in the only retail store in town, so you can guess what my weekends are like. PANIC ATTACK!!! My wife asks me why don't I talk, and when I do talk she interupts and says I'm talking too much. I live in the same house with my mother in law, who thinks kids should just be quiet, when my kids are energized. When I try to put my input down on something, everybody goes the other direction. I wander why that is, when everybody says I'm the hardest worker, and very smart. I feel like going into a cave and hiding. Trying to start a career and getting nowhere, starting a life which seems to be everybody elses and I'm in the passenger seat doing all the pedaling

Even if I ask a question here and someone says something mean to me, my feelings get hurt.

I think its because my mom made me feel like everything I did was wrong when I was growing up.

I am 23 now and it still bothers me when people tell me I am too young to do things or if they just say something rude I take it to heart.

People say its immature of me to care about others, but like I said my mom made me doubt myself my whole life.

How do I learn to not care about what anyone else thinks?

I am considerating getting some illegal drugs to help with this crazy felling. I have read and studied anything and everything I can to help myself with this. I can't live like this . Anyone else feel this way? My family don't care, doctors dismiss you in a hurry. What does everyone else do? I forgot what quality in life is.

Its annoying. When I talk to somebody taller than me, its usually hard to block out of my head the thoughts that keep thinking about how he's taller than me and I can't ignore it. ANybody been through this? Its worse when I'm talkin to a taller woman. I feel like she don't respect me (cause of some thing that I read). How do I get over it?

Every apartment I live in I have terrible problems. I mean this is to the point of insanity. And before you say, "move to a house" you must realize that I cannot afford this option in this terribly expensive Florida market right now. I am super super sensitive to noise around me. It is ruining my life because I cannot sleep. Especially if I hear even one bang next door through the wall by my bed. I think about it all night listening for a loud bang. Anticipating the bang that would have woke me up out of my light paranoid sleep. I have a noise machine, a loud fan, earplugs, use tylenol PM, etc. Nothing works. Absolutely nothing. My body hurts so bad from years of poor rest or no rest. Could someone please tell me what disorder I have. Everyone i know tells me that this is a disorder but nobody knows how to label it. It is very real and terrifying to me. And this is one of the only things in life that bothers me. Otherwise i am quite laid back and carefree. What disorder do i have?

I'm normally an upbeat person, but for the last 3 weeks, I have been an emotional wreck. I cover it up well b/c no one can tell. But when I'm alone or in bed, I cry constantly! I have reasons to cry though such as: I really screwed up with my best friends and it's all weird between us now, my boyfriend is moving from Florida to Virginia in 11 days, I got a really good job offer where he is moving but I can't take it b/c i have no $ and no vehicle of my own, and my parents are upset with me b/c I want to move. I suppose it's all stress induced, but I just can't deal with my damn emotions anymore! I don't know what's going to happen after my bf moves...am I nuts??
