I am pretty thin (about 103 pounds at just 5'1), but I am still extremely self concious about my weight. I feel like my stomach is too puffy and that I look fat, even though I know I am slightly underweight. I try to deal with this by working out and eating a bit healthier, but I'm starting to wonder if this is more of a self esteem issue than an actual issue with my body.

I work a full time job at a hospital on second shift and I go to college full time during the day. Despite my busy schedule and crazy workload, I am a relatively happy person. But lately, I have been feeling down for no reason! Why am I feeling this way?

My daughter will be 15 in a little over a month and has not yet had her first period. I am wondering if this is still within a normal age range, or if I should see about taking her to see her doctor. I am not sure if genetics has anything to do with it, but I got my first period three days before my 13th birthday.

How do you overcome an eating disorder that you don't have? When I stress, I tend to have little appetite and feel like I don't have enough time to cook a decent meal, or sometimes even go grocery shopping. This year, I have been incredibly stressed with school and work, and generally just trying to support myself.

Does anyone on here meditate? If so, what do you do and how because I would like to start doing it :)

Exactly a year ago I was on the receiving end of what I suppose would be termed attempted rape. I was at a party in my home and drank excessively, (I'd just broken up with the guy I'd been seeing) passed out on the couch, and woke many hours later to an unknown guy trying to get....intimate.... I had no idea at that point who he was, and wasn't quite comprehending what he was doing.

Ok, so I'm a pretty quiet girl, not shy, quiet, I don't mind talking to people. I'm not horribly ugly, I mean I have my flaws, but I'm not really pretty either. I'm nice to people, and a lot of people tell me I'm funny. Just to put this out there, I'm not like... skanky or sleezy, but I'm not all 'virgin mary' either, I'm like... Plain Jane type. I'm not... fat either. I'm just NORMAL.

Hi. I tend to be really touchy. Cry at stupid things. It's getting to the point it causing me issues not only with men but in general. Ive even started taking Zoloft which has helped some. I want to not be so sensitive. What do I do!? HELP!!!

Hey girls! My question is concerning getting birth control...I'm going off to college and I want to get birth control. It's really just to help my period, I'm not sexually active...but I do want to be prepared for that, in case it happens. I know my mom will jump to conclusions if I ask for it, so I've thought about doing it secretly from the school's health center.

Alright, I'll just get to the point...when I get my period I am really cranky and moody. It's been really bad for my relationship. My boyfriend and I, we always end up fighting, I just pick fights and he's really patient with me, even though I become this complete b*tch, he always comes back and apologizes as soon as we're done fighting.
