If so, in what situations? Does your style of "levity vs. challenge" change to suit the occasion? Your first-hand experiences are most welcome.

I just can't settle and get work done during the day, no matter how much I know it needs to get done - instead I have found for my entire academic life I can only really get substantial amounts of work done during the night...I find during the day there are too many distractions that take my attention...is it possible I have ADHD?

I remember as a kid a teacher telling my parents I needed to have my hearing checked because she found I frequently wouldn't pick up what was said in class but I passed the hearing test perfectly - I also remember being told I was hyper as a kid and would be 'up for anything'...I have always been forgetful, I have forgotten many of my own birthdays...

I'm moving into psychology at the moment and am writing a paper on ADHD and that is why I have begun to think I might have a mild form of it.

I am not someone who hears about a syndrome or disease and thinks I have it...just to clarify.

I always feel so well nervous. I try to hid myself as much as I can because I hate my body figure although my mom says I'm completely normal. But I'm different from my class who all are the tall thin type and I'm the short (but not a mini) and thin to normal. I'm smart and all but in gym claass my instructor always gets mad at me for not having confidence. Which lowers any confidence i have.

My friend says I look somewhere between goth and geek. So I feel kind of wierd about that. I don't really have a lot of friends, only one best friend. I feel like no one else likes me but no one's rude to me right in my face.

I hate my hair but I plan to have it changed soon but right now I'm soo nervous.

Anyways my confidence right now is at a -5 (yes MINUS 5) so I really need help and someway to boost my confidence.

What do you think technology is-a blessing or a curse? People are killed more efficiently, harm the environment, get hurt by malfunctions, ect by technology, but on the flip side, where would we be without it? This is not my homework or anything, we had a discussion in class and was interested in everyone's opinion. I think it is more of a blessing, because without it, many people would die without the medical advances, hygiene would not be up to par, travel and communication would never be the same, and inventions we take for granted are the direct results of advances in technology. So what do you think?

My sister shared with me that two nights ago Jadin (my 3 year old niece) woke up crying at 4AM. My sister turned on Jadin's light and when she did Jadin asked her how her Care Bares looked. My sister told her that they were fine, but that wasn't good enough for her. At that point Jadin got up out of bed and went over to her Care Bares and began straighting them. Jamie then told me that earlier that night before Jadin went to bed she had spent about 20 minutes trying to get her Care Bares perfectly lined up and the exact same distance from each other.

She told me another story about Jadin being obsessed with the amount of milk in her sippy cup. Jadin wants her sippy cup to be filled to an exact amount and Jadin loses control if Jamie or her husband go over that amount. Jamie said that they aren't allowed to pour out a little bit of milk to get it at Jadin's desired level. They have to pour ALL of the milk and start over with an empty cup. More stories, but not enough room.

A woman has a 10 year -old son. Her son did not have a relationship with his father because he was in jail. She kept her son’s grand-mother (father’s side) in contact with her son. Then the father was released from jail and the grand-mother persuaded her to let him (father) see his son. Reluctanly and with enough time she did. Well, now the SOB is back in jail, and her shame is consuming her, and her son.

Her son got his first “D” … and she attributes this to him seeing his father and then learning what a creep he was; she's placing blame on herself, and not him …

So, as her buddy, I want to know of any resources (books, web-sites, groups) that help mothers who’s husband’s/ father’s of children are in jail.

I had a dream where I was on a rocky cliff with a male lion. He was friendly and playful. Yet I was still a little afraid because we both understood he was hungry and he wanted something to eat. So I handed him an empty plate. He chomped down and it broke into pieces and looked at me like I must be crazy. He then slowy proceeded to crawl on top of me but in a playful childlike manner. I then woke up. Now the funny thing is I was about four months pregnant and later found out I am having a boy and he will be born in the month of LEO. So is this related to my dream or is there some other interpertation?

okay this is an excerpt from a 2 page paper that is supposed to be like the first two pages of a novel. I wanted to post more but not enough room :[[


I wasn’t always this way. Well, maybe I was, but even I couldn’t realized the extent of quandaries. I don’t realize the extent yet to come even no. Is it dangerous? Very. Until I am sure if…No, what is wrong with me, I just smile, sit pretty, and put on my ‘faraway eyes’. Everyone around me is just so tightly wrapped around my finger that it’s sick. I’m practically thinking two thoughts at once every day. A.) My psychotic whirlwind of confusion and clarity; Or B.) What would I be thinking two years ago that will make all of these people pass me by? Even just two months my mind wasn’t this ambiguous. I was blissful in the mask from the reality I knew soon to come. As predicted, my world went from late night phone calls and rolled-eyes to Advil and fake smiles. Yeah, things change.

i mean people like doctors/gps, library workers, library clerks, post office workers, store employess, people who work in department stores.
i experience this kind of subtle, underhanded not easliy detectable behaviour alot and i get angry and worked up about it, and it also makes me very depressed because i dont no how to deal with it and handle it.
ive had bpd for 15 years, with very low moods, low self esteem, and problems with rage, and when i experience this constantly from these people it doesnt help to defeat the notion that everyones against me. i have paranoia about this anyway, so when i encounter this behaviour, it makes me believe that its true that people in authority are against me or any people for that matter

I'm a 25 year old guy, in good shape, and I have a pretty hairy torso (like the guy in the 40 year old virgin movie). Do chicks get grossed out by a man's torso hair or what? So many dudes shave it off. Is body hair on a guy a turn off?

Have you ever wondered if everything in your life was fake, your friends, your parents, your girlfriend, your privacy, the grades you get in school, everything. And if so how would you deal with it? What if life was just a dream, everything in it was a figment of your imagination and everyone knows everything about you, how you will react to certain situation, how you think, and everything in your past that you did, and everyone just lies to you about it saying they have no idea what you are talking about. How would you go about life after you finally figured it out. Do you think that would suck balls or what?

Do you believe in the Indigo Children theory? That indigo children are here to change the "old world" into the "world" with the help of Crystal children?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/indigo_chil...

They are typically born from 1968-2000

I just heard about this theory today and i find it VERY interesting.

My mother dreamed that I (her son) was raking withered leaves at my grandmothers. She was there too, and I was younger.

The same night my grandmother dreamed she was in a coffin pit. She struggled to climb out and made it, yet she saw me crying (again younger) in the pit after she'd climbed out. I tried to reach for her hand, and then she woke up.

Also my mother dreamed that my grandmother had bought a black coat. Before my grannies mum died, she dreamed she had bought a black headscarf.

Does it mean I might die soon? How would you interpret these dreams?

Thanks a lot
