Psychology - February 2007

My father hit me and ignored me a lot when I was growing up and I know this has contributed to my pattern of very bad relationships as an adult. I suffer from low self worth, go to therapy, take meds etc. I'm a smart 25 year old woman, but emotionally, I choose the worst partners and suffer from it a great deal.

Has it ever crossed your mind that someone might recognise you
and get to know your most intimate secrets when coming on here?
I have told friends and workmates that I come on here and they
want to know my name. And I don,t mind telling you I don,t want
anyone to recognise me!! I don,t mind giving a recipe - but!

I am looking for the study that this article is discussing.

"An article in the Science Times section of The New York Times on Tuesday February 6, 2007 about a study finding that talk therapy is an effective treatment for panic disorder"

It appeared in The American Journal of Psychiatry.

I have tried just about everything, but I still can not find the motivation to do anything that I know I should do or things I really need to do. I'm just plain lazy, but I don't want to be. Any suggestions?

I know that I have OCD, but I have this obsession where I like to hurt people and I love biting people. Do I need to see a therapist, or am I okay?

All I do is sit around and answer people's questions all day, and my husband makes fun of me. Don't tell me it's playing World of Warcraft, because then he'll be right!!!

assisted suicide...I would like to know your thoughts with respect to people who are considered competent and are in debilitating health conditions (physical or mental). You can reason in any way that you would like. I am interested in this subject for research, so I would like to read different opinions

Lately ive been feeling really depressed. I dont like talking about it. And i know that people say oh its just a phase, but this doesnt seem to be getting any better. Ive resorted two times ,already, to self harming. Dont get me wrong that i dont regret it, but im feeling so down.. thought about suicide even. I put on a show for my friends so they dont see the real thing, And i dont feel like i can tell them.
I need help !?!
Does anyone have any solutions for me feeling happier with myself ??

I was taught to never judge a book by its cover, but do you think how a person is in life, is reflected on their face? I have met many great people in life, and many not so great. It seems that the ones that are just unhappy reflects on their face and gives them a rather haggard look. Do you agree with this? It seems to make sense though that how a person lives, is shown on their face. thanks

But the real thing is that I want to become more social (not that I don't have any friends), but it's hard for me to establish new relationships. [for the last couple of yrs i have moved to differest cities/states several times]

ANY TIPS?
Thanks!

I learned something today about the human eye. I think it is life a life changing discovery that anyone can do right now.
I don't have very good vision. As all people have done through time we have to squintto try and help our vision. This squinting has led to wrinkles. It is also stressful.
My discovery is one that has the ability to see better by relaxing. I concentrate on the back of my head as a starting point I relax my eyes and it improves my vision. It works a multitude of times better than when I try and strain. Unfortuently, it takes a couple of seconds to do; I have to focus and almost meditate to accomplish it.
Of course for safety reasons I am still going to wear my glasses but I am glad I have a backup.

I usually charge thousands of dollars for this treatment, but for the Yahoo Answer community I am giving it to you for free.

I'm reading a book called "Take The Bully By The Horns," and it is giving me great insight about the difference between difficult people (which can be anyone at times) and chronically difficult people and bullies. I find it groundbreaking to actually have a book that clearly states that assertiveness sometimes comes up short when dealing with some people. What's your perspective on bullies?
