Psychology - April 2007

Hi, I have been researching this drug. I have read on many sites that the effect of LSD is around 8 hours.

However, I do not know if they are referring to a certain amount of it.

My buddy, who has tried it. Says that one tab will last about 3 hours, but I do not know who to believe.

So, what is the effect of one tab of lsd?

I have many physical symptoms. They worsen when I go to places like the grocery store. My vision gets weird and I feel like I can't focus. I have a past history of alcohol problems. I have been sober for about 2 yrs. I don't know what to do anymore though because I haven't ever had a real job, I dropped out of college, and I have tried anti-depressants and they didn't work for me even at high doses. I have also gone to therapy and read an anxiety work book. I feel very hopeless. Can anyone recommend something I could try that might help it. I used to just try and hide my anxiety. It is to the point where if I am out with a friend they notice and ask if I am ok.

My mother says that when I was miles apart from her, she knew something was wrong. She said it was 2:00 in the morning and she smelled this foul odor. She searched to see where the smell was coming from, but she couldn't find it. Around that time, I was stuck in a situation that was greatly uncomfortable and terrifying.

Just now I was feeling depressed and unmotivated and I put this song on. A song from "La Vita Bella." All of the sudden, now I'm smelling this flowery smell. I haven't taken a shower or have any perfume on. I don't have a lotion that has this wonderful, uplifting smell. It comes and goes. I wish this smell would stay with me forever. What is going on?

I smell it again!!!

She's only 5, but sometimes she can tell me what I'm thinking - and she's right! Also, when I have a song in my head, she can sing the exact part of which I am hearing! It creeps me out lol. What do you think?

I've liked a couple different guys over the years. They are either out of my league, or are in a relationship.

Whenever I find out, I always (to myself, never to their face or to anyone else) think to myself, something along the lines of "Well, why would I want you anyway? You have a weird looking (insert body part here)"

I think the reason I do it is so that I can pick out their flaws, making myself feel less like a loser for not being the person of their longing.

Does that make sense? Or am I just really messed up?

Serious answers, please.

I fear that a trend has begun, whereby it will become acceptable to elect marginal human beings to the office of the Presidency. Which begs an even deeper question: What are the significant qualifications necessary for an individual to serve as a United States President?

Not misguided or mistaken or fallen into bad company or had a horrible upbringing or has a personality disorder, but out-and-out evil in every way.

Do you even believe this is possible? I'm just interested to know if people have encountered an evil in humanity that cannot be explained away by modern psychology or sociology.

I watching Oprah and she had a show on happiness. This doctor on the show said that a lot of people have "destination addiction". This is when you think that life will be good when you reach a certain goal. I think like that all the time. I keep thinking I will be happy when I get married or get more money. How can I be happy now? Is anyone out there who makes the most of each day like they say you should?

I'm currently volunteer at the hospital, I volunteer at a gift shop. Sometimes I do my best and most the time it hurts when I help out there.
People always give me bad comments on how dumb I must be working the cash machine. Like when a man came, I scaned his items, and I was in middle of transaction, I got stuck on what he was talking about, and everybody was talking and yelling at me. He said "What? You cant do math?"
-I got really angry and confused. I've been doing advanced algbra....That's what I called true math*

I got really confused...I hate when this happens to me. My manager and co-workers say I did a great job.


I hate people when they are being crueled to others I hate them alll!!! Why does this planet has to have an unforgiving people, with heartless hearts.

So heres the question....How can I take the heat being criticized by an older person or others? What suggestions would you give.-Thanks

Hi everyone!

I've recently become a registered psychologist, dealing most with depressed and suicidal individuals. I have received many questions and comments about what perspective of psychology I belong to (both on line and on the net) and I have responded with the fact that I am a bit of a mixture of all perspectives – each perspective brings something else to the table. This got me thinking about a possible new field of research that I may be interested in carrying out. I was thinking to study the various views on depression depending on the various areas of psychology. I am asking for opinions. What is your perspective on depression: is it chemical, emotional, etc.? Why do you think so? I hope this makes sense.

By the way, not to worry, I will not be including any of this in research. I was just wondering if the general people thought it was a worth while study. Psychology is all about people. No point studying something that won't benefit them. Any questions, just conta

Ok, for the past few weeks or so I have been dreaming about this person. I don’t talk to this person at all anymore but I keep having repetitive dreams about this person. In my dream he is usually just hanging out with my friends and me. If I don’t even talk to this person anymore, why do I keep dreaming about him?

*so far* this has just been an internet & phone connection. i'm embarrassed to say, but i'm absolutely falling for (have fallen for?) this guy without even having met him yet. i HAVE seen many pictures, as well as webcam, so i know im incredibly attracted to him. (he's seen several photos of me and i know he feels the same way.)

i'm freaking out right now because he's pulling away from me over the last couple of days and i can definitely tell. he's lost interest - he just isn't the same as he was at the beginning, which was about 5 weeks ago. this has been difficult the entire time (he lives about 4 hours away), but we were planning to meet at some point and i was really serious about it. so serious i've even considered moving to his area. (lol, that sounds insane, i know... but i'd been planning to move anyway. :p)

anyway, i might know what to do if this had happened in person, but what do you do when it's over the internet?! is there anything i can do to re-ignite his interest?

I am reeling from having my PC stolen from my home. I am having some EVIL thoughts, which is NOT like me at all. It hurts because I have 7 years' of hard work, as well as personal information on there. I have a few ideas of who stole it, but I am not certain. I have a novel I've been writing on there, as well as photos and videos. The pain is very personal, and I cannot sleep because I cannot stop thinking about it! I just want it back. That doesn't seem to be a realistic expectation, and I'm scared that I might 'snap' out of frustration. Anyone have any helpful ideas?

I feel as though i can't do anything without dreaming about what i've always wished for. All i can do is think about my future. All of the hoping, wishing, and dreaming drives me crazy. I guess what really scares me is not being able to achieve what i want to before i die. Whenever i'm at home all i can do is write songs or draw. I feel that if i don't do anything my life is going to end up meaningless...the sad thing is, i actually believe that i can achieve what i want to. Everyone else around me seems to have a good time, when all i can do is worry and drive myself crazy in my own thoughts...I've never done this before until these last few months. Am i not mentally "with it"?
