  • Is this irritable bowel syndrome or something else?

    I just got back from a week long camping trip where I ate fairly less than usual and when I did it wasnt healthy. Today I got home exhausted, ate a large box of pepperoni pizza since I didn't want to make something, and shortly afterwards I felt a lot of pressure my abdomen. It started making a few gurgling noises and when it got painful I tried to go to the bathroom but not much came out.

    After a little while I went to watch tv and then my abdomen started acting up again but this time I had a bunch of diarrhea and now my stomach feels hot. Is this just a short term backlash for my recent bad eating habits or likely a result of something I ate having food poisoning or something?

  • Child psychology theory having to do with impressing people?

    I'm writing a paper on adolescent psychology and can't think of the theory for this. It's when a child (or adolescent, either) wants to please/impress people older than themselves. An example would be a freshman wanting the seniors to think they're cool. Any help appreciated.

  • Is this buyer possibly a scammer?

    A guy sent me an email about an item I'm selling on Craigslist saying: Today after work or Saturday works for me unless you are not free, I work from 8am -5pm. Please let me know. What price were you thinking and what is the present condition for the item get a hoold of me via my direct email..." and then listed an email which sorta looks fake but could just be some legitimate random thing since it isn't just random letters and numbers.

    I just think it's weird that they'd ask what the price is, condition is, and ask to do the stuff through private emails when I listed a price and condition on the item. But on the flip side they're talking about meeting up in person so I'm not 100% sure. Any thoughts?

  • Any idea what I'm sick with?

    Last night I had a bad sore throat, the chills, and my stomach would sort've feel nauseous. But more like "really uncomfortable/the hollow feeling of being hungry mixed with a sort've numbness" and not so much I was about to puke. I never really managed to fall asleep but eventually I got up the next morning, had to use the bathroom, and my stool came out like diarrhea but the stool itself was kind of shredded and had enough whatever it is to make it sink and not float. Today my body has felt weak/like I'm kinda dazed. I've also been drinking alot of water and ate a banana.

    My best guess is it's something to do with stress/lack of sleep because the last few days I haven't gotten much sleep and I've also had to deal with some stuff. It also rained a bunch/was cold yesterday and I didn't have an umbrella so I spent a few hours getting soaked to the point all of my clothes were wet and are still wet almost 24hrs later.

    Any ideas what it is and what I can do?

  • How can we prevent this pregnancy?

    I was screwing the girl I'm dating and the condom broke. She took plan B less than an hour later but we're worried that won't be enough since she also thinks she's ovulating. What else can we do to make sure she doesn't get pregnant?

  • How well does plan B work?

    So I was having sex with the girl I'm dating and the condom broke. We realized after a little while, I ran and got plan B from a local CVS, and so she took it within an hour of the sex. She also thinks she's ovulating. What are the odds she'll get pregnant?

  • Girl I want to date has a friends with benefits?

    There's this girl I wanna date who lives about an hour away. She say she wants to date me too and I'm going up there in 2 weeks to stay with her for a little while. But before she met me she had a friends with benefits with some guy, and still does. He's coming over the weekend before me and she says they'll sleep together. She says this will be the last time and then she's mine. I'm honestly hurt that now that we both admit to wanting to date (but not going to officially start dating until we can see each other more) she still wants to continue the friends with benefits a little more. I know she's single so she technically can, but it feels wrong to me. Any thoughts?

  • She still wants to be friends and do stuff together, but I'm torn?

    We had a huge thing for each other and had tons of fun together, but there was another guy she knew waay longer than me and it came down to me or him. She ended up choosing him because he felt they were already together in a relationship and she decided he was right so she's gonna give "them" a chance, but says she still wants us to be friends because she thinks I'm really awesome and everything. I'm torn. I really fell hard for her and I'm not sure how I'd be able to hangout with her without feeling that pang of loss. Any ideas? I'm confused, sad, and feeling a little hollow

  • Should I try and talk to her or give her space?

