Psychology - August 2007

Before Y/A I used to be hooked on wikihow. Recently, the beginning of '07 I questioned if I was really being myself. I think back now on it and I was myself but in a younger version, so I couldn't go back to that. How can I re-discover who I actually am personality wise? Can someone give me an owners manual guide or something because this is really becoming an issue to me.

I have been looking on the internet about how men need women more than women need men and how a woman has so many attriubutes and strengths in her that a man does not emotionally and practically I wonder is a woman really a totally self sufficient being and that is why she is able to make a life and give more life and does a man just take life and is a totally needy character? I have had a terrible childhood and am very sick mentally and feel like an empty wreck I also believe I am not a proper woman even though I have a man I love but I feel a woman does not need love in fact she only needs to give and this is because she has everything inside her the fountain of life whereas a man is hopelssly inadequate. But I feel so much empyness in me and inadequacy I feel women are just amazing and they can do anything and need nothing because they have it all anyway. That is why a man goes after a woman to get what he hasnt got why does a women need anything

I grew up thinking that people that tried to commit suicide were somehow very different from me. I never believed suicide would be an option. I guess I was happy and couldn't imagine pain that would lead one to suicide. I don't believe in heaven or god so death seems like such a last resort to me.

Despite all this I took an overdose yesterday. I was upset about not having enough friends, and my girlfriend and I are broke up now so I've lost that foundation. Without sophie in my life I don't feel like I have much direction, and despite having two parents and sisters that love me, and 1500 dollars in the bank somehow doesn't console me.

Looking at the News and Events category... I agree with many who say that they believe there is something very odd about this whole case (ie the disappearance of poor little Madeleiene McCann), and my opinion is that there is more to it than meets the eye.

I know, however, that this is my OPINION. I know we get worked up about this case, but I find it very disturbing to see so many people shouting about "THE TRUTH" and claiming that their opinion is undisputable fact.

Does nobody else accept that no matter how suspicious we may be about events of that day, the fact of the matter is that we weren't there? We therefore do not know for certain what happened?

Why are people getting abuse for pointing out this rather important fact????

I've been really down on myself lately for all of the ways that I fail. If you genuinely try to be good, how can you not be discouraged when you fail to meet your own ideals?

I think I may have depression but I am not sure. I was just wondering if ,based on my symptoms, I should talk to my doctor. Please make your replies kind and constructive!
I feel sad all of the time even when I think I should be happy it's like a constant feeling of hopelessness
Things I used to find funny I don't find funny anymore
I feel alianated from my friends and family
I sometimes consider life to be only a pain that lives inside of me a heavy heart
if you think that I honsetly need help then tell me because I feel so lost I just really need a strait honest answer

It’s like when I buy a lotto ticket … I genuinely think I’m going to win; but rarely do. This person is notorious for creating promises they can’t keep. In doing so, I suspect they are making these promises to feel acceptance … but they always promise more than what they can do … which is only jive talk. Anyways, I always believe them and get left with empty hopes & promises … how do I stop myself from this pattern?

My brain feels fried, and mentally, I feel like a zombie after work. I can't even give my girlfriend the attention she deserves, because I'm so brain dead from thinking so hard all day. What can I do to un-fry my brain, and be more "there" after a long day at work?

I know that children have security blankets and maybe that is the most similar thing i can think of to this situation.

I have a friend who is apparently using her pillow as a comfort object. She is in her 20's. It's not like she drags it around or anything, but she definately needs the pillow to sleep. She says that the smell and texture and coolness of the pillow and pillowcase make her feel better when she is stressed out.

I'm looking for more information on this online for her. I dont think that this is necessarily a bad thing, i just think its something that needs to be looked at, and i'm having trouble finding anything online, maybe because i dont know exactly what to call it. All info on "comfort objects" or "security blankets" is based on children.

Any CONSTRUCTIVE advise/opinions?

Does eating much make them happier?

As for me, eat or no eat, I feel the same numbness. Every day's just another hell hole for me to face.

Eat or no eat. Just the same for me.

I'm asking this because I hear from somewhere that fat people are happier.

big exam 6 months from now, lose weight, find love, heal my sicknesses, find a job etc. Most of the affirmations, meditations, subliminal cds etc only focus on one problem at a time. How do I do all these at a time. How long before I can see results?

Seriously, I just read an article that indicates that office bullies tend to be the type of people who get promoted to the top ranks...if this is the case that is pretty alarming.

If you stop and think of how stressed one can be thanks to work, how it affects our emotional and physical health, you would think that everyone would strive to have a positive, intelligent, and people motivating person to be the head cheese and not the tyrant with the whip....what are we living in a third world country?

Thoughts?

why do they run away from the problem instead of apologizing and trying to make amends.

like you just want to run away ... from everything?
like everything is just too tough and complicated, and you can't find a way to solve anything ... like the only solution is to leave everything behind ... for ever

I have a hard time "getting over it" when someone is unpleasant or just downright irrational. I know in my mind that they're the stupid ones, but I still feel bad. How do you cope with this kind of thing?

I have been getting these angry responses from strangers for years now, etc: like people turning away from me, avoiding looking at me, rolling there eyes in intense anger at me or when I walk in the door the entire room is looking and staring at me angrly and whispering to each other while looking at me. Now I have often been told that my normal facial expressions looks angry(but I am not angry). These people are strangers to me. This behavior happens within minutes, what is happening and WHY? If it is my facial expression, it is wrong to judge me on one thing alone? Most of the time I have'nt even spoken a word yet? Also a lot of the times my own mother is with me when these things is happening. She says nothing while it is happening, when we are alone I ask her about the situations, and she flat out lies to my face and says she did'nt notice anything. As I started earlier this has been going on for years and my mother has been with me most of the time. Why is she lying to me?
