I feel troubled lately. I cannot focus in school and I just don't understand what is going on in some of my classes. I don't know if it's my intellgence, my confidence, my laziness, my anger, my thoughts that's getting in the way of my school work. Help!! I think this happens to me right after midterms. My grades are very good by the way. I'm a hard worker. I just lose complete focus and things that bothered me before, irritate me even more. I don't have stress. What's wrong with me? Should I give more detail? I always ask this question. Please try to give me some good anwers. It's like a mental block.

moved to a new place ,feeling a little depressed,secluded and lonley.Sometimes being out in the middle of nowhere my mind drifts and my dreams become weird,but then I think of other things and get busy and i don't feel that way .If you seclude yourself and never get out and dont socialize can you lose your mind? Or do you have to be prone to do that? When there were pows that were in seclusion for months and years at the time ,what were they focused on to keep them going? What can you focus on as to stay mentally healthy ?

I have had two doctors tell me that there is nothing wrong that they can find with my heart.I can't seem to get my mind off of it.I think about death all the time ,what if I die?I want to be like I used to be and not worry about death,Is there a trick to making your mind believe you don't care about your heart or care if you die?Is therer some links that anyone can put here that will take fear away from dying?I have alot of religous links so any that are maybe metaphysical or more phlosphy would be helful .I don't know why I just can't accept that my doctors say there is nothing wrong with me ,but just in case something comforting would be nice to read.

Do you think the U.S. is going to have a collapse of our civilization due to all the srtife between the races and various cultures not acccepting each other or assimilating into the mainstream culture?
Our finacial strength is not backed up by anything other than confidence and faith in the U. S. system and government, which is deteriorating. If our finacial system collapses, there will be great deteroiration of our economy and culture.

I have very what society would consider 'delusional thinking.' However, I feel my place of thought is not disorderly, it's just different and abstract. Sometimes my teacher will 'lose me' or won't understand what I am trying to say because of the complexity.

If a person is difficult to follow in terms of writing, what does it mean? I don't understand, although sometimes I do get overwhelmed with all of the thoughts I get. I just want to know what someone like a teacher would think of this, I hope they don't like me for this or something.

So I've realized that not only do I have a fear of commitment (I'm almost 21 years old, have been to 4 different colleges, can't stick w/a major... have been cheated on and can't trust people now because of it)...

But I also am very private. I had a friend in my room today using my computer and I just hated that she was on MY computer... that's MY personal thing, you know? I just don't feel comfortable with people touching my stuff, being in my room. I'm not like some creepy person with anything to hide haha. I just don't like it.

Any suggestions how I can like get over this? Or how I can get over the fear of commitment thing? I do have clinical depression and I am seeing a therapist and am on Wellbutrin... (wow, I'm pretty messed up, huh?)

Any help would definitely be appreciated :)

im sick of hearing people say adhd and other behavior issues, don't exist...BULL***T!
No, the bad behavior is not an illness
No, the tantrums are not an illness
But they are symptoms of other underlying conditions, like anxiety, depression, and other mental issues
children are not able to control these feelings they often are scared of what they are feeling and they don't understand what is happening and this manifests itself into this explosive, sometimes violent, and usually uncontrollable behavior
its not just bad parenting or a lack of discipline, these children genuinely do not know how to deal with these feelings and therefore they act out.....adults with these kinds of problems are able to handle themselves better in these situations, why do we feel sorry for adults suffering from these problems but we just put it down to bad parenting if a child is suffering

I moved to a different state and I feel like I’m losing all the people I'm closest to. Whereas before, I always knew about guys, life, just day-to-day everything. Stupid as this sounds, I was just looking at my best friends questions on here and noticed she has a bunch of posts about “someone” that may like her- I’ve never even heard of him. Which before would have been crazy, we always talked about everything together, including all our different guys. It seemed to me that before we would ask each other things, and now she is posting stuff on answers, yet I’ve never heard a word of it. I know this sounds rediculous, but it’s like we are all going to different colleges, and everyone is moving on- except me. I’m losing everyone...and learning that no one really gives a **** about me. And it sucks. Has this ever happened to you? (I’m not talking about exactly, more so in a sense of losing friends). And what do you think I should/can do about it?

I don't mind talking to people in person, sending e-mails, speaking in groups... why do I hate talking on the phone? It's like an impersonal alarm that goes off you have to answer, it doesn't really promote in-depth communication because you don't see the person, and you have to say something even if you don't want to say anything at all. Anyone else think the same way?

A father passing by his son's bedroom, was astonished to see the bed was
nicely made, and everything was picked up.

Then, he saw an envelope, propped up prominently on the pillow.

It was addressed, "Dad." With the worst premonition, he opened the
envelope and read the letter, with trembling hands.

"Dear, Dad. It is with great regret and sorrow that I'm writing you. I
had to elope with my new girlfriend, because I wanted to avoid a scene
with Mom and you.

I've been finding real passion with Stacy, and she is so nice, but I
knew you would not approve of her, because of all her piercings,
tattoos, her tight Motorcycle clothes, and because she is so much older
than I am.

But it's not only the passion, Dad. She's pregnant.

Stacy said that we will be very happy. She owns a trailer in the woods,
and has a stack of firewood for the whole winter. We share a dream of
having many more children.

Stacy has opened my eyes to the fact that marijuana doesn't, really hurt
anyone.

We'll be growing it for ourselves, and trading it with the other people
in the commune, for all the cocaine and ecstasy we want.

In the meantime, we'll pray that science will find a cure for AIDS, so
Stacy can get better. She sure deserves it!!

Don't worry Dad, I'm 15, and I know how to take care of myself.

Someday, I'm sure we'll be back to visit, so you can get to know your
many grandchildren.


Love, your son, John.



P.S. Dad, none of the above is true. I'm over at Tommy's house.

I just wanted to remind you that there are worse things in life than the
school report that's on my desk.

I love you! Call when it is safe for me to come home
