I have no idea what happened but yesterday evening I started feeling some pain in my neck, just like when you sleep weirdly or you twist it, you know?

Then I went for a walk and after a while everything started hurting, my neck and my upper back, particularly my shoulders.

When I got back home I tried stretching and things but it really hurt! I didn't think much of it, I thought I would just sleep it off!

However when I tried going to bed, it seemed like all my muscles just seized up. No position I tried to sleep in was at all comfortable and I've been waking up every few hours.

Just now it was a struggle even sitting up!! :D this may sound melodramatic but what the heck did I do?!

Like every time I move there is this twinge in my neck and all of my upper back muscles hurt to move. Even typing this hurts!!

And now I'm slightly panicking :D what do I do! I was going to have a hot shower in a minute to try and relax it.

This is so weird!! I've never had anything like this before! D:

How should I sit/lie? Should I just give up on sleeping and move around? Should I stretch it?

Please help!

Hello!

I'm so stressed out!

I want to find a beautiful dress to wear to prom in a month, but I don't know where to look.

I'm not ugly, but I'm also not very pretty and I don't have a perfectly flat stomach and lovely long legs, so lots of the dresses I have found online would not be suitable.

I also don't want a dress that is too revealing!

Where do I look for a dress that is not too expensive? I can go up to 100 pounds but I don't have any more money than that.

I want this to be a memorable occasion, and I don't want to mess it up by being the only girl wearing something that doesn't suit her.

Btw I'm 18, I'm 1.70 cm and I have reddish hair, if that's any help :D

Thanks so much if you have any suggestions.

Not that I'm planning to (OBVIOUSLY) but I was just wondering whether it would have the same effect as drinking it?

I am a vegetarian, and have been for one and a half years approximately. Before that I was vegan for a year and I plan to switch to a vegan diet again later on this year when I go to university.

However, I have been having a little trouble with my diet lately. I find I have been craving meat - not red meat, I had my iron checked and it was fine - but meat such as chicken.

I don't want to ignore my body's signals, and if I was seriously missing something vital I might even consider trying to eat a tiny bit of meat again.

I'm not sure if these are genuine cravings, or if it's just a 'psychological' craving...

I don't know what to do! :D

I really really don't want to eat meat, but of course I would give it a go if I am damaging my health....

Anyways, any advice, help, or suggestions are greatly appreciated :) thank you!

Hello.

How can I start actually LIKING to eat fruit? I hate almost every single kind of fruit, except the super sweet ones such as melons, or pineapples (and that's about it!)

But I cannot stand to eat any other kind of healthy fruit. Trust me, I have tried.

I love eating vegetables, so that's not a problem.

How can I change this? I want to be healthy, and have my 5 a day, but I can't bring myself to eat the fruit I dislike so much.

Thanks for any tips!!

P.S. I'm 17, and female, if that makes any difference.

Hello,

I feel quite sick and I'm running a temperature, and I have a headache.

However, I cannot afford to be ill now as I have a ton of schoolwork to do before tomorrow, and before we break up for christmas.

I've been taking it easy, but I have to get these essays and this research done

How do I get down my temperature quickly?

Thank you

I got my cartilage pierced today

Unforunately I have no clue how to clean it. There is so much conflicting evidence.

They didn't sell a normal saline solution in boots, and I don't have any sea salt

Can I use the saline solution meant for contact lenses?

It's by wilko and these are the ingredients:

'an isotonic buffered aqueous saline solution containing Sodium chloride 0.75%'

I want to clean it before I go to bed tonight but I don't know what to do!

Thanks

Hello,

I am travelling from Bradford-on-Avon to Stanstead airport.

I change trains at Bath Spa.

From Bath Spa I then catch a train to London.

My question is this:

am I allowed to leave the Bath Spa train station whilst waiting for the train to London,

and walk around in Bath for a while and then come back

or do I have to remain on the train station until my train comes.

I paid for these tickets in advance and collected them from the ticket machine yesterday.

