    Additional Details

    It's a pathetic question, I know. But, seriously. I have two younger brothers who are horrible to me. They will call me fat, talk about tampons, call me ugly, and stupid to my face. It's terrible, and it's really hurting me. Honestly, it wouldn't be so bad if they didn't do it where they do it. I'll be walking to the bus, and they will put down the window and yell in front of EVERYONE, "Hurry up fatty!" Or, "Run, bitch, run!" It's embarrising. How can I stop it form hurting me so much? I have come home crying the past two days, and I'm stuck. I don't know what to do. Please help me :(

  • Do I have the right to insist on starting treatment regardless of what the doctor wants?

    STDs - 16 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I've got HIV and Hep C from idu, infected in 2006 diagnosed 2009. My CD4 count is 450 and T8 ratio is .33 unknown VL (they've continually screwed up the tests as results are time-limited and the nearest lab that can handle it is over an hour away) I want to start treatment on HAART immediately as from every study I've read & from talking to people I know who are similarly afflicted that guidelines are about to change at a CD4 count of 500 soon. I live in a rural, conservative area, and the specialist is no different, to her if the book says 350 then treatment should be withheld until it reaches that point,. Knowing how I feel physically and from symptoms that have begun to appear I think it's best to begin right away. Do I have the right to insist on treatment regardless of what she thinks?

  • To the girls who had eating disorders?

    Other - Diseases - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    Soooo I used to have an eating disorder and i cant seem to get past the whole gaining weight issue. Before i had an eating disorder I was naturally skinny but i still thought i was fat. But now that i've recovered from bulimia nervosa I've gained a lot of weight in my eyes. so now i'm no longer skinny, I'm thin. And to those who have had eating disorders i bet you remember being complimented on being "thin" or "healthy" and considered that as being called fat. Anyway, how can i become more comfortable in my skin, although i still want to lose weight?? For me accepting my body the way it is, is hard......GAAAHHH its kind of annoying because i can look at other girls who are bigger than me and see the beauty in them but not in me....
  • torn frenulum?????????????

    Men's Health - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    i tore my frenulum, and it's been a couple weeks and it still hurts, like the tear itself is only a milimeter or two deep, so the skin just looks like it has a little v cut out of it, and the v just looks raw compared to the rest of the skin. masturbating really hurts. will it re-attach itself or just stay that way?? what should i put on it to make it heal faster? thanks
  • why do i always run away from my problems and how do i fix this?

    Mental Health - 1 day ago

    Additional Details

    I've always avoided my problems. I mean as a child i was always pushed away when i wanted to express emotion...always told i was selfish, so over the years it seems that i don't really know what my emotions mean...I'm 19 and i am clueless about my emotions and there meanings. I struggled with a cocaine and ecstasy addiction for 4 years, and i drink regularly. So i know i've avoided emotions for a very long time. When i was younger i was severely emotionally abused and as a result i have no self confidence or self esteem. So all of a sudden i have all of these responsibilities like university, homework, placement, work, my dad is dying and were losing our house because we can't afford our mortgage...my mom is working 4 jobs seven days a week so i take care of my brother do the cleaning and cooking, while taking care of my grandma too..now through all this i still manage to drink almost everyday and maintain an above 90 average..which makes it harder to stop because its not effecting my life in such a bad way..except for the fact that i dont know my emotions...which is kind of embarrassing actually. But i can't make simple decisions for example...if someone asks where i want to go for dinner....i literally cannot say without feel shame and embarrassment ..don't ask why..i have no idea...how can i fix this without blowing up with anxiety i have generalized anxiety disorder and dont take meds, because of my past addictions. so what can i do..?
