  • Supersticious feeling. Killed crow 2 days in a row, what does this mean?

    On the same road while driving a crow has flew directly in front of my car and I have hit it two days in a row. I dont know if this means anything. But it can't be good if birds are using me for suicide. Anyone know about supersticious beliefs about things like this?

  • Anxiety disorder, no insurance, getting really bad, any advice?

    well when I was a teenager I got anxiety medicin. I never really believed I did though, i just thought it was my circumstances with my mom and ect. But after I had my son and stopped taking any medication because I dont have insurance then I have noticed things, and it is progressively getting worst or maybe I am now just acknowledgeing them as not just circumstances. i looked it up online and there are things that it described. Like dizziness, and sweating, and not being able to feel my hands and feet or momentary blindness, also haveing to pee frequently. I thought it was so weird literally when I walk into a store now, I start to sweat and have to pee so bad I literally have to run to a bathroom. I freak out, if I dont feel control, if something is wrong with my car I have panic attacks, even if I dont need to go anywhere I drive now feeling like I have to do something or the day was meaningless, I go to bed thinking what I haven't done, I can't sleep till I literally pass out like 2 and wake up at 6 in the morning. If I dont wake up early I feel overwhelmingly guilty of all I didn't do, I count the hours wasted of sleeping. I have anxiety if I eat to much, to where if I eat anything I over eat. I feel guilty when my son is unhappy, I feel the need to do something with him every day, like park, chuck e cheese something or I feel like a lazy mother. I feel guilty to have sex with my sons father. I could go on and on, I feel guilt for everything. I also isolate myself, I think if anyone knows the way I feel they will think I am inadequate as a mother because there is something wrong with me. There is, but I love my child and try my best to show him my best. But it is lonely, I feel bad if I give anything to a friend, or sons father that the more I am giving to someone else the less my son will get from me. I dont have health coverage I dont know what there is for me, but life is sucking the way it is right now and there has to be some sort of options, even ways to help myself.

  • Beauticians what are the facts on being this?

    I have always dreamed about doing hair. My barbies always had cool bobs and was fascinated with hair period. I am kinda of a natural at it. I can do high lights on my self, If I get my hair done I focus on the beautician and there techniques. So anyways I was discouraged to follow my dream because I was told by many that its a difficult job to get into and that I Wouldn't make much money. I would have to build clientele and it would take a long time before I would even make it in the Business. I have a 3 year old so I can't do that I need to pick a career that I would make as much money as possible quickly.Guaranteed future for myself and him.

    What is being a beautician really like?

  • DESPERATE, need advice on a Major. Please anything helps.?

    I just turned 22 and I am a single mother of one 3year old boy. I am finally in the position to be able to go to school. I have enrolled in a technical school, my delima is that I cant start till I pick a major. Till I decide what I want to actually be. I have no clue. When I say no clue I mean it. I thought for a minute that I would like to be a legal assistant and went to the school do be adviced and then they told me sorry we canceled that program. I wanted to cry. It took me a while to be set on something. So now I am back to square one. I am a single mom so I need a career as soon as possible so an associate is pretty much what I am set on, I might continue school after I have gotten the career I wanted. I need something that pays well, whatever career that I can get in a short period of time that pays at least 36,000 a year is what I want. What do I do? Does anyone have any ideas.

    and questions if I got a career in clerical work does that pay well?

    Things I have thought about.

    I would enjoy being a fitness, personal trainer type of person but not sure about the job and pay and how long it would take to become one.

    I always wanted to be a beautician, but EVERYONE tells me how competitive it is, that the first years i will be making very little. It is something I would actually enjoy doing but my son is my main priotity so if the money isn't really there then I wont do it, but am I wrong is that something that actually pays well?

  • Need advice, I just started working out again, I am stuck right now it feels like, I need help pleeeease!?

    I just got a gym membership. I had a baby 3 years ago and gained 80 pounds while pregnant. I lost like 40-50 and am at a pleatue I think. It's really hard to loose more, I am not gaining but the fat seems stuck to me, especially in my stomach. I am a waitress at a busy resturant so walk a lot during the day. I dont eat that much. Drink coffee cause I am exhausted. BUT the real question, I started to work out at the gym. This is what I usually do. I walk on the tredmill 15-20 minutes to warm up. Get on the stair climber for 15 because I can't really do more than that at this time. I do weights to tone up. I do arm and chest weights and stuff for my abs and inner thighes. I get on a tredmill again and speed walk on incline and run for another 30 then sit in the steam room for 10. I have done this for a week every other day. I actually have gained a pound. Will I start loosing weight or what. I eat normal food not a lot. Do go out of my way to be light on carbs, dont use sugar in my coffee and fat free cream, lots of water, no soda, no snacks. I just feel frustrated because I am doing what I can at this time and I really want to see results. So If I continue will I see the results, will my body tighten will I loose the weight?

  • how much weight can I loose with not eating carbs? I am stuck, not loosing anymore wieght. I work a lot and...?

