- Yes, I think so. I was skinny in my early and mid 20s and everyone said I looked like a teenager. Then when I hit about 26 or 27 I gained about 25 lbs and it seemed like I looked my age or older all of a sudden.I happen to be one of thous aging perverts who hangs out at strip clubs more than I should, a girl was asking me how old I was (just before giving me a lap dance) I told her I was 38, she said I looked younger, she was very skinny, ans I thought she was probably late 20s,she told me she wa 32. I don't think she would be that old, but she was still really hot!I'm back home I've said to much, my ears are ringing and I already feel hung over.
Do you have a mental illness?
Quickest Way to Lose Weight - How Lose Weight Quickly
Recommended Answer:
I have Major Depressive Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Bulimia Nervosa.
Well there are a lot of symptoms for those four...
For Major Depressive Disorder I have a depressed mood all of the time, hypersomnia (I sleep 12-16 hours a day), I barely eat because I''m never hungry, I have psychomotor retardation (everything I do takes so much effort. ex. getting out of bed, putting on clothes, taking a shower), I usually don''t get very much done (sometimes I can put off having a shower for 5-6 days because of the amount of effort it takes for me to have a shower). I isolate myself, I spend most of everyday in my room by myself. I never go out, unless it is to therapy. I self harm by cutting to shut out the emotional pain. I have constant feelings of guilt, sadness, and self-hate. I never think I am good enough, or that I deserve anything. I have suicidal thoughts on a daily basis. I have no motivation to do anything, like going for walks or even getting out of bed half the time. Because of the depression, I haven''t been able to go to school for the past 2 years. Those are just some of the symptoms.
For Social Anxiety Disorder, I have an extreme fear of being judged by other people, I have panic attacks in large groups of people, I am constantly worrying about what I look like because I''m scared of what people think of me (I spend 2-3 hours getting ready before I go out). I avoid all social contact that I can. I am scared to talk on the phone, or to a stranger, or walk through crowds of teenagers. I am scared to say thank you to the mud driver, or look the store clerks in the eyes. When I am anxious I have the tendency to start to cry, just from reflex, which causes me to be even more anxious. I cannot talk in front of crowds, I cannot ask a waiter for water at a restaurant, my thoughts are always jumbled because there are so many things going through my head. So basically, I don''t leave the house unless I have to because I''m paranoid and scared of other people.
For OCD, I have a different kind of OCD than you are probably used to hearing about. For me, my OCD is mostly thoughts that I do not want. I do have a bit of a problem with uneven numbers and things not being aligned, etc. But for the most part, my OCD is based on thinking things that I do not want to think. These are things that cause me a lot of stress. They are often thoughts about me killing or raping other people, or other people killing and raping me. These thoughts just come over and over and over, and they cause me to have severe panic attacks. Sometimes the thoughts come again and again until it feels like I might actually act on the thoughts even though I don''t want to. I''m constantly scared that I am going to hurt someone else, that I am a horrible person, even though I know that it''s the OCD causing these thoughts.
For Bulimia Nervosa, I haven''t really been having the physical symptoms lately because I haven''t been hungry (because I''ve fallen back into depression). I do still have the horrible guilt and self-hate from eating. Usually, when I am not severely depressed, I binge, eating more than 3000-5000 calories in about an hour. After this I feel so horrible about myself that I do one or all of these things. I throw up as much of the food as I possibly can, and then I exercise for 3-4 hours burning approximately 2000 calories for the next few days, and in those next fews days I do not eat a single thing. I usually only gain 2-3 pounds after a binge, which is not ''real'' weight, just from the food inside of me, and water weight and stuff, but then I lose about 5 pounds from the exercise and fasting. On days that I am not binging, I am eating a low 400 calories maximum, which is considered an anorexic diet, but because I binge/purge, I am Bulimic. My throat hurts for a while after purging, I am constantly sore from exercising, and I am ALWAYS hungry (when I am not depressed). My thoughts rarely move away from food, it''s always there in the back of my mind calling to me. It''s horrible, feeling like you are fat and worthless all of the time.
So......
How do I function? I don''t. I lie in bed all day watching movies to distract myself from the thoughts of wanting to kill myself. I barely leave the house. I take medication.
It''s hard every single day of my life. I am always wondering why I bother to even try and live through it. I''m only 16, I''ve been dealing the bulimia for about 6 months, the depression and anxiety for 3 years, and the OCD for a lot lot longer.
So yeah, that''s what my life is like.
- My mind is ill because of all the horrible things I see on this planet, so I do have a mental illness. I named it mind-numbingness!
- I have a couple, and it''s very hard to live with.
It''s a constant struggle and I feel like it''s something I need to deal with every single day.
Medication varies, and sometimes people are put on/off medications and make changes because it can take a very long time to find some that help you.
Sometimes their are side effects that can make mental illness''s worse, like wanting to make you commit suicide. - I feel like your illness might be not knowing when you''re asking a really personal question and should probably go fuck yourself.
As for meds, I''d recommend one bottle up your nose so you can use it to store that little turd you use for a brain, and that''s being generous.
I really hope you delete this question and wake up with some better sense.
Do you walk through hospital rooms asking who''s got what illness? Or gosh what''s it like having tubes in you? And cancer must be tough huh? - This is a close friend who suffers from Depression and mild Bipolar , what he does is to be with good people,friends family,read takes controlled medication,has a good partner who is very understanding and loving and friendly.
He also is close to the Lord,it very comforting to know there is some one who suffered for us,who felt every pain we feel and the pain of every one who has ever lived and will live.Even if there is no one out there you think will listen,there is some one.
