I just need a neutral opinion on this. Im not fishing for compliments or anything of that nature. Ive been getting comments off freinds over the past month or so about my weight and now my family have joined in. I understand that its out of concern and that no-one means any harm by it but im getting so confused that I just want to cry. I am a 26 year old female, im 5 foot 6 and weight between 94 and 96 pounds. I find it confusing because (and its hard to admit this) but when they tell me that they are worried because I am getting thin, i try to see it, i try to understand but I dont. I dont see what they tell me they see when i look at myself in the mirror. I dont feel sick or ill in anyway and thats what makes me feel like they are overreacting but at the same time I am actively seeking to lose some weight as i feel that it will make me feel better, however crazy that sounds. I would just appreciate an outside opinion in the hope that I can get a grasp of what it is happening to me.

You can make a collage of outfits and put things together and its amazing but i completely forgot what its called. Can anyone help?

I wonder if anyone can help me. I took the emergency contraception 6 hours after an accident with a split condom. I felt ok afterwards but was a little sick about 15 hours after taking the pill and then was violently sick a further 12 hours later. Im not sure if i have picked up a virus or something but im worried that the pill wont work. Is 15 hours enough for the pill to work? Am i still safe? or in danger?

Please help.

Many thanks x

My mum has recently started going through the menopause. She has decided to not take HRT but is suffering terribly with hot flashes. She's a chef and works 14 hour shifts and these flashes are stopping her from sleeping and she's getting very exhausted and down from it. She's tried black Cohosh(not sure how to spell it) tablets but they havent worked. Does anyone have any advice?

Hi,

I wasn't sure i had an eating disorder but after seeing my doctor, i have been diagnosed with both chronic bulimia and anorexia. I swing between the two. Im waiting for specialist treatment but have noticed today that i am losing my sense of balance. If i tilt my head one way it sends my really dizzy and im getting tingling pains in my arms like they're lifting away and weightless. Its really strange. Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Could it be due to purging yesterday? I didnt really eat much yesterday but purged 17 times. I know its bad but im ill and i cant help it right now.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks x

Hi,

Is there anyone in the uk who would be interested in keeping in contact and being fasting buddies?

Ok, So Ive had chronic insomnia for years. My doctor has prescribed me with every sleep med that she is allowed to prescribe by law. They either made me hyper, suicidal, or do crazy dangerous things in my sleep (like attempting to drive my car!!). I've been referred to a sleep clinic but in the meantime she has prescribed me ambien/zolpidem until my referral comes through as i have exams coming up and i cannot sit an exam at university when ive gone almost a week without sleep.

Ive had ambien before and it didnt work but when i tried it my bmi was about 22. My bmi is now just over 15 (yeah i know its bad but thats another issue im dealing with) and doc said its worth another try and may work cos of my lower body mass.

I just wondered if anyone has any experience of these meds. I sooooo want to sleep but im scared they will make me hyper or suicidal or hungry (i know that sounds crazy but i cant help it)

Any advice or opinions would be much appreciated

I'll be in New York in min september and am a total shopping/fashion addict. Can anyone offer advice as to places and shops that I should visit etc.

Many thanks

Ok,

So id just like a few opinions about my weight and measurements etc. I don't believe that Im hugely overweight but nor do i think im too skinny but am struggling to get clothes to fit me and am confused as to whether its the clothing brands or whether im just not seeing things how i should.

Im 26, 5 foot 6 and 98 pounds. Im 29-21-32. I live in uk and cannot get clothes to fit me apart from in the kids section and being 5 foot 6, trousers etc are a no go from a childs range.

can i just make it clear that i dont think im fat per say but i dont think im too thin either. Is it me or the clothes?

I'm 26 years old and am being accused of being anorexic. It's causing a lot of tension within my family. I'm 5 foot 6 and around 98 pounds. I don't understand why people are attacking me for being skinny. I know i'm not overweight but neither am i skinny. I would really appreciate some input with this if anyone can offer any kind of opinions and/or advice.
