Psychology - December 2006

Hopefully I can give you the basic question with as little info as possible. Depression runs in my family. I've been in and out of it my whole life, w/various medications.I was diagnosed w/fibromyalgia a few years ago,(to add to my fun --& most people think this is a made-up disease). My husband knew everything about my mental health since I met him in 1990. I love him so much, but the last year or so, when I had too many sad things happen it has been bad. Somewhere around 11/06 it has come back. He is losing his patience and I can understand him getting frustrated, it's human, but I also have tried to tell him how sad and scared I am. He ends up yelling at me. That happened one too many times last week.Threatened to drop me off at a mental hospital-which he knows is one of my worst fears. If I lose him, I'm done. Any advice on making him get that I'm not using it as an excuse to be lazy?He seems so dissapointed in me and that's saddest of all. ANY advice would help. This is bad.

When I was a teenager I had crushes, and assumed that one day I'd feel that way about someone "for real" and that would be love. But at 34, I'm still waiting!

It's not as though I get involved with people who are all wrong for me. I'm happy enough in my relationships. My longest lasted six years, others of note have been four years and three years (the one I'm in now). But I've never felt love. I go straight from idle curiosity "he's nice, I wonder if this'll work out?" to feeling like we've been married for ten years.

Everyone ticks all the boxes - same sense of humour, things in common, compatible values - but I can easily imagine life without them, my heart doesn't skip a beat when I see them, I don't really think about them when they're not there. I'd be as happy being just friends with them.

Could it be that I still haven't met the right person? Am I expecting too much and "love" isn't like that? Or is this some sort of personality disorder that I just need to live with?

All I can remember when it woke me, was a rectangle clear acrylic box fixed up with pea gravel and a climbing limb, with a big snake in it. A few large rats, and a bunch of mice were running around in it. Then I see a bunch of kittens standing in a corner watching the mice. One bold kitten decides to play with a mouse, and eventually was walking close by the snake swiping his front paw around teasing the baby mouse. Then he caught the mouse and had it in his mouth, and at that moment the snake rose up and bit the kittens head. It was flopping around and the snake just sat steady with the kitten in his mouth until it went limp..then I woke and freaked on why in the heck I dreamed that?????

I need at least 8 hours to function normally, 12 is perfect...but I don't want to sleep as much as it's basically time going to waste. So how can I become one of those lucky bastards who only need 4 hours of sleep per day and they are shining in the morning and through the rest of the day?

How long can you put others before yourself and to what detriment to yourself....where do you draw the line?

For example if someone is abusive towards you but you know they do not mean it, they are terribly stressed themselves...how long can you take it for?

When has this happened to you?

Does it make you wonder why, and what you could do to get them to like you?

3% of the male population and 1% of the female population are sociopaths? (Born with the inability to care for and sympathize/ empathize with other people.) So out of a 1,000 people men you meet, 30 care nothing of you or your existence and could watch you die without hesitstaion and 10 of the females. These stats were given by wikipedia.

I have a stuttering problem, it isn't overwhelmingly bad like how you might see reports of TV and such but it mainly effects with words that begin with "sh" and "sssss" words and also occasionally with "f". Sometimes it is good, I can talk to people and have a conversation that doesn't result in me getting embarrassed, but it isn't as bad when I talk with friends, more with family. Please help me on ways that I can get over this.

you say that by knowing that you tuly know nothing u will know something and this theory will contradict itself. but the things in this universe are infiite and infinite divided by finite is infinite therefore the ratio between finite and infinite is infinite and you know finite so actually you know nothing.

The mind has to be gradually and systematically brought under control.The will has to be strengthened by slow,continuous and persevering drill. This is not a child play and a fad to tried one day and discarding the next. It is a life work and to be attained is well worth all that it cost us to reach it;being nothing less than realization of our absolute oneness with divine. for information on mind :http://spiritualcenter.blogspot.com

My 21 year old daughter has recently been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. I don't know a lot about it, but what I've been reading about it. She always tells me that she doesn't feel like I love her, even though I've put a roof over head, and I asked her to move in with me after she got kicked out of her apartment so she wouldn't be on the streets. She tells me that she doesn't think I care about her because I don't spend time with her, but I do spend time with her when I can. I work, and she's not my only child; I have two other daughters plus two step-children. She feels that she is being neglected and the other kids get my attention and she doesn't. I don't know what to do anymore. I love my daughter, but she is so difficult to get through to. She thinks everybody else is the reason her life is in such disorder. Is this normal behavior for people with borderline personality disorder? Please tell me how I can deal with this.
