I can be really gullible sometimes, very paranoid and untrusting of others, and often worry about the worst thing that could possibly happen. When people at work joke around and I don't know they're joking, they say I take things too seriously. Tonight they played a prank on me and I was freaking out because I thought I was going to get fired. Even though I found out it was a joke, I still have a really nervous feeling and its several hours later. My boyfriend says sometimes you just need to laugh things off. I'm not really uptight, but I get stressed out easily, and the people I work with know that, but they mess around with me anyway. How can I be more relaxed and carefree about what people do or say?

I am omnipotent. All powerful, know everything. For ten points, tell me to do something that I can not do.

I need to stop feeling bad about a lost friendship with my neighbours. We see each other in the hallways and in the underground and we both don't talk. I say "hI" to their child and she smiles , but they don't talk to me. I apologized to them and they told me the would be taking out a lawsuit against me. I told them I would countersue. No lawsuit came. We just don't speak to each other. They claim I am wrong and that is it!!!
Ignoring them is hard for me. I park in the same area as they do and we see each other...2 times this week now. I am sorry it has to be like this and want to make it better , but how???? They want money from me and I will not pay them...that is extortion. They came it is not.
Strange way of doing business. Most people forgive and forget. What now?????

I had the weirdest dream last night and I want to know what it may represent? Ok...well one of my friends from school loved me, even though he had a girlfriend. In the dream I seemed unsure whether we had sex, which is weird because I am a virgin. I was also worried that he was cheating on his girlfriend. He loves his girlfriend like so much and he talks about her all the time. I'm not one bit jealous of her or anything, because I've never had feelings for him, its just strange I would have this dream.

Every time I have to give a speech or presentation, my mind goes blank and I have trouble trying to think clearly. It might take me a while to remember something. How can I get my thoughts together so that my mind isn't so foggy during speeches?

The other day I was giving a presentaion in Lit and its like so easy, you just ask the class questions on the story. Anyway so im all convincing myself that I dont freakin need to get all worried. But I did feel nervous, which I accepted relunctantly. When I presented it, my voice shook a bit, not major like before but it still was making me self-conscious because I wanted to keep it under control. But as I was standing up there in front of the whole class, I realized something. Standing in front of everyone was easy and asking them whatever questions was easy and it felt like it would be easy if I was talking my heart out to them at that moment(and yet I couldnt because my voice would still shake). As I was thinking all this, still my voice shook. I realized then that I don't have a fear of public speaking or anything like that, I have a fear of nervousness. I know I am capable of presenting anything and talking smoothly (in the begginning of the year I gave an awesome debate). Yet when I feel that adrenaline kick I get nervous about my nerves. The only thing I hate now about presenting is my shaky voice. I used to not get it. I think because of one bad experience now it keeps popping up. Can anyone help me break free from this? I seriously feel like its screwing up my life. One time I just went up to the teacher to ask something and my voice shook so crazy like ever in my whole life. That was one of my most humiliating moments. Of course thats rare but that teacher I felt very attracted to and i wanted to impress her or something and I was nervous but I thought I was calm but apparently I wasnt. someone help me. Ive tried just accepting my nervousness, it still doesnt work that mindfulness or whatever. I've tried abdominal breathing but I think it makes me more nervous, I dont know it may be psychological. I just want it to go AWAY!!!! holy crap i wrote so much

From the moment your concieved your dying. You have to grow to grow old so when your growing even though you dont look like your dying you actually are. Life is a ticking time bomb and all our clocks are set to go off at different times in our lives. One persons timer may run out when their 104 where as another persons may run out when their only 1 hour old, some before that. whats the point in being born only to die? and please dont tell me reproduction because if a life was made to live forever then we wouldnt have to reproduce would we. Simple. Has anyone got the answer? smarties dont i checked.

I play basketball on my middle school team. Whenever I get into the game, I am extremely scared to screw up. I am an extremely good player but I just cant seem to do what I usually do. As soon as I get the ball I have to pass to ensure I dont make a mistake. I read this quote softly to myself at games before I go in :
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same."
And It doesnt work. PLEASE HELLP

I was very close friends with a girl about a year or two ago. We did the usual low key drugs and drank together. We were best friends before that even started. I tryed very hard to not even let her smoke pot because I knew she had such an addictive personality. I have never been closer with anyone in my life than I was with her. Long story short she got involved with a guy and he warped her and convinced her that I was a loser. I never forgave her and we are acquantices now, with deep wounds. I am drugfree now. I still care about her very deeply. She became a pothead. I found out today that she is using heroin. She is not even 17 years old. This is not the country it is washington DC. Her father died about 2 years ago and her mother gave up trying to protect her a long time before that. I was the last person to find out and I guarantee that I will be the first if not only person to act. Does anyone have any advice? Take into account I talk to her about once every 6 months very briefly.

Hey, well the question says it all. I am 16 and I don't really anything on a daily basis and have no sense of what to do. I can't really think on my own and depend on others too much. I forget about myself and others all the time, and I am as smart as about a 7 or 8 year old and I am being for real. I sit around all day doing nothing. Sometimes I wish their were someone here to get on my *** and tell me what to do. But instead I just sit here with nothing to do, I have been this way my WHOLE life. I am like a bum, Can someone give me some suggestions. What do you think I should do?

I have been seeing a therapist for about a year. I am not really sure if its working or having any affect. I think it might actually be having a negative affect. I have felt more insecure and vulnerable/crazy at times. Has anyone else had this experience? Do you just have opinions on therapy effectiveness in general? For me the only thing I have found beneficial about it is burdening a stranger instead of friends with my problems.

I have this burning hatred against myself. The only reason why I haven't killed myself in a horrible fashion is that my bloody corpse (formed by my arts of death-giving) would give some detective a few nightmares. The only person I want to hurt is me, noone else.

Thing is, I look at this hunk of flesh that I'm wearing and it just seems so useless and worthless. It can't do anything. When I try to do good, I just mess it up and end up ruining someone's day. Then I think about all the food I eat and how it could be going to some little kid with a whole lot of potential in some orphanage somewhere and it makes me want to destroy my body immediately so that the basic resources can be re-directed.

What of this? Should I keep going or end it now?
