I am 30 and feel so incredibly lonely that I no longer wish to be here. I have longstanding self-esteem issues and have suffered from bulimia since the age of 19. Last year I received counselling and antidepressant medication for depression due to being in an unhappy job (which I finally got the courage to leave), isolating myself and an accumulation of all the self-esteem and sad thoughts I'd been having for so long.
I was doing so well, started a new job in Nov last ...

The dream is always the same. Everytime I go to sleep it happens. In this dream, its an open field with a single blossoming tree in it, nothing else. The sky is a blank blue, not a cloud in sight. But in the horizen, the sky is red. The treee then withers and dies, and comes back to life rapidly, over and over again in just a few split seconds. Next thing I know, I'm awake. What could it mean?
A: Hello and thanks for your ...

These last few weeks I've been feeling really depressed. I'm not entirely sure, but I believe it's because I don't have a girlfriend. I've never really had any (close) friends. I've never really had anyone that I could talk to about what's on my mind. I'm lonely. None of the few friends I do have live anywhere me. All I need is someone I can talk to. Because I'm 15 and never had a girlfriend, I've been feeling very lonely and depressed. Is there anything ...

I had left my husband and after finding out I was pregnant, went back to him. My question now is that we are both miserable, we want to leave our spouses, we know what we are doing is wrong, but there are children involved ...

I've always been very shy and find it really hard to make friends. I don't really have any because I'm not outgoing and find it hard to talk to people. I think there's something wrong with me.
I get very uncomfortable and nervous when talking to people I've just met. I stutter and look down alot because making eye contact is uncomfortable. I want to be outgoing and make friends because I feel so isolated. I don't know what to do and how to get over ...

I know it's illegal, but why does MDMA give me relief from my racing, obsessive thoughts and provide a well being I never before in my life have felt? Over the years I have taken other meds to try and control my depression and OCD, but it always ended the same way; too many side effects, weight gain, sexual disfunction, etc,.
I do realize there are side effects in using MDMA; but for myself, I use only two or three times a month, by myself at ...

Hello. I have stretch marks on my body including my hands, stomach and breast area. I never had sex before because I didnt want my partner to see the stretch marks. I want to know whether guys have problems with stretch marks and will guys not want to have sex if they see the stretch marks. Thanks
A: Hello and thanks for your question:
The most honest answer I can give you is that if they care more about stretch marks than you, then they aren't worth ...
