Psychology - October 2007

I remember a long time ago when I was younger...I can't exactly remember how old, but I'd say in the range of 9-12 years old...I would get extremely nervous about my mother not coming home or something...like I was afraid she was going to get into an accident or get hurt by someone. I really have NO idea how this started, there was nothing that happened to create this feeling, my dad was always there, and there was nothing wrong.

I remember many times, she would go shopping on Thursday nights...around 8 or 9 PM. Around the time she was supposed to be getting back (about an hour or so after she left), I would watch out the window for her car pulling in the drive way while I watched TV. Sometimes I would think she was late, and get extremely panicked. I would get very nervous and fearful that something had happened. Then she always ended up pulling in, and I felt so relieved, it was very strange.

i asked this question already but still looking for a serious answer, and some experience-based advice...


when i first saw her i thought she was beautiful...but wasnt sure if she was a student or teacher..then she walked in the club i cofounded and learned she was a professor...im 19 and shes probably in her late twenties.....silly me, i didnt introduce myself coz i was nervous....i know it isnt right to 'hit' on a professor, but i wanna get to know her... im confused whether to try or just keep my distance?

(im a smart student but i noticed i always crush on teachers and get frustrated with girls my age)

If you've ever been to one, were they helpful? I know it depends on the psychologist but... I think it would be a good idea for me to see one, but right now I'm short on money.

I have a crush on a guy @ my school, we never actually spoke w/ each other (but maybe i'll tomorrow)...before he used to make a lot of eye contact w/ me and it was like he was trying 2 tell me something w/ his eyes. But now when i look at him he doesn't look at me, and when i'm not looking at him he does look at me. i noticed that he stopped walking today to stare at me and he was going to the places where i was going, it seems like he wanted be to speak to him, but i'm kinda nervous...do u think he likes me?

I know relaxation techniques, I work out, I eat right, but life in the past few days has me absolutely grinding my teeth. I am having to eat a injustice and can't really express it because I have a child who would get stressed if I did. I try breathing techniques...you name it...Anyone have any good advice for letting go of something awful?

I took my cat (Homey) to the vet today as she hasn't been herself. She's 15yrs old, and I'm not trying to prolong her life as much as I am trying to make her final days comfortable. I make roughly 35,000 a year, and her bill exceeds 2k. I love her and am going to pay, but it will means Raman noodle soup and a return to sobriety for at least 3 months. Can you put a number on such things? Am I improperly equating her comfort for mine?

The phase has over came me like a poison that stains my skin but, not only my skin my memories as well. The farther I go the farther the light fades. The light may be gone right now but, there will be one way out. The way of truth. The truth of me over coming the poison that got me here. The start of the whole thing.

I met a guy a few months ago at a conference. He lives in a different state and is the VP of a company with 55 facilities nationwide, so he's always travelling. We exchanged numbers & hung out a few times when he was in my town on business. I made it very clear to him that I'm not in a place for relationship or casual sex, so that would leave us with the only option of friendship. I figured we both travel frequently, so when we do cross paths, we can always hang out and whatnot. Also, I enjoy conversing with him since we have things in common, so I didn't mind casual emails/texts/calls. As the time went by he became more and more persistent, calling, texting, emailing, instant messaging and the more persistent he became the more I started ignoring him. I would respond probably to 1/3. He expressed interest early on and casually mentioned that he gets what he wants which is how he became the VP of his company. Not scary at 1st but considering his "persistency" I'm starting

If the answer is that it depends, what does it depend on? And how does suffering affect the ability to feel empathy for those who caused the suffering if they have misfortunes?

This is going to sound a little embarrassing.
But I am very young and I worry alot about the mysterious and unknown things. Sometimes it makes me scared to go to sleep.
Recently a very nice lady that I knew died and for some reason I can't stop thinking about her. It's hard for me to sleep now.
I want to try to move on but I just can't.

I have a seperate personality named Larry, he is evil and manipulative. and he is getting harder to deal with
and i'm 16

it started when i was little, whenever i got really mad or something, i would just push those feelings down and try to forget about them. because if i did anything about it i would get in trouble
so eventually i started pretending to be someone else every once in a while so that i could say what was on my mind, and even though i still got in trouble, it was easier for me to say what i wanted to say when i could tell myself it was someone else.
over the years Larry started coming out when i didnt want him to, and when he was out i couldnt control what i'd do or say
instead of saying what was on my mind, i would say things i would never in a million years think. it just kept getting worse and worse.
now i can keep him inside most of the time, but i still cant control him at all when he is out

I feel this way quite a bit lately, I don't see my life improving in any meaningful way regardless of the actions I take. I can't talk about my feelings with anyone as I am afraid I will then just be labeled as another depressed cry baby.

Do you feel it's necessary to seek therapy about something traumatizing that happened to you as a child, that you never got help for, when you're an adult? Even if you feel you're over it? Could it be unknowingly still affecting me today?
