I met a wonderful woman. I am a Christian, and as such, that is a requirement for any women I pursue a relationship with. She is, and actually significantly more mature than me in that regard. Enough about that though.
My problem is that I don’t know that I am interested in her. I met her online, we sent emails for about 2 months, met in person, and I was immediatly smitten with her. I literally thought I had found the one for me. Then she started raising concerns that my interest in her was based only on the fact that she was so interested in me. I can kind of understand that too. I am not very physically affectionate. All we ever did was hug when the night was over. We took walks, watched movies, and every time I would labor in my mind over reaching out and holding her hand or bringing her close to me and just sitting close to each other during the movie. It got to the point where the last few times we have been together I was thinking about it every moment I was with her. I was thinking about it so much that it really interfered with me being able to enjoy her company, and I think it really turned her away. Believe me, I wanted to touch her in those ways. It’s just that it’s all new stuff to me, so I psyched myself out of it horribly. I am way to self-conscious. I think what happened is that I labored over it so much in my mind, that I was just anxious around her and stopped enjoying being with her. Coupling that with her doubts that I was only interested in her as a reaction to her feelings towards me, I now don’t know if I like her. I had zero doubt that I did early on. I didn’t doubt me feelings at all until she raised her concerns. Now I just don’t know what I feel. Add to this the fact that she was raped during the time we were emailing each other. She told me about it two days after we met in person. That only makes the situation more complicated, and my feelings towards her more ambiguous. What part of my caring for her is out of a sense of pity and obligation to protect a woman in danger? I think very little. We decided to end the relationship and it mostly her decision. She just didnt’ think that I like her nearly as much as she liked me. Again, I understand her concern. I did a horrible job of showing I cared for her. That’s a small part of the reason I was hesitant to touch her. I didn’t know if me touching her in even the smallest way would totally freak her out(due to the rape). Dealing with the rape is a big issue still for her. Maybe she just needs time, possibly lots of it to heal from that, without burdening herself a relationship that she believes is one-sided. I don’t think it is. I mean, I think about her constantly, and I think how wonderful it would be to be with her the rest of my life. I also have moments when I wonder if I like her romantically at all. Pretty much, the whole situation is a ridiculous mess. LIfe is messier than I ever could have imagines. Any thoughts?
I am going soon and wondered if the pharmacies in Nassau had over-the-counter medication with codiene like Tylenol #1.
I know they do in Canada and I’m attractive sure they do in Nassau, I just wondered about the strength.
I just HATE to ask my NS for two weeks worth of hydrocodone when I go. I’m currently taking two in the morning when I wake and two before I sleep along with Vioxx in the morning.
Thanks.
I was just wondering where Christie has been. I havent seen her post lately and I was just hoping she is doing okay. As for me HA. I sit here in pain…lol…day 2~ NO COMMENT. Everybody hang in there. Sin~~
Lately I have been waking up and my throat is really congested. It feels really dry, and it is hard to swallow. It feels like there is a lot of mucous or something. It is attractive scary I have to keep clearing my throat, and takes a little while to feel normal again. Any ideas what this could be??? Thanks!
Ok for as long as I can remember I get these pains. I was seeing a Gastro DR but honestly it did nothing for me. They did take out my gaul bladder and say ok everything will be fine. WELL ITS NOT!! I get these very very sharp pains right under my breast area. It hurts so bad sometimes that my food comes back up. If I ate and I get these pains my food will definitly come back up. It hurts so bad. The pain is right under my breasts right in the middle. When I get the pain I cant even touch that part of my body because it is so sensitive. Has anyone ever had this?? I have been on everything thinking its acid reflux and what not. I have used Nexium, Prevacid, Zantac and this stuff that like a powder NOTHING helps! Someone please help I cant take the pain ANYMORE!! Its becoming so frequent that I can barely eat!!

Hi,
I just called a local ENT and ased if they specialize in Dizziness & balance issues and the doctor himself said, yes we specialize.
Is this what all ENT’s will say?
Anyone used the Podee hands-free baby bottles? Or heard anything about them - fine or bad?
I’m not complaining i’m just curious. Why is it that my wrists, arm & leg bones etc. so much thinner than eveyrone else? I’m an 18 year old male.
I currently weigh about 124-125lbs, i was 111lbs before i started lifting weights.
For example, in my Spanish class. There’s like 50 people in it, and only 2 people in it have wrists as small as me, and both of them are girls, and they are both about 5′4 or maybe even 5′2 i can’t tell very well.
