about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.


I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice


When somebody IMs you on your Sidekick, can you make it ring to let you know someone is IMing you? I know it flashes, but I want it to play music too. (I'm NOT talking about when someone calls you.)

When my cousin had her sidekick, it made the real IM sounds like it does on the computer, but I'm not sure how she did it.

She could have a themed party, or she could have it somewhere. Just try to brainstorm some themes or places to have it at together. Two heads is better than one.

I have been having trouble breathing lately, but I don't know why..

It can't be asthma, I am sure. Yet every time I breathe in I feel like I am not getting enough oxygen in my lungs. I also yawn a lot so that also tells me my body isn't getting enough oxygen..

I do guess it could be from acid reflux that I have. My parents think I am going crazy so they won't do anything. What can I do?

I don't understand why your parents won't believe you. I guess when you like pass out, they'll realize you were telling the truth.

My advice: If it happens during school, see the nurse & see what she says to you.

I have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) and my case is pretty damn bad. I could worry over the SMALLEST things...and not sleep until I either know the answer, or do something right. An example: if I write a LONG essay in pencil ... and then I remember that I have to do it in ink or I get an F...I start FREAKING OUT...like complete, full out PANIC. I start crying, and worrying...and I can't help it. So...what do I do? I rewrite it in pen, and waste my time...only to find that it wasn't even due. This is what always happens...I worry about something, and it isn't even that important. The problem is that, these little problems causing my anxiety are literally RUNING my life. And I ask people what I could do...and they all give me different opinions at different situations...and I'm TOTALLY thrown off. How can I just stop obsessing/worrying over the smallest things that really have no value on my life? grrrr....thanks in advance

I watched the True Life: I Have OCD episode on MTV, and most of them seen therapists to help them overcome it. The therapist put challenges to them & helped them overcome it. Maybe it could work for you.

im a teen girl and i like to watch other girls making out and touching and all that stuff and i feel bad about doing it... is it wrong???

You're probably just bi-curious. It's normal to question your sexuality. You're gonna be doing that for a while because you're still figuring out who you are.

ok so these two guys who i was friends with during the year are realllly annoying me! and i know one of them likes me.. and i dont like him back at all, ahh and they are always up in my bussiness and like basically on top of me the whole time. AND I NEED SPACE! im kinda becoming a bitch to them to give them the idea of LEAVE ME ALONE! but i dont know what else to do!!

Get one of your good guy friends to pose as your boyfriend so he can tell them to leave you alone before he breaks them in half. This kid kept doing the same thing to me last year, so I got a guy friend to do that for me. =)

it all started a few months ago once in a while my computer would freeze and the screen would turn all colors the screen got messed up with lines of color and i would have to restart it by pressing the pc button. now it is happening constantly as soon as i log on the computer goes wack..sometimes during the startup process..do you have any ideas to help this from happening? i have a virus protection program, i dont have any programs like limewire and i dont know why this is happening help would be much appreciated..thank you

You probably have a virus. Did you click something on MySpace or AIM? Or open an email that was unfamiliar? If so, you probably got it from there, but I'm not sure.

Anyways, every computer is supposed to come with a disk just in case it messes up, and you put the disk in & it'll delete everything off & put it all back on, and the virus should be gone. I did that whenever I had a virus, & when I did that, the virus would be gone. And my computer was fast & like new again. The only bad thing about it was losing my pictures & music.

Maybe you could make a disc with your pics & music on it & then just put them back on after you reboot it. If rebooting it doesn't work, call the geek squad. They work at Best Buy.

Ok, one of my bff's(Let's pretend her name is Casey) is 15 and...let's just say she doesn't have that much self confidence, and she doesn't believe in herself. She always has a baby voice like "Wait...wait for me." or she'll repeat things over and over, and sometimes when I'm talking to someone else, she'll poke me and say the same thing the other person said to me. She doesn't act mature for her age, because(to me and my other bff(let's pretend her name is Dani) she hasn't had anything happen to make her be more mature, you know?) and both me and Dani agree that she is getting annoying because of that. I told her already that she doesn't have that good of self confidence, and that me and Dani will help her get and I told her I had a book that would help, but I remember when I read them they didn't help me that much. So can anyone help me try to get her confidence up? and to get her to be more outgoing? If this helps, her personality is like shy, doesn't like speaking in class, speaks really quietly, and stuff like that! Thanks for your help in advance!(Sorry if this was long!)

