Psychology - November 2006

My mother was killed in a car accident.She died on impact.The night before her funeral, I was sleeping at my Dad's house,and I was awakened in the middle of the night by a very bright light against my closed eyelids.I opened my eyes & saw two globe shaped balls of light hovering unevenly over me. It lasted for a few seconds. They took off as though they were traveling in a 3-dimensional way, as something you might see on TV, then disappeared.I know it was not a reflection of light from outside because my father had boarded up the bedroom window because of an air-conditioner he had installed.The bedroom door was also shut so there could have been source of light like this from inside the house.I thought she must be traveling with a guide. The night of her funeral, I felt her presence behind me.It felt like great love and compassion for my suffering.I felt her rub my back. When I spoke of this to others who were in the room, she disappeared.I do believe in God & heaven. What do u think?

Typicaly, I'll spend 10-15 minutes writing a detailed response to the question only to have the asker (who is asking because they don't know) pick the best answer from an equally uninformed person who has an easier and cheaper urban legand answer. Why bother? I only answered to help and it's frustrating! I want to yell "No-oooooooo, don't do that!

This could be a very elementary question so I apologize in advance:
Our eyes can see electromagnetic waves within a small band of frequencies. We perceive specific frequencies in this band as specific colors. The lowest frequencies we see are red, while the highest are violet, with the entire range of other colors in between. The whole of the EM spectrum is a LINEAR scale, with frequencies from 0 to ∞, so it seems that the colors we see are rather arbitrary. But it you connected the ends of the visible spectrum (red to violet), you would essentially get the color wheel, where the layout of the colors is now CYCLICAL. What is the psychology behind this, if any?

A person I know talks to himself. It's not angry or violent words, just like he's acting out a dialogue scene from a movie or learning lines or something. He just talks. Any idea what this means - when someone just talks to themselves?

In other words, to be psychologically healthy and happy, do we need to have boy/girlfriends and/or husbands and wives? Or can we be perfectly happy and healthy without them? If we need them, then what are the detriments to not being in a serious relationship? If we can be happy and healthy without them, then why do many people feel compelled to form serious relationships?

I'm a college student, constantly drifting away from my responsibilities. I know why I need to exercise self-discipline. I know exactly what's at stake, and I've been burned more than once by my lack of it. So how do I make the jump between that knowledge and knowing HOW to discipline myself?

In summary:
WHO: Me.
WHAT: Self-discipline.
WHEN: Now.
WHERE: University of Houston.
WHY: So I won't fail, drop out, lose whatever pride I have left. If possible, keep my scholarship and stay in the Honors College.
HOW: ???

How do you believe ones self-sustained inadequecies insecurities expectations general personality and self-esteem interact and effect them and their actions and decisions on a day-to-day basis? Also some specific examples to apply to this question: One middle aged male with a history of substance abuse and a desire to control his environment. low self esteem but too much pride to admit it. Views all things as a threat becasue he won't let himself trust anyone or anything. Uses agression as a deterent for undesirable responses. Fully functional in society, mentally stable.2: Young woman brought up in a well-to-do family, with encouraging parents she believes to have ulterior motives. Has a tendency to isolate herself from people as a defense mechanism, but she is essentially functional in social settings. Fronts arrogance but doesn't enjoy confrontation, in fact she fears it.
Please answer the general question and the 2 hypothetical applications thereof... Thanx Peace and GOD bles

About six years ago I was molested. I was ten years old & didn't tell anyone. For a few years after that I blocked it out of my memory. But I had to take a survey in 9th grade about sexual abuse, and all the memories came back. Since then I think about it constantly, what I woulda-coulda-shoulda done, and I feel guilty.

I can't seem to open up to people, and I get scared of people when they have a crush on me. I'm not afraid of guys, or being touched, like people would think if I told them.

I just told my parents last night and my best friends today. My parents said that we could take it somewhere legally, and get me counselling, but only with my permission. What are my options? Are there any sights that might help me out or give me some information?

I have this thing where I have to have things a certain way. It's kind of like if I take something out of place (not always, but some things) then things will change, I won't get to do the things I want in the future. At the same time, I want things to change! Something as simple as how much a door is shut will keep me standing there for a minute adjusting it til I like it. It's hard to explain, but it's like something like that can change what will happen in the future. Is this OCD or some form of it? Am I superstitious? I know it sounds really dumb.. but I'm just looking for a serious answer. Thanks!

My just showed us this magic trick which he refuses to give
the answer to. He has an assistant-who lets us pick an
object quietly. Everyone knows the object except the
teacher. The object of this is for the teacher to determine
the object. The assistant points to objects and he answers
correctly everytime. He even got the answer with his eyes
closed-with the assistant not speaking. How is this
possible? He says it has something to do with scientific
method..

I suffer from really bad anxiety, and have had a few panic attacks. I can't go into my city centre on my own, don't really like to go anywhere on my own. I struggle with busy places, I end up feeling on edge, and like I stand out (although I don't).

I'm a manager in a bookies, so have to deal with abusive and angry men sometimes. Although I stand my ground, any sort of confrontation leaves my whole body trembling.

I hate it. I hate being scared of everything.

I used to be really bad, I wouldn't get on the bus at certain times. I used to go out of my way to get another bus home, because I didn't want to get on my usual bus. Sometimes, I wouldn't even use the usual bus stop.

I don't understand it. I feel silly, but I can't help it.

I have to feel safe, but I don't.

Anybody know what I mean?
