Psychology - January 2007

The points system is throwing me off. I grab a great question, start getting into my answer as if they only asked me, and then the points sign says Congrats for a few points. This can be a good thing for me to practice while I am on sabbatical forever now. I can keep my hand in without risking life and death!! But how do I calm my competitiveness down? I am 100% serious-------ALL the time!! Is that why I love this, because it has the opportunity to be fun too? Sometimes I die laughing over someone's 3 word answer or their whole witty speech!! There are some clever people here (my glass is suddenly half full) and I want to let go and experience this different form of human interaction!! How do I forget those damn points and curb my enthusiasm? No Abuse Please. Nor do I need a report about self-esteem. I would cut my time here out completely and clean the house if I wanted to feel bad. Many Thanks. Appreciate it. (Every time)

I'm 17 years old and I'm a pretty normal guy but why am I so angry?
I continuously argue with my parents, I snap at every other word, When I study I get pissed off cuz of all the bullshit they put in the book and not just get to the point. I get mad at my computer for being slower than normal. I mean I'm going crazy over here. How do I stop this anger?

a friend of mine, comes from family where her parents divorced when she was very small child. She has no contact with her father for very long time. She doesnt like her mother. She doesnt have alot of faith in people and questions their motives. Yet she is a lovely person, is married and is very grounded. How can someone turn out so well, inspite of the start she got to life, and the poor home environment in which she started.

is it a physiology effect? how does our brain receive it as a true logic rather than just a feeling?

Im great friends with a young man who is so sweet, kind, nice, just has great personality traits. But he has a disorder that when he gets really angry he turns into "jack" this "jack" hates my friend and my friend is completely controlled by this "jack" ive talked to jack and hes is completely different and evil compared to my friend. I feel alittle scared when I talk to him. But its only temporary, after alittle while my friend "comes back" and i tell him and he appologizes greatly, and doesnt like it when jack comes out infront of me. I seems like he doesnt relieze jack has come out at that moment. my friend knows about jack and says its the "evil side of my brain". ... I really want to help him, for his sake. is there anyway that I can? does anyone have useful info in this topic? and has anyone experianced it with a friend or relative? thanks for your time.

My 19 year old daughter is driving me crazy. She sleeps all day, up all night watching tv. or out with friends. She makes a mess of the bathroom leaving her towels, and clothes on the floor. She neglects her chores, and discusses inappropriate things around her younger sibs ages 11,9,7. On the weekends she drinks heavily, not like we did when we were kids. She quit school, doesn't have her GED, and has no job. In the state of NY you are responsible for your kids until age 21. So that means I can't kick her out on her azz. Please help!!!!!!

I feel like something is wrong with me. It's hard for me to express myself in front of large groups of people without crying. There are so many things I've wanted to do like public speaking but haven't ever been able to do that because I would get so nervous that I would start crying. Is there anything I can do to get over my anxiety?

My family left Montreal when I was only five years old, they moved to a town of 3000 people in rural Nova Scotia. My baptist childhood friends abandoned me at 13 years. In Nova Scotia I find the people lacking in common interest, peasants, and sexually unattractive. I only have one friend, he is in Ontario for university. In elementary people thought I was evil, in high school I had no close friends. I kept bad company last year at university--- betrayed by friends... I went back to the same school last September, fell in love with an exchange student----- turns out she did not ever love me-- just wanted to use my body for sex--- (the closest I have ever been to someone-- yet she did not excite me-- as she did not love me) My only relationship destroyed, I descended into utter depression (Ive been taking the meds-- they don't do a thing.) left university... it was not fulfilling. I am19, lonely, and intend to back to long lost monteal to create a new life. Does this seem right to you?

Lately, I've been pretty depressed. I wanted this weekend to be great, because it was a three-day weekend, and I really didn't have very much homeowkr...a very rare occurrence. So I wanted to enjoy as much as possible with my fmaily, but something insdie me kept me from being happy. I was depressed all the time, and my family members have been noticing that I'm much quieter now, and don't smile as much as I used to. I find a lot of things boring now, and have no interest in things I used tobe interested in. I'm trying to recover from anoreixa right now, so maybe that has something to do with it. Every mealtime with y fmaily is no longer something I look forward to, because I'm constantly trying to eat less than what they give me but they watch so closely. How can I fix my mood?
