I really havn't had much luck in my life for the last 3years. I have been quite sick and have had a few operations and a major car crash which I should be dead from (I have permenant injuries). I've had depression and been hurt a lot.

But I feel things are about to change. I've had a pretty good week (except possibly having pneumonia). I got offered a promotion at work (after being there just over a month), I'm not sports prefect at school, I'll be seeing my best friend in the whole world in less than 20days and I've been getting heaps of compliments lately and I've had top grades in 5 out 6 of my subjects at school!

I'm just scared though that I'm going to screw things up. Is it normal to feel like this? I want to be happy but I'm really scared! Please help!

Am I liar?
I was talking to a gay guy who is out about someone's lie. I personaly hate lies and liars so much and he said what's the difference between liar and me if I don't come out? It offended me so much. Am I liar because I can't come out? I'm nothing different from liars which I hate?

i was abused badly by someone i looked up to and they never payed for what they did yet. I wake up from nightmares and i feel an overwhelming anger inside for payback. I go in the basement and bring large knives and hammers and smash things pretending its their head. I have fantasies of killing them and since this issue has been ignored i feel like i want to take it into my own hands for payback, what do i do?

I dreamed that I was in a classroom with a rat, it (He?) was facing backwards, I was facing the chalkboard. It was speaking to me in tongues, and I was refusing to respond to it back in toungues. I tried to speak to it in English, to tell it to leave me alone, but when I spoke I spoke in tongues. It (or me ) was spitting so much that in my dream I felt wet. I woke up scared to death and honestly wanting to call my mom, who is out of town. What does this mean?

When I was young, starting at six, I was put in numerous foster homes, treatment centers and group homes by my mother who was convinced that I was mentally ill. After years of rejection by her, hurt was replaced with anger and rage and I began to prove her right. I would blow up for no apparent reason and get so mad and frustrated that I would become a danger to myself and others. Medication just seemed to make it worse and trust me, I been on the best of them.
Over the years after stoping the medication I learned to control my rage. I became an active member of society, had a child and graduated college. I even told my mother I forgive her, although that is not true. I just knew it was what was expected of me, to forgive and move on. But inside I am still so angry. I find myself envious of those who had a normal childhood, I can't maintain stable relationships, and I find myself getting angry at my daughter alot.
I want to move on, be happy with my life, but don't know how. Help!!!

my professor told me this story, but i forgot who it was and how it was caused. it may have been an inputting error, like putting the decimal in the wrong place or an extra zero to the $ figure.

OR does anyone know of any other good stories where economists have made mistakes causing a loss?

It is not funny! I suffer with Anxiety and Depression because of people like that. It has ruined my life. It is the reason why I cut myself off from socialising and having friends. The only kind of socialising I do is on Yahoo! Answers, which is becoming difficult due to the troll problems on here, which has made me leave on several occasions. But, I have decided to stay this time. I need to socialise with people, and as Yahoo! Answers is the only place where I can do that, I’ve decided to say to myself, stuff the trolls on here, they’re not worth me getting stressed, or worked up.

Very often I hear people who are low down with sadness. They have live hard lives, been hurt, feel unwanted, and want to give up. They complain, or dwell on bad things. Sometimes they do not do so intentionally. They just do it as conversation: "Well, my mom died, and my debt keeps growing, etc" and these people arent alone. When they reach out in sadness, many answer. For so many of us feel the same way!
What would happen instead if everyone who feels this way (depressed, ashamed, lonely) what if instead we came together to complain, we came together to celebrate?
Celebrate that we are not alone! That we all feel the same at times. Celebrate that we're alive! Celebrate that we have the ability to change our futures, starting now. Gow beautiful would it be if we made the decision to come together and change? To forgive our past for hurting us, to forgive ourselves for choices we have made. To be grateful for what we have learned, and move on to bigger, more beautiful things?

1. ‘The cultural gender belief system has influenced the ways in which difference and sameness has been studied in men and women. Early researchers’ conceptualizations of masculinity/femininity conformed to a bipolar view. The more contemporary plethora of research on masculinity/femininity and expressivity/instrumentality has created a body of knowledge that accepts these as coherent and measurable constructs. There are many definitions and instruments developed to measure them.’

2. The Bem Sex Role Inventory (Bem, 1974), are used to assess the degree to which men and women have internalized the gender stereotypic personality traits of agency–instrumentality (i.e., male stereotypic traits) and communion expressivity (i.e., female stereotypic traits). Engaging in gender-typed behaviors is assessed using the Sex Role Behavior Scale (SRBS; Orlofsky, 1981) and its short form companion (Orlofsky & O’Heron, 1987).

I'm a scizophrenic by the way and sometimes I sing to the voices just as a fun way of telling them to get f****. I already am on medication have been for a year and still hear these voices telling me to get a band and become a singer. So do you think that I should or just go about life living normally working with all these stupid voices in my head?

My question is a bit vague, but I'll explain. Since I was about 5 y/o my mom tried to "program" me to be a feature twirler in high school. My adolescent childhood was filled with twirling lessons, ballet and gymnastics to prepare me for marching band. (I never followed through with it in college.. too much drama)

I am now almost 23, and every time I talk about my sports and interests while growing up.. he tries to degrade me. Especially marching band. Like what I did was not important and that twirling or band is "not" a sport. He doesn't understand how much of my life I've put into this "real sport".

He never did anything in his childhood, except watch sports with his dad. Why does he do this to me? What am I supposed to do to forget about him degrading me?

The reason I ask this is because I have a 8 yr old son who has ADHD and since they won't say he has bipolar we will say mood disorder instead.. yea right they don't live with him..Anyway if they can't be put under that disorder till a certain age then why are they put on the bipolar medications?? Isn't Bipolar a mood disorder?? Whats the diffrence?
Also why can't they just use the term childhood bipolar?

I'm just curious. I'm a long distance runner and when I'm running I just think about things that people have said to me. I guess trying to decipher what they really meant.
