I have never known whether to believe in ghosts or not. I have always had a great imagination but my father always told me that ghost stories were just made up, probably so I didn't get too scared, I am not a coward but things like this, that I can't explain scare me. What are your views?

If you opened your eyes tommorow morning and couldn't see how would you feel? You had someone rush you to the ER and they told you it was permanent...Would you sulk or do the best you could to get on with your life? Would you be angry or understanding about the whole situation? I guess this question is a good reason to look at everything with an open mind and not take simple things like sight for granted. :o)

Last night I dreamt that my brother told me he was seperating from his wife and he showed up this afternoon and told me that they really are going to seperate! :-( Is this common? Why did I dream that if I didn't suspect it at all? Thanks.

I suffer from panic attacks, mostly when I am alone, is that I fear not existing, mostly because I wish I could know what’s next, or what happens around me, when I am dead. I use different techniques to control my anxiety attacks, but sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. When I am getting the panic attacks I end up thinking, really negative thoughts. Mostly suicidal thoughts, because it always comes to me, if I kill myself now, then I don’t need to be going through this. What could I do? Is there something I could do to stop this?

Be careful ! if your answer is no, then you DO Believe in the opposite, hence, you believe in something!

well...I hope you got the picture: self-sabotage. I've read something regarding self-sabotage on the web and found that ... it surely happens to me WAY TOO OFTEN.
I study quite well but sometimes I just can't start concentrating because "I can't do it!". when I try to focus or do something, I panic, stress myself and then I'm unable to think at all...and it's getting very annoying because this SHOULD NOT happen...

what can I do with it?to stop this...blocking? when my mind gets "out of order" it's like I'd close my mind or like closing a door so that nothing can enter

like if you dont feel anything during the day but when you're all alone you feel depressed. you don't know how to feel at that point of time. you're kinda mixed up and don't know what to do. its hard to explain, but if you feel the same way sometimes you know what i'm saying. well at least i hope.

This morning, I had a dream that I was in Scott Town, and some bullies were planning to have a fight. Two rival gangs were warring against each other. They had decided that they were going to have a show down right in front of the church. All of our church kids were outside. Then the gangs started to assemble to have war; some had red bats in their hands. They all were chanting their goal to kill the other side, and then they started to thrust rocks. Some innocent people who were just trying to get away, got hit with the rocks. Some of the kids fell on the ground because they had gotten hit in the temple with big rocks, and some small ones too. Our children (Pentecostal) were all outside; we ran inside, and a few kids from the outside too. The church looked different. The balcony went all around the church. To climb up the stair, you had to enter from the back. There was a huge lifting staircase in the middle of the church; the roof was much bigger…like it had been rebuilt all around. They were scared, and I was trying to keep the kids from being scared. The rocks started to hit the church, we were all on the floor. I begin to demand that the kids be quiet and listen to me. They were all scared. They heard me screaming (some how over all the noise) be quiet, and they calmed down only a little and listened to what I told them. I told some to go up the balcony, because we needed to go higher, higher so that the rocks wouldn’t hit us. The kids begin to cry and run up the stairs. When the balcony was full, every one else got on a winding staircase in the middle of the room. Vet made the staircase move, she pressed a button, and it started…she also pulled something down. As I looked around, I could see Cortney on the balcony. I told the kids not to move. The staircase winded all the way to the roof, and I could see that we were only about two inches from touching the roof. I don’t know if the roof actually opened up, but in the dream something indicated that it did. We all just either stood on the balcony, or the staircase, until the war was done. We could see the rocks damage our church. A big rock hit the church’s window. The kids jumped. As I looked over at Cortney, she had a look of concern on her face. I didn’t say nothing. That’s the way the dream ended, with every child in the air, some crying, some just scared, rocks being thrown in the church, and us either on the balcony, or the stairs…from there I woke up.

Innate defined as: Suggesting something deeply imprinted, & not easily eradicated. Or you do believe humans have the choice, by discipline, practice or nature to choose more positive alternatives to their feelings (or actions)?

My mother is 84 and sharp as a tack. She has a sinus infection and took a long nap yesterday afternoon after returning from an exhausting trip over Christmas (I mean EXHAUSTING her plane was delayed for 5 hours and they had to rent a car and drive all night). She woke up from her nap and started calling for my dad and even set him a place at the table. She is very upset as he had alzheimers and she's worried she's going crazy. Has anyone heard of this before?

At the end of my middle school career, I had a crush on a boy a few years older than me. . . so I found out what kind of girl he liked and started acting like that. About a year later we started dating, and a year after that we broke up. Now I have a problem: I can't go back to not acting . . . I don't know if I managed to change my personality, but I don't feel like that's what happened . . . I think it's because I'm so used to thinking about what I say and do before I do it and then choosing the "right" manner in which to do it . . . but I want to stop! What do you think before you do or say something? What kind of picture, so to speak, do you have in your head of what kind of person you are? Do you have any suggestions for how I can act more like myself?


I know this sounds really dumb, but I've been trying to snap out of the "act" for some time now, and I just can't . . .
