Being delusional (in other words, not being able to see the real world as it is, living in the world of fantasies) is a symptom of being sick. Many religious people believe in things like angels, Armageddon, devil, Noah's Arc, etc. Isn't it logical to conclude that they are sick?

There is a tracking device in the new national I.D. card, scheduled to come out in May 2008. You will need this ID to board Amtrack, planes, and use national banks. (It is for our safety) Will you accept the card, or fight against it?

(google it if you don't know what i'm talking about)

Will you seize the day? Will you make the most of it? Will you laugh? Will you smile? Will you feel great? Will you try something new? Will you open your mind? Will you help someone out? Will you make a difference? Do YOU HAVE what it TAKES??!?

I'm trying to come up with a topic for my psychology paper. I can think of certain topics easily (ex: Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Sexuality, Social Behavior, Eating Disorders, etc) but the problem i need something more specific.

Schizophrenia...what about schizophrenia?
Eating Disorders....what about eating disorders?
Sexuality, or maybe even sexuality and adolesence but what about sexuality and adolesnce??

For instance I heard of someone writing about Deja Vu: illusion vs. reality. Not necassarily a topic I would touch but it's specific.
Thats where I hit the wall, if anybody has any SPECIFIC topics or ideas i would greatly appreciate it.

Last night, i had a dream, I was in the middle of a park downtown.That man,I guess had saved me and brought me there somehow.But the man was gone, and now i was being chased by a group of men(vampires to be exact)i was cornered in an ally way and all the sudden i was on top of a roof,and then again stood that man, he looked to be older than me,in his twenties or so i guess?but he was a vampire too,but good i suppose?and i took a step back and fell off the building.The man(vampire)grabbed me and kept me from falling.Then I woke up and there he was, standing by my mirror which is by my door. i closed my eyes and opened them again and he wasn't there anymore.
I'm just courous because whenever I fall in my dreams, I try to save myself and i wake up, but this time this guy saved me.
I just want to know what this means..i've never remembered so much detail in a dream before.

PLEASE HELP!!

i am a teen and my family is sort of against having a boyfriend before college. also, i hav this wierd problem that i get attracted to guys in school who are atleast 4 yrs older than me. most people ask me if i have a crush on a guy in my grade or 1 year older. they don't expect me 2 go beyond that. if i want, i can easily get a boyfrnd who is 1 year older than me becoz several are after me. but, its no point as i don't get attracted to them. my crush just passed out of school. the older guys get attracted to older girls and i dont get attracted to guys who r fit 4 my age. one more thing, i have this strange desire to hav a relationship with someome that goes beyond friendship. i feel the need to have a romantic relationship. i keep imaginin how it wud be with somebody like that around. but, i dont persuade the feeling. wats wrong with me? is this natural? i keep tellin myself that i shud wait to grow older and becu more mature but its not workin Also, i luk 2-3 yrs older than my age

It doesn't make any sense to me. I guess it just proves that Women need to work harder among their own gender to show that striving for equality isn't a bad thing!

I have posted something similar to this but am still finding it hard to relax. My doctor refered me to the Mental Health Clinc because she cant tell if Im Just having anxiety Attacks, am depressed or bipolar becuase when i was put on Anti depressants and went into a deep depression with them, so she took me off them and referred me. I am still freaking out right now about going to the clinic tommorow .... I am worried about wasting their time becuase none of these run in my family and i dont know why either of them are happening. Can anybody let me know what i can expect to calm my mind??

Ok I am getting pretty sick of my friends telling me I'm Emo. Cause I am not, I hate that they sterotype everyone, and it's not like I shouldn't be friends with them because the majority of the kids at my school do it. I'm sick and tired of all this labeling and I want to be able to express myself freely, without hearing this crap. I guess I have some trace of being "emo" because I listen to all the music and wear eyeliner, but I don't wear all black, and whenever I wear anything black I get the comment, ohh you look emo today...

Sorry if it sounds like I'm nagging but I've kept it bottled up for a while.

I've read a lot of questions on here referring to girls kicking guys in the balls and it seems really popular among todays youth. When I was in hight school it wasn't like that, you didn't resort to kicking someone in balls unless it was very serious. Today so many people do it for fun and don't think about the consequences. Why do you think its ok to do this?
