Psychology - March 2007

i was just wonderin what is up with everyone these days? suddenly a lot are turning emo (all my respect). i am 14 and female i live in wales, uk. a lot of my friends and just lots of girls are slitting their wrists (but not deep enough) so they have got red marks running down their inner arm and the back of their hands. i asked a friend why she did it she said "it is fun", another said, "it doesnt hurt, i love doing it", "it relieves the pain and stress from life" and "i hate my life, this is well fun and just feels good"

i thought people did that if they wanted to commit suicide, i dont think any of these girls are brave enough or want to do that, i know life gets stressful sometimes but do you really want to DIE?! and anyway if you did want to die then take a pill or shoot yourself in the head, it is quicker and less painful. (not that i want anyone to do that)

so, Do you SELF-HARM? Do you know people that do?

thanks.

I have heard the definitions that label parts of the brain and their role.

But what is really going on?

When I remember my trip to Holland a few years back. I don't just "remember" it. I see a movie play out in my mind. I see the cafes I ate at, the expressions on our waiter's face, the canals in full color, the buildings, the smells, the taste of the food, etc.. How do my neurons generate this interactive movie in my head? How do they store these 3 dimensional scenes?

they seem to be suggesting that having emotions is bad. Are the younger generations turning into emotionless robots with the "it's all about me" attitude? Do they think showing emotion is a sign of weakness? Am I missing something?

I have had a good life so far - good wife, sons and grandchildren - but I don't know what it's all for!
Does it matter as long as I'm enjoying myself?
Is anybody else as confused as me?

From all the answers I read, I see a reflection of kindness and goodness in most people. Yet most of the questions are all about selfberatement. Is it so difficult to be kind to yourself? Forgiving and accepting what and who we are. Accepting our past and living for tomorrow. Am I making sense?

My female cousin is 16 years old and has some very peculiar ways about her. She's a real loner and she spends most of her free time in her room watching TV, reading and writing poetry and stories. She wants to be a writer and is pretty good. She gets very upset and embarassed very easily. At a family gathering, her mother had a couple glasses of wine, far away from drunk, and my cousin was so embarassed that she went into a crying fit and locked herself in her room. She's also clumbsy. She'll drop a cup of juice or something and be so embarrased that she'll cry. For some reason, I'm one of the few people she feels comfortable really talking to. She told me that in school she had no freinds and pretty much just sits quietly in class and eats lunch by herself, but she earn very high marks and is obviously intelligent. She shows no interest in starting dating and dresses like a younger child. She was on antidepressants, but they made her have suicidal thoughts.

Since Monday night (its now Saturday) I have not slept. Monday night, I went to bed at 6:30, woke up 7:30ish (really, I had didnt even completely fallasleep), Tuesday i went to bed, but my alarm clock went off, so I just got up & got dressed to go to school, Wednesday, I actually slept. i went to bed at 6:15 & woke up at 7:40, so I probably slept for an hr, but I felt SO much better. . Thursday night, very very bad; I didnt even get to my bed!! I stayed up the whole night.

The reason is I have been studying and I procrastinate a lot.
Please, I know I have a problem w/ managing my time, & sleep deprivation will seriously effect my health, but another issue has come up.

(Continued in addition details because I can't fit it.)

i am 15 years old. my mother is one of the most ignorant influences in my life, and she will never change.She never has anything positive to say about me and she is ignorant to many things in my life. There is a very high chance that i can make it very far in track and field, i have been selected to go to europe for a championship, and flat out she tells i cannot go. She has no knowledge of the event, and she doesnt want to know. So i called her ignorant. Ignorant does not mean stupid, it means not knowing about something, and in my mom's case she has no intent of knowing. It is the same thing for any problem, my mom knows nothing about a subject, but she thinks she can make an insightful decision about everything. How can you make a decision or form an opinion on something you have no idea about? i tell her she's not very supportive of me, and she is never happy with my accomplishments. this applies to school too its always why couldnt you do better? looking out for my best interests?

I feel good that I have good feelings for people that I love, I believe of my self to be decided, courageous, and persistent in the things that I do. This is why it makes me wonder how something seemly simple it is getting stuck in my throat. I hear a lot of people that they say a lot thing they don’t really feel but they know those things sound good and make them look like they are nice guys.

I am going to Hope School soon because I am not coping in mainstream. I have just come back from Tara Hospital and they say that I am slightly autistic. Is that why I am going to Hope School. When I ask my mommy why, she says because they want me to. But my social worker says something about a learning disability. Please explain this to me.

They are friends and both over 70 years old. They will yell at people in public and complain about anything. They agree with each other and yet disagree with everyone else One is generally miserable and the other is nice to people when she wants something but if something does not go her/their way she will yell at the person she thinks is responsible in public. Nobody will befriend either of them.

She seems very different if i'm not paying attention to her. We have a strong bond at times, but sometimes I just don't feel like talking. So I withdraw from everyone. When this happens my female coworker seems more withdrawn also but once I start talking again especially if it's with her she becomes her normal happy self again. I don't understand why she does this. She makes me feel guilty but I have problems because I take massive amounts of caffiene, and if I don't have caffiene in my system I crash hard and don't want to deal with anyone. But I'm not a jerk to anyone, I just get very quiet and keep to myself.
