Here in Y!A I've noticed we tend to stick to the categories we feel most comfortable with (ex. for some it's Psychology or Philosophy and for others it's Polls & Surveys).

I've taken to answering overlooked or neglected questions to try to help others (sometimes in subjects I was previously unfamiliar with). I'm also learning about the Discovery section of Y!A. Hopefully this is benefitting me as well as others.

I'm curious how the rest of you manage to get yourselves out of your "comfort zones". Thanks in advance.

S What do people usually major in after they get their BA in psychology, and dont intend on going to grad school
The thing is I know I'm very interested in psychology, and I want to make that the foundation of my education. My dream is to own my own restaurant one day. Im a fab cook. But in case that doesn't work out I wanted to have a degree as a back up plan. Like others I dont want to spend 8 years and more trying to obtain a pHd in Psy. Is it common for people to get a BA in Psyc while majoring in something else? Please share your personal exp if possible. Thank

If you don't get it the one that said "No" wins and that's not fair!

My husband has made wild accusations of me in the recent past, as well as threats of violence, but when I talk to him about them, he says it never happened and I must be nuts or that it was me who did that and not him, so I must have a mental problem (which I do not, and I have not imagined anything. I am entirely sane, I assure you). In my current situation, he got authorities involved with insane claims of things I never did. When I talked to him without the authorities around, he told me I imagined everything. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is that technically mental abuse? How can I prove my innocence and/or prove I'm being mentally abused if it's all just my word against his with no proof? I really need help with this...it's urgent at the moment.

I guess this would be a question for a psychologist, but when I see a word, I love to go to the online dictionary and then the thesaurus and look it all up to have a deep understanding. Is this a personality type, an IQ level or ????????????? just curious

I work on an adolescent residential psychiatric unit. We do group activities with the kids all the time, but they get bored doing the same stuff over and over again. Does anyone have any ideas for a group activity? It does not need to be therapy based...team building activities and art activities are always good. Serious responses only please! Thanks for your help.

I experience a maddening infuriating sense of helplessness brought on by the lack of control over my life. I see no way out. My parents do not let me go out with friends, drive a car, have a boyfriend, or anything else all other 15-yr-olds do. They make me stay home and study whenever I am not at school.

I told them that I have a problem and that therapy may be a feasible solution, but they do not want to pay for it and do not let me work. As long as I get all A’s and stay safely locked up at home, there is no problem.

In health class, we learned that suicide is a cry for help. I considered attempting a suicide, but fear that I might end up killing myself. Aspirin overdose is the safest available methods and is among the most common for females my age.

I considered other alternatives, like failing a class, but I do not want to sacrifice my GPA. And besides it is not a fail-proof method. They might take away tv and computer, which will only add to my helplessness.

I have to give a presentation for a class. It is a group presentation and i will have to talk in front of alot of people. I have terrible stagefright that makes it almost impossible to stand up in front of class and talk for more than 30 seconds.

I always get really nervous and i cant stop thinking about having to get up in front of everyone. Its really stupid i must say. I dont really care what people think about me most of the time, but when i get in front of people, i get really nervous and i know everyone can tell. My whole body shakes, even my lips, so it makes talking difficult. Also, i get so nervous that my heart starts beating really fast and i feel like im going to pass out. The worst part is that my breathing gets all out of wack and i cant say more than a few words without running out of breath.

Whenever we have to give group presentations, i either have someone else present my work, or i talk for about 30 seconds before i feel as thought i cant procede.

I work in a place where the "higher ups" do and say things that do not make any sense to me at all. Everything they do is backward, there is no communication, and the left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. Does anyone else have to deal with this day after day?

EVERY single time it seems i get to this ultimate feeling of happiness... that thing that is going good in my life ends. All good things must come to an end has become my motto. because seriously it happens Every time. it's like once i reach a certain point of being so happy it HAS to end. so basically i'm sick of even trying for happiness. i don't understand why this always happens.. with every aspect of my life. and i don't do anything differently or anything like that either... :(
