Ideas on how to cope, please.

It's gotten bad enough that I don't even leave the house (other than to buy food) because I don't want to parade my ugly face in front of others.

I have been feeling rare or strange sinse yesterday morning. I don't know why, but I feel like when I was little (about 8 years old); and I'm 21 now. What I mean by that is that I feel like I can't do nothing on my own, and like I want to run to my mom so that she can make me feel better.I started class today again in college, and I wasn't able to concentrate at all, I was just daydreaming most of the time. I don't know what's going on with me, or how to make myself feel better. Plus I feel like today is not my day because I had some small issues in school, which made everything worst.

I came across a photograph that terrified me so drastically last night, I actually put my hands up to cover the computer screen. I then backed out of the site and couldn't return to look at until this morning.


This is not some minor childhood fear, this felt like terror sinking into my bones. I could even feel a slight case of nausea building inside of me.

I've noticed that only two things help cure this occasional and overwhelming sense of horror. One is daylight...when I stand in daylight it seems as though I have just enough courage to face my fears. As if God himself is standing there, protecting me.

The other is companionship. When I'm in the presence of friends and loved ones my mind takes on a "strength in numbers" type mentality leading to more pseudo-bravery.

But once the suns sets and I'm alone again...that sense of foreboding sets in. Can someone elaborate on this please?

This is not my original idea, but this question has been bothering me for quet some time. The story goes like this: You take a fly and put it in a glass jar, and close the lid tight, you put the jar on a very accurate weight scale. If the fly is in motion (flying in the air and not sitting) at an instant moment when you measure the weight, will the jar be will this jar be heavier, lighter or the same weight as the same jar without the fly in it?

And your tired of everything. I've done my time talking to counselors, so I have all the "tools" and I stopped taking anti-depressants 2 months ago after taking them for at least 10yrs+. Don't want to rely on a drug, plus think my body was immune to them anyway. Have a beautiful home that has turned into a big clutter........want to clean it, knowing it will make me feel better, but back to the problem........no motivation!

I am 15 and I have a weird problem... I am in love with Scarlett Johansson, it is completely irrational but no matter how hard I try I can't control it. Everytime I dream about going out with her. I'm in major depression because of her. i can't calm myself down, I have a high blood pressure constantly because of her. What to do?? When I see her, it's the most beautiful feeling, so great yet so frustrating. My hands get cold, trembling a bit, I feel a certain vibe inside of my belly, my eyes are hungry and I'm almost dying. I'm engaged in science, but all fell apart when I fell in love with her. SHE IS ALL I NEED. How come?
BTW. Isn't she beautiful in this picture?

Their imaginary world they live in to cross over into the real world, and believe it to be true?...is it some kind of coping mechanism? or is it some sort of psychological damage?

Don't laugh but I use to be afraid of the Statue of Liberty. It mostly had to do with me not liking Tall statues period but that was the worst one.

im able to sing songs while the song comes on, but i cant remember the lyrics when i try to sing it all by myself. Im afraid i might have a mental condition, i try to remember the songs but i cant, im only able to sing it with them, and im not able to remember most things ive learned like in school. Could this mean i have a memory problem. At times i try to listen carefully to what the teacher is sayiong in school but i seem to be lost in my thoughts or just began to daydream. Is there anything i can do to improve my memory or what?
