I was on youtube and saw a news report from Japan about the lolita craze but never really described what it was. What exactly is it? And what was with all the little girls? It isn't... sexual is it? That would be... weird.

Hi folks, I need advice please.

To cut a very long story short, I'm far too oversensitive. If I hear on the news that someone has been raped, I can't forget about it or stop dwelling on it - it literally hurts me. I still remember horrific cases that I saw on the news 15 years ago, and whenever I hear of another case it all just stores up in my head.

When I was about 13, for no apparent reason I developed this horrible fear that it would happen to me. This will sound seriously weird, but for years I knew it was going to happen to my little sister at some point, and it did.

I'm sure that all this is connected to some horrible things my father did to me when I was a kid. (I only started remembering this a few years back, after he died, and I still haven't got all the memories out. When I realised, my fear started to make sense.)

I tried suicide when I was about 16, and would never try that again, but I don't know how to cope with the sh*t that goes on in this world.

so most people say to interpret your dream you have to look at the things that stand out the most, and in what context it was in. i don't quite remember exactly what happened but the things i remember the most was, in one of my dreams i was in the dark ducking a flying bat. my other dream was i somehow came across some spider webs, and then all of a sudden a tubular spider web looking thing was attached to my hand and a long creepy crawly thing was climbing through it trying to get to my hand. i kept trying to shake it off but i woke up before it got to me. i was disturbed for a little while before i went back to sleep.

i haven't remembered my dreams for quite some time so having these dreams stand out quite a bit. what could it mean????

ok, so i had a dream that ashley tisdale was at my school and when everybody left the stadium where she was answering questions, i stayed so i could get a picture with her. then we took some pictures and when i looked at the pictures, it was me and my sister. it was weird. so i looked up and my sis was standing with me where ashley had been. i'm thinking maybe in my dream it was like how hannah montana is famous but she is really miley stewart(who isn't famous)

then i had a follow up dream that ashley tisdale came to my house and we were in a room in my house with a bunch of little kid toys and i think we were babysitting some kids. then i got a bunch of pictures of us together and they were of ashley and i. then when ashley left, my sister came over right after...

wondering how some dream interpretators would think of these dreams...

I can't get away for it. Even in the evenings and on the wekend it follows me around mentally. I feel like I'm always there and can't really relax. I'm losing perspective on everything, epecially future goals because I'm too bogged down with my current job. I just think about how I hate it but I don't have the skills to do something else. It's business. That's all I've dones but it's uninspiring. What do you do to help yourself feel away from it in your spare time?

Whenever my girlfriend gets something that has seeds, she refuses to eat it. like lets say we go to a restaurant and get Hamburgers. If the bun has seeds on it, she will sit there and take every single one off before she eats the burger! She had an experience where she nearly choked a few years back, but she claims shes been this way her whole life so I dont think thats it.
Why does she take the seeds off of everything??? Do a lot of people do this?

I just I felt that I was in love two times before but one of them ended in hatred and another ended in a very nice and deep friendship (we’re best friends now but it is not a bf-gf situation anymore), and now there is another girl in my life that I feel like I love her, so how can you tell that it is love this time or even such a thing as love even exists? Haven’t you ever had the same experience?

When that one person who we made the centre of our life walks away, what are we meant to do with ourselves? Are we mean't to cry, to release the pain, or laugh, to show a new beginning? Or do we become a fragile state, numb to society and reality. In my oppinion, and in the circumstances that I find myself in at this stage in my life, I have chosen to cry, to drain the memories through tears in which my love left with me, and smile with a new beginning and oppurtunity to create a build up of emotional strength.

When he left me, I refused to believe the sorrid truth. I lived my life on false hopes, believing that when he saw me, he still got the occasional flutter, and when he hugged me, he still felt in love. I believed this for too long. When my mind emerged out of it's wishful state, I hit a complete block, I became numb. Because I finnally realised that he didn't love me, didn't want me, nor need me like he used to.

when that whole field is nothing but a dangerous sham! from old times when they would electro shock therapy patients torture style to so called cure them! all the way up until today when they try to put young people on ritalin even though it is clearly being over prescribed. and many horrible things in between like blaming autism on bad mothering!

knowing that the whole field is a sham why is it so popular although we are degenerating fast mentally in this country, and more and more people now go to psych treatments and the more people go the more problems they get!

50 years ago the majority of men would refuse to go to a psych dr and there was soo much less crime and mental disease then.

my cousin has a masters from columbia in some kind of psychology she says she is against drugs but i am against both psychologists and psychiatrists

not to say that their aren't good psych practices in alternative therapies though! obviously they will rise up and dangerous fields will fall.

My husband constantly complains that he has had a bad dream. During his sleep, he is sometimes very restlest with his legs moving and he gets jerks.
Sometimes (4 out of 7 days), when he wakes up, he describes that he has had a bad dream and he can describe it very clearly which means that he was actually totally involved in the dream.
Sometimes, he dreams about God and in the morning he is awake with good feeling but still its about 'the dream'.

How do I cure this thing for him? Is there any medicine or psychological treatment which can be given to him?

I keep telling him not to focus so much on 'dreams' and just 'ignore it'. Or just think good thoughts before sleeping (to which he replies that he does not think bad thoughts before sleeping).

Please help me how do I help my husband cure the above.

Thanks for all replies. It will be a great help!

Hi everyone who answered I had NO intention of indulging in this fetish. I'm not into it. I was wondering what to do about a person with a hynofetish who visits me. What is he is seeking from me as a therapist. Does he expect me to whip him and dominate him? What is hynofetish exactly and why would he be attracted to it. What is his psychological makeup? Is he violent or pathological? Whether I should try to cure him if there is a cure. I will talk to him to find out what the fetish involves but I had NO intention of indulging in anything in this 'kinky' realm. I thought I might get some input from others with more experience in this fetish area.Thanx

Not in a "I hope to be a singer" kind of dream. Like the one that you dream at night. I know they all have meanings, but can they really happen in the future? Are they telling you something?
