This is happening to me very often. I will be telling someone a story or a joke, or just asking a question and then my mind goes completely blank. I know everyone gets this every now and then but I've been getting it an awful lot lately. Also when the person is waiting for me to continue I kind of start to panic cause I'm being pressurised to remember. Another thing which I'm not sure is related or not, if I'm answering someone and it's a topic I'm interested in I tend to trip over my words and get them all mixed up. This happens a lot if I'm making a witty remark too. I've never had a stutter, I've had no history of anything like this. I've always been very literate, I read all the time and when I was younger entered a lot of writing competitions. Could anyone tell me what this is? Thanks!

So today was the first day of shark week, I was in class and prior to class I just had the normal menstrual cramps, which are very painful, but I'm used to them. Then what happened was all of a sudden I started to feel really nauseous and disorientated, I couldn't speak and my hands went really weak, I couldn't control them and everything seemed in slow motion. Then everything got REALLY loud only to blur out completely, I couldn't hear at all. All the while I was sweating profusely and when it passed my hair was actually wet. SO, can anyone tell me what this was? By the way I'm transgender (ftm), so periods are a really scary time for me, that's why I thought it could be a panic attack.

A small fly flew into my eye, it is still there and I can't get it out. It's like under my eye. I'm trying to cry as much as possible to force it out but it seems lodged. Please help ASAP. ps there is no one here to help me so I need to get it out myself

Hi, I noticed that my dog's eyes were both half closed and she looks extremely dopey and lost. I also lifted her head to see if it was heavy and it was as she put it's full weight on my hand, as well as that she was covered in drool. I thought she wasn't able to stand up or anything but when I left the room she got up and started to bark but still didn't open her eyes. I looked at both eyes and one seems to be considerably worse as it is bloodshot. All she wants to do is sleep. I'm sixteen years old and my parents are out and won't be back for another hour. I just want to know what I can do for her while I'm waiting. If anyone knows what this could be too, please let me know! Thank you in advance, I'm very worried!

Wasn't exactly sure how to word this question. But my computer hard drive space is full, so for the meantime I'm planning to move 8GB of my music to a USB stick and delete that 8GB from my computer. What I'm asking is will my iTunes delete that music too? Or will it be okay to just plug in the USB every time I sync? Don't want to lose any files here! I already have the 8GB on the USB, just cautious about removing them from my computer. Thanks in advance for any help!

Can anybody tell me what guitar Frank Turner plays? Not the new Farida one, the electro-acoustic he's been playing forever. It's got leaves on the fingerboard and it's an overall beautiful guitar. I'd like to know what it is. Thanks.

I am a complete introvert. My hobbies are reading and listening to or playing music. I like to be with friends, but I only really enjoy one on one situations. When I'm with a group of three or more people, I just don't enjoy it at all. I can't push myself to interact, and the people think that there is something bothering me, but in truth, I am happier not to be speaking and just to observe. But when the people see me like this I then start to feel paranoid because I don't want to seem unhappy, so then I don't know how to act. I tend to dread parties, or even sleepovers, it takes a lot for me to pull myself out the door, but once I do, I enjoy myself. When I'm at home I'm happiest, even with my family around I'm not having the best time. When I'm home alone and I can just listen to a record or read a book, I truly am really really happy. I just don't see how I can progress in life being this way.

Preferably one where you can talk one on one and not in a chat room.

I recently downloaded a split single and when I extracted the files only one of the songs had gone through. So I went back to the unzipped folder and the other file was there and listed as an MP3. I tried to open it but it wouldn't work. I then tried to copy it to the extracted folder but it said it cannot be copied because 'filename is too long.' It won't let me rename the file either so I don't know what to do. Can anyone help?

It seems like every time I fall asleep I have dreams about some sort of intimacy with my friend. She's not my best friend. We're both girls and I'm bisexual, I'm not out though. My friend has a boyfriend. I enjoy the dreams when I'm sleeping but the next day I feel disgusted and can't imagine myself ever enjoying that in real life. I have no attraction to the girl, although I used to.

Okay. So this will sound pathetic. But I need help. I've liked the same guy for almost three years now. He has liked me a lot of that time too but (because of our own reasons) we've never gotten together. At the moment he has a girlfriend, and he's been in the relationship for a long time. I don't know what the girl is like, I've never met her. But he still asks me to meet up sometimes and all he does when we do is hug me and hug me and hug me. But in June he has exams. And after those he'll be moving out of the country. I probably won't ever see him again. This has been bothering me for a long time but now it's gotten to the point where I feel physically sick to my stomach. I have a fear of vomiting so when this happens, I have panic attacks. They're pretty bad. I don't know what to do. It's killing me. I need to stop these attacks. And moving on is not an option, believe me I've tried. I should of made my move a long long time ago. Now he has a girlfriend and I feel that I can't. I know that if I made a move on him he would go along with it but I won't do that beacuse he has a girlfriend. But I've only got a month left. I'm freaking out. I'll regret this for my whole life if I let it pass. I'm not exaggerating. I may be being dramatic, but believe me I am not exagerating. Can someone please please help?

