My friend has been diagnosed with several mental disorders, the main one being borderline personality disorder. She had a terrifying paranormal experience as a child. Well, lately, she's been having dreams about people dying....and usually, it's me. She says she's had dreams about people dying before, and she's been right twice.....and I don't think she would lie to me about that. So, I have several questions.

1. Do you know of any disorders that have anything like this as part of the symptoms?

2. Do you think she could be right about this?

3. Do you have anything comforting to say? I'm scared out of my mind at the moment.

Recently we were invited to a friend's house. Their backyard pool is very private, but we were a little surprised when their kids (teens - two girls and a boy) simply peeled off their clothes and swam nude. They were obviously raised this way and thought nothing of it, but their parents didn't seem at all concerned that guests (us) were present. We didn't say a thing -- should we have? If so, what?

Don't get the impression that we disapproved -- we thought it was sweet and innocent; the kids were beautiful and without a hint of false modesty, yet very respectful to us. We were really surprised though, not just at the naked kids but about how well they got along with each other in a very intimate setting.

What exactly can happen to an austronaut if his protecting suit gets broken or if he's exposed to the outer space without one. What are the consequences and if he's killed how exactly would he die?

Why people always say that when you do things like, playing a sport competition, having a baby, giving a speech, run a business or whatever, you should be ready mentally or u will fail?

I'm thinking of volunteering at an orphanage because I'm thinking of joining politics or being a human rights lawyer. You know, teach these kids to read and find out more about their troubled childhood.
But am I not being selfish, using them for my own gain?
But a lawyer helps people right? And in order to be a human rights lawyer i have to start by volunteering right?

My cousin is dating this horrible guy - he is a conman literally. He's disloyal, deceitful, and untrustworthy. He's always trying to undermine me when I hang out with them - he makes rude, unnecessary comments & insults me on purpose. My question is, how can I can him back in a snappish and witty way?

Things are (I think) going very well in my life, I have a great home, a great roommate, wonderful friends, a great relationship with my family & I don't hate my job.
Yet I feel a sadness or anger within myself... I don't know why tho, I find it hard to figure out what is truly going on within myself because I pretend everything is okay... after a while a part of me starts to believe it - which blocks me from talking to my inner self.
I know some of you will just say "get over it" - but I'm not truly happy... I don't want to live life just being "okay".
Can someone suggest a way to help myself?

Last night I had a dream that one of my male relatives molested me (I was about 4 years oldish in the dream), but I couldn't see his face...

my mom used to ask me questions when I was younger (she was suspicious my dad or someone was hurting me) if someone had ever touched me in a bad way, she even confronted a psychologist about it...


could this be a repressed memory?

Recently, I had a job offer that was more money (25% + more)and promotion. Because of greed of getting more money than the original offer, I held back. Because of my mistake, the deal fell through and the employer hired someone else. This has been really bothering me. It has been nearly three months now and I can't get past this. I cannot even focus on my current job and my family. I don't know what to do. I feel like I missed out and it's bothering me beyond words. I have never felt like this before. Call it crazy, but I sometimes even get to tears. Help! How can I overcome this? How would you rank this in terms of a regretful life event? Thank you for your help.

I'm 29 yrs old, healthy with a good job and nice car but I'm bored and don't know where my life is headed. I know I want change in my life, a new challenge to get my out of this rut. I trust my feelings but my feelings aren't providing the answers. All my mates are settling down and i feel isolated. They just seem to accept things, and i'm kinda envious of that. I seem to crave for something but what it is I'm not exactly sure. I want to find myself and get passionate about something. Anybody felt the same way and how did you make it through?
