Psychology - January 2007

I was reading a book description online about how hypnotism can help in all sorts of places in life, at work, at school, in the bedroom. It seems like a really interesting subject, I am just wondering if it really works, and if anyone has stories about really being hypnotised. Thanks!

I had a weird dream. I was in a train, then it got hit by another train. Then I was on the tracks, don't remember the whole dream. Then another train was coming, and I though I was going to get hit and die. Then somehow the dream changed and I ended up on another set of rail road tracks. How come I never got hit, or is it impossible to die in your dream. Perhaps if I was lucid, the train could have hit me, because I could control the dream. What does the dream mean?

i've always wanted a little brother, but my parents are past the baby making stage, and they just kind of laugh when i mention adoption, but anyway i had this dream that we adopted 2 boys, brothers named Zachary (age 9) and Jeffrey (age 3). i remember how they looked and everythying. we took them in foster care at first and then adpoted them. it was weird and i didn't want to wake up. but what does it mean? was it just me fantasizing about the idea? or something else?

My frustration does not lie with those who are truly diagnosed with depression, Rather, my argument lies with those who have a bad day, week, month or even year and like to shout out, "Oh, I'm depressed!" when really all they are, are people who are struggling to deal with adversity in their lives. Adversity, I might add that should they meet it head on and overcome it, they will emerge a much better person for it in the end.

The drug companies are leading the population to believe that if you aren't smiling and whirling around through the park, playing ball with your perfectly bred lab then you must be depressed and if you take "our" pill, you can be as happy as all these other people who are taking our pill(s).

Like it or not I have observed a trend in the work place and out and about. People self diagnosing their 'depression' and they have learned the "DEPRESSION SPEAK" of today so that their Dr.'s are handing out drugs left and right without follow up visits, even.

Like say if a bad event happened when you were younger.(example) Like if your mother like accidentally dropped a bunch of glass by you or something and the last thing you saw was like , idk, the color red. could that cause you to basically hate that color because your mind is kinda in a sense going back to that day. Even though you may not be having a flashback.


I know it is kinda unclear but try to answer the best you can!

I am speaking at a conference in April and naturally I get nervous. I also get nervous and I am a bit of a'wallflower' when I meet new people. Especially when the room is going to be filled with potential employers. I think I worry about what they think of me and stuff, which I know is a bit stupid, but I think we all do that when we meet new people.

Any tips or ideas on how to become more confident in these circumstances i.e public speaking and meeting new people.

Is there a Paul MacKenna CD or something which can help with these things.

I am not in distress or anything, I am just curious.

We become better and stronger people as we triumph over adversity, but there is a trend emerging where people are being given permission to medicate themselves to the point that they no longer have to meet the facts of life head on.

it seems that we are all being put to sleep by the drug companies! Consider this;

If a person can't feel pain, then they can't respond and pull away from what is hurting them, therefore the FEELING of PAIN is a healthy response to a negative influence and CAUSES a person to MAKE A CHANGE.

We need to be able to feel some sadness so that we can overcome, grow and progress, while learning to fix and or to eliminate those things in our lives that make us sad.

This is the ONLY WAY OUR WORLD WILL BECOME A BETTER PLACE. To keep drugging everyone is to allow our world to collapse from within.

So now, are you REALLY depressed and in need of medical assistance or does life just suck right now and the sooner you face the facts the better you'll be for it?

She signed up for the show. How could she not know it could get real personal and not very nice. I mean they all(reality shows) get to a point where it gets personal. How could she not know it would happen? Some girls dissing her doesnt really add up to racism. Catty girls are the backbone of these kind of shows. She was all stuck up and acting like she was some huge star and they should treat her special thats how I see it and they got her back.

My mother in law has dementia. She is still at home, and we hired a woman to help with her.She goes to her house in the late morning, gives her breakfast , does laundry, etc. We've been having problems with my mother in law staying up late. I dont think that she goes to bed sometimes until morning. Then when our help arrives, she cant get her up. Has anyone had this experience before? I know that they call it sundowning, but I dont know if it can be corrected. We cant afford to have someone with her all the time to make sure that she goes to bed at a decent time. Any input would be appreciated. She's also been nasty to people and shes normally a very sweet person. My husband and I are about ready to lose our minds. HELP!!
