Psychology - June 2007

I feel like life is going so fast. It won't slow down. I'm happy but i'm getting more depressed b/c of the thought of death. And being old and not being able to do much.

I just want to live with no fear of that. Everyone has a fear, but I'm only 15!!! Why do I feel like this! I think about death and growing up and everyone I love dying too. It's something I think about all the time and everyday. You have no idea. I want to think of something else. Something a teen can think about. So I don't have to feel like this. I feel 80!

I even thought of suicide to end the pain of growing up and losing the ones I love. The thought of all of it is to hard. I don't want to commit suicide. I'm not a fan of giving up.

Graduation. Getting 18 and getting out of my house, my childhood home. Dealing with my loved ones deaths. Turning 40. Getting older than that and being to old to be, to be a kid again and have fun.

Alzhiemers. That could be my biggest fear.

I have gone through a lot of emotional trauma in my life, as I grew up amongst abusive people who treated me differently and rejected me when I would stand up for myself. I want to move on with my life and forget that chapter of my life, but when my mind goes idle, or I'm working on some menial task, playing a handheld game or putting together a puzzle or any other brainy exercise, somehow all of those memories do come flowing through my mind to the point that I'm starting to associate the task with a certain unpleasant memory.

Does this happen to other people, if so what have others done to push such memories away?

I am no aware of any research which rules genetic ways of relating to one another. What if disorganised attachment styles for example are the result of genetic transference rather than attachment interactions?...

the only way to rule this out is to check twin studies or to switch babies in the strange situation test and to allow them to grow up with different genetic mothers. obviously this type of test is unethical. know what i mean? what do you think??

(Lucid dreaming is when you're in a dream but you know you're dreaming and you control what you do).

I've looked it up and I've even seen a TV special on it but I can't seem to figure it out. I also bought The Little Black Book of Dreams, from Barnes & Noble and it kind of helps and has a bunch of interesting facts.

But I was wondering if anyone has something that has really worked for them? What helps you remember a dream, and how do you dream lucidly?

Also, does anyone know if there are any negative effects to trying to remember dreams or dream lucidly? (That might sound silly, but tell me anything you know, please).

It's so weird. Is it real or just illusions?
I've never believed in magic or all that mind-freaky stuff.

isnt the best solution for him to go back to how he used to be?
how do i ask him to do that?
i dont want to be mean or sound selfish,
but that sounds like the best plan..

Men have said the usual things to me over the years (you have lovely eyes/ hair/ legs/ feet etc) but the one thing that stood out above all the others was something my friend Roger said to me. He said I was like the daughter he never had & if I had been his daughter, he would have been really proud of me. Wow, that really touched me to the core of my being. I had a lousy father so these words were like music to my ears. And I knew he meant it so sincerely.

Has someone touched you with something they said?

“Every time you add a child, you’re diluting the intellectual environment of everyone in the family."

That statement was made by an expert regarding the IQs of older and younger siblings in families. If he is right, only stupid people have lots of children and everyone in the family gets exponentially dumber with each additional child.

What do you think about this?

I am a music teacher and went to see my new colleague at the school I will be leading music at next year, she seemed to be impossible already on the phone 2 days ago, when I met her today my fears were justified, she speaks non-stop and never gives me a chance to get a word in edgeways, when i try to ask her to concentrate on one thing she just keeps on talking, it took me 2 hours to get the information I was trying to get from her, that would have taken no longer than 30 minutes with a normal human being, I realize this is a horrible thing to say but I feel I am going to be so tired with her next year, what am I going to do!!!!!!!!!!!!!??????????????????????

If there are any psychologists or psychiatrists out there, what do you think of the contention that DID or MPD is really just a manifestation of borderline personality disorder, anxiety, etc., and doesn't actually exist as a disorder in its own right?

I've recently read some pretty convincing debunkings of past accouts of DID that were relied upon to establish the existence of this disorder. As a result I no longer believe it exists. I don't mean to suggest that people don't suffer from some of the symptoms associated with it, but just that as a discrete diagnosis it isn't valid.

I feel the same way about some currently fashionable physical "disorders," too, but it's mostly based on my own reading and thinking and I'd like some professional viewpoints if possible.

Thanks for your time!
