Psychology - September 2007

I often find myself saying one word and then saying five other similar words to get to the word I really want to use to convey my meaning. I would like to become more precise with chosing my words as well as timely. I don't feel comfortable pausing for more than a few seconds to come up with a word.

Any advice or resources?

We often fantasize about certain things, at certain times & it's so relaxing, kinda elates you to a higher ground, so to speak. But a person's got to do what he's got to do. So poooof, you're back to the real chaotic, material world! Ouch!!!

I work with morons. Some days they annoy me to the point that I want to strangle them. Since I can't do that I usually end up in a horrible mood with a killer headache. Any tips for this that don't include quitting or violence?

My son hates my husband so much that he wont come a visit me when I have visitation days.
I married the man who demolished our family so I understand what he feeling about us are, I don't push anything.

My Ex. finally got a family therapist for him after a few weeks The therapist had everyone involved in on a family session. My son went postal on us to the point that when my husband started to get defensive my 14 year flat out told me he did not want to be my son and he will continue hating me to my grave!

I finally got courage enough to say my response and my son tore me to shreds!
It was bad, now am taking antidepressant and seeing my on therapist about my own issues.
After 3 months we all sat down again, My son gave me an ultimatum dispose of my current husband and never have contact with him or my son would dispose of me!

I don't want to lose my son this way, but he hurting what should I do?
Choose son, or husband I can't have both, my happiness gone either way!

I know this is going to sound so stupid but I have a really bad phobia. Im deathly afraid of spiders. We recently moved house and its a very old house, the problem is its full of them and they are not the small ones, they are huge and they seem to be everywhere. I am so terrified im seriously considering moving house again, sometimes I have to go and stay the night at my moms because Im so scared. Im constantly on the edge of my nerves and I cant sleep at night because I have terrible nightmares. I know they cant hurt me but I cant help it, it makes me feel ill and its very debilitating.
What can I do to either:
Stop them getting in, or Get over my phobia?
Please help.

ive been a care assistant for 4 years. i loved my job at first, but now i hate it. i have to provide personal care to the elderly within their homes.
I feel so depressed gping to work, i cant stomach the smells i have to deal with also my patience is running very thin with the elderly as they treat me like a SLAVE.
Everyone in work (elderlt clients and co workers) they have all noticed how misrable i have become and ive overheard a few of them saying "he doesnt care about the clients he just wants to get in and out as soon as possible"

They are Right. Do you think I should leave my job? Im not sure weather im depressed or i simply just hate my job.

Any ideas on what I should do? (please note, i ould not cause anyone any harm at work) even though my patience is running thin.

I reckon i should find another job....what do you think?

What to do when someone has fallen head over heels for you but you are just not physically attracted to that person. How important is physical attraction when it comes to having a love relationship?

Yes, I'm full of intense hatred and fear. I'm very mistrusty of people, and It's very hard for me to make friends or even talk to ppl. I feel like I'm not good at anything, and I've also had a very miserable childhood. I have no social life now, and I've *tried* soo hard in the past to improve my life and socialize, but it seems that wherever I go, "I always run Into what I don't want, and never get anything I want". Like the fricken universe itself doesn't want me to be happy. Why do these forces beyond my control hold me back, no matter how hard I try?

What can I do about this?

Have you ever gone to do something you thought you always wanted to do and had it finally come together only to realize that you're not too into it as you once thought? Where do you go from here--if there was no plan b? This is the sort of thing that makes you feel lost and utterly confused and transparent and it's like there's no getting out of the dark tunnel--do you continue to peruse, even if you have doubts and aren't at all passionate about it or... You based all of your life's goals all on this one thing--and now you think it's caving in.

okay. i wrote this poem. i'm 14. what do you think of it? note: constructive critisism is greatly appreciated.

so here it goes...

i never dreampt it possible,

never considered even once,

that i could be surrounded

by everyone i know

yet still could shake in pain

due to the lonlieness trapped inside me now.

i sit and stare at him and her,

at all lovers indeed,

and tremble in evny,

dreaming of what life could be.

visions of love and laughter

flood my mind and unite;

a picture perfect world

hidden right beneath my eyes.

these images of fantasy

are soon crushed by reality

and remind me that i'm crazy.

i hold on to what i do have still

and plead to defy fate

and what is sure to be.

my heart cries.

i don't want to feel alone for eternity.

I have a big split personality....im usually the funniest guy at school, most people on my campus like me just because im fun to be around and spontaneous, ect. and i also treat the adults with respect and have fun with them!

But sometimes, for example today I was looking at some pictures online of this group of punks at my school who treats the teachers and people there with absolutely no respect...and my other personality came outI imagined myself killing them, and I wasn't even phased about it, like i was doing the world a favor for killing them.

I also have something else wrong...I have something down inside of my like 5x the normal adrenaline. Its never fully came out, but one day when my parents pissed me off i tried comitting suicide by popping the blood vessels in my head by pressure, because i didnt have anything to take it out on. I have full control of it, but I feel one day someone will trigger it and i wont be able to control it and ill end up killing someone. Help?

I am a 19 year old sophomore college male. I have no friends in college, but I have a couple at home, of whom I don't see much of during breaks. I used to wear the same clothes everyday until I forced myself to improve myself, but I still eat the same things for lunch and dinner every day. I have a speech impediment. I can never get past "what's up" in a conversation except for maybe asking one question. I can however though continue a conversation if the opposing member thinks of something to talk about. I've read many books and practiced but no change. I am anxious in public and prefer sitting in my dorm all day rather than socializing with people. I prefer being by myself all of the time, even away from family, although I desperately want to change that. I stutter most of the time I talk. I never knew what body language was until I recently read about it. I can talk to the couple of friends I do have though easily and can converse normally and comfortably, but not with others. I also get obsessed with one particular thing for a long period of time (aka running 90 miles a week to get fast, eating 5000 calories a day to gain weight, etc). Sorry for the weird format, I just wanted to add a lot of stuff in a shortish amount of space. I really want to be like normal people but it's always been so difficult. What can I do to help? TIA!