None of my family on either side have thin bones like me. Even my sister who is 5′3 has slightly larger wrists.
In fact i have never seen another male with smaller wrists, except for this one guy when i was working in a remedial clinic and he was paralyzed and in a wheelchair.
It doesn’t matter to me but i am just curious why are my bones so thin?
Hello everyone. I am a new member. I have been going through an immense challenge, with going through several medical tests. My immune system is extremely taxed and I am contracting every virus that comes around. I’ve had pneumonia 3 times in the last year. I’ve seen a rheumatologist who diagnosed me with "myalgia" and my family doctor says I have osteo-arthritis.
I really need support on this subject, as it is hard to prove scientifically that the breast implants (of 20 years) are causing my immune system to go crazy.
I’m exhausted all the time and am losing hope, although I am usually very spiritually strong. Anyone out there relate?
Best to All.
A month ago I went to have my annual pap test done but requested a female this time. She was a physician assistant I never had before. She had trouble getting the cervix to stay open so she could get a sample. I never had such a painful pelvic exam before and wondered if I had made a bad decision requesting her or if the exam would have been the same with my regular (male) doctor. I always felt strange having a male doctor do the exam, so then someone had suggested to me to ask for a female and so that’s why I did but am wondering if I regret it now. It felt like an eternity until she got done! During the exam she asked, "Did anyone ever tell you that you have a polyp on your cervix?" I told her no and now I’m worried that this polyp could cause me trouble. I had to put a pad on that day because I was bleeding a little bit from the exam.
Can a polyp like this be cancerous? When the doctor’s office called with my results and said they came back normal, I was glad, but she wants me to have a second opinion now because of the polyp. So they set me up with a specialist. I would have had to wait until November to see a female specialist (apparently a lot of women want a woman doctor!), so I settled for a male doctor so I could get in this month yet, on Sept. 29. I’m starting to really worry about this. The physician assistant had said it is a large polyp and might cause me problems. I forgot to ask her if the results from my pap test would have shown whether or not the polyp is cancerous. I was trying not to worry but now for about the past week I’ve been having some pain up there someone. It’s hard to pinpoint the exact location, but I have a pain up in me that I assume is in my vagina or slightly up further. It feels like a pressure. It doesn’t itch or burn. I always feel this pain and especially feel it when I’m going to the bathroom. I don’t think it’s a urinary tract infection, but I really can’t be sure. I do know that it’s just uncomfortable to urinate because of this pressure in there, but I am always aware of this pain. It’s not an unbearable pain but seems to be more noticeable every day.
I was tempted to call the doctor’s office again because of this pain but thought that’s probably no use since it takes weeks for them to get results from tests, so even though my specialist appointment is 10 days away, I probably wouldn’t get the test regulars from the family practice center any sooner than my other doctor’s appointment. I just don’t know what to do. Since I’m not in incruciating pain (and I hope it doesn’t get that bad either), I thought I’d try to wait it out the ten days. Does anyone have any idea what this pain could be from? I haven’t had my period for two months, but then I guess that’s not real strange because my periods have been very irregular for almost the past year. I’m suspecting that I’m starting to go through menopause since I am 49 yo. Is it possible that a polyp could restrict the flow of a woman’s menstrual period? I’m just trying to think of what might be causing this pain. I can put up with it for now but hope it doesn’t get any worse.
i have been losing weight and have no clue why not even my doctor don’t know what happen and why i lost it .i had all test done and nothing is sayin what happen so if u guys can give me some pointers on how that will be great
I am a third year student nurse, specialising in mental health care in the UK. I am writing a dissertation about patientsÂ’ perspectives of seclusion and restraint. (In the UK we do not use mechanical restraints, we use a method of holding somebody on a bed or in a chair) [url="http://www.callnetuk.com/home/personalsafety/crtext.html."]http://www.callnetuk.com/home/personalsafety/crtext.html.[/url]
I was wondering if people here had any experiences of being secluded or restrained whilst being in a mental health facility.
I am interested in hearing peopleÂ’s experiences of seclusion and or restraint.
How did it make you feel?
Has it scared you off obtaining help from mental health services in future?
Was it explained to you why you were secluded or restrained?
Did you agree with the staff that it was necessary to be restrained or secluded?
If you have been restrained and secluded, which did you find most distressing or beneficial?
Do you have any positive experiences of seclusion or restraint?
