Psychology - September 2007

of the classroom. I used to sit almost near the front, and she moved me to the back. I think it's because she doesn't like me, but the thing is, I sit right beside her desk now. I noticed that she moved all the smart people towards the back, and the not so smart ones towards the front. But she just had to move me right beside her at her desk. She won't let me move either, she said those seats are permanent. Question is: Why would she move me towards the back by her? I'm not a bad student, I have an A in there and I don't talk much.

When I was a teen, I wanted to be a doctor-an OB/GYN, & many people said that was unrealistic. Now I already have my college degree in Spanish, but I'm still not fluent because they emphasized more on medieval literature, rather than grammar & conversation, which didn't help fluency. People tell me that wanting to be a translator/interpreter is unrealistic & dreaming too big. I'm not saying I can just straight jump into that field. I know I have to work on my fluency & practice more & get more schooling & training. Those are my long-term career goals.

I have this insane phobia of falling buildings. Like, if I'm in an old house and the floor starts to creak... My heart beat changes, my breathing slows, and I feel paralyzed, like I'm about to freeze up or faint! Like I'm about to fall through or something! I'm not a heavy person by any means, but I always feel like it's going to happen. I don't know how to deal with this, and don't know where it came from. Mom thinks it's from September 11th, I was in 5th grade at the time, and came home and saw the footage of the buildings collapsing (Mom wasn't there, or she wouldn't have let me see it). And PLEASE don't answer me with "Sounds crazy to me!" or "I don't know" cuz #1, I've already been called crazy and #2, "I don't know" is NOT a real answer.
Anyway, has anyone else had an experience like this, and if so, how do you fix it? Besides therapy. Nothing against it, but I've already thought of that, and I'm unable to see one at this time.

hi, lately i've been looking inside myself and it has occured to me that my quality of life is really low. i don't take care of myself, physically or mentally. i'm 15 and in high school so you could imagine that this sort of thing is normal. the thing is, i don't feel like living this droll anymore. usually i come home from school after moseying through the day half-awake, barely passing my classes, and start playing halo 2. my parents always ask if i have homework and even if i do i say no and do it way later or not at all. the only time i leave my room is to eat dinner or use the restroom. after that i go to bed at 11 pm, and sneak on to the computer and surf till god knows when, even on school nights. right now i am doing so. my life basically consists of eating junk food, sleeping 5 hours a night, and playing halo 2. im not a "geek/nerd" by any means which is most likely why i have a problem with this lifestyle. someone help to steer me in the right direction.

I'm 19, but I am very mature for my age and always have been. I get along with people my age, but I don't really fit in. There is always that separation that I have from the rest of teens. I have a solid understanding of what is right and wrong and it's like I know from experience. I feel like I've lived for hundreds of years. Sometimes I think "oh things like this never happened in my day..." but my "day" is NOW. Is there a psychological reason for my feelings? Is it reincarnation? Or am I just nuts? haha.

My granpa died recently & somehow word leaked out to everyone whose remotely in my life.
The first thing to get straight is I loved my Gramps yes, but he lived on the other side of the country so I hardly knew him. People however don't seem to grasp the idea that I'm not in unbearable pain at the death & seem to think it their personal duty to inform me that though I'm most certainly the most miserabe thing on the face of this planet at the moment to stand strong, do I want them to clean the house & cook the family's meals while Mom's away, anything to ease the burden off my back... ALL DAY today at church I've had people come up to me, getting in my face, rubbing my back stroking my hand & saying they know I'm in a lot of pain but don't worry, life will go on, how are you doing about the loss of your gandfather, isn't it a tragety he had to die, ALL THE TIME STANDING MUCH TO CLOSE FOR ANYBODY'S COMFORT LET ALONE MINE!!!

I got a call about a half hour ago regarding a cousin who committed suicide yesterday.

What causes them to get that lonely? Or drives them to do such a thing when they know they have options? Suicide hot-lines, checking themselves into a mental health facility, calling family members or friends. This is the third time, that I know of that a relative has done such a thing. All cousins. I mean this was a cousin who was to attend a family reunion this week, with hundreds of other family members. A reunion of which I could not attend, and my presence had no significance. So what is it about this that I can't grasp or fail to understand? Cause right now, I feel numb over the whole thing, and trying to understand.

Would like to know your thoughts, or ideas.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts, kind words, and prayers.

And for those of you who are thinking of doing this yourselves... just please call and get help.

I forget my sisters. She died 15 years ago when she was just 22. I often suddenly realise the day has passed and cannot believe I had no idea what the date was.

Do any of you guys do the same thing, and if you do, do you feel guilty for forgetting, or is it human nature to move on - and this is why maybe some of us don't purposefully mark the day with sadness/remembrance?

To be honest, if I did myself - i think I may go crazy with despair, so I've learn't to blank it out (but not conciously).

Thank you.

Did/do you find it difficult, if not impossible, to give anything to a relationship? Do you feel that you have nothing to offer, and cannot give yourself to someone in a relationship? If so, why do/did you feel that you were not giving enough? Is it just a result of lack of emotional energy?

I'm not a loud outgoing person or anything like that if that's what it sounds like. i'm sort of shy. anyhow, i'm really pretty, i've been told that tons of times (especially since i've lost weight) "gorgeous" "beautiful" etc....all of those compliments have gone to my head and now i'm always thinking about how pretty i am. i know, i know! i cant help it, though, that's my problem. i dont want to be like this even though no one know i am. i just dont want it to go so far as to me saying it outloud, you know? can someone help me?

Hi everyone!

Why cant we always be happy ?

What makes you happy no matter what and where you are like bad skol + work, like what do you think of + do to make you take your mind off of things, relax, enjoy life ?

Besides, friends, family, sleeping, eatting, exersing, playing with your pets.

thanks for helping !

we then got to this swanky restaurant it was well warn but it was a popular place to be. a bunch of cute boy's were sitting at a table. they wanted me to try to persuade mary to sit with them i eventually got her to do it they started to make out. i sat at the table where tyra banks was she seemed bothered that i was ignoring her. i just watched mary make out.
