I've been feeling really down, and even considering suicide?

look, i didnt read any of that because i want to just hear this before you even start thinking about suicide. why would you commit suicide when you have a beautiful life ahead of you if start to think postively and YOU try to make yourself better/happier, if you dont try, it will never get better! think of how all of the people that have their lives taken by illnesses such as cancer, they didnt want to die and neither should you. good luck x

Anyone Suffering from Chronic Hives?

This is actually going to be some advice for those people who have suffered with chronic hives for a long time. I had (idiopathic urticaria) hives with no known cause for over 2 years. I lived off of antihistimines and steroids(medrol dose packs and prednisone) and was in and out of the emergency room when I had outbreaks all over my body. I had been given the run around by all types of drs. And I was even given meds for what they believed was a stress disorder. I even had a blood test done for allergies but everything came back fine. I was unable to get the skin test because they ask you to come off of your medications for like a week before the test. And there was no way i could. I had to work and go to school. If i did that I'd look like a monster. But I eventually found a good ENDOCHRINOLOGIST and they found that i have hyperthyroidism/GRAVES DISEASE and the way that my body reacted to the disruption in my thyroid function was externally through hives. I had a blood test at this physicians office and they confirmed that the thyroid levels were too high and put me on Methimazole to help slow down thyroid hormone production. I slowly took myself off of the antihistimines and am taking only the methimazole now. I have been taking the medicine only a month or so and feel much better in some ways. I still feel tired and have a very hard time keeping weight on, but at this point i am not having to worry about hives. I just hope that someone who has the same problem will read this and find some hope here. Don't let a dr tell you that nothing is wrong with you. You know your body best and you know when something is wrong. I went through countless dr's and missed opportunities because of what I was suffering with, with no answers. Dont lose hope and keep looking until you get help.

How should Penny Pingleton be portrayed in Hairspray?

I have a callback for Penny Pingleton in my community theater's production of Hairspray. I know she is the slightly ditsy best friend of Tracy Turnblad. She's devoted to her friends and feels smothered by her religious mother and her ridiculous rules. But I really want to ace this callback so does anyone have any ideas of how I should evoke Penny?

PLEASE, I'M SO DEPRESSED:Can anyone tell me if the country will get better this time?...or are we doomed??

Well, your grandma is saying what she says because she is using her experiences as a source. From her experience, **** gets ugly and then it gets better. It's always kind of been that way dont you think? I think her answer to you was pretty spot on. of course, no one can predict the future, not her and not others. No one can tell you its going to get better or worse. We never know.

Whats up with aliens being such a big cover up?

Well see I read about some people who found out the reason and had nervouse breakdowns, and some even suicide? Now what could possibly be that dam scary, and some of those people were military personel, so they should be trained for scary stuff. It makes me wonder if aliens were really our friends, then the secret wouldve not really been a secret, so they have to be wanting to kill us, why else for the cover ups? Couldnt they just say we have,found intelligent life on other planets and there here to help? What do you guys really think? And plz im serious no stupid or immature answers, thanks

Yo yo loach losing colour?

I looked in my tank this evening to check on him and he's lost most of his stripes! There is a very small outbreak of ich in the tank and it's being treated with Jungle Parasite Clear and raised water temperature (around 83f). Could any of this cause him to lose his stripes? Oh and I don't have a water test kit on hand so I can't tell you the water readings, but all the rest of my fish (fry included) seem very healthy and active (despite the ich). Thanks!
