Caffeine addiction..HELP!?

I’m a 22 year old woman, and I’ve been through a lot. Just a few months ago I underwent a four month long treatment for a debilitating health condition called vaginismus, I moved back with my verbally abusive parents because I couldn’t afford a place to live while finishing college, and I was dumped by a guy I liked for a year and a half and lost my virginity to. After graduating college in December, I found a job as a preschool teacher, but then was fired two months later. Psychotherapy and Zoloft do help, but not a great deal. I’ve developed a raging addiction to coffee. I cannot start the day without drinking a few cups, and I drink it at night too, just so I can stay up as late as possible to put off the nightmares I have about my past. I also take it before I shower, clean my room, or study for GREs/apply to grad schools—basically before I do anything, otherwise I just don’t have the energy to do it. I cannot even drive anywhere without having coffee first. I just don’t function without it and I don't know what to do :( I'll have no money at all if I keep spending money on coffee like this :( I also can never eat because all the coffee just kills my appetite. My depression and anxiety aren't getting any better either :(

Why am I still having rectal pain after laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis?

Tell him you want other options. I've heard nothing but bad things about Lupron and heard that sometimes taking out an ovary can actually help a lot with severe endo. I have suffered from endo for years, but I am so sorry that yours is controlling your life this badly. Do everything you can to make it give you your life back! Change doctors 18 thousand times if you have to to find one that will fix what is wrong with you or at least make it manageable! I wish you the best of luck and I hope they can help you soon

Can I use fondant icing with the bag and tips?

I am doing a cake dummy for 4-H and it's due next week. Can or will the fondant go in the icing bags and through the tips. This is my first time decorating a cake like this and I'm not sure what to do. I know it's all last minute but my parents haven't went and gotten everything I need. If the fondant won't go through the tips will it look right to use fondant to cover the whole cake and for my rose and then royal icing for leaves and borders? Also, what should I use for writing happy birthday on my cake?

How hot is this Big Boy?

Is it true that Pharaohs in Egypt used to...uh..."seed" the Nile in ritual ceremonies?

Do you think they had an attendant help with that, or did they wield the royal scepter by themselves?

The Prince and Princess are now in Canada. Did you see the darling little boy that greeted the Royal couple?

High CPK followed by Normal - Lots of Chronic Pain... Thoughts?

Lots of inconsistent muscle and joint pain body wide over the past 3 years accompanied with headaches. Some muscle spasms and twitching. Had a high CPK test of 6944 followed by a normal CPK test of 218. Doctor thinks the first lab might have been a bad lab because I am young and fit. That said, pain and fatigue has been debilitating, but I am just not lazy and do a good job of masking it. What should I do?
