Psychology - February 2007

Somehow I gradually grew into this situation without being aware of it. I went from different study programs, living in dormitories and with roommates for half of my life. Now I realize that I am 34 years old, orphaned, estranged from the rest of my family, single, a foreigner and living alone, with no friends. I lost my gf/best friend due to my carelessness. I can't go back to my home country and don't know how to go forward. What would you do ?

I really don't want to deal with life's crud anymore, but I think that it's really unfair to put my family and friends into as much pain as I am in over my death. I don't want to hurt them, and I've seen what a suicide does to that person's family. please help.

There will be sad songs that makes you cry and love often does. Something so bad could go wrong at any time to anyone of us. When we listen to sad songs at that time why do we cry? Do we put ourselves in the situation of the songs that we listen to or is it the words that get to us?

But suicide isn't an option.

I find it hard to not be bored when im not with some one. I always need that social interaction. I know not everyone is this way, so why could it be that I am this way?

Serious answers please!

I remember from my college psych class in which a control group of several people picked straws from a series of photos. The shortest straws were to be selected, but one person, the subject, knew that the group were picking the wrong straws (longer ones), but went along with the group decision so as not to be embarrased.

I met this woman about 5 week's ago. I've developed deep feeling for her. The problem is I was honest and told her how I felt. She's explained to me she wants to keep seeing me. But, at a slower pace. She's scared, she believes I will hurt her. I've explain I will not. Her last boyfriend did leave her with know reason. And her feeling for me are not as strong as mine for her. I'm trying my best to give her space. My phone calls are about once or twice a day and we're seeing each other now only about once a week. I find it very hard not to see her more often. I wish for our relationship to last a life time. I feel, I must do as she ask and at her pace. This is very difficult for me what can I do?

One of my friends says she'll never be able to look at a screw driver the same after watching "Secret Window". Another says he gets nervous when walking in front of cars because of a Stephen King story. I have a (slight) thing about porceilin (sp?) dolls because of a story I read online.
Have you ever been "traumatized" by a movie or book, and if so how?

Why is it when I get up early in the morning, than go back to sleep, my dreams are really strange and very vivid? And while I'm laying there I'll get these feelings like I can't move and I'm gasping for air while my eyes are closed?

you? I felt that way today and I am in college. I have so much relational stress and a huge fear that I'm not good enough or smart enough to accomplish my goals. Do you ever feel that way?

Although I have known him since 1st grade, he and I didn't even take notice that the other existed. At the beginning of the school year we ended up in a few classes together. I sat next to him in math and science, and he started teasing me. He would bump my arm, while I was writing, steal my pencil and paper, and we would end up kicking eachother and hitting eachother. Once, durring a lesson, we were trying to break eacother's wrists and fingers under our desk, and the teacher noticed we were looking under the desk instead of up at him. We didn't see him but he was standing right above us looking at us. Out of nowhere he says, "How cute. They're holding hands." So, my question is, if he teases me all the time like calls me 'crippled' cause of my broken arm does that mean he likes me?

I don't have a real problem with homework it is just that I am not in the mood to do it. Also, I am not afraid to admit that I am just plain lazy when it comes to homework and that I can't stand it. Anyone have any advice on how to make homework funner?

I heard somewhere that about 80% of people who go into psychology end up commiting suicide after a few years in the business... is this true? if not, then what is the percentage? I'm interested in going into psychology, so I would kinda like to know what I'm getting myself into.

I have felt depressed for about a month straight when I was trying to find a way for everyone to be happy. (Mother knows of me and fiance living together before marriage in June). I have come up with an idea to make everyone excepting. But now I feel guilty about everything unless I tell my fiance, especially sexual things not related to us, but related to others. It happens at random without me trying to trigger it. I have a new job. Previous job, my mind was always trying to solve someone elses issues (call centre for 3yrs). Now I am graduated, moved from parents and work in a lab were there is hardly any problems to solve, so my mind was always working. I take St. John's Wort, I am hearing mixed things about it. Its only been 3 days on it, some say to wate 2 weeks. I feel hopeless at times, I feel sad, I feel guilty, but no death thoughts, I have thought things like how worthless I am and how much pain I cause to others and how life may never be the same again. What to do?
