I thought that I had gotten rid of it: all the hate and pain and anger that destroyed 4 years of my life. But it has slowly been returning for the last year. (I'd realized it a little, but not the severity of it.) I do want to keep hold of the happiness that I should feel blessed for having, but one word or one old picture just kills it all. I honestly don't know why I can't keep it away from me. It was going so well for what seemed like so long.

This random outpouring of sudden truth is brought on by the sudden realization of the problems that used to surround my existance and are seeming to return.

This anger and pain is covering my candle of hope and aspirations of happiness now. But back in the day that darkness had strengthened me; however, it was at a dear price: my humanity. I would push people away because I didn't want them to be sucked into the darkness that surrounded me. I never was a bad person, just someone who wanted and NEEDED to have my space, to escape

I spent some time in a psych ward during an psychotic episode I had really powerful haptic (tactile) hallucinations along with auditory hallucinations. I would like more information on the subject and to learn how to avoid future episodes but my online search has been pretty inconclusive and books have little to say on the subject. Please help me find informative articles and resources.

I want to be happy with my self but i dont feel like i will ever get there. There are multiple reasons why im unhappy but i think the main reason is my academic success has never been where i would like it to be.When I was younger i was always put into the "slow learners group" the group of kids who needed help reading and that has stuck with me all the way here. Even on the tests I took when i was in elementary i always scored below average. In highschool i was again put into some different classes than my friends, putting me a year behind. I dont feel like i will ever be able to achieve what people around me are achieving. i am in college but taking classes that arent taking me anywhere. Im not happy with my body, my looks, I dont go out with friends any more......i am at an all time low how can i pick myself up, thank you for reading this. Please no nasty comments im not in the mood for it just dont reply. But if you have any word of incouragement please do comment.

I am writing a paper about the psychological affects of a child having a mother who is stern, rejecting, emotionally-unavailable, unaffectionate and verbally abusive. How would this affect a child in their adult years?

This is the example I was given...

A young girl is being raised by a young and depressed mother who is unhappy in her relationship with her spouse... she is generally unhappy, complains of headaches, has little to no patience for her children... doesn't hug her daughter, is rejecting, insensitive, emotionally-unavailable and not affectionate... how would this affect the female child as an adult?

Any input appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Men and women deal with emotions differently, right?.. So, who do you think could deal with stress easier, a male or female and why?

I've had depression for about 5 years now, or what I think is depression. I feel like I'm in the bell jar, if that means anything to anyone. But I also find my depression comforting, it's like a blanket. I usually don't talk very much, or eat very much when I'm depressed, and it feels like this blanket because I don't really feel anything, I don't care about anything, so I don't never get hurt. I know my depression. But what can i do about it? went to a therapist once, and I didn't like the guy so I lied to him and refused to tell him anything. I don't see my depression as a problem, but I know there must be or else so many people wouldn't be going and seeing therapists. So what should I do about it?

What do I do? I don't drink or party anymore out of necessity and more importantly by choice. But with these restrictions (probation and no licence) I can have ANY kind of life. Being stuck at home day in and day out just makes me wanna get wasted until its over but I don't want to do any of that any more. I have tons of goals for the first time in my life but no way to achieve any of them. I made a few mistakes and bad decisions and now I want to right my life but like I said.. I cant do a damn thing. Cant even go to the store or look for a place to live. anyone have any advice?

One observation that I've made is that British feminism is more Left-wing, while American feminism is more capitalist: women liberate themselves by climbing the business ladder. (Does a minority of women doing this change life for the majority?).

Marxist Feminists see capitalism as responsible for bad (non-egalitarian) relations between men and women. Women's oppression is seen as class oppresion: oppression that's maintained because it serves the ruling class' interests.

What do you think? Are you a left feminist or a right one?

I work as a social worker and it is a very good job and for the most part I enjoy it.. but it can be very stressful with a lot of responsibility. I go home each day thinking about what i should have done or what may happen the next day. It gets to the point where I can't stop talking about it to my friends or family and I'm sure they get sick of it. When I go home i try to tell myself to forget about everything but it never happens... My mind is constantly racing. Any tips?