    I am active at my job, I am a waitress and walk constantly with out eating, I dont eat junk, but I am not loosing weight. I lost a lot and seem now to be stuck...so no carbs for a week, will it help, will it change my body to start loosing weight again, and who has done this and seen results. I have a 3 year old too, so fasting isn't an option because I get to irritated and tired and sleeping isn't an option either so it doesn't work with the things I have to do.

  • My body is tore up please help me.?

    I had a baby almost 3 years ago, when I was pregnant, I gained nearly 80 pounds, my stomach was streched out to the fullest, I was fat...I lost about 50 pounds, but I still look tore up. I am flabby, my skin is streched, I can't get rid of my stomach and my legs are toned, my arms are a little flabby but my stomach still makes me look like a mister potatoe head. I don't know what to do. I have been walking. I walk about 3 miles if not a little more in the morning, I have just started that, but dont see much of a difference. But also I take b vitamons I work a lot and dont have breaks so I dont eat and constantly moving for 7 hours, so I would think I would be loosing weight but I am not. I dont understand what I am doing wrong, i also want to know if there is any hope for my body to get back, my skin to look normal. Am I just doomed.

  • Colon Cleansing myself, Have questions.?

    got a product and consulted with a health person that they work for cleansing purposes, but does cleaning out your colon work? And how long does it take with pills to do it? How can you tell if it is working? and does it make you smell, I mean it makes since if it is getting the toxins out of your body that it would make you smell more....But will it really help me loose weight? and will you continue to loose weight after you stop taking it with your body cleaner? just any knowledge on colon cleansing will help. I can't afford the kind of colon cleanse from a doctor, so this is my only option by the way.

  • How can I loose weight on a busy schedule?

    I am a waitress, I work all the time, then I have a toddler so I am constantly doing something for someone else. I dont have time to work out, my son is very clingy, maybe because I am a working mom and he makes sure when I am there I am not out of his sight. Plus I am exhausted that I save all energy I actually have for the things I need to do. So with all the walking I do as a waitress is there a way to tone while doing it, get back the body I once had. I am probably close to my pre pregnancy weight. I gained 80 pounds lost like 65, but I am not tight anymore. What can I do.

  • Be a GREAT waitress!!!?

    I got a new job. I have been a waitress before, I started at all you can eat, then moved to a cocktail then moved to a more professional family waitress now I am in a nice restuarant, not high class, its cheddars. Kind of like olive garden type atmosphere. I dont know if I am a good waitress but I am not getting good tips here, 2nd day on the floor by the way. Also customers get the wrong empression of me, actually everywhere I have worked, they think I have an attitude, when actually very nervous and trying to jump hoops to please them. So what is it that I can do to excell, what is the secret that these other waiters have, where they are all just making boo koo amounts of money, coming there perky, leaving perky, they dont seem exhausted like I do, they seem to be able to do 10 things at once, and are all super cocky. I dont know I am trying, and want to be a waitress, but I am not getting it right for some reason. HELP

  • got a new job at a nice resturant, really nervous, NEED TIPS!!!!?

    I have been a server before, but usually at mostly alchohol saleing places. Food was served but not the priority. I am working at a restuarant now and am nervous that I wont be able to do it well. The treys are huge, the menu is huge, there is a final exam on the menu. You must be perfect it seems, I know if I mess up I will get fired. I really want to do well. What are good tips on being a good server, how do you respond to people at a place like that. How do you remember everything how do you be the person that the customers are looking for, and what are they looking for. Please any tips, espessially anyone who has been in this position. Or just people who have good advice for what they expect from a server.

  • Working mom, I have a question for working moms, or even people who had a working mom.?

    I have no choice anymore, I need to work, I can't rely on anyone, anymore. I am 20 w/ an 18 month old. When does this stop hurting moms? I notice changes in him since I have started working 2 months ago. I dont think he feels as close 2 me anymore, he seems always so frustrated, as am I. I wanted 2 cry because he said I love you for the first time the other day,just not to me. I did it on my own from the beginning, I stayed w/ him, I lived w/ my mom, and I could. I haven't gone out since I was pregnant, I was content w/ just us together. He is my whole world, he is the only person in the world I have really truely loved. The moment he was put in my arms I have not felt happiness and love like I did that moment. At first he wouldn't let me leave him, now he is okay, but god can anyone ease this pain in my heart, will he be okay? Will the bond still be there? Am I going to loose him in some way, will he always feel as if I abondoned him? Why do I feel envious that other people are seeing his first words I have been waiting for. I mean I have said I love you 20 million times a day since he came into this world just dreaming of the day to hear him say it. I want him just to be ok. Who has had a single working mom and tell me how you felt and how u feel now. And who is a working mom and can relate and tell me how they feel now and how it was worth it, or how it got a little easier? I can't relate to my life, my dad was in the military, I was in day care since I was 4 weeks old by my mom, who was bi polar, and left me to go party alone in the crib. I am not doing that to my son, but will he feel the pain I did with me working 30 hours a week?
