  • Why won't my body let me get enough sleep?

    I often can never fall asleep quickly at night. Usually it takes me minimum 20 minutes. And then in the middle of the night I wake up multiple times and it takes me a while to fall back asleep. No matter how late I went to bed my body also won't let me sleep in past 6-7am. I've tried everything, my room is dark, I'm my on my phone, I exercise, everything. I'm always EXHAUSTED but I can't sleep properly. What do I do?

    So on my elbow, I have this small pimple. Innocent looking enough. But right under it there's a quarter sized bump and it's kind of hard. It hurts SO BADLY. when I straighten my arm, when I bend it, or if cloth is covering my arm. I can't even sleep on it. What is it and should I go to the doctor?

  • I can never breathe properly should I be worried?

    I'm only 14. I can hardly take any deep breaths and I have to try over and over and yawn on purpose until I can take one deep breath. Also, it feels kind of tight sometimes. This has been happening for a while, not a sudden thing. Today when I was running for PE it was even harder and my lungs were on fire, it still hurts. I'm not unfit so I would be tired but not to this point! What should I do

  • Difficulty taking deep satisfied breaths, even when relaxed and calm?

    I have to try over and over to get one deep breath it's really frustrating especially when I have to yawn. It's even more difficult in the morning and when I sit up straight. I'm only 14, what could this be? :( I don't think it's anxiety because it's mostly when I'm relaxed and has been happening for a long time.

  • Sleep paralysis, or just a really bad nightmare?

    I felt really weighed down and relaxed, ready to sleep. before I knew it , it felt like I was putting my phone back into the drawer by my bed(where I always keep it at night) except I couldn't feel my fingers or arms or anything, I had to struggle. When I tried to lay back down I couldn't tell if I hit the bed or not. Suddenly I started thinking about skeletons and was terrified that one might sneak up on me and cut off my leg(weird, I know) and it felt like I was looking to my window and saw a skeleton, but it was gone quickly and then I thought I heard a man on the radio whose voice got cut off because he was screaming because he was attacked, I felt like I was awake, but it felt really hazy and sluggish and very scary. After the man's voice stopped, I suddenly felt like I woke up and realized there was no radio or man talking. What was it?

  • Seeing double/fuzzy in one eye? Help please?

    So i wear contacts. And I think my right contact must have been scratched, because it hurt so, so bad(I tried flipping it, rinsing it but those things didn't work.) anyway, I had that contact on for over an hour. Now I have my glasses on and I see double in my right eye. Even when I bring something close to my face I see double in that eye. I also now have a headache. Did I damage my eye and will it heal by itself? :(

  • I keep having dreams of being left behind or not being able to find someone, why does this keep happening?

    I've had a lot of dreams where I'm looking for someone(usually in a crowd of people)and I can't find them, or I've been left behind because I took to long or something of the sort. When I wake up I feel anxious and depressed and when I think about it actually happening it scares me. What could be causing this(Like fears or outside factors)??

  • Did my cat develop separation anxiety?

    We were gone on a 3 week trip out of the country and my cat was left at home with my dad. My dad is gone for most of the day and he is scared of her, so he doesn't pet her or pick her up. Now that we're back, she won't leave me alone. She follows us around incessantly meowing until we pet her and pick her up or sit with her, and my dad said she wasn't eating dry food while we were gone, just wet food.

  • What to on a 15 hour flight? Help please!?

    I'm flying to India from the US. I'm going to bring a journal, drawing book, and my IPod.

    That usually just lasts me like an hour or so. I'm definitely going to sleep as well.

    My biggest problem is I get really antsy and when I sit for too long I feel really gross. What can I do to stop myself from feeling like that and what other activities can I bring? We're flying in economy.

  • Are online depression mostly accurate?

    I've been screening myself time to time over the past year because I might have depression(haven't told anyone or gotten help though.) and it went up from 40 to 52.

    How accurate are these tests? Am I likely to be wrong about my suspicion of having depression?

  • Did i sprain my ankle? Help please?

    In P.E. 4 days ago I was chasing someone and my left ankle bent sideways(Like the bottom of my foot facing the other leg) and after that I had ankle pain, some knee pain and lower back pain. My back pain is pretty much gone but my knee pain resurfaces. My ankle, however, I can't move it around too much without it hurting. It hurts a lot to walk and hurts even when it's at rest. But, it's not red or discolored and I don't think it's swollen that much. Did I sprain my ankle?

  • How do I tell my parents I think I'm depressed(I'm 14)?

    I am embarrassed. I can't ignore it anymore. Last year I almost developed an eating disorder, but that's long gone. Since the end of 2012 my life has gone downhill. Now I am constantly tired, I can't focus, nothing is interesting and it's hard to feel anything else.

    Funny thing, there's nothing really for me to be depressed about. There used to be. Not anymore. I just hate myself. I don't feel like I'm a good friend. My sleep pattern is in the garbage. I'm always drifting in an out of sleep at night. I really need to tell them. What can I do?

  • How can I convince my mom I am trying in school?

    I'll be honest, although I have pretty good grades(all As and one B+ in Algebra) I procrastinate. A lot. I'm really tired and depressed all day throughout school and at home. When I try and start my homework around 5 or 6 I get yelled at because I didn't start early enough. Studying is a tremendous effort for me because I never have enough energy.

  • Do I eat enough and should I gain weight?

    I'm a 14 year old girl and I'm 5'7 and 124 pounds. Usually I eat around 1500-2000 calories sometimes more or less. I've heard that I'm too thin already from plenty people but I don't think that's true. I have muscular legs and a partially muscly stomach, but I'm still not that heavy! Do I need to gain weight?