Most days its hard for him,as he also has physical issues but he does his best and thats all any one can ask for. - I have been suffering with depression for a while now. It had impacted my social life greatly. I mostly stay to myself, something it is hard to focus, I find myself just thinking deep, can''t sleep, feel weak, chest pain, feeling like crying and other. I tried to exercise. I have tried many different depression medicines.I am on Wellbutin now, It is hard every single second.
- I have a mental illness. It plagues my mind every waking second and even disturbs me in my sleep. I have anxiety/ depression and mild anorexia. I dont take medication and my parents dont know about my eating disorder. It makes me feel like I''m crazy. I want to die sometimes, but I always hold on. I need serious help but i dont know where to find it. I dont feel comfortable telling anyone in my family. But I have it good. "I cried I had no shoes until i met a man with no feet." There''s always someone out there who has it worse than I do so I try not to feel sorry for myself
- I am a teenage girl who has been suffering from anxiety, depressions, OCD, panic attacks and emetophobia for years and years now. My symptoms are panic attacks, deep breathing (even when I''m not panicking), social anxiety (I get scared speaking to people for example, being in queues, I''d revise what I was going to say to the shop keeper over and over and get really worried about talking to them), very low moods, often cry a lot because I struggle talking about my problems and worries.
One of the hardest things for me is wondering how people around me think of me. Communicating with people around you about how you feel is so hard; my mind chatter often tells me "you''re just pestering them", "they obviously just think you''re an attention seeker", etc which is anxiety fueling me to keep my feelings and fears to myself.
I am lucky enough to have an understanding mother, father and partner who help me through everyday (though I still worry to myself that they don''t understand, or I''m annoying them, etc).
Yes, it is hard, but I''d say most days for me personally, because I do have great days where non of my symptoms will occur! But sadly, for a lot of people, its a struggle everyday - just depends on what symptoms and how people deal with them.

Fast Ways to Lose Weight and Keep it Off Forever!
Recommended Answer:
You should consider running everyday. You''ll loose more fat more you run and your leg muscle will start to burn away the fat and building muscle.
- Doing squats doesn''t help you lose fat. They''re strength training and for building muscle. Cardio and a slight calorie deficit from your maintenance calorie needs will help you reduce fat (ie: lose weight). but it comes off all over your body, you can''t target fat loss.
If you aren''t doing so already, use weights while doing squats (other exercises). You should reach muscle exhaustation in 8-12 reps and do 3 sets. Full body workouts would be more beneficial than just targetting problem areas.
Does our body crave unhealthy food?
What''s the Quickest Way to Lose Weight? - In One Week
Recommended Answer:
Our bodies can certainly crave unhealthy foods which typically are loaded with carbohydrates which easily convert to sugar. This basically comes about because of the sugar rollercoaster our body is on when we consume lots of carbs. We consume carbs, which quickly convert to sugar in our bodies. Insulin is produced to metabolize this sugar and out blood sugar level begins to drop. When the blood sugar level drops below a certain level we start to crave more carbs to raise blood sugar level again and the cycle repeats. Fat and protein do not convert to sugar so quickly so when you consume them you don''t go on the same rollercoaster ride. Your body is better able to maintain a more stable sugar level. Because of this, a low fat diet is often counterproductive for people trying to lose weight because those fat calories are often replaced with carbs which cause the rollercoaster and cause you to consume even more calories overall than if you if you consume fat.
You can probably develop cravings for healthy foods, but unhealthy foods are soooo much more accessible. They are conveniently packaged; often require no preparation; are tasty; and are everywhere. When you go to a movie theater your are offered popcorn and candy, and various other junk foods. I''ve never seen them offer a bag of carrots and broccoli and some hummus to dip it in.
- Our body craves sugars that break down quickly. Regardless of where it comes from.
- there addictive and taste sooo good
- Our bodies don''t, but our minds do. Sure, your tongue is part of your body, but the impulses go back to the mind. The brain tells it to salivate, not the tongue making itself do it.
"The mind, is more important than the body." Arnold Schwarzenegger- Still Pumping(pumping iron) - THE EVOLUTION OF CRAVING
Experts believe that cravings occur for a variety of reasons. They attribute them to evolution, psychological factors such as stress and unhappiness, and - sometimes - a genuine need for certain foods.
''It''s crucial to remember that a food craving is not simply hunger,'' says Professor Andrew Hill, Head of the Academic Unit of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences at Leeds University.
Hunger is the body''s way of making sure it is provided with energy, in the form of nutrients from food. When the stomach is empty, it releases the hormone ghrelin, which communicates with the brain''s command centre, the hypothalamus. This creates the feeling of hunger and is how we know when to eat.
Satiation is signalled by the release of the hormones leptin by fat cells, and insulin by the pancreas, in response to increased blood sugar.
Cravings, however, are much more complex. - I do not crave junk food in fact I don''t like it at all. You will only crave them if you get addicted to the high levels of sugar and salt. My preference is always for real food.
WEIGHT LOSS QUESTIONS*** PLEASE HELP***** 20 pounds in one month?
Recommended Answer:
I am quite sure you will be able to achieve that within one month into the weight loss program. At the same time you also need to show sheer determination towards your weight loss efforts. And the greater restriction will come to your from the diet perspective. You will really need to control your diet habit. And have to exclude all kind of fat from your diet.
Next factors which you will need to work out is the exercise. Without maintaining an active lifestyle you won''t be able to keep track of your progress. I mean you may loose weight because of strict dieting, but if you do not exercise regularly your body will again store those fat. And you will again need to work out hard.
These are the most important factors which helps you to loose weight. And if you regularly follow these two criteria, there are no reason why you could not hit 100. You may finish well under 100 too.
