Lauren

I am in love with my boyfriend of almost 5 months. thing is, he's away on work at the army all the time. i haven't seen him in a month and have only talked to him three times.

recently, like a week, i met a new guy. we both suffer from insomnia so we skyped every night all night. he's the type of guy who's the life of the party. you'd always want to be around him. he's hilarious, attractive, understanding, and smart with good morals. he's also my neighbor so i see a lot of him.

i miss my boyfriend, i love him dearly. he's perfect for me and treats me right. this is killing me.

i've been told to stop all contact with this new guy, James. but i want to still be friends without such intense feelings. i feel that this is infatuation. i feel obsessed with talking to him every night and going for late night walks with him when i can't sleep because it's constant. i often fantasize about him a loooot to make me crave him even more.

WHAT DO I DO??

I haven't seen my boyfriend in almost a month since he went into the army. We've talked once in that time.

We have only been dating four months and I am deeply in love with him, but the distance makes it hard for me. I feel like my feelings are drifting for someone else. I am in love with my boyfriend but i have this crush on this new guy..

you see, i'm the type of girl who relies on other people to make me feel happy. i suffer from insomnia and anxiety disorder which has increased since my boyfriend has left, he was the one to distract me from all that.

i met this guy through a friend, we met twice in person and i did not have any attraction to him. so i felt okay this is good. and then we starting skyping, and his personality got me. he also has insomnia, so we stay up all night skyping. we have clearly stated we want nothing more than to be friends with each other, and that's good. we don't talk about sex or getting together like that or anything and i plan not to. but my feelings are there. not sure if i can say the same about him though, but we do talk constantly. he's there for me whenever i need someone just to chat with.

i am worrying that i am drifting from my boyfriend and i hate it. i can't see him for a while. i am also the type of girl with an extremely high libido. masturbation isn't what i do. and it kills me. this guy is also my neighbor. i often imagine what it would be like getting together with him like that, that's not cheating, right? a girl can have her fantasies.

please give me some advice on this. i still want to stay with my boyfriend and stay faithful and stick to my morals and i still want to be friends with this guy...

I have been experiencing a burning sensation for a few hours on most parts of my body; upper back, shoulders, back of legs, ears and neck.

It occurs when I itch and stays for a few minutes.

I have a bruise-like mark on my shoulder which I have just recently discovered.

I do get eczema on my inner elbows, back of hands, forearms, front of neck and eyelids - however these areas are not burning.

I am quite worried about this and would really like to know if this could be a horrible infection.

I had a blood test a few weeks ago and everything came back fine. My mother is a nurse and told me that if I had a virus etc it would show up. I am beginning to question that.

Please help me.

So yesterday I pretty much installed most EPs at once; I currently have the base game, Generations, Pets, Supernatural, Seasons, University Life and Island Paradise.

Today, after playing all (but University Life) fine, I decided to install University Life.

The installation went fast and I had no problems. Until I clicked on the game launcher, clicked the play button, and while it was loading in that black screen, it closes and says "The Sims 3 has stopped working". I am getting very frustrated at this. I just want to play!!

I've googled various solutions to this; that DEP thing, done that, still doesn't work. My game and Origin are up to date.

I don't know what else to do. I really need help.

Other info:

I have Windows 8

The Sims 3 has never crashed on my laptop

I am 16, he is 18 and leaving me for four months for work 5 hours away from me. He hardly gets to use his cell phone and has no internet access.

I am truly, deeply in love with this man. He is perfect and i can't see myself without him or dating another. He leaves me on Monday morning, early. I have three more days with him.

When he leaves, I'm gonna be practically alone apart from school and family. He makes me happy. I know that I will stay faithful to him, I know I will. I just don't know how I am gonna cope. I want to know how I can. That is what i am asking: how can I cope and deal with this?

so me and my boyfriend are clean down there, we had checks (last week) and ever since we have been using condoms. Today, the condom broke and we didn't know so he ejaculated in me. i am on birth control so pregnancy is not a worry. but since then i have had quite an itchy vagina and painful urethra. it also feels a bit burny. what could this be?

This has been going on for quite a while, possibly around a month. What could it be? Anxiety?

Disclaimer: I apologize for the novel. I have a lot going on. Please help.

A few months ago, I suffered from panic attacks often whilst on a withdrawal from "legal" or "herbal" highs which are cannabis with added chemicals.

