Overthinking is ruining my life - to the point where I overthink myself out of living. Why do I do this, and what should I do? I do suffer from severe social phobia and depression and have been through severe abuse in my life.

You want an understanding of which decision will be best. For this, you need a level of insight into what each decision will lead to. Thinking this through, however, is futile.You never, ever know what something will be like until you experience it.Your decision will never be final.

Drinking at a drinking party for the first time?
Great job America! Way to raise a generation of teens that have NO CLUE how to drink. And don't take this the wrong way; because it's not your fault at all. I blame your parents. I'm going to give you some advice. Do you like to vomit? I don't. In fact, I really hate it. Borderline phobia. I don't like seeing other people vomit either. But you will; either puke yourself - or see your friends do it - and why? Because we don't teach our kids how to drink, and they've somehow got it in their heads that if "a little drunk = fun" then "a LOT drunk must = REAL FUN" and it's just not so. And I'm not anti-teen-drinking. I'm all for it. Drinking can be a blast. It's fun being drunk. But like just about any other thing you can care to think of - moderation is key. Hang out in the closest ER on any given Saturday night around 3 AM and watch them come in. Sometimes via ambulance, sometimes dropped at the door by "friends". And then the parents come, about 40 minutes later after they've gotten the call, all pale and scared to death. Good times, eh!? So just try to remember; drunk = fun. Wasted = vomit and really dumb decisions. Ever had your picture taken while passed out on a bathroom floor posted on the internet? Ever wonder if the rumors that you had sex with your best friend's brother while you were passed out are true? This is the kind of ridiculous drama that you just don't need right now, but happens all the time. So I was going to give you advice...here it comes. Keep mental count of your drinks. And while you're at it, open the bottles or cans, pour from the keg, whatever - yourself. I think the whole "roofies" thing is mainly an urban legend, but hey, your never know. Any more than a drink an hour is going to start creeping up on you. If you can keep it to one an hour, you'll be fine all night, but most people are going to be under pressure to drink more. 2 an hour is going to really get the jump on you though, and I'd really try to keep it under 6 for the night. So have fun. Don't worry too much, it's a party. But do be careful.
Is there any harm in not rinsing dish soap off when washing up?
OK I had to learn this the hard way . I gree with everything that dish soap is not harmful for the body because there is no long term affects. I'm very sensitive to everything and so is my child and my husband for some reason. I have been sick for four months straight but that's not uncommon for me to do my health situations. The other two very healthy and never sick less reason why…. Daughter started getting stomach issues like 3 to 4 weeks back were pretty consistent.I thought it had to do with germs at school stomach bug or something like that. It got to the point where she wouldn't eating and she was losing weight and mimicking some of the same behavior I was. I Soum this is motional response because she sees me not to eat all the time due to my health situations. Kids and people you're around have a tendency to mimic behaviors is normal so I went on. Did explain to her I do eat and I don't eat because I can't sometimes. I don't want her develop any eating issues down the road. But towards the end of the last two weeks she's constantly feeling ill and so was I. I thought myself a stomach bug doesn't last this long we should see a doctor. As I was about to call the doctor my husband mentioned also's been sick. He had no knowledge of me being sick or Leah being sick. He complains because it got to the point you can't keep nothing down and it's been like that for sometime now. Constantly stressed out so I thought it's emotional response that happens. Because we live in the abnormal situation with extreme Zaidi and sadness due to my illness Could be possible. But as he went on he explains everything he eats he throws up for the past couple days. That's when I realize there's something going on there's no way in hell we're all sick at the same time with the same issues with no knowledge meant of each other's complaints other than what I Knew. Everyone tells me everything and there's no real communication between the other parties. I hear good and bad, I'm the fixer-upper the problem solver. In result I found that there was a thin lining of soap on the dishes that you could barely see a residue. End up being the reason why everybody was sick. My point is yes not harmful to the body in the long run. You can temporarily get sick from it. Not address continues can cause serious problems in the long run. Specially if you cannot eat your body cannot get anything it needs which will cause issues in the future especially if continued for long periods of time.
Emetophobic plus flu season equals living hell. Help?!?
Okay I am emetophobic , which is the fear of vomiting and now that flu season is coming around and so many people at my high school are getting sick, I am literally fearing every day wondering if I'm next. It's not even so much getting the flu, but getting the flu at school is my worst nightmare, almost. Anyway, I always have my guard up. A friend of mine sneezes I make her stay away from me. If someone feels sick and asks for a nurse's pass, I feel hot and practically have a panic attack. Even once at this little coffee shop by my school. It was after exams, and I was starving so me and my friends ordered a bunch of stuff. But suddenly my stomach felt weird, and I was hyperventilating yelling at her to "take the food away!" and I shoved it at her and ran out. So yeah, it's pretty bad. I never eat food that I touch, so if i eat a fry i don't eat the little tip that I hold. I hold my breath when I walk past the nurses office. But I fear getting the flu. How can I make it through school, every day worrying about how I feel. I always feel on edge. I'm failing gym because I'm afraid running or anything will make me feel nauseous so I never participate. I don't know what to do, this fear is controlling my life. Please offer some words of advice. I'm sixteen btw.
I tried losing my virginity many times but I back away every single time because I'm scared of the pain. Can I take sleeping pills? Do you have any better way to lose virginity pain free?
No, don’t use pills for it. That can be very VERY bad. It leaves you vulnerable to all kinds of abuse.There are three key things when it comes to reducing any pain or discomfort you might feel while losing your virginity:Arousal.Make sure you’re fully aroused. Get yourself as wet and horny as you can possibly be. This will give lubrication which makes it easily for the penis to slide in and out without causing pain. If you’re worried you’re not wet enough, you can get other lubricants to help.Relaxation.Make sure you’re as calm and relaxed as possible. This will help stop your muscles tensing up, meaning you won’t be so tight, and it’ll be easier for the penis to enter your vagina without causing pain.Take Control.A lot of the time the pain is caused by the guy being too rough or going too fast or too deep. Try having sex with you on top. This will allow you to control how fast and rough it is, and how deep your boyfriend’s penis enters you. You’ll be able to slow down or stop if and when you need to, or go faster and harder if you want to. As a bonus, it will also leave your boyfriend’s hands free so that he can play with your nipples and clitoris and help you orgasm, which will also help reduce any pain or discomfort.As a final point, it’s worth pointing out that losing your virginity is not always painful. For a lot of women it doesn’t hurt at all. So you might be worrying about nothing. Still, you are worried, but if you follow the advice in this answer you shouldn’t feel much pain at all, and it makes it easy for you to stop if you do.Good luck, and enjoy.
