Psychology - June 2007

I had just gotten up to get ready for school & I turned on the tv to watch the weather. They broke in for a special report & at that time, only one of the towers had been hit. So basically we watched it as it happened. It was terrifying...I called my mom & she hadn't heard yet & all I said was "turn on the tv--now"..There was such an eerie feeling in the air that day. The sky was overcast & everyone was talking & sad & totally flabbergasted at what was happening.

I mean like a 1/2 hour, *Full Force* fit over something she will later admit is not important.

***THIS IS NOT A PMS ISSUE, THESE EPISODES ARE 3-4 MONTHS APART AND DO NOT SYNC WITH PERIODS***

They are extreme enough that if I had a tranquilizer gun, I would drop her. Yet when she's done she says "Oops sorry" and goes on as if nothing has happened and wonders why I'm freaked out.

Is this a *Chick thing*? is it a mental illness?
I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced anything like this?

With the exception of these rage fits , she seems to be fairly normal.

Over the past eight years or so my life has changed. I basically put everything on hold for my family and now that they have moved, I feel as if I am so far away from where I should be. I have lost myself, I don't even know myself anymore, and on top of it all I lost contact with my most of my friends. I feel so alone and lost. What should I do? I hate the way I am and long to live.
Serious answers only please :)

It seems like everyone complains about their childhood and according to shrinks all our problems stem from our lousey childhoods. Does this mean everyone is psychotic in some way? I am 49 and I have only had 1 person tell me they had a great childhood.

i'm 15 years old, and i'm always pissed off. like for example today, i was in such a good mood, i was studying for my finals, and then my 18 year old sister came home. She started blasting her music and i couldnt concentrate on studying my 18 chapters for my spanish final. I asked her multiple times if she could turn it down...not even off just down, and she fliped a **** on me. now i'm not to great at spanish so i'm really trying to study hard and do well. this really pissed me off, and then my friends called and asked me if i wanted to hang out with them. i said i couldn't and they were all bullshit you're not doing work you're probably just slacking off. this really pissed me off because i was doing work and really trying hard to do well. i told them that and they still didnt believe me so i hung up on them. and during my 3 weeks of finals, my sister has been having friends over and keeping me up til 330 am. so im running on exaustion and under a lot of stress, what can i do?

I hate that. It'll be so quiet and I'm the only one with the sniffly nose and the stomach that goes, "Grrrrrr... Erccc..." Like yesterday during my math exam, I did both of those above. Plus there were wierd sounds that would "go off" inside of me... It'll sound like bombs over bahgdad in my tummy. I can't stand that stuff, it is freaking embarrassing and plus sometimes it doesn't feel good to have stomach ache during a 3 hour test.

I can't stand myself. I am 17 years old, 1400 SAT, IQ of 135. I am the lonliest person I know. I have had one meaningful relationship, 2 years ago. It ended with her going to my best friend, who is still my best friend. Every situation since then has caused me to go start defining things in black and white. E.G, if a hear a car coming, I will say to myself "if it is a light color -- this girl likes me, if it is a dark color -- she doesn't like me." I'll count the change in my pocket and do the same thing based on even or odd numbers. Often I become really depressed and think of how much better my life could be. I have one close friend, and a few not-so-close ones. I used to be a very outgoing person, but now I just keep to my self, and sleep through school. My GPA is roughly a 2.2, and I KNOW I can do better, even if I set goals for myself I can't follow them however. If it helps, I don't do any drugs, and rarely drink. I used to smoke, but quit. Why am I messed up like this?

A) Growing up in a very unstable house with alcoholic parents who spend all their benefits on beer leaving not much money for food. Living in a very deprived neighborhood without much prospects of a good education. Often getting smacked for petty things but always having your parents their when you needed some affection and love. Being in a family. A life of crime.

B) Growing up in a foster family who live in a reletivly nice neighborhood, eating nice food and having clothing allowances and activities paid by social services, a decent education. Being disliked by your foster family and constantly reminded you are a bad child for being taken into care. Always looked down upon. Never being able to feel you belong to the family, not allowed to decorate your bedroom to make it personal, every christmas getting told your nice expensive presents are only yours while you like there. Growing up resentful and loney.
