Please let me clarify- why is it that mentally ill people, when and if they 'lose control', never go crazy and do something either positive or neutral?

It seems like whenever someone becomes "insane" they invariably commit crimes, such as murder, rape, assault, etc. Is this a true statement, or is this simply the result of what the media chooses to show the masses? "No news is good news" it has been said. So has anyone who is either mentally ill or "normal" (whatever that means) ever lost control and actually done something positive in order to get attention?

If they wish to get attention (people like the V Tech murderer), why would people like that never elect to do something positive or beneficial to humankind? For example, instead of slaughtering innocent people, how about helping the homeless find jobs? Or, caring for people who are elderly?

Am I just being idealistic and naive here?

Why do people lose control and always do harmful things, rather than helpful things

They show up at your door right when you are sitting down to dinner or sleeping in on saturdays, they preach at your local grocery store, they go to our colleges, they work with you and in passing mention the word of christ, where to you draw the line. If you are not religious how do you politely tell them to go screw themselves. If you are religious, why would you try to force someone into something that it is obvious that they have already made up their mind on??

this happened to me some time ago. the dream was so recurrent that it really puzzled me and tried to memorise some bits of the words i was saying to be able to identify that language when awake. it sounded like no existing language though. i suppose.

have you ever had a similar dream ?

"To have a bad future is better than having no future."

This quote actually scares me. I am terrified of the idea of my life's story ending at one point, and that I would be out of the picture. I am not talking about death. I am talking about being defeated. Broken. Humiliated.

The notion of having hope with the future, and that it may be better than today, is what keeps me going. But is it possible that someone would accept going to a bad future to having no future at all? Please explain your thoughts in detail about this.

And yes, there were moments where I lost my will to even try to work for a future. It wasn't suicide in my mind. It was just stepping aside and letting life have its way with me.

I never wanna go back to that place again.

For example, there was a Popeye cartoon where, for some reson, he was wrestling with alligators. He would flip them over and rub their bellies, and they would stop fighting. Anything that calm you like that? For me it's classical music. I can't help but be calm when I hear it.

My family is on the verge of being homeless. My mother, who lives in a large house, and is financially secure, offers no assistance. Yet she has the gall to pretend to care about us. The act is maintained in order to avoid censure.

My father's death left her free to hoard money in the bank, while depriving us during our childhood.

Understand, I do not use drugs, smoke, drink, or sleep around. I am a single, disabled mother, struggling to raise two young children. Without subsidized housing, our income is inadequate.

When asked to assist in the past (3 times in 43 years) she immediately donned her victim cloak and began bleeting, pathetically, about her own financial distress. She and I are estranged because of this. Though I have not denied access to the children.

Rather than enter a shelter, I will approach her, in writing, a final time. I will request a deposit for permanent, affordable housing. ($2,500-$3,000) What is the best method of getting it?

I don't know why it is so much fun. Mostly I do it online where there is no real threat of danger, but sometimes you just need to do it! You need to see how far you can go and still pull a person back to you. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Do you think that intelligent, rational people can self-diagnose?
Have you ever done it?

I feel like doctors all bring their own baggage to the table (especially therapists and psychologists) and that sometimes this gets in the way of correctly diagnosing a condition.

Ever have any experience like this???

Why would someone believe in science?

I understand that science is important for understanding how things like electronics and medicine work, but why do people believe science can answer their deep questions of life? Doesn't everyone want to be loved and accepted, have good things and be happy? I don't think science can do that for us. Your thoughts?

I know this man who I have been crushing since last year. I knew from the moment I met him that he was unique by just the way he looked at me. I see him at my college every week or so and he has complimented me on wearing certain colors to being intelligent. The way he looks at me suggests that he enjoys looking at me. But I just could be nervous when I am around him. Can anyone give me a clear example of what details I could look for in his face to give me more of an idea of what he maybe thinking and or feeling>? (i.e) Facial reading, expressions, the raising of an eyebrow? It would be great to get a serious answer. Thanks.

My friend has obviously been abused in her childhood, she has been raped anally, beaten in many different ways, been called various unpleasant names and at times was abandoned. Additionally, she sometimes was forced to eat rotten food, all these actions had been taken by her parents, I feel for her, but she is very difficult, can often misunderstand things.
She left a job because her manager called her names at work, because of a minor shortage in her till on her 3rd day of employment, and she just resigned almost immidiately after the event.
This shows she can sometimes overreact, even though she seems to not regret this occasion, has has regretted many others in the past.
She seems to have a personality disorder, if so, could the reason for it be the abuse she experienced in her childhood?

If you answer, it would be nice if you could say if you have experience with the issue, and if so, why as this may be beneficial for a court case she has regarding her 9 month old child.
