Psychology - April 2007

I'm 16 right now and I've been going through some transitions. I've had friend problems that I dealt with. I've been doing terribly in math, which worries me. I'm realizing that I don't really have anyone who's close to me that I can turn to. As a result, I'm often found locked in my room listening to music for days at a time... My pet recently died... But what's worried me most is my loss of motivation. I used to work so hard without any problems or complaints, but now... Now it's like a struggle to get anything done. Homework and school are a burden that I too often cast off. My art has gone down the toilet, no inspiration. I find myself unconsciously distancing myself from people constantly. I'm irritated with everyone and every little thing that goes wrong. I hate it. Am i just going through one of those 'teenage' phases, or is this something more deeply rooted?

I'm feeling so depressed. I'm 17 and when I was 14 I was in a car crash and I was told I would never walk again. Because of physio I can walk but i'm still in large amounts of pain.

I use to be really fit and play sports but now I'm in so much pain I cant do what I use to. Walking even hurts.

My physio and doctor told me that I won't make any more improvements and I'm going to have problems with my back and neck for the rest of my life.

This is so depressing for me and I've become so self conscience.

I would love some advice of how I can get healthy and have my old body back again.

When she was 15, she was dumped by a boyfriend. He ditched her for a girl who for some reason tried to beat her up at school.
My daughter got really upset and tried to kill herself. When I took her to the hospital ER, they sent her to the psychiatric unit at a nearby hospital for counseling and we found out she had been cutting herself up.
That was over 4 yrs ago, and now I would like for her to move on with her life. She is 19 and tells people she has psychiatric problems and she cannot get a job, go into the military, almost not able to get a drivers license because she keeps telling people she is a psycho, almost like she thinks its cool.
She has serious maturity issues and about drives me nuts. How can I get her to knock it off? I want her to get full time employment, go into the navy or do something besides what she is doing which is sitting home all day, reading poetry and being goofey acting.

I am 19 years old and have just left the Air Force Academy. It was my only goal in high school to be accepted to the Academy and it was quite a shock when I was finally admitted. My congressman actually called my school to inform me himself and an article was published in the paper. I made it through Basic (boot camp) and the first semester, but I never really liked it and people there hate me. I finally realized that it just wasn't for me. I still can't help wondering if I made a mistake. Were my reasons for leaving good enough? What do I do now? I am going to go back to school, but I have no idea where. I don't seem to like any of the other schools I applied to. I was thinking of going to school in CO (such a beautiful state!) but I don't know...I'm from MA. I feel lost and hopeless now that my one goal that I worked so hard to achieve has turned out to be a nightmare. To give you an idea of how hard I worked/how bad I wanted it: I lost 40 pounds to get there. What to do now?

I would really like to know why when you do something for a woman that it seems to flip a switch in them into liking you. At work all I did was be nice and helpful like I always am. I helped out this one woman and now she is always flirting with me.

Another instance at work is I was leaving at 7 and I asked the 3 ladies there if they need anything and one of them wanted me to get something at McDonalds. So it was on the way and I was going out shopping anyway. Then like from then on she was always sitting next to me in the break room with her foot practically on top of mine. (Made me wish I was a pig and start something with her)

I have had a lot of big problems recently including TV Licensing whose Enforcement Officer entered my house without my permission and broke all their rules of conduct and guidelines.

Also I have been on the cochlear implant program for years and the week before last was told by my specialist that Wales was denying cochlear implants to adults living in Wales, so there was the trauma of that and trying to get my MP to help and he wrote a letter to the Welsh Assembly on my behalf, and trying some other things to do with this.

So I was really tired and stressed. Coming away for the long weekend, even though it was also to help my daughter with a car boot to get rid of her belongings as she is moving to Australia to work.

Somehow my batteries have recharged and i have loads of new ideas and projects i want to do now.

So why is it you have to get away to be able to do this?

One of my favorite Aunts has been diagnosed with Bi-Polar disorder. What exactly is it? How do you know you have it? And how do they test for it?

Sometimes I think sex is demanded by body....and simetimes it is demanded by mind....what do you say ...which one rules....if we come out with clear answer then we may think of mastering the art of controlling body / mind. So I need your views on this.

I don't want anyone to feel sorry for me. I'm a white male. Twice a complete racist stranger snuck up behind me and broke my jaw eleven years apart for no reason and no one paid for the crimes, adding to the fury I feel. After numerous surgeries where the doctors only added to the problem, I am left virtually useless in the working world unable speak or even breathe properly. My jaw feels like it's in a vice and most of the facial and neck muscles in the left side of my face are useless. I served my country for three years in the military. No medications deal with the nerve damage and I am struggling to keep my spirituality and my sanity. I keep busy as often as I can, but all I feel is anger and resentment for those responsible. I have no respite for the pain and I can't find a way to find my spiritual self.

If you beat the **** out of me right now... I would be happy. If I were to get sick and come down with the flu right now... I would be happy. If I were to get trashed and then have a hangover so bad the next day that I am vomiting stomach acid and feel deathly ill... I would feel happy. I would feel happy because I feel like that is what I deserve. I push anyone who tries to help me out of my life and I don't know why. I try to stop it but i just can't, and at the end of the night it just leaves me lonely and in so much pain I am crying myself to sleep. Can someone explain this for me? Why do I do this?

Hi, I am a first time "caller." Hehe. (nervous laughter at the joke)

All my life I've been shy and sensitive. I also have a low self-esteem. I'm able to talk with my family and the few friends that I have. It's hard for me to make friends. I don't talk much until I get to know someone better. I haven't been on a date or been able to ask someone out due to my shyness. For example in grade school I had a crush on someone. I did nothing about it and we lost connection. We then became friends again and after tons of advice I was gonna try to ask her out. I found out she is in a serious relationship. I moved on as I am not the type to ruin relationships. I am also shy in thinking I am too thin and in need of more muscle (arms, chest, stomach). I'm self-conscious of my body. In gym class I'd always change in the stall vs with all the other guys. Fully-clothed in public always. Also I blush easily.

How do I beat this shyness, low self-esteem, and self consciousness?

Thank you,
Justin (22)
