Is there something wrong with me? Is this bad for my health?
Ok, um, hi. I'm Aly. Yes I know the screen says Sheila, that's my first name I am 13 and a girl. I am asking this question about sleeping. I'm just wondering if this is normal and healthy On a school night when I wake up at 6 30 a.m. I usually fall asleep around 11 p.m. to midnight. I do very well in school, I have straight As all the time and I'm involved in lots of extra curricular activities too. I know that I do not get as much sleep as I should, but since I do well in school and it doesn't effect affect? that, is this okay? I do not need very much sleep at all generally. On weekends I don't fall asleep until about 2 or 3 or 4 a.m., depending on what I have going on, and I usually wake up around 8 30 9ish. So is this okay? I don't want my sleeping pattern to mess me up and cause health problems later in life or something, so that's why I'm asking this question. But here is what I really want to know. Last night, I fell asleep at 2 30 a.m. we are on summer vacation and woke up at 4 15 a.m. because my family and I were leaving to go on a trip and wanted to get started early. So I only got about 2 hours of sleep, and yet, I am completely fine today. I am not tired at all and I'm feeling good too, no head aches or anything of the sort. But surely this cant be normal? How can a person get 2 hours of sleep and not even be a little bit tired?? In fact, its 11 p.m. now of the next day I guess, and I'm still going strong Oh and I have not had any caffeine or energy drink of any kind. So why am I okay? I think it would be normal if I were passing out with exhaustion, but I just want to stay up some more One last thing I stay up by choice I think. I don't think I have insomnia or a sleeping disorder that makes it difficult for me to sleep, I think I am just a night person. Sometimes I do have trouble falling asleep but I don't think its any worse than what anyone would have...everyone can't sleep sometimes. I don't want to sound really rude or awful or something, but will someone who kind of knows what they're doing answer this? I really don't want false information.. thank you so much in advance
How can ask my doctor about my mental health?
I'm really concerned just now about my mental health and think there is something more than depression wrong with me.The problem is I am going to see my doctor in the morning and the thought of trying to bring this up is giving me serious anxieties. I'm rubbish at talking to people about this kind of thing, especially face to face. I am worried about what he will think and say to me. Will he take me seriously?Any suggestions on how to bring it up?

Hello Everyone, I would like to ask a serious question based on the health of my uncle. He has began having?
I have an uncle who lives out of state and is an older gentelman in his mid 60s. Recently he began having problems, where he can't walk, he feels weak, he says he feels a tingly sensation in his chest, and his foot is very swollen. I think it may be clogged artery, but who knows. He has no energy to get out of bed, or is to weak or in pain based on the inflamation of his foot. He does have history with high blood pressure, and does not want to go to the doctor. I think that his wife should rush him to the hospital to get checked out, right?. Please give suggestion on what he should do. He isn't the healthiest man but this is the worst I have heard he has gotten. He is over weight as well. Please and thank you for your time. God bless.

My mental health is getting worse. Should I go back to the doctors or a therpist?
I get anxiety attacks all the time and had been known for them when I was younger to. I would over think things and worry a lot and have those feelings of random embarrassment or I'm so stupid type of thing and involuntarily hit myself or pull my hair. Also last year I was depressed for a year for some reason, I still dont know. And almost got put on suicide watch, but didn't go to it. Instead I went to a differnt doctor. By then my grades were dropping, couldn't concentrate, and my memory is extremly poor along with my sleep. But during the month when I was appointed to see her, this depression just randomly stopped, however my anxiety is still the same, it never left when I was depressed. When I talked to her about it she said it was proboley just a phase. But I left out alot of important subjects to talk about because whenever I try to recall the thoughts and feelings of my anxiety or sadness my mind goes blank and soon I forget the question she asks. And sometimes I daze out randomly when someones talking or I'm just sitting down and feel like I'm floating or have high energy for a couple seconds and then I have some kind of muscle spasm or something. So should I go back to her?. Or do I not need to go to a doctor at all? Also, does anyone have a clue of whats wrong with me. I'm 14 btw

Is there anyone out there like this? I am recently married & eventually want to have children, how is bi polar going to effect this?
Should I be concerned about my mental health?
I'm going to be completely truthful. I'm asking this because I'm a little concerned, so please give me your honest opinion and any helpful advice you may have. I'm turned on by twisted movie characters. When I first saw The Dark Knight, the Joker enticed me. He was wild, unpredictable, and limitless. I went as far as to read Eye Candy, a " romance" fan story centered around Joker from The Dark Knight. I am also embarrassed to say that Lugi from The Avengers arouses me. Although he is pathetic at times, he was controlling and unsympathetic. When he forced that crowd to kneel and started to talk about how freedom is a silly illusion and how humans secretly want to be controlled, something sparked in me. They both would always smile crookedly too, which made them seem even hotter. I don't know why those characters would turn me on or why their characteristics would. I love my freedom and being independent. I stay away from danger and anything that would harm me. I'm so confused. There are other not so good characters I like too. I have fantasies about these messed up characters. I'm not obsessed though. I know the limit. Is my mental health at risk? What would cause me to act this way?

Does eating the wrong foods have an effect on emotional health?
When you eat junk food, foods high in sodium, sugar etc. does this make you feel sad afterwards? And does eating healthy lift up your spirits? I've been noticing a pattern after I eat certain meals at fast food, or even barbeque restaurants, that after eating it I don't feel so happy.

I have a question that relates to mental health..?
I'm going to try and explain this to the best of my abilities. First off, I have severe depression. There are days that I have a neutral mood, a happy mood, but most of the time I'm in a depressed mood. My main issue is that I don't exactly hear voices, but it's like I argue with someone inside my head. The person inside my head basically tells me things to make me even more depressed. I don't really understand it. It's like a raging war between me and the person inside my head. Does anyone know anything about an issue mental disorder that relates to this?
Am I screwing up my future health?
I'm 19 years old. I have an extremely high metabolism and strong immune system. I don't ever get sick, or gain fat. I don't regularly exercise, but I play just about every sport there is, but not on teams, more of just at my college for intramurals during the weeks, and and I certainly don't eat healthy. I drink and smoke once in a great while, but not on a regular basis. I'm very reckless with my body, but I've never broken a bone, or even fractured one. I get a lot of sprains and twists but I get over them quickly. I don't think twice about doing something that could be potentially physically damaging to me, as I've never had anything affect me so far. I draw the line at doing drugs, that's it, everything else is fair game. How long can I continue living like this before it starts to catch up to me?
