My doctor says he can't treat me because he is not a psychiatrist. He had been writing me out depression pills and xanax for 11 years and he decides today that he can no longer treat me. Do you think this is right?

i have a dream that starts with me running from my mom, into the field beside her house, and my turning into a dragon. i fly over the short band of trees that connects her house to the ajoining property, but instead of a house there, there's an old, abandoned castle there w/no roof. i fly into it, and then notice a gravestone and a huge egg, both of which i have to protect from the other dragons that are now trying to drive me away from the castle, the egg, and the grave. what does this dream mean?

we dated for over a year and half and he broke up with me and moved on but his girlfriend dumped him and we're both still moving on as singles. i'm ok that we got comfortable with eachother, but maybe too comfortable, because i'm ok with us being close and all, but he farts in front of me and also tries to have sex with me (repeatedly) and it's like.... annoying because as much as we're close and everything, i want him to respect me like he respects his other platonic female friends (with no romantic interest involved). i mean i still have feelings for him but i don't want a relationship bc he broke my heart wayyy too many times. but i do want to tell him that i still have feelings however i want him to stop trying to have sex with me and RESPECT me like a sister (he would NOT do that to his sister or female friends!). how should i tell him? should i even tell him? what should i do?

...of the "socially challenged"? In other words, what purpose does it really serve to acknowledge those individuals (we all know who they are) whose only excitement in life seems to come from thrusting their racist and socially unacceptable beliefs and opinions into this forum. If it is literally an effort in futility to try to reason with the unreasonable or make sense of the unsensible, why do so many of "us" continue to try? How will this question be interpreted and by whom will it be answered... The rational and intelligent, or the "socially challenged"? Who will place themselves in the wrong category? Let's have some fun. Thanks...

she doesnt have poor self esteem...she has no self esteem. no matter what i say or do she thinks she is the lowest being on earth. ive told her how great of a person she is and how beautiful she is on a regular basis, trying to help her out, but it actually seems that its had a negative effect. she starts actually getting defensive, and tells me to stop lying and such when i tell her those things. she thinks im just being nice to her, but in reality i am a brutally honest person. i give her personal space, so i dont know every little detail about everything in her life. ive told her multiple times she can tell me anything about any problem, but she still thinks im just trying to spare her feelings. how can i help her build up her self esteem?

I know several people, including myself, that have been left stranded when things have gone awry. One friend of mine got cancer at 22, leaving her out of work (although insured) for about 6 months. Although a couple thousand was payed by insurance, she now owes around $27,000 for all the medication and time spent in the hospital, as well as the removal surgery. Why is it that when we need help the most, our security blankets fail us and we're left to fend for ourselves? Why do we spend thousands a year on taxes and insurance just to be left in the cold when we need help? Finally, why does the vast majority of Americans do the "dirty work" while the rest reap the benefits? I don't know about anyone else, but I'm tired of fighting for the scraps.

I know it is a fetish, but why not go to a thrift store to buy them instead of spend $20 for one pair of used socks on eBay?

When students enter my professor's classroom, he always greets them and asks them how are they doing. But when i come in, he'll look up but quickly look right back down to his papers. He never makes eye contact with me when i want to answer my questions or comment on the current chapter. Is it the way i look or is he like get a certain vibe/aura from me that's not welcoming? It makes me sad and worried that i am irritating him. hmm, what do u guys think?

Well, the problem is that I'm too much of a damn push-over!!! I'll give you some examples of my " door-mat" manner:
1. A friend and I walked up to the convenience store over our lunch break at school. You have to wait in line to get in the store because the owners don't like too many people in at once ( they could steal). So, me and my friend got in line and these 2 guys just walked right in front of us----AND THEN HAD THE NERVE TO LOOK AT US AND SMIRK!!!
2. I was standing in the cafeteria line at school and there were these guys standing behind me and all of a sudden, one of them just walked right in front of me, with a stupid grin on his face.
3. We were painting in art class and I left some of the supplies out ( I was planning on cleaning it up before the end of class) and this girl was like, " Excuse me, you should pick that up, you're not aloud to leave it there," ( she said that in a very prissy, high n' mighty tone), I ignored her, then she told the teacher who made me pick it up. That girl had nor eason to have anything against me, and I STILL didn't do anything.
Anyways, those events and COUNTLESS others have mouldes me into what I am today, a full-flegded push-over!!! How can I stop being this way, I'm tired of being walked all over! I'm placid by nature, but ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I am naturally left handed. When I was 4, my dad told me that my teacher forced me to write with my right hand. Right now, I write with my right hand and I even play the right hand guitar. I live normally like a right-handed person but when it comes to holding stuffs and playing sports, I use my left hand. Fortunately, I never had any difficulties with my hands and somewhat I'm even proud of being able to use both my hands. So far.. I've never met someone like me.

being happy is so relative... people are naturally insatiable... i wish i knew how to balance everything... i've tried almost everything... others just make me so unhappy, not love life and not love what i'm doin'... :-(

Ok.I was in relationship with a very very very jealous guy for one year. I left him,because i found it very hard not to have any friends, not having my needs met. It has been 7 months since the relationship finished. We are still in touch,just over the phone.I miss him so much, so much. even thou i was not very happy in the relationship, it was special for me. He doesnt want me to work, he doesnt want me to have friends. he wants me just for himself. i really love him and miss our sweet moments.I can either try to forget, like i have tried so far, but it isnt possible, because he just means too much for me. It means feeling pain for very long time, having to cope with not being with him ever again, which i found very hard. Or i can come back to him and start family,as he wants us to, but it means to live againts my beliefes, i dont agree with not working, not being equal to my partner.i dont agree with this kind of life, but i cant face anymore life without him.i miss him too much.

AND IT FEEDS RESPONSES BACK throughout your days and nights - and no-one believes you (reason : why [bighead] should THAT happen to YOU?!] .

You know all about paranoid psychosis, likelihoods, normalities and delusions. You know science. You're convinced it's REAL. (ie. you're FRAMED, and trapped)

YET IT'S STILL HAPPENING. YOU WANT IT TO STOP. WHO DO YOU GO TO ?
