Will employers not want to hire me if I've went to a mental hospital in the past?
I'm a college student double majoring in English and French, hoping to go into editing for a publishing company.
I've went to counselling to try to work through my issues and I have made a lot of progress with them. If I've willingly checked myself into a mental hospital for depression and anxiety, will that affect my future in the workforce?

7 AnswersMental Health9 years ago85/43 Blood pressure, feeling lightheaded, dizzy, and weak. Help?
I'm a 17 year old girl. Last night I started feeling ill. I was getting lightheaded and had a hard time moving around. I figured it was probably due to lack of sleep (gotta love college life). But I slept in for a while and woke up feeling worse. My hands are shaky, I feel like my head is in a cloud, I get lightheaded every time I get up to do something.
I've never had problems with my blood pressure. In fact, every time I go to the doctor they've always told me how perfect it is. I looked up a blood pressure chart and it said mine right now (85/43) is a little low.
What could be the cause of this and how do I fix it?
I've been eating and drinking and getting plenty of exercise!
2 AnswersOther - General Health Care9 years agoHow do I tell my mother that I was mollested my freshman year of high school? It's been four years..?
I never told ANYONE before this year because it took me that long to admit that it even happened. I've come to terms with it, I think. I'm ready for it to not be a secret. How do I tell her?
2 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoDoes my OBGYN need to know that I'm a lesbian?
I came out of the closet last October after battling with myself for years. I engaged in hetero-sex and ran into some issues with my uterus. After coming out, I hadn't participated in having sex with another girl for quite some time. There was no need to tell my doctor on my last visit. However, now that I have had sex with a woman, should I tell her? I know she is going to ask if I have been sexually active and I don't want to lie but I've heard multiple stories about doctors treating their homosexual patients with less care and I'm afraid. Is there any medical reason that she needs to know?
5 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoIs it weird to wear a polo and a tie together?
I have a purple polo with 2 buttons and a purple tie. I've never worn either before and I don't know if they would look weird or if there is some unwritten code saying polos and ties should not be worn together.
4 AnswersFashion & Accessories9 years agoI've had painful cramps for 2 weeks but I haven't had a period in 3 mnths. Should I go to the doctor?
I'm NOT pregnant. There is absolutely no chance of me being pregnant.
I've always have bad cramps, usually for 3 weeks out of the month with the middle week being my period. I haven't had a period in 3 months (probably due to stress). I haven't been taking my birth control every day at the same time lately. Could thae possibly be the problem? How long should I wait this out before going to see my doctor?
3 AnswersWomen's Health9 years agoHow long should I wait before adding her on Facebook?
So.. I met this girl(:
We live in a small town, this is a MAJOR thing. There aren't really too many gay chicks here.
We met tonight at a bar and got to talking and we're hanging out next week.
When should I sent her a friend request? We didn't exchange numbers or anything.. Should have. Oh well, that can be for next time (:
3 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoIs it possible to be in love with someone and be with them if you aren't sexually attracted to them?
I'm a lesbian. Boys don't repulse me but I don't want a whole lot to do with them. There's this guy though and we've known each other for 4 years. I'd say we're definitely in love. I can imagine spending the rest of my life with him. I'm not really attracted to him in a sexual way but I think I just care about him so much as a person that it doesn't really matter anymore.. We've had sex before and it wasn't repulsing in any way.. not exactly my thing but I did enjoy just being with him..
Am I absolutely crazy or is this possible?
1 AnswerLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoI need a bathing suit for my senior trip to Florida. I'm looking for a one piece under $50. Suggestions?
I want something cute, not just the typical black that most people get.
It must be a one piece... I'm not confident enough to go out in front of the entire senior class in a bikini.
1 AnswerFashion & Accessories9 years agoIs it rude to ask someone which sex they prefer to be called?
I know a few people my age who dress/act like the opposite sex of which they anatomically are. I don't have any problems with them and I don't want to offend them by calling them the wrong thing. But at the same time, I don't want to offend them even more by asking. Would it be rude to ask?
4 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoShould I get a Dell or an HP laptop? (I'll be a college freshman studying pre-law)?
The laptop I have is old and far beyond repair. My local computer expert has told me to start looking around for a new laptop as mine crashes often and everything is lost. He said either an HP or a Dell would be a great laptop for the purposes for which I need it (research, writing papers, skype, facebook, blogs).
Which is better: Dell or HP (and why)?
Thanks in advance!
8 AnswersLaptops & Notebooks9 years agoIs it strange that I hate the word "lesbian" so I say I'm "gay" instead?
I don't really know why I hate it. I just NEVER call myself a lesbian, ever. It isn't a problem or anything for other people to refer to me as a lesbian. I just don't do it myself...
7 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoHow should I present my research paper about gay marriage?
I'm thinking about a powerpoint or maybe a prezi. Prezi isn't going well for me though, my creative juices just aren't flowing with it. I've found a couple of videos that I would like to use with it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, I can use all the help I can get =/
Btw- I'm for it.
My paper includes religion, the Defense of Marriage Act, the effects of same-sex parents on children, the separation of church and state, and the fact that other countries are progressing socially while the United States is not.
Thanks in Advance!

1 AnswerOther - Soccer9 years agoHow can I work on embracing my sexuality?
I'm 17 and clearly bisexual. It has been very obvious to me for about 6 years now. I've been in the closet until the past few months. Everyone in my family knows except my grandfather. Most of my family is okay with it, or they are willing to pretend being okay with it to make me happy. People at school know (I'm a senior).
I like girls.. I really do. But every time I start talking to one, I get really afraid of what everyone else is going to think and I back off. I never have this problem with boys.
How can i just get over this and embrace myself? I don't want to live my whole life being afraid...
4 AnswersLesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender9 years agoHow can I find the "right" religion for me?
My mother tried to raise me Catholic but gave up when I turned 3.
Then I decided I wanted to go to a Baptist church on and off between the ages of 11 and 16.
I'm 17 now and I'm feeling rather lost without a concrete set of beliefs.
I've been looking into the muslim and jewish religions but I'm so unsure about everything.
I'm thinking embracing a jewish religion might be best for me but I still have a lot of research to do...
How do I just know?
