GIVE ADVICE ON DIET & HEALTH

I hate people who snore.

If you snore don't even talk to me. You're terrible. You lay there dreaming of wonderful things while you make everyone else in the room put up with your interminable roaring nostrils.

I am in horrible pain right know... what should i do?

So its my time of the month and im in excrushiating pain. Anythng that i take midol, tylenol, pms pills, whatever.... NOTHING works. I ask my bf sometimes to get me vicodens for my pain. But since know he doesnt have any more im suffering like crazy. I wana go to my gyno and tell him about this but he'll just tell me ohh go take tylenol.(Thats what happen before) How can i prove to my doc that im not a druggie and i really need sumthin to kill my pain? When sumone really needs it they never give it you.

Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense..

of peace than you have now?

Smile!

I haven't slept for 2 nights running and i'm not tired anxious or stressed. Any legal sleep remedies you can recommend?

What do you know about "cutting"? Anyone had any first hand experience with it? Is this a new thing?

How do you "Kick someone in the a**", for their own good?

I just returned from the hospital in San Diego (65 miles away) where my ex-husband was taken early this morning with chest pains. I still carry his "Medical Advocacy" even though we have been divorced for more than 13 years, but have not seen him in quite some time. So a never thin 6'-2" man is laying there in a hospital bed at 389 pounds with diabetes, congestive heart failure, hypertension, impaired kidney function, and ulcerative colitis...

The doctors tell me "He is in real trouble if nothing changes, and he is telling us that you are the only one he listens to..."

So script my "kick him in the ass" statement, or ???

(And we have been friends since I was 15, so don't tell me to just shut down on him, because that isn't going to happen...)

You know I have some amazing friends here... Unfortunately I can only communicate in the "mass" this way. I have updated the site as to his decision. Thanks for reminding me how to motivate. It worked. Two had very valid points, and knows me very well. He is also a very caring spirit, in spite of how he sometimes "reads" on the site. Trust me, he has a heart of solid gold. And I am golfing everyday, massaging twice a week and laughing my ass off most days. Life is good, despite what had become a very full plate of challenges... The tunnel is very light, bright and short in front of me... susan

Update: September 08, 2010.
The ex-husband has decided to enter into the Rice Diet Program at Duke University in Raleigh, NC. The Psychologist and the Nutritionist (with prodding from the ex-wife) discussed the probabilty of death in the near term and the very strong results that this program has on the health issues he faces. I then mentioned that while the program costs $20k, at the rate he is going I will enjoy spending at least that much of his money on something really stupid just to spite him very soon anyway. He found that less than funny and made his reservations. Time will tell. Thanks for the help. It was nice knowing that what I could do might be enough. susan

How can a person live with a judgeing voice inside their head?

Is it possible for a person to forget? I haven't done anything real bad. I haven't slept around or smoked crack. I think it might be the Gemini inside me, but I really feel as if have two personalities trying to get out. I have a modern thinking young woman, who wants to see the world and support herself. But then I have this prude inside me that judges everything I've ever done. Like the boys I've dated or decisions I've made. That's the same voice who urges me to find a boyfriend so that I can settle down and get married. BUT I really don't want a relationship now. That voice inside my head, keeps replaying my worst memories how can I forget those bad memories that still haunt me? I want to move on. I haven't done anything wrong, but I feel because I made out with three guys that I didn't end up dating seriously, I'm not a good person. Like I cringe every time my parents say that they're proud of me. I'm not a loose girl, but I keep telling myself I am.

Why is it so hard for me to be normal and just let things go? Why can't I just get over it?

Should I get a second opinion?

I went to a new dentist today after 1.5 years without a visit to the office. Well it was a pretty advanced office with new technology and X-Ray machines that were not present at my other dentists office. Anyway I was told that I have 7 cavities in my molars. Yes SEVEN. Up until this point I have only had 1 cavity which was filled when I was in highschool. I do not consume a lot of sugar so I have no idea how this could just happen.

She said they were small and not deep at all. She has a certain machine that is able to detect decay well before it reaches the terrible stages. She said that my cavities may have been growing over the years but were too small to be detected. She showed me on camera where the supposed cavities were but I've also heard that sometimes this could be tooth discoloration. I am at a loss with what to do as I was shocked at the number of cavities. Please help...

Is there anywhere to anonymously talk to people about dealing with codependency?

All of the advice I have been being able to find assumes that the codependency and perfectionism began from being in an unhealthy family environment when growing up, because that isn't where mine came from, I feel I can't fully benefit from the advice, but I really need help and really need to start getting better.

As for where it did come from, a few years ago I ended up in a situation where someone I shared an apartment with was emotionally abusing me. To make matters worse, this began not long after my grandmother died, and continued over most of a year, during which two more grandparents died. I was emotionally vulnerable because of their deaths and then was being convinced that if I didn't solve all of his problems then I was unworthy of being alive.

My boyfriend realized how badly the situation got, basically kicked him out of the apartment, covered his portion of the rent, and made sure that I was in healthy living situations then. However, the pattern had set in and now that I've realized that my self esteem has turned into being convinced that I must be perfect and in order to be perfect I must solve everyone else's problems, I need to start to learn to take care of myself again.

I used to be mentally healthy, now I am not, I can feel the difference. The fact that I can remember not having these problems but not what it felt like or how I was makes me feel unusual.

However, I am not comfortable talking about this yet in a non anonymous setting, it is something that my boyfriend knows, and my few closest friends know, but I can't share yet, its too personal.

Do you have any advice, or suggestions on where to look or any way to get the ability to talk to people who know what they're talking about and try to heal.

(I am doing counseling but I need more than just that)