I'm not weight concious at all. But today I went to the doctor about my anemia and appearantly I'm a fair bit underweight. I don't try to gain or lose weight, don't think I'm damaging myself. But whilst I'm abnormally thin from the waist up, my thighs are actually massive. The bottoms of my legs are big too but mainly my thighs. It feels like all my weight is in them. Can anyone explain this? And I am in no way paranoid, they are noticably big.

I've liked this guy for three years and he's liked me too but it's always been circumstance that we've never ended up going out. In the beginning we had a massive chance but we were both too stupid to take it and we both regret that to this day. And we've always liked each other since then, we don't have to say it but it's an unspoken understanding. So he has a girlfriend of a few

months now. He hasn't told me this but a couple of my friends are friendly with the girl. I ran into him by chances a couple of weeks ago and we ended up spending the day together. We had great fun and we spent an hour or two just lying together in this swing thing in a park. And after that day I felt really guilty because, even though the most we'd done was hugged, if I was his gf i'd hate him to do that with another girl. And the other day I was really really stressed out and depressed and all my friends were arguing and I was just everyones mutual friend and everyone was asking me for advice and my head was fit to explode. I needed to get away from all of them and I even ended up spilling my feelings to a friend who doesn't really know the others, but he wasn't much help really, he's not good with feelings. Then I thought i'd meet the guy this questions all about, just to talk. So I text him and he was like ya sure. So a couple of hours later I met him and again, we just lay together. Like we don't even have to talk, we just lie next to each other. And we're as close as two people can get without making out or whatever. But once again, after I felt bad. Now I don't know if I should say something to this guy or just cut contact or something. I don't think I could cut contact though. I mean he's my friend as well. And I do want to say something but the thing is he's never ever mentioned his gf to me. And I just feel it's up to him to tell me that. He's always saying he loves me and, rather than me answering, he just says he knows I love him too. I never answer. A friend of mine says that he probably likes me more than his current girlfriend. But whether he does or not, she could love him and I could never to that to a person. I really don't know what to do about this.

Does anyone know some good movies i could watch with my six year old brother? We both don't like Disney movies. We both love Harry Potter. I want to watch a movie that we could both enjoy, he's not very easily scared. I'm looking for a good adventure movie or weak thriller so he doesn't get frightened but i'd still enjoy it. He loves the movie Donnie Darko, that's an insight into how he's not easily frightened.

What subjects do you need to do well in and how well do you need to do etc. I live in Ireland but plan on going to college in England btw.

When I like someone I tend to make them aware of all of my faults all in one go rather than flatter them or act pretentious. Even if it's just with a new friend. It's because I have to be completely, utterly truthful to people. But it is very frustrating. I mean, I can't help it. I know the exact moment to say something good and true but feel more inclined to be negative. I'm sure it makes people think I'm a lot worse person than I really am. Any advice?

Can anyone relate to this song? Does anyone like how it's written? Constructive criticism is welcome, what I'm looking for really.

The Posters Have Made It

It makes me sad to sit here and see

A hundred faraway faces staring right at me

I'm sitting here in a town that I hate

Looking at all these people who're searching for their fate

They're out there somewhere and they're living it up

Whilst I'm stuck in here waiting to grow up.

I just wanna be gone

I hate this place so much

The days and weeks are so long

So long, so long, i've just gotta clutch

Onto what I do have

It may not seem a lot

But I've got a dream - and it's all I've got.

I'm looking up at Billie

And I'm looking up at Frank

I'm looking up at Mark

and I'm looking up at Kurt

And I'm thinking, was his life really so dark?

I miss him like a best friend

I've never even met him

He blew himself away before I was ever born

But he left a print on me

And I feel so forlorn

And I've got a connection with a corpse.

It's really cold and I'm shivering

My eyes are watering and my fingers are numb

Oh please, when will the day come?

I'm in despair, I want you to hear;

When can I leave this hell!

When can I finally be myself?

When can I wear what I want?

Look into the mirror and smile at what I see

Cause what I'm looking at now, it is not me

My true self dwells inside and claws at the beast holding it in

Longs and longs for a chance to be seen

It may not seem much to you

But at least you know your name.

The saddest thing is that when I'm old

Tales will be told

And I'll laugh and I'll smile

But all the while

I'll be wishing I had a teenage life to look back on.

I wish my life didn't turn out so wrong.

As for now I'm hoping, hoping to make it out of this hole alive.

I was in school today and I was very down for some reason. I had a lot of free classes and my guy friend was sitting beside me for one and was meant to stay but he had to leave to do some project work and I felt so lost, I begged him not to go. I wouldn't normally be this clingy - I was just down. And i went through the next class sitting alone, my other friend sat in front of me and I talked to him for a bit but I just felt so depressed. I couldn't concentrate at all on my work and I felt like crying. When my friend got back from his project work I was a little better but not much. Leaving that class I got a hug from my crush but I didn't care at all, I felt comepletely apathetic and just wanted him to go away. I struggled through the next few classes

and when I was walking home I felt so unbelievably tired. I also really wanted my iPod and when I got home I couldn't manage to eat my dinner and I tried to sleep but couldn't. I then got by iPod and it's raised my mood so much. I need to do homework but I have no motivation whatsoever and whenever I take my iPod out I start to feel down again. It's really strange, I don't know what's wrong. Music always makes me feel better though.