You can't make anyone be more outgoing, but maybe she'd be a little more mature if she had a boyfriend. Try to set her up with someone. It'd boost her confidence a ton, and teach her to be mature.

How do I stop myself from getting upset over little things that shouldn't even matter?

Ignore them.

Someone I know took 8 Midol and 8 Ibeprofin. (Sorry for spelling).. What is going to happen? Are they going to be okay?

Well, since they took 16 pills, I'm sure they'll be okay. I have taken 16 or more pills once & all I did was get sick. I just felt nauseated, and I slept for a little & I woke up and I was fine. But overdose is different for everyone. Some people just get sick like I do, and other people have to go to the hospital & get their stomach pumped. Or, they might become dependent on that amount of pills & if they don't take a lot next time, they'll get sick because their body isn't used to small amounts.

Why did he/she do it? If they did it to commit suicide, the hospital might put them in the psych ward, because they wanted to do that to me when I went, but they didn't. I would just go to the hospital with them just to be safe.

14/f . i really want to be more outgoing with guys i meet for the first time. i'm pretty shy. and this isn't really good because i look like im 17 which gets me older guys who are more experienced and expect an experienced girl who is not shy. please help! please dont say wait as time goes on you'll be experienced. what can i do to stop awkward silences on the phone, or like idk please just help!

When you talk to someone on the phone [and you have an awkward silence] ask them what they're doing. Ask them about their favorite types of music, or their favorite bands. Maybe ask them to hang out.

Just be yourself, and don't worry about being inexperienced because if you tell them they can guide you.

I guess I probably just need someone to tell me I'm being an idiot for this, but I'm really pissed off right now.

19/F.

I've been living with my boyfriend for about 4 months. We're both university students. We've become really close over the time we've been dating, so it's not just a casual relationship.

Today is our six month anniversary. I wanted to do something really nice for him, because he's been really good to me. I told him about my plans, and he okayed them. I wanted to have a nice romantic evening and cook dinner for him.

He was at military training this weekend (for the reserves) and he got back about an hour ago.

He brought his brother with him. He knows I don't really like his brother at the best of times. He doesn't know when to back off and leave the two of us alone. He's loud and irritating, and he's obsessed with a certain children's card game (even though he's 20 years old).

This brother of his is staying all night. Instead of the nice dinner I had planned, we're either ordering pizza or having tacos, then they're playing video games.

I'm really hurt, because this anniversary really means a lot to me. He doesn't seem to see what the problem is (because I have a math test to study for).

Am I silly for being hurt? If I am, feel free to tell me. I really suspect that I am, and it would help if someone gave me a figurative slap across the face. If I'm not, I'll bring it up with him later tonight.

Thank you!

I'd be pissed too, so you're not overreacting at all. When his brother leaves, talk to him about it calmly.

me and my boyfriend have sex a lot. we have been together almost 2 years. well the other day we had sex three time within a 7 hour period.
i had multiple orgasams and cummed like 3 times in a minute. but after that it got to a point where my entire body tingled and then went numb..i couldnt move at all and i felt like i was going to pass out. he even had to stop for like 15 minutes just so i wouldnt pass out.
i felt high and drunk at the same time and i couldnt even speak without like slurring my words..
is this normal?

You might have just had a full body orgasm. I wish I could do that, haha.

i'm really into independent films and i was wondering if anyone recommended anything similar to my tastes. i really like shortbus, me and you and everyone we know, and ghost world. i'm also really looking forward to seeing eagle vs. shark and across the universe. any suggestions similar to those would be great!

I thought that 'Little Miss Sunshine' was really good. =)

my best guy friend is really open when talking about his feelings. he always wants to know what's going on in my life and isn't afraid to tell me what's on his mind. but recently, his grandfather passed away. his entire attitude changed in that he got really quiet and he wouldn't open up to anyone. i tried to comfort him but he just insists on figuring everything out on his own. he also is in a lot of gt/ap classes and has a lot of homework stress. all of this suppressed anger with his grandpa and his homework has been taken out on me and i don't know what to say to him. it seems like every time i try to talk to him i just get shunned away.

in previous situations when hes upset, i just leave him alone and he eventually cools off. i just feel like he won't cool off as fast with this situation. what do i say to him or what can i do for him to make him feel better?

Just tell him you're always gonna be there for him if he needs you. Don't try to get anything out of him if he doesn't wanna talk. Just leave him alone, and let him calm down. And you're right, he won't cool off so fast with this. His grandfather just died, so closure & healing can take a long time. Just give him time for himself, but just let them know that you'll be there if he needs you.