Thank you

P.S. To get in and out of the Bath Spa train station you have to feed your ticket through the barrier, so I can't just leave

Hello

I'm 17, and I'm applying for university

Everything's done, I just need to decide whether I should indicate that I have depression

I'm not on medication, and although it's been difficult, I don't think it has affected my exams/results too much...

I just don't know, I'm really upset because of this, because if I don't tell them then I feel like a fraud, but if I do put it down and don't get a place I'll always wonder

I'm also not receiving help of any kind at all, does that make a difference??

Does anybody have experience with this?

Thank you

So I'm babysitting at the moment and I can't get the tv to work

It's a Toshiba tv and they have a sky remote control

However when I switch it on there is merely a blue screen

It says hdmi4 in the top left corner, is that of significance?

I've tried pressing the sky button, the tv button, and switching it on with the button on the machine itself

Please help, I'm so bored :D

I've got some baked potatoes in the oven atm

2x veggie quarterpounder burger in the freezer and some carrots in the fridge.

My dinner for two people tonight seems a bit dry...what's inexpensive that I can add to this?

I need to get TO Melksham FROM Trowbridge (in the UK)

I'm thoroughly confused by the bus time tables I've found online

Can somebody explain to me where I can catch a bus - as in, where the bus stop is exactly and when the bus leaves?

I need to get there pretty early in the morning (I need to be there by twenty past nine at the latest)

There are also no trains, as far as I can see.

The only other option is a taxi - but aren't they super expensive?

Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated.

It's on a weekday, not at the weekend by the way.

Thanks

Tomorrow I will be talking about my depression with a GP.

Last time I went I felt very uncomfortable, couldn't get the words out right and felt incredibly awkward and vulnerable.

I didn't feel like they were taking me seriously and like I was taking up their time for trivial matters, and that there wasn't really anything wrong with me.

The woman who was "treating" me clearly didn't think I was in great need, so she put me on a waiting list for some form of therapy "because it's not serious enough for medication, dear"

I never said I wanted medication, all I wanted was help. I didn't get it.

A year later now, and it has got a lot worse. In this time I started self harming, and I feel like crap all the time. My moods are low, my self-esteem is low. I cannot deal with this by myself anymore, it's a chore to even get into school in the mornings and my attendance is horrible.

I made the decision to make another appointment at the same practise, with a different doctor.

Is there any advice that anybody has for me about how to go about it this time?

All I want is for them to take me seriously. I want to get across how bad I feel and how I want to get better, but can't do it on my own.

I'm extremely scared.

Is there anything I can do to prepare for this visit?

I don't want it to sound like I learned all the symptoms off by heart, just to get attention or whatever.

Please, please help me.

Any tips or stories of similar experiences are GREATLY appreciated.

Thank you!!!

P.S. I live in the UK

P.P.S. I am 17 years old, currently doing A-Levels

Opposition to the government - Russia 1855?

I'm researching some context for my A-Level History essay

Can anybody help me find some good source to find out about opposition (if there was any? to what extent was there and how successful was it?) to 'tsardom' in Russia in 1855.

Any knowledge, or any websites or books would be extremenly helpful, thank you.

I am doing a presentation on American Foreign Policy in a couple of days.

The building of the Panama Canal is one of the topics I will be talking about.

It says in my textbook that a French Company started building the Canal, that the work stalled due to financial mismanagement 8 years later and the rights were taken over by an American Company.

My questions is this - why would the French start building it? Isn't it mainly in American interest to build it (trade etc.)?

And who's idea was it in the first place?

Roosevelt later said that it was one of the most important events in foreign affairs.

So how come it wasn't an American company right from the beginning?

Please help me, I'm confused and I don't want to provide my classmates with wrong information.

Thank you!

So my host parents are out for the day (it was an emergency) and they asked me to feed their cat.

However, I have absolutely no clue how much you should feed a cat and how many times a day?

I found a packet of those dry crunchie things and I found a can of something with jelly in it, in the fridge. Should I feed her both or just one of those?

And roughly how much? I don't want to starve/overfeed her, even if it is just one day.

Does anybody know? Any help greatly appreciated. :)

P.S. She's an old cat, on the packet of crunchie things it says "senior" Does that make any difference?
