Psychology - June 2007

I'm 17 years old and everything in my life is f*cked up.

When I was 14 I was in a car crash and I was told I would never walk again. I can walk but I have permanent injuries and I can't go and do anything I enjoy or play any sports anymore.

When I was 15 I was sexually abuse and raped by a friend of mine. Then 6months later I was sexually abused again by a family friend.

I've moved around so much and been to so many different schools. I only have one true friend and i'm pushing him away.

My parents were divorced when I was 3 and my mum told my Dad he wasn't allowed to see my brother or I again. My mother re-married and abusive gambler/alcoholic and my mum now emotionally abuses me.

I do really well at school, that's all I have. Everyone thinks I can handle my life fine but I can't.

I've lost many friends to suicide and not been there to say goodbye.

I have all these secrets and no one to tell them to. My family have such high expectations of me too.

What can I do?

My husband and I prefer to have a basic, clean, plain home, while my mother-in-law prefers to have knick knacks on every available surface. Every time we visit her home, we feel as though the rooms have closed in, because of the addition of more and more clutter. When she visits us, she tells us our coffee table needs books, framed pictures, etc. Does anyone know why people have such different feelings about clutter?

I have an eight month old son. My parents watch him while my husband and I are at work. I have a job that is pretty flexible, but, my mom isn't reliable enough for me to count on, so I need to make a change. We don't have a lot of money, and I don't trust just anyone with my baby, but we can't afford for me to stay home. I have a bachelors degree in psychology, and an associates degree in education. I am wondering if anyone knows of any jobs that I qualify for, will make a decent amount of money, and can either take my son to work with me, or work from home??? I would appreciate any career suggestions!

I have been thinking of my ex-husband a lot lately. I think that we need to sit down face to face and discuss our issues - how we want to handle our daughter, and next steps in life.

I wonder if he is also thinking of me.

We have both not been able to move on since the divorce.

I wonder if vibrations travel and that if you think of someone often they are also thinking of you.

What do you do with people who think they are the greatest at everything, or the grand master of what they do: ESPECIALLY if it is not at all true? How can you bring them down to earth?

I find that every time I talk to certain people (brother, cousin), I feel down about my life in general. They tend to be very blunt and sometimes abrasive.

I have decided not to talk about my personal life to them in particular. They don't understand what I am going through and are not very empathetic.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My cousin keeps reminding me of my mistakes and can be very rude at times.

My brother just refuses when I ask him for help.

How do you know when someone is jealous of you, do you have an experience of someone being jealous of you. I do and I think that jealousy has many, many faces!

I can't keep or make friends for fear of rejection and abandonment, so I just push them away all together and end up feeling incredidbly lonely and depressed. I have Borderline Disorder, so that's why. But I need help overcomming this. How do I stop pushing people way and start making friends?

I've noticed this happening a lot and I can't control it. Someone will look at me in the eyes and I'll looks away quick at the wall or something and if someone talks to me all I think is "why is this person talking to me" "make it stop" It drives me crazy. I want to get better. I don't like not being able to talk to someone while looking them in the eyes. I can't even really look someone in the eyes without talking to them either.
I'll ask the teacher at school a question or something and I wont even listen to see what the answer is. I can't control it. I need help.

In other words, to know that you could make the best of the talents you have but, not to want to pursue them-mostly because you don't want to push yourself and work hard.

I comfort eat whenever I am bored, lonely... any type of negative emotion. I went to the psychiatrist before for depression/self harm but it was only once a month for a year and I couldn't open up. It didn't do much for me.

I don't want to be this fat and unfit. I diet and lose up to 8lb, then something upsets me and I gain the 8lbs back again... its such a hard cycle!

Is my GP likely to refer me, especially as it didn't work before and I haven't been through any major traumas, I just feel a bit emotionally neglected (although from a "good" family and it isn't their fault). What would the psychiatrist do with me? Him suggesting I think "postive thoughts" instead of negative ones, was hardly a helpful suggestion last time (CBT - I think) would it be useful if I tried again?

Thanks

My boss told me today that I'm over sensitive. I'd never have described myself as such and I'm not sure how to remedy it. Any ideas what I can do to remedy this character trait?

Samantha pointed the pistol at the bartender's left elbow and said, "One sudden move and your funny bone goes kaputie!"

Suddenly through the front door came a pack of wild dogs, growling and barking and bearing their fangs. Surrounding Samantha, Billy the Bartender whispered, "Not so macho now missy, huh?" Then he whistled in a loud cadence.

The dogs all jumped up on tables and stood at attention. Once again Billy whistled a slightly different cadence. Each dog started doing the hustle on the table. When they slid sideways each doberman would make a bark. Together all the barks turned into the tune from Good Golly Miss Molly by Little Richard from 1958.

"OK ya got me," Samantha exclaimed. "I will let you go this one time. But there is a request I have."

"What is it?" Billy asked

"___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________," she said chuckling.

Some, of u may read my previous '?' about my issues at work.THis cute female who is 17,and she knows that i like her.Well,when my boss put her in a position that i requested to and she only work there less time than i have and not really quick as me.Then,i was upset and mad at my boss about it.And i started to tell some of my co-workers about that problem saying that the reason my boss put her there is because she's a female.And she probably heard what i said,and i feel that she either feel guilty about it or she doesn't like me anymore.I even told her buddy about it when she asked me 'what's wrong?' I"m just hoping that girl that i liked forgive me for what i said.I know it wasn't her fault for being cute and appealing.When i saw her yesterday and she came and got her check i said hi to her softly and looked at her in the eyes. Then,she looked down and didn't say much.I feel she didn't want to look at me in the eyes maybe she heard the story,or maybe she felt embarass.
Thanks guys.

If so, do you let it hinder you or get in your way, or have you figured out a way to overcome it? Who's more shy by nature anyway, guys or girls?!
