Losing Happiness Fast For starters, I do cross country a very physically demanding sport, but recently I have felt worse later on in the day. Here's what happened today, I ran at 10:30 5 miles then did a rough core workout. Once I got home I decided to eat and watch some tv considering it's summer I don't have much else to do. But after watching tv and computer for roughly two hours my mood changed drastically from very happy to crappy and sort of depressed. Is there a reason why screens makes me feel depressed after a couple hours of exposure? Thank you if you can help!

My Serotonin Levels Are Very Low, How Can I Raise Them? First of all, I have been sick the past couple days and I haven't exercised since Friday and that was only about a mile and a half run... I have been very down and I keep thinking negative thoughts. I live in Seattle where it is barely ever sunny so I am not getting my vitamin D that raises Serotonin levels. I plan on running in 15 minutes, but I am wondering how far/hard I should push myself. I have a minor stomach ache and my head feels a little heavy and groggy, But I am sick of feeling depressed. Is it ok if I push myself a little? I don't have a cough/lung problems or stuffy nose. Anyways, advice?

How to Be Sure I Dream Tonight? Well my awesome LA teacher assigned us a great homework assignment tonight, to dream and record your dream so we can talk about it tomorrow in class. I don't know where he's going with this but I want to contribute to the class for this one! Anyways, I heard we should have paper and a pencil at our beds so we can record the dream so we don't forget it by morning, and he told us to convince ourselves that we are going to dream tonight. Someone said that if you wake up in the middle of the night and fall back asleep you will most likely dream that way, which is interesting because that's what happened to me last night and lately I've been waking up at 12:30-12:35 exactly every night anyway with anxiety. But if

Why Does Everyone Assume VegetariansVegans Why Does Everyone Assume Vegetarians/Vegans don't eat meat because they care a lot about animals, then they go on to say, "Well blah blah your clothing is made from animals parts." I see this everywhere, in the media too and it bothers me so much. I myself am Vegan and originally I became this way for my health, not because I didn't want to harm animals to the extent I wouldn't eat them. I guess I'm just ranting, but in the end I know I am doing the right thing.

Tylenol is Really Messing With My Brain and I'm Scared I took two ultra-strength tylenol's a little while ago for my headache because I'm sick and now I feel real fidgety, scared, I'm really ocd now, and I keep thinking bad thoughts. I am no longer tired which I was hoping for because I need sleep. I believe the drug is called acetaminophen or something like that. My dad keeps telling me to relax but I'm just not about to, I'm really anxious. What should I do? I want to get this tylenol out of my system fast. Please give me advice or something, I am scared.

Might I Have Anemia? - Iron Deficiency Not that basil is all experts but maybe a few experienced people. Well in the past few months I have been more tired than usual and I've had minor brain fog, but more recently it has gotten much worse and I feel like I'm two hours ahead in how tired I am, ex: it is 8:30 feels like it's 10:30, well how it use to be. And I wake up in the middle of the night sometimes really lost and confused which I have had before but less then once a month, usually when I sleep in a different place than my home. I think I am also sick with a cold right now but it is not fun, I have been feeling depressed and have a lot of anxiety and it doesn't help that I have a huge homework/project load to do. I haven't been able to

Gaming Laptop Options? I'm looking for a decent gaming laptop that won't cost me more than $1,500 and I've been to stores like Sony and best buy but they just don't have anything with quality. I looked at this one: but then it has issues of its own, such as no back-lit keyboard. I've been thinking of getting a Asus because they seem to make pretty good ones, my only concern is how bulky they may be because I'm looking for a 16-17". Any suggestions would be appreciated Thank you.

Can Someone Give Me A Run-Down Of The Fellowship of the Ring I Have read the first 70 pages, and I have to do something called a "book talk" with my crappy Biology teacher after school tomorrow. I reviewed sparknotes a bit but that's a ton of reading still lol. I don't read books often, I read magazines and the newspaper. Anyway, if you can tell me the summary of the book that diversifies it from the movie that would help great, and wow I spelled diversify right on my first try. Thank you!
