I always have that nervous feeling in the pit of my stomach and I worry about everything constantly. I worry about family and friends and my boyfriend. I always worry somethings going to happen to my family or that my boyfriend will leave me. I also have sever social anxiety. I can't even hang out in a group of people without feeling like I want to leave. I never know what to say and I'm always worried I'll saya the wrong thing...

is there anyone else who feels like this, or am I completely crazy?

I was a very social person in high school and constantly hung out with people and was friends with everyone. It was after my first serious boyfriend that that all changed. It was a messy breakup and most of my friends ended up following him instead of me (since we had the same friend group)..I went on to meet someone else who cheated on me. I, then, became even more of a recluse. I am with the love of my life now and we are engaged, but I still can't bring myself to want to go out and meet people. I'm in need of real friends and I can't always rely on my fiance to be there for me when I'm lonely. He has a life. and he has his own friends. Why can't I just get out there and learn to have a little fun?

I have attended a community college for 2 years, and plan to attend a local university in the Fall. I am already sick of school and have no true passion for anything. I don't know if my major (education) is what I want to spend all of this time getting a degree for.

I don't really want to attend college but there's no other way to get a decent job and make a living. How do I overcome this stage of not being interested in school at all?

I like to watch Kiki's Delivery Service, read Archie comics or listen to Disney songs...pretty much anything I used to do as a child helps comfort me when I'm feeling low. What about you?

I had what looked like a large mass of blackheads on the side of my nose near the bridge. I'd had it for a few years. My boyfriend pinched it and ton of stuff came out of it. He claimed there was still more in, so the next day he pinched again. He pinched so hard and it hurt really bad. Well...that night, I noticed my eye was swelling up and the area around the pimple was hardened. It goes from the corner of my eye all the way to the bottom of my nose. My eye has been swollen for a couple days and it hasn't really gone down any, but it has not gotten any worse either.

What could this be? Is it a cyst that needs to be lanced? It hurts worse with each passing day, and is causing my head to hurt on the left side.

It seems like I never want to get out of bed and do anything. I swear, all I do is play on the internet, talk on my phone and sleep. I take online classes at school, so that's made me even lazier considering I don't have to get out of bed to go to class.

I am just tired of feeling so useless. I want to get out there and actually do something, and every night before I go to bed I tell myself that I will, but I never do. I just lay in bed. It's literally like something's holding me down and wont let me up.

I also considered that this could be depression, but I'm not sure...I feel like depression would just put me in a bad mood, not freakin' cripple me!

Lately I've been having a lot of trouble falling asleep and keep falling asleep later and later each night. recently I've been going to bed at like 5 or 6am every morning, and waking up at like 3 every afternoon. Is this normal? I feel like as long as you're getting the 8 hours of sleep, it shouldn't matter, but I've been really worried about my health lately and I've been feeling extremely fatigued. Would my sleep schedule have anything to do with that?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 9 months now. A few years before we started dating he was a bit on the chubby side. He started working out and got really fit and lost a ton of weight. Well...he recently started gaining it all back because of stress from his job, etc. He constantly talks to me about how fat he is, and how he's unhappy with his appearance. I tell him over and over that I love how he looks and I wouldn't have it any other way. Lately he's been eating SO much. Like, I'm not even sure how his body can hold all the food. I tell him to slow down and not eat so much, and he stops...but then later I'll see him sneak back to the kitchen to eat more. Every time he, what I can only assume is "binge eats", he tells me he's going to go take a shower. Which...it's odd he takes a shower every time he eats.

Well...one day I heard him gagging in the toilet while the shower was running. So he obviously wasn't in the shower. After I noticed this, I started paying more attention. He is puking almost every day from eating so much.

I don't know if he's puking just because he feels bad from eating so much, or if it's because he's trying to lose weight by throwing up his food. Either way, it's an eating disorder because binge eating most definitely isn't healthy.

I'm scared to address this issue, and I'm not sure what to say to him. How should I go about this? I'm really worried about him...but I don't want to make him feel like I'm attacking him or judging him. I just want him to get some sort of help.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

Mine is probably Sam's speech at the end of Two Towers. What are yours?

I love my boyfriend and we have a lot of amazing times together. He's no doubt my best friend in the whole world. The only problem is, he has a horrible temper that I honestly just can't stand sometimes. We used to be engaged, and we had ONE fight, and he freaked out, demanded I give him back my engagement ring, and he left for 3 days. He eventually came back around and apologized for what he did, but I don't think he realizes that his temper tantrums actually do hurt me, and kind of make me paranoid that he's going to lash out at any second.

Currently he is not talking to me because his Xbox headset wont work? Uh, yeah. Not even kidding. His headset won't work, and he blamed me for breaking it (even though I've never touched it), threw it across the room and it hit the wall hard. He let out a few F bombs, and just freaked out.

Hasn't talked to me for 5 hours. Now he's mad that his mom won't get him a loan for a car. So he's not talking to her OR me.

He can just be very immature sometimes, and it honestly just disgusts me. How do I address this? I do love him, and I do want our relationship to work, but this needs to change before I can make any sort of long term commitment to him. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Is it that they were actually good, or is it just the nostalgia kickin' in?

I just don't get it. Why do people cheat? Why can't you just break up with someone, and then get with that other person? Haha. There should never be an excuse.

I am a huge fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and I know pretty much everything there is to know about them..the only thing I'm not certain about is where they go at the end. The ship that goes "into the west". Is it like a heaven type place?

Also, where is it that the elves go to? (The place where Elrond tries to send Arwen but she has a vision, and returns home) where is the place they're headed?

Whenever I put makeup on my face gets extremely flaky. Like it's peeling or something. I just want a smooth creamy face. What do I need to put on it? (I have some bad acne bumps, not red or blackheads, just bumps)

I want to look cute, sexy, but comfortable and casual. It'll be pretty hot in San Antonio, so keep that in mind.

I have no fashion talent, guys. I need help. Haha.

I have a pass, so I'm able to be on base. We (his mom and I) also have a hotel room on base. What will be able to do? I hear the MTIs are always breathing down your neck while your on town pass. Hahaha. I want to still have a nice relaxing time with him, without feeling like someone's watching us. I've missed him for too long.

My boyfriend has been gone for 2 months to basic training, and I finally get to see him in 3 days! :) I'm super excited, but I'm also nervous. Is it normal to be nervous? I don't know what to expect. He's made it seem, in his letters, like he was going to propose to me..I'm so nervous!
