Everytime I turn off all the lights when I go upstairs to go to sleep, I begin to feel all scared. I feel like I'm mentally hearing scary noises I heard before. What is the result of this?

Is it your hormons ripping your minds apart month after month?

It must be hell going from one end of the spectrum to the other month after month, week after week, day after day and in some cases minute after minute.

I have seen a woman go from bounceing off the walls happy to mad as hell all on her own in a matter of less than a minute

My husband lost his mother alomst a year ago. It was sudden and tragic (an fatal illness that came on suddenly). She was only 55 and he is 36.

Since then he has obviously been greiving as have i. I miss her dearly and daily can;t believe she is gone. My parents are in their 80's and I never expected seh would be gone first.

He has come to "hate" me and blame me for many things. He says he doesn't think he can get over how he feels about me. He blames me for a fight I had with her once where we yelled at each other, he blames me for many things. He kinows it is irrational and her deat wasn't my fault but he is blaming me ( and himself too for many things) but he thinks we will never be able to work it out because he can't seem to let that go.

He is in counselling.

Has anyone else been through something like this? He is currently living at home but staying in the guest room in the basement. We have two small boys(under 3) but he doesnt interect with them much since she died

Should we be supposing, as we often do, that the admittedly personal issues of some that ask questions here are presented with a decent level of honesty and accuracy, or should we simply say, "see a therapist"? I'm starting to the latter is the safer, if not better, answer.

Just Curious where you are on the happiness scale.

Let's say 1 being aweful, looking for a high bridge.

And 10 being..I LOVE MY LIFE LIKE CRAZY!!!!!!

Note: If you are very happy in your life...would you share with everyone what you have learned?

Someone said in my last question that happiness isn't a destination it's the journey..I sooo agree with that!

Also is there something to be said for the way we treat each other???? Does that bring happiness rather than a negative slam on someone?<---your thoughts?

Any suggestions???????

This scenario is hypothetical.

Suppose a man's wife is murdered and a close friend advices him against personally avenging his wife when the opportunity arises, and he heeds that advice. Sometime later the guilty, for sake of argument, person is arrested but later released for some reason. The person then goes and murders the widowed man's child.

My question then is not if the advice against vengeance is wrong, or if the friend has any responsibility for the outcome, but if it would be insensitive of that friend to repeat the advice, noting the end result of the widower having taken his friend's advice and having trusted in the justice system.

I believe the friend should ask another person to repeat it. Were I the widower, I don't know if I could be rational toward my friend.

What do you think?

I feel emotion to the extremes...I can never be a "little bit" of something...like a little bit happy, or a little bit upset. It's always to the extreme even when something happens that is stupid and i shouldn't even be upset over. Also, I have mood swings, and even though I know its wrong, I take it out on the people I care most about...and I'm scared that I am going to lose the man i love due to this. Please help me.
