    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 :(

    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?

Beat the Winter Blues

If early sunsets are getting you down, try one of these 5 tips for an instant pick-me-up

Provided by Wish

1. New School
Sign up for a new class at the gym. Try spinning, pilates, Tai Chi or a step class.

2. Bring It All In
Don’t forget that activities you do outside in summer can be done inside during the winter. Tennis clubs and soccer fields are some of the facilities that get domes for the colder months. Call your local club or community centre.

3. A Little R
Book regular appointments at your favourite spa. A massage, body wrap or facial can all help give you a mood boost. Even knowing your toes are pedicure-perfect while crammed into galoshes can make you feel better.

4. It's Nice Outside
Don’t be afraid of the snow. Take up a winter sport or go for a long walk and breathe the crisp, winter air.

5. Don’t be SAD
Sometimes, the winter blues can actually be a more serious problem, such as depression or Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which strikes when there is less sunlight during the fall and winter. Symptoms of both include:

  • loss of interest in things you once enjoyed
  • withdrawal from social activities
  • feeling empty most of the time
  • concentration difficulties and memory loss
  • self-criticism or self-deprecation
  • sleep disorders like insomnia or waking up several times in the night
  • an increase or decrease in appetite or weight
  • feeling anxious and irritable

See your doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Physical activity can also have a positive impact on the symptoms of SAD.
