  • Are household chemicals, soaps washing up liquids just as harmful as plastic?

    We hear itba lot in the news about plastics and the damage it is doing to our oceans and the life that exists in our oceans, but in some countries, mainly third world countries and possibly developed nations out of towns and cities soap water, washing up liquid bleach, toilet roll papers etc. go into rivers, streams and into the ocean.

    How much effect does this cause to creatures living in the river sea and oceans?

    Can even one house where these toxic chenicals are used cause much damage to the fish in the river using these chemicals?

  • Why do I get these feelings when I think of or see someone licking a silver spoon?

    It's like a tingling feeling that moves across my body, my tongue feels weird and my eyes hurt.

    I hate it when people do it or just think of it.

    Is this to do with asperger's? Or something else?

  • Why does my eyes look half closed when I close them?

    I recorded myself on my tab closing my eyes and notice when I close my eyes it looks like it's not closed properly.  Like its just the top eyelid that closes and it's all white underneath and when I open the eyes the eyeball go down like they go up when I close them. 

    Is this natural? Is there a reason for this? 

    Is that white my eyeball or skin that hasn't been tanned? Or is it because of the camera?

  • Is wanting to travel / backpacking at 30 an unrealistic goal?

    I never had the chance to go backpacking, I'll be 30 soon, been battling with anxiety and depression, lack of life experience, confidence.

    I'm a bit ok now, but bored with my current family run job and the same cycle every year.

    I like to travel, I can afford it, learn new things, do volunteer or work exchange helping others and maybe work if possible for a few months to a year or two.

    But I'm wondering if this is unrealistic to make travel like this (which I wanted to do since I was 17 long before inspiring travel vlogs) one of my goals in life?

    Or will I miss out on a lot of things, waste a lot of time and money and end up regretting it now I am older?

  • Should I see a doctor or am I wasting their time?

    I been having issues with my nose this past 4 months, pressure feeling behind nose, top ferls heavy with full itchy ear. It all comes and goes.

    Had some steroid sprays twice and they didn't work.

    Had pain in my lower ieft side, groin abdomen bladder area.

    Had blood and urine test, all normal.

    Had bad anxiety fatigue and depression for 2 months now some days are better though, been getting CBT for it before..

    Would this be considered urgent or non urgent appointment if I was to call them tomorrow?

    Or is it likely anxiety causing all this?

  • How do I end health anxiety once and for all?

    I have been having something wrong all the time, I'm managing to deal with most of my mystery symptoms,less doctor visits, less hassling them but some symptoms persist.

    No matter how hard I try to ignore it, I keep myself distracted a part of my mind searches for something.

    2 of them are this pressure inside my nose and ears above palet, that's mild, and comes in waves. Crackling and itchy ears and like someone's putting their finger in my ears. The more I ignore it the more deeper it gets.

    I even have a new symptom. I find it hard to think sometimes.

    Had nasal sprays twice for sinus inflamation and realease fluid from my ears. Nothing work

    Second problem I still have soreness in my lower left side, gets better when I poo. Sore during morning and nights.

    Had blood tests, urine test all normal.

    I have this obsession of looking at my stools, I poop in an old news paper and look for signs of worms or blood. Most of it is just some mucus, dry stools.

    Today I notice some red mucus in my stool. Only one.

    I tried to ignore it, but no matter what I do, like something in my mind wants to focus on my lower left side pain.

    There probably wont be nothing there tomorrow.

    Everything is all mild. But I am always having constant waves of fatigued tiredness nasea followed by waves of anxiety and depression.

    I did have cbt for GAD and mild depression.

    What can I do to stop obsessing with my annoying uncomfortable feelings?

    I feel fed up of feeling like this, I feel fed up of life.

  • Is this a sign something is seriously wrong?

    Sometimes I feel like I can't think properly, for example, I read. When I read head aches I feel like I cant pronounce words in my head. Like slurred speech only its in the head.

    It creates a mild pressure in my ears and back of nose and palet.

    It doesn't just happen when I have anxiety or depression.

    I been using nasal spray for sinus issues which I been getting for 6 months to releive sinus inflamation and drain fluid from my ears and releive the pressure. It doesn't work, my ears does click, amd still the same, I can breathe ok, although it feels like something behind my nose and I just cant think properly sometimes.

    Is this brain fog?

    All these feelings are just mild.

    I been thinking I have some tumor in my brain or something because my arms and leg feels tired and I'm always fatigued, but doc. says my arms are fine during physical examination. Blood tests were normal.

    I been like this for 2 years now!

    I'm unsure if this is all anxiety and it's hard to ignore it.

  • Would it do any harm trying nasal irrigation?

    I have an uncomfortable feeling in the back of my nose above palet, and pressure in my ears and constant sinus pressure and ear pressure, the ear pressure gives me tension like headache, had this for over 2 months now, had same thing last year around spring summer where it gets worse.

    My head is buzzing, sometimes I get out of the blue lightheadedness where the volume goes down and ringing and feeling like I'm going to faint. Only lasts a few seconds.

    I find it hard to think, when I think my head aches, or my pallet.

    I had nasal sprays twice from the doctor and was told there's a lot of fluid in my ears. It didn't work.

    It's worse when i lie down at night, my nose blocks up.

    Would it do any harm?

  • What would you do if you witness a child being bullied by a group of bullies?

    So I had a warning from the police today for threatening behaviour towards a girl who was bullying and humiliating some boy in front of her friends on a bus.

    I never said anything threatening nor threatened them, just asked them how they feel being a bunch of cowards, I may have embarassed the bully in front of her mates, but she was horrible and threatening towards this boy sat on his own...

    The boy was obviously distressed and I felt sorry for him. I don't know who the boy was.

    What would you do?

  • How do people still know I'm on Facebook?

    Even when appearing offline/switching chat ofg, I'll get message with hi, when I don't want to chat..,

    I sometimes use facebook to create pages, my neighbour's son was telljng his dad I'm always on the computer or FB, despite me saying I hardly use FB.

    And this creepy girl who has some weird obsession with me and kept wanting to chat with me message me to say she was unfriending me because I kept ignoring her, like she knew I was online.

    I don't have to click on the FB app just switch the phone on.

    How do people know?
