Psychology - March 2007

I dreamed over a week ago that I was in the ocean with my boyfriend and we were swimming from one island to another. We were in the water but carrying along a small inflatable raft (this was the right way to travel in my dream) All of a sudden, there were sharks all around us and my boyfriend was trying to get me in the raft. I kept sliding out and then I fell backwards into the water and went in really deep. It was so deep and I was looking around and seeing the blue water and all the sharks and I gave up. I knew I had no energy to swim to the top when suddenly my boyfriend saved me and yanked me back to the surface. I woke up after this but this dream is still so vivid in my mind after a whole week. I thought this might mean that my bf and I are really good together but just two days ago he broke up with me. It was late at night, he was totally stressed out, and said he was self loathing and that I deserved better. I'm really confused about everything. Any thoughts?

What would happen if you let your sexual sub-conscious lose on the world and why don't we open up more and let who we really are out to play and experience life?

Okay, so since I was a baby, I have had a fear of heights. Not your normal heights, I mean everything from high ceilings, to malls. I am NOT afraid of the sky, I just don't know. This is so weird, and I want help NOW! Any suggestions?

When I was younger I was socially inept. My parents reasoned it was because I had never been around other little kids. But I just couldn't relate.

However, I made friends and assimilated. Now, I'm sixteen (I'm unsure in new situations and am that kid that teachers dislike they think I'm a smart aleck, I'm really not, but I'm normal) The other day in psycholoy class when took an asperger's test and I did "good" enough to get the teacher's attention.

He claims that girls aren't diagnosted as often due to better coping skills. But, I'm really good at reading people. In fact, exceptionally good. No one can lie to me and I catch everything.

He thinks it matters and wants to tell my parents, but I have 4.0, good friends ( even though I sort-of feel like I spend to much time making sure that I listen for voice changes and facial movments), and I don't see why it matters.

Should I say anything?

How long can you stand isolating yourself from your friend or family? How do you feel? What they may think of you and react to this behavior?

I was successful for 8 days eating only fruit & vegs until the day I was scheduled to weight in. I gave in & ate fast food fish, apple strudle, a whole bag of chocolates, plus another 1/2 bag of candy, etc. Though I knew I had already achieved my weight loss goal for the week, & I could get away with eating like that. But still, why not go the full 9 days as planned & have even better success? Also, when I am supposed to get up to get ready to go places in the mornings, because I don't work til afternoons and evenings, I lay there til I have to get up - leaving ONLY ENOUGH time to get ready - and no more, constantly. Then I, of course, encounter things I didn't plan for, thus causing me to sometimes run behind schedule. I consistantly wait until the last bit of time to start a project, whether packing for vacation or practicing for a presentation I am scheduled to do & I will stay up all night preparing for it. What could it be that is causing me to repeat these sabotaging behaviors?

I'm 21 yrs old. About two years ago, I moved from Massachusetts to Alabama (mainly due to my mother wanting to be closer to family). My father still lives in Mass. About a year ago I went back to MA to visit for a week. When I came back to AL I was depressed for like a month. I wanted to move back to MA so bad. This past week, two girl friends of mine came to visit me in AL for the week. We went to FL for a few days. We spent a lot of time together. They left earlier today to go back to Mass and now I feel kinda of empty and alone. I have friends here in AL, but I always feel like MA is my home and thats where my true friends are. I want to move back to MA so bad, but my mother totally disaproves. Is it normal to feel so empty now? What would you do?

An ex and I ended things very badly. We we were very close. it was special. However, something happened and he became very cold and hrtful to me. Much was involved including a child he had with someone else, before we met. I helped him thru much of this. Anyhow, we exchanged hurtful words and have not spoken in over a month or so. I didn't expect him to call me, although I hoped he would. But everyday, it ate at me, the things I said to him and the way I behaved. So tonight, I called him and I got his voice mail. I left him a message and told him that I was sorry, and that no matter what, as a friend, I only wanted him to be happy and I should have backed away, knowing a child was involved. I will admit he was wrong about much, but there was much confusion involved. I dont know what he thinks, but I feel a sense of relief. Was I stupid? Should I not have called? I also said that I don't expect to hear from him and its ok. And I think I will be, if I never hear from him again. I just

I live with an alcoholic I just adore... I don't want to live with an alcoholic anymore. But I love him... I can't help it. I'm an alcoholic myself and I haven't had a drink in two years. He does not make me feel like drinking at all. But sometimes he pisses me right off! I forgive easily... I love him!!!

Anyone else living the same kind of situation? Tell me I'm not the only one!

Oh... please don't tell me thing like: leave him, you're hurting yourself, blah blah... already heard enough of that!

"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature, and has no chance of being free unless made or kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

There's a relatively cheap summer program at FIT a few of my friends are going to. I'd like to go, but I don't think design and pharmacy really correlate with each other.

They do offer other courses as well, though.
If not Philosophy, I'm thinking..
General Psychology
Introduction to the Physical Sciences
Introduction to Biological Science

I'm really looking for anything that would look good on my college application.

I don't mean to gloat. I'm just going to a rough period myself (see my other questions to get an idea) and could use some inspiration on how to get past this.

I think to just be yourself, whether in dating or your daily interactions means to hold fast to your own personal core principles, morals, values. Everything esle is changable, or non essetial in defining being yourself; even personality changes as we grow older, what we found humorus two years ago may not be so today, etc. What do you guys think?

I'm a generally quiet person but I have a bad habit of losing temper sometimes when somone is being rude to me and screaming and cursing. Its like I go temporary insane and everyone looks at me in disbelief.
