Psychology - March 2007

Sometimes when I go to the mall or when i'm walking around I look at everyone.. and when i see all the people I say "everybody has a story." It fascinates me. The mailman. The bus driver. The cahsier. the asian lady doing my eyebrows. The homeless man i see everyday walking home...
everybody has a story of there own. A story to tell.Thats' why i tend not to judge. Everybody does something for a reason. And everybdy has a story. 6 billion stories...I am a teen who is lost... Knows what they want for the future (want to be a filmaker) but doesn't know how to accomplish it. Been through the worst things anybody can imagine. Poverty.Molestation.Homelessne... what's your story?

I constantly feel depressed,but I'm not sure if its bad enough to go and see a professional about it.(I don't want to worry my family over nothing)
I might as well say all the things I feel to give you all a general idea of the way my mind works.
I'm a 17 year old male. I know I have a good life, but in my head, I see myself as an inferior person. I could go on for days about how crap I am,so basically,I have terrible self esteem.I'm always apologizing when I do things I think are stupid,because I'm an idiot.I think about stupid things I do for weeks afterwards,and exaggerate them a lot,I'm paranoid that my friends will desert me.
Theres probably a couple more things but I also have thoughts of suicide sometimes, and self harm. I've cut myself 3 times so far, and have been making a suicide plan in my head. It worries me that I plan out all this stuff in detail (possible dates, exact areas to cut, etc)
So,are these symptoms enough to look for help from someone?I want serious answers

ve had these aweful dreams for quite some time now and its starting to take effect on me, im actualy frightend of going to sleep now. I have two re-acurring dreams. The first one is im standing on a very thin log but to me if feels very wide and at the other end of this log is my father and i have to choose to pass him and he dies or he passes me and i die. Also within that dream things dont feel normal such as sharp pins full soft and not pointed. The Second dream im having, im always being heartbroken by a girl im dating. If someone could possibly answer this question i would very much appreciate it. Thanks

When I think of a hero, I think of someone who is brave. By brave, I mean having the ability to overcome the most difficult situations and thrive. My grandma is my hero because she did just that.

For some reason this year tons of people have gone emo. Most of the people were people i everyonce in awhile hung out with and wanted to scream at them to stop but i knew they would not listen to me because i'm not really there friend or anything. Now one of my closet friends has started. (and she swears she's stopped but i can't beleive her) I don't know how to handle this. How can I make sure she stops? With out taking her to a therapist or telling her parents or something (because she trusts me not to tell them) and most of all how can I handle this news?

I am involved with an individual that can be very kind, affectionate. He has strange moods. If I say for example"we need to talk" he gets extremely irritated and gets loud.
If we have discussed something and it needs further discussion he gets loud and states "We already talked about that. His idea of a discussion is like 2 sentences.
If I remind him of something he said that came across belittling, he says He didnt say it,,,if there was a wtiness he backs down.
He claims to have a bad memory but when it is to his benefit he does not forget.
I have tried to my wits end to talk and explain my position and he refuses or cant see my point,
He has committedroad rage and said sometimes you can control people.
I ahve occasionalyy wondered if he could get violnet but has not and says he never has. any diagnosis to this personality or what?

Can you suggest an analogy to something that seems bad in isolation but when you look at it as part of a system you realize that it is good? For example: A defence attorney seems like an accomplice to a criminal if you look at him in isolation. But when you look at him as part of the justice system, you realize that a defence attorney is actually something good.

Any similar analogies?

I look at people and everyone seems happy. I work in an office and everyone seems to be friendly to each other. No one says hello to me. My roommates annoy me, I contribute it to the fact that they are a few years younger than me. So we wouldnt be on the same maturely level. I often put up a guard when around strangers and I find it difficult to trust people. When I get home from work, while my roommates are in the living room talking and hanging out. I just want to be in my room by myself and listen to my music. I am sarcastic a lot, but I can't help it. If someone asks me a question it just comes out. Am I socially withdrawn? Do I have anger problems?

I'm really shy around people I don't know so I sometimes pretend to ignore new people. I've tried but seriously can't bring myself to even look at someone I don't know at times. If someone ignored me I would definately think they were a snob. Opinions and ways to stop my little phobia/habit would be greatly appreciated.

When I talk to certain people I know well, everything is fine and my thoughts just appear and a conversation takes place. But how come anytime I talk to other people I feel blank. I hardly ever say two words. I just never get thoughts/responses/or anything that a conversation needs.

Is it good or bad? Would it be selfish to just forget your friends that died and wipe out your memory completely? Do you suffer the bad memories just to show your gratitude?

I have read pages and pages on the subject and could tell you all about each individual aspect - such as the unconscious mind, id, ego, superego and the Psychosexual stages, defence mechanisms etc. But I'm getting confused about how the theories evolved - ie what is the psychodynamic theory? Did his Psychoanalytic theories come later... eek! I know what I mean! Basically I have to discuss two major aspects of Freudian theory. I am going to write about his theory of consciousness and then about the structural model of personality. I thought I'd then go on to explain how conflict of the egos cause anxiety, which would lead on nicely to defence mechanisms - repression etc.

I've been sat here for two hours though and I can't get started! I understand individual aspects but not how they link - does that make sense!? Can't grasp what Psychodynamics is all about and how it relates - if it does!? Help please!
