I dreamt about a close guy friend of mine twice already during this week. In the dream, we confessed our love to each other then kissed. In the second dream my bf found out and I felt quite guilty. I have been together with my bf for two and a half years! Recently, I'm unsure of my love towards my bf. But I just keep hanging on just in case i made a mistake about my feelings. I also think about my close friend quite often during the day. I think I might have feelings for him but I'm not sure. Do you think this means my feelings have changed? Please answer. Thanks

Every day, the message of being kind and generous has been delivering everywhere from every direction to everybody. However, people seem meaner and meaner than ever. Why? Please offer what you think to share; I will post what is in my mind. Thank you for your paricipation.

The reason for this question is that I'm starting to have more than just friendship feelings for a friend of mine - he's very much into comedy and has directed a few revues as a law student. I'm trying to work out if because he does this that I am hesitating.

I can see the advantages to it - funny man humor, wit, sarcasm - as someone who enjoys laughing and comedy, I could live and learn to love that life. That's one of the things I love about him.

However, if he wasn't that kind of person in real life, it would be an unrealistic expectation and a big disappointment of a relationship, for him and me.

Your thoughts? Experiences? Wise words?

..And your emotions/senses are dulled? I'm 15, and I've felt it for about 2 or 3 years. It's strange, but I sometimes feel like I'm not alive, or living someone else's life. I'm depressed either. Any ideas?

I have a boyfriend that I absolutely hate. And, the other night, I met an amazing guy, we kissed, had a GREAT night. Then, we saw each other again.. and it was too intense and I since told him I have a boyfriend and that it had to end.

I'm breaking up with my boyfriend after the holidays and then I'm going to spend around a year single before I consider anything serious.

But, the moments i spent with this new guy were SO amazing that I feel my depression was cured. Can love/infatuation really have such a positive effect on someone's life? I'm always in a good mood, and I am just so optimistic and confident now. It's crazy! And.. the guy is gone and I still have the aftereffects.. I'm in a SUPER GOOD MOOD every single day!! All from some trivial moments of passion with a guy I'll never see again.

I have OCD and have the craziest thought's but i know that i don't want them. I feed the checking compulsion in my head by reassurance, but im starting to think that im just not normal. Ocd is really difficult to have. The only difference i think between being crazy and ocd to me is that i would never go through with the actaul compulsion, . I don't want the thoughts. So tell me what's the differnence bw ocd and having crazy thought's and really just crazy people.

I shouldn't even be thinking about suicide?
i feel that anything i do won't have a good result if i don't pray for the extraordinary blasphemous thoughts that i had before
there no meaning, intent or plan behind my thoughts, it's just out of my control
are the people with mental illness infested with devils and is that why they're sad?
this is one of my biggest obstacles in life, so i should fight it off to find myself again
i feel that one day i might think that religion is killing me even though im a christian
whenever i feel guilty and uncomfortable, does that mean the devils are near me?
am i right and what should i do?
i had tons of points that i wanted to mention, which i all analyzed in my head, but it was gone when i clicked the back button
i have been having too much guilt all the time and i can't leave myself alone with it and i just had a really big fight with my grandma who i live with and i told her about suicide and that she looked like devil and she was very upset

I'm splitting with my spouse of 10 years. We have a 2 year old son who will be 3 next month. I am concerned about how the split will affect him and am trying to make it as tolerable as possible. As hard as it is my spouse and I are being civil and friendly and amicable about the whole thing.

I will remain in the same town as my spouse. He will see our son regularly (a couple of times a week at the very least)... as he watches him 1 day a week while I'm at nursing school and will also pick him up from preschool and spend the afternoon with him another day.

We've already discussed how we'll handle holidays and share birthdays etc. We've also discussed that we will not introduce people that we're dating to our son until things are "serious" and we've been with them for 6 months.

I'm wondering if when parents split amicably and peacefully and get along and are both actively involved in the child's life... is their still tremendous psycholigcal damage caused to a child?

how you feel then if you are depressed they brush you off? Very recently I got so depressed it was scary to even me and everyone around me seemed to do everything but want to notice. If someone thought I was feeling better and asked and I replied honestly then they quickly moved on to something else like my true feelings didnt matter. I wasnt trying to bring people down or complain but some real crap was going on and I thought I dont have a lot of people in my life right now and I thought I could talk to my close family.
Why ask how someone is if you dont really care?

I have had multiple dreams of roller coasters. Now I absolutely love roller coasters and heights but I have no clue what any of these mean.

The first dream I had of roller coasters, I was inside a huge roller coaster park, and two of my favorite coasters were there.

The second dream I had of a roller coaster, I was on a beach with my friend at night. There was the largest roller coaster I had ever encountered. It was right along the water and rope. Once again I was not able to ride it.

Another dream I had was one of my favorite coasters while I was younger and I was able to ride it a bunch of times with another friend. But rain and lightening came and I couldn't ride it anymore because they shut the ride down.

The last dream I had was my favorite ride. I was there with a girl I like and a friend of hers. I normally do not talk to this girl often although I wish I did. We were able to ride the coaster and have a good time, but the dream ended shortly after.

Ideas?

Its mostly guys but don't understand. Its impolite, lack of self control and immature to think its funny.

Its natural in everyday life. And why do they think its worse when women fart especially in public? Its normal for both men and women to fart so why are women any different to men?

I do not find it funny at all and I know many people who play 6 fish you have to name 6 fish when you fart. It's just stupid.

It is natural. What's your point of view?
