Is there really such an illness? Do yourself even know when you "change" into someone else?

I had been dating someone for months before learning he was married. I ended it right away but it still haunts me and he still trys to contact me. He travelled a fair amout for work and I suppose that's what made it so easy to keep it secret and I did suspect but when I questioned him, he looked me straight in the eye and lied to me. Some of the lies he told me where so amazing I sitll don't know how I bought them. I feel like such a fool and wonder if anyone has any similar experiences to share or ideas to help me get past this. I've had trust issues in the past.....he knew of them. They've resurfaced and with the holidays coming I am feeling so miserable. Any words of wisdoms would be greatly appreciated. Thanks :)

some of my immediate family, and a lot of my non-immediate family are racist towards black people. the things they say, i've never heard such obscenities in my life. all the time too. i'm afraid that being exposed to such display for a long time will desensitize me to it, and eventually make me just as racial. i don't want that but i'm stuck and don't know what to do. i've never heard the "N" word used so much in my life, it makes me sick. any ideas?

Which personal event (relationship, job, whatever) did you not understand at the time, but only in retrospect, by piecing things together and reinterpreting them for what they were?

What assumptions or traits prevented you understanding it at the time for what it was?
What did this teach you about yourself?
What brought on the moment of realization?

(I'm looking for SPECIFICS about a personal event in YOUR LIFE - tell me specifically what, when and why, with some detail)

I was in a house fire several years ago and had to get myself and two small children out. We had been sleeping and I woke up (how I don't know) to the entire living room/kitchen ablaze, the house filled with smoke and the exit blocked. Somehow time seemed to slow down so that each split second seemed to take a long time. And during this time I knew Exactly what I had to do and how to do it. I suddenly knew things that I'd never consciously thought about before (ie: exactly how to throw my 4 yr. old from 20 feet up, so that he would land with minimal injury). This took multi-tasking to a whole new level. I have never thought so clearly and precisely in my life. I've heard of people in car accidents experiencing this feeling of time slowing down - has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know what causes it? Also, if the body delays going into shock in order to survive (or do what needs to be done) is it more likely that post traumatic stress will set in at a later date?

as i said I have terrible codependency problems and I am currently not recieving any type of help, Im a little worried about what affect my codependancy issues can have on my children and I was wondering if anyone could help me find out any information on this or if you know anything about the effects that codependancy of a parent has on a child? Any help you could offer I would greatly appreciate. What can I do after recieving help to keep this from effecting my children?

I dont know what's been going on with me lately. But for some reason, my feelings, or something, have taken a wierd turn. Im all of a sudden really anxious for no reason. And when Im with people Im not that comfortable with, I get very uncomfortable and shaky, and sometimes get all red in the face. I know it probably sounds stupid and minor. But I dont know why Im like this out of nowhere. I dont recall anything happening recently...but sometimes I just feel like people can see right through me. I hate going to work b/c I have to deal with people, and its SO hard right now. ( I havent been like this for a long time ) Its like Ive lost the sense to be myself, and I just lose all confidence. Causing these wierd anxiety things. I dont know. Why am I like this, and how can I deal!!?

(1) Live in a city in a developed country, high post job and enjoy material things, people are educated and being professionals; people talk about quality, efficientcy and service, but facing high level of stress and doesn't have very healthy body and mind.

(2) Live in a small town in a developing country, people hardly even speak English, being with a man who doesn't hold high post/qualification but care about you with all his heart, don't have any career opportunity, big shopping centres, or having meals in posh restaurant, and just being a house wife... But health gets better.

Which one will you choose?

I mean why do people take the time to look if? Are we all compelled tp open or follow every lead or thread? My grandmother used to have an old saying Curiosity Killed the Cat but Satisfaction Brought him back...I mean if you read that over and over again it really doesn't make any sense I am just curious (LOL)

From my previous question (what is your earliest childhood memory?), I've noticed that most of them are associated with fright or something else negative.

Why is that?

I'm not sure what's wrong with me. I have changed and started to think money is everything. All I see in my eyes is $. My personality has changed too. I don't even know who I am now. I use everyone who surrounds me to archieve my goals/desires. I'm nice to people, but I feel like I'm using them in some ways. I want to get back to those people who discouraged me and treated me bad before - I will not let them get away with it. I think people in this society turned me in to a cold-blooded evil person. I think $ is the power, and I can turn people to be my bitc*hes - that's what people did to me. I lost my girlfriend because she said I changed. My friends said I'm always not happy and not satisified with the things around me. Am I pretty much have to go this way for the rest of my life?

I always fall for guys who don't give me attention, who often lie to me, who care more about themselves than they do me, and who are too unavailable. I don't know why other guys aren't attractive to me...it's like their very boring or too predictable...not a challenge. I want the bad boy to just be a good boy with me. What is wrong with me?

I would say mine was when I was 3 years old and I was denied access into my mother's recovery room after a C-section. I was hysterical! How could I forget.... Back then (1985), women stayed in the hospital for one week after giving birth by C-section. Those must have been the longest one week ever in my little life.

i had stopped for awhile, and now i just do it on my thighs, and i don't do it very deep, and i don't do it every day, like i used to. is this okay, as long as i don't go too deep, or have anyone see it (so i don't worry them)?
what's your opinion?