From then on, things have gone down hill. I had chronic head aches caused by neck pain (which i didn't feel until i went to a physiotherapist and she said my muscles were really tightened). I had an ongoing fear I had a brain tumor. Which I do not and I found this out recently.

I stopped going to Physio, and my neck acted up again causing light headedness, foggy head, black spots in my vision, eye tricks, disorientation etc.

I thought again I must have something seriously wrong. I begged mum for weeks can I please go see my doctor; she being a nurse believed I was fine and we didn't go. I constantly worried and begged her, thinking if we didn't I would die from something. I had blood tests earlier that year (full blood count) and I am perfectly healthy. I still didn't believe it. I wanted reassurance and wanted another test. I would call healthlines three times a day asking for advice and they always told me to go see a doctor. I didn't because mum said no I am fine.

I had a bit of a cold last week, still when I was going through stress. My throat was blocked up and it was hard to breathe, my nose ran and my ears got very blocked (I had ringing, had this sorted today). I thought okay this is fine, just an average cold - which it was.

Then, after unprotected sex with my boyfriend (birth controlled), I felt pains and nausea. Thinking my birth control failed. We worried for days and got a test, came out negative. Still weren't convinced. I had TERRIBLE (and i mean, terrible) cramps and abdominal pains for two weeks and ongoing. Also some bleeding which increased this week to the point when I need tampons. (I don't get my period or bleed on my birth control). It's starting to become brown, gunky and potent smelling. And very sore breasts, though this was from my push-up bra so I stopped wearing it but it is still sore. I went to my doctor a few days ago, took a urine test for pregnancy, came out negative again. However, there was a trace of white blood cells, indicating infection. I get my results tomorrow. These past few days, I have been in SERIOUS pain and worry. My worry has become increasingly stressful (I have possible anxiety disorder). I googled STIs, and begun self-diagnosing. The worst thing to do. I now somehow believe I have HIV :( I have chronic tingly hands and feet (this has been ongoing for three weeks, increasing). I found out this is also a symptom of HIV and anxiety and diabetes (do not have diabetes, had test). Also, feeling fatigued, I always feel this. And recently (and I mean these past few days since I discovered I may be infected) I have been feeling achy, joint pain etc. All in random places in my body! Not chronically in one area. WHAT IS THIS? I am so worried about HIV it's killing me waiting to hear the results. My boyfriend seems fine, and my previous partners do also. If they had HIV, they would have symptoms, right? One of them had a test after we broke up for STIs and he is clean. I constantly ask my boyfriend how he is feeling to see if he has any symptoms.

Lastly, is this anxiety or a serious medical condition?

This symptom is beginning to worry me to the point of insomnia.

I constantly have tingling feet. And just recently, because of thinking about it, I've gotten tingling in my hands too.

I have an anxiety disorder. May this be a symptom? If so that's good, because i would rather that than a medical issue.

I'm not too sure and I really need some help :( thanks

Me and my partner have unprotected sex often. The last time was a week ago.

For about two weeks I have been experiencing horrible abdominal cramps. And about a week and a half ago I had slight bleeding which has progressed immensely since then and is now very heavy and brown in colour with a potent odor which is not similar to a period. It is quite thick.

I still have very bad cramps in my abdomen, and painful bowel movements.

It does not hurt when I pee and when I have sex - they both feel perfectly normal.

I am beginning to worry I have a nasty infection. At first I thought it was maybe an ectopic pregnancy as I am on birth control and that can be a complication with it. I have not had a period in six months due to my jadelle implant for birth control which is normal. I have also never had any spotting or complications while on this birth control.

My partner has not experienced any difficulties with his penis. He said urinating feels fine and everything seems normal. If I have an infection he will have it too. But I do know that most STIs are asymptomatic.

I would really like some information on what this could be, any advice would be great.

Thanks.

Today I took a urine test at the doctors to test for pregnancy, but it came up with a trace of white blood cells, indicating infection rather than pregnancy. The last time I had sex was less than a week ago. I have had horrible cramps and bleeding since then and just recently (like 5 mins ago) I found a greenish discharge in my underwear with a bit of an odd smell. I am sure I have an infection now. I will get a call about what I have in a few days. I just want to know how fast it can be treated, how, and if I can still keep my fertility. Thanks.