    There's a girl I met recently who I've fallen for and she's fallen for me too. There's also a guy she's known since the summer and sorta fell for too. She's fallen for us in 2 different ways though with her falling for him in a physical sense like sex/he's physically attractive and me in the sense that we've connected insanely well, can talk about anything, and never run out of things to say. She's torn between us and the last 2 days I hung out with her and today and probably tomorrow he's with her.

    We'd planned on a movie day at my dorm on Monday which is also when she said she'll hopefully know where her heart is but no promises. I haven't had anything to do all day so I've had plenty of time to think about her and who she'll choose and I wanna talk to her. Should I? Or should I give her space? I was also thinking I'd atleast try and talk to her tomorrow to go over the plan for Monday.

  • Curious about facebook relationship status change?

    So I met this girl a week ago at a fitness test thing and we hit it off pretty fast, she asked if I wanted to be her workout buddy, and whenever I couldn't think of something to say she kept the conversation going. I got her number and texted her the next day, but the next day she asked if she could add me on Facebook and of course I said yes.

    When we were Facebook friends I glanced through her profile and noticed she was single. Over the past week I've been sick so we haven't worked out together, but we've been sending massive messages to each other through Facebook and are planning all sorts of things to do and she invited me to a movie night with her friends tonight.

    But today she mentioned something about her birthday and I went back to look at her profile to remember the date and I noticed she'd hidden her relationship status so it doesn't say single or in a relationship or anything. Can someone tell me what this means?

  • Diarrhea for 5 days, help?

    It sort've started on Friday/Saturday, and Sunday was the first day I realized I was actually sick. I went to the doctors on Monday and he said it should be done in another day or two, but today's now the second day and I still have it. I don't really know if it's getting better or not either. Since Sunday I've had a steady diet of water, saltines, animal crackers, and pretzel sticks.

    The doctor thinks it's some kind of virus, but if it makes a difference I had really greasy pizza and fries the night before I woke up extra early to do a harder then usual workout, and then on Saturday I had a meatball sandwich and leftover fries.

  • My college roommate is from china, could I have gotten sick from him?

    I came back to college a week ago and I've been sick with mild-ish diarrhea for 2-3 days. One person suggested gastroenteritis which is a possibility.

    Symptons are diarrhea no more than 6 times a day, sometimes feeling like I need to crap but there's nothing there/it's sore like something big just came out, dehydration, and abdominal cramping that occasionally becomes nausea.

    The last thing I ate/did before this was ate a bunch of greasy pizza and fries for dinner, then the next morning woke up way earlier than usual (also couldn't sleep that night so laid awake for awhile), walked 40 min into the city for a meeting, and then did a workout ending in a 3 mile run in freezing rain.

    I started having diarrhea that night if I remember correctly but it wasnt bad and has gotten a little worse since. The next day I ate a meatball sandwich and leftover fries. The day after that just saltines, animal crackers, and pretzels.

  • How to get rid of diarrhea?

    I've had it for about 3 days now and 2 days ago barely ate anything except water, a meatball sandwich, and leftover fries which I guess was enough to set it off. But yesterday all I had was water, animal crackers, some pretzels from antie annes, and saltine crackers. I still had it a few times yesterday, and just woke up with it today.

    Is there anything else I can do to flood it out of my system?

  • I need to go from 50 to 100 crunches in a little over a week?

    I've been looking up workout regimens, any suggestions?

    I'm training for the marine corps PFT. I need to be in shape for my application to be sent out by the recruiter since it's an officer course and is very competitive instead of regular enlisted where pretty much anyone could get in.

  • I need to get in Marine Corps level shape soon?

    I'm applying for the Marine Corps Platoon Leadership Class. A perfect score on the fitness test is 18 min 3 mile run, 100 crunches in 2 min, and 20 pullups. Right now I can do 48 crunches and 8 pullups, but haven't ran 3 miles in a couple of years and ran a 7:30 mile last week.

    The initial exam is in 2 weeks, but then they'll take a 2nd exam a few months later. What can I do in 2 weeks to boost my score as much as a possible, and any tips on a long term regimen to get me in top shape? My college has a nice gym with a variety of equipment and a small indoor running track so whether the regimen is low tech or high tech shouldn't be a problem.

    Any help appreciated, thanks
