I hum!

I hum ALL the time, and I am driving myself crazy!

I hum when I eat, I hum when I am watching TV, I hum when I am on the phone. I hum when I'm driving, working, bathing, trying to nap, playing tag with my snooze alarm, working in the yard, and in between my own sentences when talking to others.

I am humming now while I write this, and I will be humming later while you read it. If I'm awake, I am humming.

I've been doing it for years and I have tried to stop but I can't. The instant I stop monitoring myself and saying 'don't hum, don't hum...' I start humming again.
How common is that?
What causes it?
Is it some kind of nervous tic?
How can I STOP?!? Any thoughts or advice would be welcome.

it works with any one I have ever tried. And I have care about them in some level.. and I might have thought I am in love with very few of those man too. I used to pick a guy from the crowd who thinks he is all that and a player make him fall in love and back off giving him a test of his medicine.. anyway recently I met someone and for the first time I feel I am really in love and it is scaring me a lot. When I am not with him I think about him all the time and I miss him madly. But when I am with him I find it very hard to let him know how I feel and I feel like I got time maybe later and then at the end of the date I feel bad for taking too much time and leaving him a bet confuse if he is a friend or more. And I always feel the butterflies.. when I want to call him.. dialing the number like over and over till I finally hit the on button on the phone..

any advice how I can fight these feelings?

My parents haven't worked in about 12 years. If I meet someone I really like what should I tell him. I'm afraid he will judge me because of my parents. In my cuture woman usually don't work and my father hasn't worked for certain reasons. What should i tell people when they ask me what my parents do. I'm tired of lying. My parents tell em not to tell the truth. They will find out eventually.

My boss is always asking me for advice because I happen to be more knowledgable than him. He gets all the credit and I get little recognition. Even the supervisor praises him and I'm never acknowledged. I've tried to act dumb, but the boss won't buy it, and just gets mad. I can't quit. What should I do?

(Being in the psych section I figure the maturity of this question would not pose a problem.)
I am a 30yo gay male (in case that is relevant)

I have my fair share of adult-themed dreams but have noticed that I always, and mean always wake up before their is an "ending." Is this normal for these type of dreams to never finish, and any logical reasoning behind such dreams?

I'm 15, cut and injure myself, and often have suicidal thoughts and tendencies. I also have a lot of anger in me, and fight with my dad a lot. For a little while now, I've been wanting to get better, but because I'm not in driver's ed yet and don't have a car, I can't really get any counseling (though I would probably have a hard time talking to someone else about this stuff face to face), or get any medication for it. Also, I'm not sure how I could even get any of that since a bill would probably be sent to my home or be put on my dad's account or bill or whatever at the doctors.

Is there anything I can do to help myself without my dad knowing?

im awaiting a second opinion, and im worried about what i'll do, if the psychiatrist says i dont have a mental illness again. when i strongly feel my symptoms are the result of an imbalance or mental illness. im 29 now and have been suffering since 15. ive gone on for so long without any help. i have a cpn now. my moods are constantly low, i feel lethargic, i have feelings of hopelessness, despair, emptiness, helplessness everyday..ive socially isolated myself in my flat. i have incredable amounts of anxiety which stop me from going out. when i have to go out, i have panic attacks, and sweat, i cant concentrate on what im doing. and i get inner rage feelings which are overwhelming, its like im fighting to stay in control. in the past, ive lost control countless times in crowded public places, and acted out, barged and knocked people over. my perception seems to become distorted, i feel numb and detached, i have paranoid ideas to. i have alot of anger towards people to. because

It started when i was real little. I know i couldn't have been older than three. I started seeing outline of little things dancing in circles around me. That didn't last long though. Then came voices. Not actually conversations, but sometimes someone would call my name.My nightmares. Have always been with me. Theres not a night that goes by, that I don't have a horrific nightmare. Thats not all. The bad feeling I would get every time i went up my grandmothers stairs stayed with me. Even after I moved out. I don't know what it is but when I was younger, and I would take naps . I always woke up to my stuffed animals being rearranged in my bedroom. I have talked with two of my dead friends in my dreams. And my greatgrandmother... But the presence seems to have followed me around my whole life. I have never slept sound my whole life. Now, my greatgrandmother,was a native indian. And was known for seeing the dead. She told us about her encounters.3 where at the house when it started with me

I was recently watching an old episode of SEX IN THE CITY and one of the girls was having phone sex, is that a very common thing nowadays?

Where someone is normal until you say one seemingly trivial thing, then they freak out. Every time you mention this word/phrase, they get very upset but won't say why. It's more of an angry reaction than a fearful one.

I had a dream and there was this most.. precious white tiger I've ever seen. I believe it was a male. I don't remember if it talked, but I talked to him. And we were on a bed and we were cuddling and then I suddenly took off my clothes. And then we went to sleep and the tiger was so warm but we didn't do anything weird.. but I think I might've had affection towards this tiger.. maybe lovers? What does this dream mean?
