See your doctor as soon as you can. There are many things that could cause it, and some of them might be dangerous if not deadly. Besides...why suffer with it any longer?


i am trying to lose a lot of weight but my big concern is...will my boob size go down? i really want my boob size to go down too, but i'm hoping losing weight ill help it. please tell me if that will work. (link)
In most cases, yes, bust size shrinks with weight loss. It's also -usually- one of the first places fat loss becomes noticeable. Frankly, a lot depends on genetics.


Okay so I had my period for a few months and it was pretty normal and light. Then it went away for like 5 months and I thought it was fine but then I just got it back a few days ago and it's been suuper heavy. Like everytime I put on a pad it fills it up in like 2 minutes. It's disgusting. And like when I go to the bathroom the toilet paper will be covered in blood. Is this normal? Will it become lighter again? :/ (link)
This is one of those that's all dependent on your age. If you're worried about it, you should probably ask your doctor. In the first few years it's pretty normal for the length and quantity to vary a lot.


I recently got a new kitten. He is very vocal. My boyfriend wants him to sleep in the bathroom at night to make sure he uses the litterbox. problem is, he meows A LOT. He's lonely and wants me to be by him. if it were my choice i would have him in bed with me (so far he always uses the box during the day). My boyfriend gets so so mad at night with its meowing and has been putting him in the laundry room, which is cold and unfamiliar to the kitten. i feel bad, so then I make a bed in there and sleep with the kitten. My boyfriend can still here it meow if I am not there and he gets real mad that I wont sleep in bed with him. it causes daily arguments and i am so tired of arguing. I dont want him to be mad, but I don't want my kitten to be lonely either. Please help! and and all suggestions welcome. (link)
Yeah, your kitten is lonely, and if he is not socialized early, he's likely to become mean or at least aloof. Probably NOT what you got a kitten for.

Kittens are generally good about using the litterbox. That should not be an issue; it's instinctive to go where the waste can be buried. There are always exceptions, of course (like, kittens raised outdoors then brought inside, and kittens who are sick), but your home is actually in more danger from little claws than from litter box accidents.

The vocal stage will mellow out (again, in most cases), as will some of the other "cute at first but old now" kitten behaviors, but meanwhile, you should take every possible opportunity to be with the kitten and play and visit with him. And actually...your boyfriend should too. Separating him (the kitten, that is) from you is probably only making him anxious, which eventually leads to a host of other problems.


I have some real bad attachment issues. I'm recently out of a relationship and I feel lonely, even though nothing's really changed. I didn't see him that much anyways, but I really want someone to care besides my family... and my only friend I see as a brother at this point. I just really want to feel like I won't end up alone like my mom. I know I'm 19 and I have a long time to find someone special, but I just have this paranoid thing going on. My shrink says that it's something I'll grow out of, but also that a lot of bipolars (like me) have similar problems and that they lead to major crashes. I'm medicated but I'm so scared of hitting that low, of being alone, and things along those lines.
I also feel attachement too quickly. Some guy I just met has been texting me and I get butterflies hoping that MAYBE we'll date. It's been like an hour... and that's not healthy...
How can I cirb this attachment thing? (link)
Not a professional here, by any means, but I have been there and done it, and for me it wasn't attachment issues as much as it was self-esteem issues. It showed itself as attachment issues. If I wasn't in a relationship, I wondered what was wrong, and would take any relationship, no matter how bad, over no relationship at all. For me, the trick was finding an alone-time activity, one thing I could get lost in, that I was proud of, that was mine alone. That gave me a distance perspective on everything else going on in my life at that moment, and from there I could look at it more objectively and decide, "Yeah, I really do see this person as good for me," or "Yikes! I'm trying to get myself hurt again! Where'd my balance go?!" For a lot of people, religion helps. It did not for me. And here's something else...I did MUCH better with a psychotherapist than I did with a psychiatrist. I saw a psychiatrist once, so that I could get meds, and then as needed to get the scrip renewed. The rest of my therapy was with a therapist.

My advice for avoiding that "crash" would be...don't enable your disabilities. I made myself miserable by making excuses for my behavior. I "couldn't help it" because I was "mentally ill." Yes, I am...but the rest was a load of crap designed on a subconscious level to get me attention. Now, if I were OCD...I could maybe get by with the "couldn't help it" argument. I wasted a LOT of time being afraid.


hey im a 15/f and I'm looking for a good perfume. Any suggestions? The name, price, and where you can buy it would be greatly appreciated! girls and guys can say. Girls your favorites, and guys, the ones you think smell good on a girl. Thanks again! (link)
We think the best scent on a woman of any age is just fresh, clean skin. But whatever scent you settle on, use it sparingly. The idea is to entice someone closer, not knock them off their feet from ten yards. Perfume abuse tends to give the impression of insecurity and fear, and as such tends to attract predators and those with no sense of smell. :)
