Psychology - December 2006

The first dream I had earlier this week was about my elderly next door neighbor (who had actually passed away quite a few years ago). I dreamt that my mother sent me over to see if he was ok because no one had seen him in about a week. I pushed the door open and was hit by a putrid odor (I don't remember if I could actually smell the odor in my dream, but I don't think I did). When I looked over at his rocking chair, he was dead and had been for a while.

I had the other dream last night. It was winter and something traumatic was happening because everyone was frantic, but I can't remember what exactly was happening. I just remember looking down and seeing my best friend lying face down in the snow, surrounded by blood. The only other thing about this dream that I remember is that people kept knocking on my door to give their sympathy, but I was too upset to accept visitors. (Just to make a note, the person who was my best friend in my dream was fictional. He doesn't really exist.)

Have you ever felt so sad and no one could understand you, so you get even more sad, but even if you want to cry you realize there is no use, because that won't solve anything, so if you cry you'll just waste your time... and then be sad again... I just realize this only after many times I locked myself in the bathroom and cried and then I got out as sad as I was before... How can you resolve something that can't be resolved by you... and you just have to wait, but you don't know for how long. And you must remain like that until that someone does what he has to do... I am always like that and I feel I'm going crazy! I just can't stand it anymore... No one understands me! If I'll tell them this, they'll say I'm crazy. I know that because she said it right in my face. Yes, my mom said it. And if not even my family can't understand me, not even my sister, who else can? I'm alone here... My family is living their life, passing right by me, and not knowing how I really feel.

We all have personal values, like honesty, family etc. But: is it all just talking and thinking - or by what actions do you really prove that you follow a specific personal value?

..a problem in itself [ie seeing cartoon violence and laughing at it doesnt present a problem]

..........but the fact that bart&lisa are themselves laughing at the violence [which addults can perceive is ironic] young minds might be making the connection-----cruelty=fun or cruelty=laughter.

i know its only a cartoon for godsake..but dont other people think there is a distinct difference between seeing funny violence and laughing at it....as opposed to seeing a character laughing at violence that is occuring?

I'm not insecure because I have a good deal of pride in myself, and have confidence in my abilties, especially when competing. Anxiety doesn't really explain it either. I work in retail and for one I have trouble looking people in the eyes sometimes, but typically only if I think about it. When I first go into work I'm pretty "Confident" I guess you can say, but later on in the day I start to "wear" down and my social skills seem to deteriate. I can't talk right, and don't feel like talking. It's hard for me to make small talk and find words to say and find myself forcing the words out. Like if I think about it too hard, when they leave I get extremely nervous and don't know what to say. Have a good night, duh. Or if they say something else I'll say something totally out of context. But other times I pretty much carry on the conversation enthusiastically. It's like night and day. What does this sound like? Thanks all

I'm not saying that everyone feels happy only if another person is sad, I'm saying most of the people do.
And when I say they're happy only when another person is sad, I didn't mean that for example they're happy when they see someone crying on the floor! I meant that they feel happy when someone else is sad but without intention! I mean, that they don't know someone else is sad when they're happy! I mean, that something you might want to do may make you happy, but it may cause someone else to be sad! They make someone else sad when they are happy! But without intention! Do you understand me? I just noticed that happens in most of the cases.

People refer a week as a 7-day cycle because they have been born into a world that applied it long before they born, but in reality that number is acctually a number. The day count can acctually be 6 or 8. Well, it could be a long history. But how does the cycle can improve the quality of life and to the human nature if it is different from 7? can it contribute to a better way of our living? to accomodate the fast style of living ?

I have found that I cannot control the feeling!!!! Why can't someone tell why and how can I fix it. It will kill me if I cant solve it!

I'm doing a project on happiness and I found some research saying that although humans have six core emotions - happiness, sadness, surprise, disgust, anger, and fear - the only one that is a positive emotion is happiness. This made me start thinking: why do people like being happy? Is there any scientific basis to it? Or is it purely psychological or intuitive?

I had met several times people who would say something first and later when the situation would become different, contradict the previous statement and tell that he had actually told me to do something according to this new situation and that I am guilty of not listening to him!!! I feel like punching at his face. Is my reaction wrong? There are people who would criticize you if you take the right turn saying that you should have taken left turn and if you take the left turn they would say right turn is the correct turn. I meet people who teach something but do not follow that themselves. I really hate these people for their behaviour. There are people in offices who are just puppets under the hands of lower rank stuff. I hate when people say something stupidly without knowing the real story. I can not tolerate such people. I have strong hatred for them and because of this sometimes feel jittery that I have to live among them. How to deal with such people?

I often find that I talk a lot and want to get into a habit of listening more. I read a lot and if there is a topic where I'm sure I know more.. I end up getting into arguments and being agressive sometimes. I realise one of my problems is that I think very fast and have an answer ready before the other completes it. I know this is wrong and I ahve to listen to others. Can someone help me overcome this problem in simple day to day activities

I always have to wait for her to find her keys. She often (like once every time i see her) misplaces common words and she sometimes makes more than one plan at the same time and then has to change one. She's only in her late 20's so could this really be the onset of Alzheimer's? What else could it be?

My English teacher let us make a diary for the whole school year. Our purpose in making a diary is to know our progress in grammar and style, and to see our psychological progress. Our teacher checks it everyday. This is 25% of my total grade in that subject.
I've fell in love with My Diary since day 1. I decorated it, put doodles, put some favourite things and worst things that happened in a particular day.
But making a diary made me go gaga about it. My family said that I ignore my studies all for the sake of my diary. Some say I became more emotional and more temperamental. And the worst is, whenever I lose or forget to write my diary, I just cry and shout like crazy.
Today, I submitted my diary and my teacher said she won't return this anymore. I was deeply saddened. I just decided to make another one, from a cheap notebook bought from a store. I just can't help it!
Please help me advice to this dilemma I'm facing, can you?

Have you ever had that excited feeling , like when your on your way to a big event or a friends house and your blood gets pumping and you get jittery and ready to go?? Ive been getting that alot lately. Just a minute ago i was sitiing watching tv with my sister and had a sudden urge to stangle her for no reason at all. I jumped on her with all intention of killing her then backed off. I proceeded to grab a piece of wood and had almost a vision of myself hitting her bludgeoned bloody face over and over and over again. IM not a violent person and appear to be a vwry nice intellegent person but when these urges happen its like they take me over and then I snap out of it like a trance. I hope they dont continiue to escalate. Is there a known disorder for this problem?? How should I go about telling a doctor if Im admitted??

I just found out today that I have borderline personality disorder. I have been reading about it, but not much is said about treatment. What kind of therapy will I need? I know that BPD is not treatable with medication, unless there is another mood disorder present. Does this mean I really am crazy?
