Does any adult out there still have the imagination of a child? If you do, then I think you're blessed. Do you have any tips for enhancing one's imagination?

When I was young I was appalled by the statement. But I believe now that what he was saying was that history, as it is written, is bunk.

I was diagosed bi-polar and have been on lithium and lamictal for years. I recently (12 days ago) stopped taking both of them. I've been feeling a little bit depressed, but altogether not that bad. Is there anyone out there who has been on these drugs and stopped taking them? Any advice?

Why do career women buy into the false hope that they can have it all?

Do they really think that their children are going to grow up as close to them if they are raised in daycares by strangers as if they are raised by one of their own parents?

Are they blinded by ambition and materialism in their youth and believe in the false premise that they can have it all?

I asked this same question some time ago but the reason I'm asking it again is that I think I found the answer, or at least part of it.

My friend suggested that I might feel as though I could help them sort it out - like a misguided sort of care. I didn't say anything at first but after some consideration I realised he might be right. I think I have had those sort of feelings when dealing with these women - like I can see they've got emotional problems but I feel like I can help them.

The usual result, however, is that I end up being part of their problem and the very thing that motivated me - my sense of concern for them - constitutes the hold they have over me and becomes a tool of their manipulation.

I don't know why I engage in this behaviour. It's quite possible that I will no longer do so now I see it more clearly.

I would still be very interested to hear what you guys have to say as this has been a major issue in my life.

I feel like I don't have the right to do anything or be anything or achieve anything or be happy or experience pleasure or enjoy life. And its all because of the religious teachings that I was exposed to in Catholicism. I gave it up but I still feel guilty just for existing. I am not a murderer or rapist or anything horrible. It's just been drilled into me, all this unearned guilt from religion and I can't shake it off. I'm always holding myself back from doing things and sabotaging my own success, I started doing bad in school so I woouldn't be "sinful" and I intentionally didn't try hard in track and field because I don't feel like I have the right to exist since I'm supposedly so "sinful" and I'm suppposed to deny myself or else I'll go to hell. I'm not doing this in order to explain away inadequacies either. How do I get over these thoughts? Life is terrible and I see no point in going on existing if its going to be a joyless existence.

I had a dream that i had a 12 year old son and we decided to race each other in an olympic sized pool. We dove in at opp sides (width wise), but when i dove in i dove in deep and realized the pool was something like 70 feet deep. When i reached the bottom I realized everything was getting darker. I decided to keep swimming ot the other side so I could eventually surface but I calculated wrong and I was beginning to feel like I had no air left at all. I looked up to see if I could see my son but he wasn't in the pool any longer. Instead was a Cretaceous sized Shark swimming at the surface. I tried to surface at the moment iwih extreme fear and panic/desperation in my body, but after rising 10 ft my lungs gave out and I drowned. It was so disturbing it woke me up immediately and i was gasping for breath with my heart beating extremely fast. I just got out of a relationhsip with a boyfriend i'm still in love with and I was with him for over a year.

Ok, I realize there are people who are Catholic. I am not Catholic, but I do not go around hunting for Catholics and giving them a hard time. I only do that defensively, so its not hunting. Observe a dramatization:
Jack: I love Jesus! He's my savior! He's the king of kings!
Tom: Rejoice! Jesus is the way!
Susan: Jesus is awsome! Jesus is my best friend! Rejoice!
Tom: Praise Jesus! Amen!
Jack: Jesus, you are my light! Oh heavenly Jesus!
Susan: Show me the way to your kingdom!
Tom: Sing his praises! Lift me up, higher and higher!
Jack: Almighty Jesus, you are the one!
Tom: Who is not afraid to say Jesus is truly the divine savior?
Susan: I'm not! I love Jesus with all my heart!
Jack: Jesus is my savior!

This is not as exagerrated as it may seem. They go on like this and then they look for someone who's not as openly fanatical and maniacal about god and they condemn them to hell. Seriously, why are they so insistent on condemning and letting you know about their faith?

Every once in a while, I'll catch sight of myself in a mirror, or hear myself talking, and for a few seconds, be surprised/baffled by the image/sound - almost a complete lack of recognition. Given my surprise, I usually stop what I'm saying and test out my voice a bit, or inspect my hands or body, because the familiarity isn't there. It doesn't seem to happen at any particular time (happiness, stress.)

I can say with some certainty that I don't know exactly who I am in life, but I hardly think that merits sometimes forgetting entirely. ANY insight would be hugely appreciated. I sound like an a**hole.

***edit: I appreciate the concern, but I'm not depressed (not even sad, really) and unfortunately not on drugs either. lol.

No one ever seems to get the chance to brag about themselves and get away with it without sounding like a snob. So here it goes. I wanna know what you are most proud about yourself, and you can be as conceited as you'd like =)

As for me...

I played water polo for 7 years. In college, i was most offensive player, all-conference, all-southern californian, and all-american. I also received an "all-star" honor in an international tournament in Canada. Not to mention that i was in the top 3 of all the stats, goals, steals, assists, drawn ejections on my team.

Ok, how about you??
I'd like to know!

I was wondering if there was a reason that males and females carry their books differently. When you answer, please include the following:

1. Male or Female
2. Stage of schooling (elementry, middle, high, college)
3. Explain how you carry books.
4. Explain why.

Thank you for answering my question. Please do not give me personal data. I am doing this survey for a sociology class, so please be honest.
