Psychology - June 2007

During a get-together with colleagues, that's how someone described me over a few glasses of wine in my presence, obviously meaning well. But... is being "laconic" a good thing?

my sister has acted like this for a long time now but recently it has gotten worse,( please dont tell me to get her help I have tried over and over and she dosnt want help, she dosnt think anything is wrong). Anyway the problem is that she likes to cause other people pain and likes to play sick ritualistic games, she likes to hurt others and then sit back and watch them suffer!! She hurts children too but she always covers her butt before any child service agencies can catch her, then when she gets away with it she braggs about how badly she hurt the innocent child. She just likes to play tourture games and then watch how the person or child reacts and you can see it in her eyes its like she gets off on it. And yes I have been around and witnessed this! I know what needs to be done I just want to know what might be wrong with her????? and what kind of person am I really dealing with here?

filled with, abuse, mental/physicall, hurt, trauma, pain and victimisation?
im 30 have suffered all this throughout my life, i have bpd, ive never had my needs met, never had a girlfriend, never been employed.
now i have to try and pick up the pieces of my lonely life, i wait for therapy. every night i sit in my apartment with little posessions feeling very sorry for myself.
and then i see others around me, fresh faced and vibrant, with huge grins and smiles, living their lives, getting their needs met...seems to all come easy to them, i see it when i browse, myspace profiles, watch television, gameshows,( audiences laughing and grinning) whenever im brave enough to go outside, i see happiness and fullfillment in the shopping mall...
i see all that..and i have to endure fire and brimstone and sheer mental hell and loneliness

I see and hear things that aren't there. Ionce heard a lady scream when the TV was off and my mom was reading the newspaper. Nobody screamed, my mom said when I asked her. I also saw a black puppy with its tail wagging in the master bedroom when we didn't have a dog, and I saw my dog standing in my bedroom doorway when she was out in the backyard. I also hear my parents calling my name when they didn't, and I heard a frog croak once when we didn't have an amphibian in the house.

this person has given me a serious case of the butterflies, i find myself thinking about "X" every morning I wake up. Sometimes I cant even focus until I just think about "X". I am mortified by the idea that my obsession has gone this far, and I need to control it now before it ruins our friendship.

Growing up everytime I got a scrap my mom would turn instant hypocondriac and take me to the hospital saying I need stitches. Now as a grown up I constantly feel like I'm dying and that something is always wrong with me. I really do hurt but is my brain causing it? How can I stop this? It's not fair to the people around me...if I was them I would be going nuts! I get so worked up over medical problems I could have I make myself want to cry. I just want to enjoy life. I think my main problem is I don't know how to take care of me health wise. Money and lie I'm good....when it comes to health and checkups that we need in our lives I'm clueless...therefore it leads me to thinking I'm dying(NOT LITERALLY PEOPLE!) Any ideas on what to do?

handle this? especially if you have pride and dont like the fact youve had to suffer alot of pain and trauma at the hands of others......its not like you can deny it happened, it makes me so angry, because i feel my ego and pride are dented, i get angry at any percieved vunerability i have, how can i deal with the fact people have hurt me alot and treated me so unfairly throughout my life?
i wish i hadnt of gone through anything in my life, i feel angry about it, i wanted a happy , carefree life, and i never got that,
so what can i do? im 30 now, have bpd, borderline personality disorder and im on a waiting cue for therapy,
i wanna soldier on & deal with this, but i cant help but feel angry, upset, resentfull, bitter about what ive been through, but then, i get angry at myself for feeling these emotions, because i wana be strong, 100% of the time, regemented, i wanna fight it, fight it,& emerge the otherside.
how can i feel about all this? that ive sustained alot of mental damage?

So many men see us as something other than what God intended us to be for them, thus not respecting us in the process...why is it so hard for them to see us as that vital missing piece to their lives? Many men do not realize how fragile our feelings are and when they hurt us, they have no remorse...blaming our complexity instead of seeing why we are really hurt...Do they not realize how willing we would be to follow them to the ends of the earth if they just chose righteously? Ok, that is several questions...sorry...do the best you can...lol

Most of us have heard that worry is a waste of time. Do you agree?

Why is it then that we realize this, yet we worry about things anyway?

I am deaf, and teenager, when I meet my mother's boyfriend's family, in two years, they alway walk around and said "Hi" to me, that all, I meet hearing teenagers, they know that I can read-lip, but still hang out with others, alway talking others, and not to me. Plus I remember last week, when I was walking and saw there old lady who was struck with key in mail, I was tried to explain her that I can help her to open mail, she know I am deaf, that she answer me "No thank" then I replay ok then walk away and look behind that other hearing guy was help her to open, that way I am treated like an outcast...

Do you have a Phobia for anything? Personally i have a real phobia for really deep water and sharks. One time when we were sailing in the med in our yacht, there was no wind. And we thought it would be a cool idea to go swimming. There was not one around. When i got in, i thought id look underneath and it was just like a vortex..because it was so deep and you couldnt see anything. I immediatly thought something like a shark might be underneath me and my legs turned to jelly. Also i get really freaked out when ever movies on sharks on. And i even freaked out on a game once. Lol its quite funny...god im sad. Please tell me thats not sad.

Anway what about you!