I believe that I am genuinely in love with my boyfriend. He is 18 and I am 16. Despite my age, he is my first love. I have never clicked with a boy like I have with him. I can totally be my crazy self around him, be around him without make-up, wear my laziest clothes and just relax and eat food with him all day when it's rainy without a care in the world. With my previous boyfriends, I always felt insecure and shy - so I believe that I never loved them at all and our relationships ended quickly. But it's the opposite with my current boyfriend although we have been together for only about four weeks. I get along with his family so well - I adore his little sister and always spend time with her watching movies and talking about whatever. And his mum and I get on quite well. My mum likes him too.

The thing is, he is leaving for work for five months up north and I'll be at home studying for school without him. I believe that if I really do love him, I will happily wait for him and stay faithful which I believe I can do. It'll be a challenge but if it's meant to be it'll be easy.

But I want to know how to tell him that I am in love with him without scaring him off or making him worry etc or whatever guys feel when girls tell them this. How can I tell that he feels the same way? When is a good time to tell him this? He leaves in less than a month and I just want help.

Thanks!

I had sex with my boyfriend yesterday unprotected since I am on the jadelle implant for contraception and we are both clean down there. He ejaculated as always. And last night I woke up with the worst cramps in my baby region and I felt it more on the left side and thought it was the left ovary. Today I have been quite sore and had cramps also and they're worse when I cough (i have a cold). I recently just found a little bit of discharge and blood in my underwear. I am wondering if I could be pregnant. I took a pregnancy test two days ago because we were afraid I was pregnant then but it was negative so we continued to have unprotected sex thinking the implant would work but now I am so worried!

Please help me.

we haven't been together long, but I know that I am ready for a baby and want to know how to tell him that. He would make an excellent father and is the best guy I could ever want.

Please give realistic answers :)

I don't have any antibiotics, cough syrup etc apart from over-the-counter pain killers.

My throat feels inflamed in the chest region and it is hard to breathe and sleep etc.

Before you judge, I know this sounds daft. But please hear me out. I have actually thought about this for a long time. This is not an immature decision or a stunt to get on television or get attention.

I've always felt like people I love (including family) leave me. I am getting to the point where I cannot take this anymore. I have this love for children. I just love babies to death. They make me so happy. I look at all these mothers with their children and see them being irresistibly in love with them. I want that. I want something to depend on me and my love. I want someone to love me unconditionally whilst I have someone else to focus on and give me further motivation into completing my studies as I only want a good paying job so I can raise my own family. I also believe that this child will give me a further insight into life and its responsibilities and it will help me to become a better person.

My current boyfriend and I have a bit of a worry that I have gotten pregnant on my contraceptive rod. If so, great. If not, great, also. I believe that he is the one I would like to be the father of my baby anyway since he is the most kind hearted man I know, and I love him.

I know that getting pregnant and having a child at 16 is highly frowned upon because the "young mums" cannot financially support the child. My boyfriend is in the military and gets paid very well. I am also a writer and plan to write a best selling novel in order to look after the child. I also want to finish schooling and go to university where I know I can still have my child.

Thoughts on this? Opinions? Reality of this? Please answer with whatever. Please no rude comments on my immaturity as I know I am extremely mature for my age within my way of thinking.

Thank you :)

I am 16 and extremely sexually active and have been for more than a year. i currently have an 18 year old boyfriend, and I am on the contraceptive jadelle rod. I have heard that this is approximately 98.2% effective which means there is still the slight chance of pregnancy whilst on this contraceptive. Me and my boyfriend have sex often and it's always unprotected as we are both clean in the genital area and i am on contraceptives. He ejaculates in me every time.

So recently, the other day (Wednesday 5th June) I snuck out of school to see him as he is leaving for four months for a job and i want to spend as much time with him as possible. We had sex without a condom as I mentioned we never use one and he ejaculated. The next day I woke up with slight back pain and thought i just slept on it weird. Then i felt a stomach pain which increased severely as I got to school on Thursday. I went to the nurse and waited it out and it finally went away (it was stomach pains and menstrual cramps). I then felt like i need to vomit but nothing came up. I was constipated that entire day and have been a little since then. My breasts are feeling sore and my right one has increased in size as of today. I have headaches (i have these often due to neck pain) and feel nauseous occasionally. I have a foggy head and feel fatigued often. Am I pregnant?? I will mention again I am on the JADELLE implant which is 98% effective. Please answer this and help me. My boyfriend and i will buy a pregnancy test tomorrow but I want opinions first.

NOTHING GURLY.

hardcore and a bit gory.

something creative and catchy.

my name is Lauren, so i want something that goes well with my name.

It doesnt have to be the same letter as my name

Thaaaaannxxxxx (:
