ok well, i come from a very religious family. it's hard to talk to them about certain things. i can't talk to my mom about it because...well she's my mom. my sister lives in another country and it's hard to get in contact with her most of the time. and i can't tell my sister in laws anything because it goes directly to my older brothers whom, might i add are EXTREMELY overprotective of me. my obsession....BOYS. i've read duas and hadiths, verses from the quran, and also tried to seek help from my friends but nothing seems to be working. what do i do? it's the same thing everytime but just with a different guy...it starts with a physical attraction which grows into a crush that slowly develops into an obsession. and i can go DAYS...MONTHS...just thinking about him and i feel trapped in my thoughts of him most of the time. what do i do?

Can it really be done successfully?
Do the tasks if done frequently enough together be treated as one (how much so?).
Could you explain precognitive planning?
Personal accounts are also welcome.

For a long time now I have been debating which a believe in more. I was raised Presbyterian and was brought up to believe in Creationism. However now I am not so sure because I have just come to see so much evidence supporting evolution. I do believe in a divine power and the fact that something had to put life on our planet but am not so sure we were put here in our present form. I have never learned much about other religions views on life and would be interested in those. Also any reading material would be appreciated as well (have already read the bible). So any clearification on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thank You in advance!

When your inspired the questions asked on Y!A are deep and meaningful giving you great opportunities to share, but when you’re overly grounded and drab the questions are dark and of no inspirational value?

I thought I was just having my perceptions shaded by my mood but after going back and reading the questions and comparing them to my little mood chart I set up for this experiment I find correlation between relevance and inspiration. I’ll try a more aggressive experiment sometime next week. This one wasn’t controlled enough for me to claim it to be anything more than a statistical anomaly but it has more correlation than I’d expect.

We both did things to ruin our marraige..me more than him.. He left a year and a half ago and I have been obsessed withe the idea of he will come back. The strange things is we get along, he comes over frequently to visit with the kids, he says, but when i try to stay away from them he calls me into the living room or outside whereever he is he calls me to him. Or when he takes the kids out who are 10 and 11 and are good and doesnt need my help with them has me go too. He tells me he is not coming back and that he does not love me in that way but his actions and some things he says tells me different. There isn't a day that goes by that he doesn't come over or call. And if I don't call him he calls me.I am feeling alone and sad. I just want to be with him and he obviously wants to be around me. Why can't he just come home and how do I get over this and move on cus I cant live like this anymore but i cant seem to move on and he hasn't even filed 4 div.

Earlier I was feeling really awful, crying my eyes out for no real reason, couldn't get up to do anything, but after Y!answers & a magazine/nap, I was awakened by the therapist I called earlier but at this point I had forgotten about what happened and she unintentionally reminded me, although I'm trying to convince myself if I can be strong the first time then I shouldn't let it bother me anymore. I'm really annoyed actually I was awakened by my nap to have someone ask me what was wrong but I know she was just trying to help, and I'm sure she called back because I probably sounded so terrible in the message earlier. the depression is on and off it seems, after some people interaction i can usually go on. ive wanted to see a therapist for some time now but I think this will just make things worse after i've *seemed* to bring myself up? what do you guys think? sorry if this is confusing.

and pls no mean or unnecessary answrs, i would just prefer some supportive guidance. thanks guys :)

I am in my early 30's, have no partner nor kids. I had several relationships but there was no chance for further commitments. I live in a foreign country and my family is far, but I've never really been close to them. Have a good job.I am a bit materialistic- that's how I was broght up- to fight for everything. My childhood was not the happiest, I am the youngest of 4 children. I spend most of my weekends alone, doing shopping to keep me happy and occupied my mind. And YES- it hurts to be alone! I am a bit afraid of commitments but would love to meet my soul-mate. I used to have days when I did nothing all day- I was like in "coma", nothing interested me. How can I be more involved, loneliness really hurts. I have got some friends but you know how it is with them. I have nothing to hold on to. Any advice. Thank you.

In this one. I am hoeing in a field of beans, cut out the weeds. I stop and see a man standing near a fence about two hundred feet a way, just smoking a cigarette. I turn to say something to my brother when he yells, "That man disappeared!" I turn to see a puff of smoke floating in the air but no man. The ground was flat and there was no place for the man to hide. I had dreamed about a person disappearing and I needed a cigarette but my dad would beat me if I got caught. I said, "Rog, I'm gonna get a cig down in the woods."
Rog says, "I don't want one, Alex."
I'm in the woods lighting up a cigarette, when I hear.
"Alex think you can get a way from me?" the voice sends a chill up my spine and my hands begin to shake. I turn to see a dark haired man, I think he was the one I saw smoking.
"Now you die." he said and raise the gun towards me.
"Not this time Jax." the voice comes from behind me.
A flash of light and I wake up.

I am always "talking" to myself inside my head, never out loud though.

I ask myself things, think about them, answer them... have an inner dialogue. Not things like, "Hey how are you today?" "Im fine", but things like... "So if I decide to go to the gym today, will I make it back intime for dinner?" etc...

Do you do it too?

Additional facts: I am more of a solitary person, not many friends and I don't talk much to other people... =P But I'm not crazy ^^
