Psychology - November 2006

I just got off the phone with someone that told me it was un healthy because i need to take time to myself at times so that i can shut everything else out so that i can calm and sort things through my mind and i cant have distraction around me to do so. He says its unhealthy yet its how i have become the person he has grown to love and being someone that comes from so much trauma that is what has been a big influence in my life on keeping myself together. Why is it so unhealthy to have to take time away from the bs so you can rationalize and sort things through for yourself? Especially when you have a really analytical mind.

Sure, I understand it's a little weird for people to be asking about that kind of stuff here when they can easily go to sex-project (a forum used to educate) but some people don't know about it.

A guy asks a question about oral he's a pig, but when another woman does she seems to have commited the greatest sin ever. They're like "ewww that's gross/you're sick/you're a slut/I'm offened!"

It's supposedly an age when women will stand together as one to support eachother but when one goes and has sexual relations with a man or a woman, even if they are their boyfriend or girlfriend, or talk about a sexual act in public, they are instantly labeled as a trick or something.

Why do women do this?

I have sleep paralysis and was recently advised to take up lucid dreaming. It's the practice of remaining conscious in sleep, more specifically though, in your REM cycle where you dream. As such, one would be able to explore and mold their dreams consciously.

I find this prospect quite interesting, but would like some accounts or opinions on it as well.

Uh, oh yeah. Sleep Paralysis is the state of being stuck in the period between rest and wakefullness. This is also accompanied by sensatory hallucinations (depending on the person). So, stuck and awake, while seeing/feeling/hearing...really scary things.

I would love to get rid of this, so maybe lucid dreaming would be the way.

Grazi.

For example, I hate avacado. I've tasted it several times and hate the texture and taste. Is it possible for me to learn and accept the negative qualities of the avacado?

HAve you ever called someone because you were thinking of them? And when you talk to them, they tell you they were just thinking about you? Or you can be thinking of someone, and then out of no where they call you. Freud studied this, but I can't find the article. How is it, sometimes we mutually think of each other, and than at other times they don't even cross our mind? What is this called? Any websites or books discussing this?

I was a single parent for 10 years and have always been very independent. 6 yrs ago my father passed away and I started to have panic attacks. The doctor perscribed Paxil and since I I have gained over 60 lbs. Now I take 50 mg of Zoloft. I remarried three years ago and started working from home. I am not sure what is wrong with me, but i hate leaving the house. I desperately want and need another job. I send out many resumes and when I get the calls for interviews I will schedule them, but can not get myself to go. Or sometimes I will go and when offered the job, I can not get myself to start it. I hate myself and feel so fat and ugly. I am afraid if I go back to the doctor, he will increase my medication and I do not want that. I can't stand to gain anymore weight and I hate feeling medicated all the time. Please help me, I am only 35 years old and so confused all the time. I can never carry anything out and always change my mind. I want my life back. Please help me.

I master 22 employees now and half of them are useless while the other half are stellar and are deserving for higher promotions which I mentor and guide them to future advancement. How can I tactfully motivate the weak and useless people who are sloths and don't put in the same amount of effort my strong subordinates put in? I used all the tricks in the book as I have been a manager for over 10 years and have never experienced the problems I have with my current work crew. They just seem to be beyond reform...

Well, i use to sleep in a little room. It was kind of creepy . But it wasn't scary either. I moved into another room thats bigger and that was my mom and dad's room. It was about 5 days ago i moved in. The first two days i slept in there i've had bad dreams.
To test if it was the room or just me, i slept in my sisters room. I didn't have a bad dream there. What does tis mean? I think its weird. When i sleep in my new room, I don't get scared to sleep in there. Then i start to have bad dreams. Any help?

I have an IQ of over 150 and I've taken several different tests.

I always seem to overthink everything I do, and it causes me to hesitate and I have trouble following through with things.

The only way I have found to fit in this world is by drinking alcohol.
It dumbs me down to the point where I can enjoy life and turn off my chatter box of a brain.

Does anyone have a better way to enjoy life?
