Psychology - August 2007

I am very optomistic i feel everything happens for a reason but over the last 2 years things have happened that would test the strongest of minds. Do you ever say to yourself it can't get much worse then it does? I've stopped saying that sentence has I now feel i'm tempting fate or it doesn't make any difference if i do. My life in the 3 weeks: (similar to last 2 yrs)
The car stopped dead to be scrapped in middle of roundabout
My nan got rushed to hospital and now cannot walk
The washer broke down
My mum discovered she had breast cancer
My Godparent (great Aunt) (on dads side) dies
The paternal father of my 7year old daughter decided to suddenly get in touch (never once bothered) causing stress between my partner who's brought her up since 5 months, myself and my daughter.
My great aunt died leaving my nan and mum traumatised.
My 9year old neice on Sun was playing for no reason stopped breathing she is no longer with us
When will it end enough is enough please asvice????

I want to erase certain events from my memory, to forget that they even happened. How can this be done. Serious answers, please, it is VERY important for me, in order to keep living and functioning.

Think about it. Depressed people would never know that they weren't normal and 'happy' if they didn't see people who were actually happy. Then they think, 'Hey, I'm not like that.' This leds to thoughts of suicide, etc because they realize that they're not happy.

I hope I didn't offend anyone. I know that depression is a serious condition. I'm not trying to make light of it; I'm just curious if anyone else's mind works the same way mine does.

rejected of something that I can't change about myself, should I accuse them of prejudice?

Why do I love you
But hate you the same
These human feelings
Cause nothing but pain
I hate everything that you do
I have a shattered heart
You have had your share of gossiping
Throwing me off to the side
I may have been the outcast
But I wasn't the one who lyed
I feel like I am responsible to take care of you
But what everyone doesn't realize is that I have burdens too
You took away my life
Those years I always will regret
You shoved your words into my brain
Until my temper shook
I thank you for making me tougher
I'll show you emotional pain
And this time you will tremble
And slowly go down in vain
Why do I love you
But hate you all the same
I think I have a choice to make
To live my life again

Can anyone who works in psychology/neuropsychology tell me if there is anyway one can genuinely increase their IQ? Are there effective, proven methods of building on the amount you inherited genetically at birth? i.e certain exercises, techniques etc...

My 8 year old repeats things several times. He doesn't get stuck on one word (I do that, though). He will say about the first few words of a sentence and repeat it several times before getting the entire sentence out.



BTW...I'm sorry for not putting the details in my previous post........Thank you for the "warm" answers I received in my previous post. Such nice people.

Im not asking because Im trying to decide which one to be, etc. etc. Im just curious.... and Im smart enough to know you dont chose to be anorexic or bulimic, its a disease, not a diet that you use to lose 20 lbs in a week
and when i say bulimic i mean either throwing up, or abusing laxitives

Your troublesome past, which you thought you had sort of control over, has been in control all along?
Ive had trouble letting people get close, especially men due to stuff that has happened when i was younger.
The problem is i work in a pub. And the land lord said that this lad (call him x) likes me, and hes a really nice guy, so he'd get x's number for me, and that i should let him take me out sometime. I said no, cause i wouldn't know what it would lead to. The land lord then said, 'well, it might lead to him loving you'. And that absolutely terrified me, ive never been so scared in all my life, i was actually crying at the thought of letting someone get so close.
I know i cant live my life as a solitary spinster, but if ever anyone does get close, the frightened part of me, stuck in the past, pushes them away, and its push is so much stronger than my need for companionship, also i fear being hurt.
I am my own worst enemy, i know.
Does anyone else have this problem??

Is love a choice, can we control our emotions and choose to love who we want? Like if someone's a jerk, falling out of love should be easy, right?

the PsyD is a professional doctorate (just like an MD or a JD) yet it gets little respect in its field. what i dont understand is why PhD's have such a problem with PsyD's. they are basically the same thing as the PhD programs but with a different emphasis. PhD's are constantly saying that PsyD's arent well rounded and that PhD's are better trained, but how can that be when most PhD programs focus on research and the PsyD degree was created specifically because some people in the psychology community began the question PhD's ability to provide quality therapy/counseling? PhD's claim that PsyD's dont understand the science behind psychology, but PsyD's write dissertations to! and PsyD's base all of their practices off of scientific research! i think that PhDs are just as narrow in their training as PsyD's, they just have a different emphasis. what do you think? do you think PhD's have a legitimate arguement? or are they just snobs? please add your degree and state when you respond

I think they're annoying, gross, and loud, and I hate when they sit near me in restaurants and cry like ungrateful little brats. I've never changed a diaper and never want to. I find it disgusting. My boyfriend absolutely loves children. He thinks they're miracles. I honestly think I would have no patience with kids if I had my own, and I'd end up being a terrible mother. I don't know why...I have friends who have kids and they love them, and they tell me that if I have my own, all my feelings will change. My own mother was and is wonderful and patient. I don't know where I get it from, and I feel abnormal.
Does anyone else feel this way???
