My boss has a shitty life and she is jealous of mine. She is controlling and crazy! She is making me miserable and I wish there was some way to get her off my back. We work alone in our department and the only person "over" her would definately side with her. I don't think I could find another job around here that pays so well (my hubby in unemployed) so I really can't just quit. I can't really talk it out with her because she is an emotional wreck...lately she has been unbearable...a total NAZI about everything! What do I do!?

I am doing a seminar on alcoholism in relation to the book Ellen Foster. The book is about this girl, Ellen, and her father is an alcoholic. He abuses her and does other horrible things, and eventually overdoses on alcohol and dies. What questions could I ask the class to keep them participating in a discussion relating to alcoholism? Anything would be greatly appreciated! THANKYOU!

i am depressed, lonely with no real friends, and feeling really low at the moment in life. Ive had alot of downfalls in 2007 and the latest one is just breaking up with my ex girlfriend, it was rather complicated so i wouldnt like to go into detail. But when i hear shes going to a party etc. i suffer from the happiness she will get. And its been like this with all exs. I know a few friends who i know seem happy in life and comparing myself to them. I feel jealous and envy their happiness. Honestly i cant remember the last time i was really happy. Lifes been a real struggle for me and ive never been as happy as i want. I want to stop suffering from other peoples happiness because it seems to affect my way of life.

Having just bought the computer game Brain Age, I find myself wondering if there is any scientific evidence if games like bingo or Scrabble help activate the brains of players.

I'm always hesitant to open up to others. I have very few close friends even tho I'm an incredibly compassionate person and try to reach out in my own quiet way. Starting to feel as if I don't belong and that I just don't fit in. I'm soft-spoken and remain quiet when in a large group and don't like when all attention is on me because I start to get flustered and blush. I'm better when it's one-on-one. In a group setting, I often feel unheard and overlooked if everyone's talking. So I regress. I wish I could totally be myself around others and not have things affect me so deeply. Is there anything positive about being shy, soft-spoken and sensitive?

I have been having thoughts over the past year that people are hiding from me that I am sick, or dying, even though I feel fine generally. Also, I am a hypochondriac. I get more anxious at night, and sometimes I will stay up all night because I keep having the thoughts over and over that people are hiding something they know about me. When I have an appointment with a doctor, or talk with a family member, I seem to read a lot into what they are saying, and I believe they mean other things, even though I know this is irrational. Am I going crazy or something? I just can't shake the thoughts out of my head. When my therapist talked about setting a goal, I was thinking that she wanted me to have a goal because I was dying, even though I know this was irrational to think.
Should I tell my psychiatrist my thoughts? I don't know if I should because he seems to be a little judgemental. He might think I am delusional. But are my thoughts neurotic or psychotic or what?

You may have difficulties communicating, forming relationships & find it hard to make sense of the world. It could just very slightly affect you in some areas of life, or it may affect you more severely.

I know this isnt a mental health question, but i think the answers the people in this section are more sound and intelligent. my best friend broke up with her longest bf of 2 years about 3 months ago. she was really sad and it hit her badly, which is how anyone would be in that situation. we just got into college (we are 16). i noticed this really hot guy and we had a lot of eye contact, and i thought maybe something would happen. he would approach me, but i realised whenever he did he would be a little too touchy feely (put his hand around my waist, carress my shoulder etc). i also heard rumours that he was trying to get with other girls, and that many other girls were interested in him. so i lost interest, because a player isnt my type of guy. then my best friend phones me and says she likes him and he tried to kiss her. i told her that he was slightly flirtatious and i didnt think he had the right interests. she got mad at me and ignored me, and i didn;t know what to do becayse i knew she wouldnt tell me about anything else that happened with him if i was pesmistic. so i shunned my previous feelings aside,

i've been ok for a few days but im guilty again
a few years ago, i said f**king or part of the f word and MIGHT have said jesus right after in my mind, can't remember well though
what IF i said f**king jesus out loud? is this bad?
i also had sexual thought about jesus and god
i've been ok, but i started to think about this again
today, i recalled that i tried to say it whenever my mouth was open like eating and it felt like i was saying it just in my head when i was eating
there're certain things that my brain won't let go of and it distinguishes and i feel depressed for guilt then on, such as this case
is this chemical imbalance?
could there be anyone saying the whole thing out loud with intention and not being guilty at all?
because i did it unintentionally and still i feel that im the only one who might have said this
should i pray for forgiveness
so whenever i start to feel guilty, should i slap myself?
i really don't understand why i have these kind of problems whe

i make points of lists to assure that i don't have to be guilty, but i try to not do that because it will get me in deeper and deeper and finally unable to climb back out
i need to have a reason why i don't need to pray to be able to do anything properly or else i'll be always guilty of it
so should i forget about it all in a bunch?
does my christmas sound fascinating enough, it sure does, is this another mental problem to conquer?

is praying a compulsion that i don't have to do in this case?
obviously this is a compulsion and i think about it all the time, SO SHOULD I FORGET ABOUT IT WHENEVER I THINK ABOUT IT WELL I THINK ABOUT IT ALMOST ALL THE TIME BUT SHOULD I TELL MYSELF TO GET OUT OF THE HOLE?

I had depression for 3 years from 2001-2004. After 7 years I'm getting ready to tell some of my close friends. Do you think they will be mad that I didn't tell them? I didn't want them to feel sorry for me because I was "sick".
