Doesn't that seem kind of contradictory?

"You'll do great Ted, now get out there and break a leg."

"What? Why would I do that?! Is the stage dangerous? I shouldn't do this, I don;t have insurance..."

It seems to me that saying 'break a leg could give someone a full fledged panic attack.

Lets say you made goals for yourself. But then, you get side tracked with all the crap in your life. Then you have second thoughts about it because the goals are hard to attain and you just had a major setback. How do you keep on with your goals even if you lost the desire because you have no other options?

A few years ago, I was socially active and happy.

Then, I gradually became anti-social. I stopped leaving my
house, contacting friends, and most importantly- having fun.

I'm tired of myself. I want to change.

Do you know how I can change my personality?
Become a different person? Be like the people I admire?
Be social again? Be happy?

I'm about to start psychotherapy with a LPC with a MA. Is that enough? Should I find one who has a PhD? I would appreciate if someone could explain to me what exactly a LPC is.

Just curious to see if the definition of "depression" is universal. I have a relative that goes into a catatonic state, but some people who have depression just cry. Sometimes I cry, is that depression?

For those of you who have been diagnosed with depression, please tell me...What does it feel like to YOU?

Indian girl , travels on a business trip to UK. In the office-caffeteria are a lot many number of people say 25. As the girl is walking out of the office-caffeteria post lunch, she passes by a group of 7-8 english men. One of them says aloud ''shes got Boobs !!! '' .................... '' BOOBS'' ..... loud enough for the girl to hear !!
She walks ahead, and when she looks back suddenly , one of the english boys is walking behind her doubled up with his lunch plate in his hands ....

The girl is chubby but not obease. What does this behaviour mean ? A complement ? A joke ?

The girl does not report it because she is there only for 7 days, and she knows none of thoes boys. And would never ever meet them again.


(The office is of prime repute international level , where only cream of students and experienced candidates are given an entry )

Tring to understand this behaviour of men in a group. When do they behave this way.

I ask alot of questions, in here, concering a certain matter, and this person who is rude, condescending and insulting, sent me a rather nasty email, after I had asked her, politely not to answer my questions because of her answers were rather rude. This person, is college educated, and in MHO,too big for her britches. What to do from here??? She thinks she knows everything and all I had asked her to do, was not answer my questions, if she was going to insult my intellegence, be rude and insult my questions. i tell you, some ppl were absent when their mother's taught them how to treat other ppl. i ask questions because I do not know the answers and could not find them on the net. This person is a know-it all, and I can't stand know-it-alls!

Dear ___

Apology

I would like to offer my sincere apologies for the unauthorized use of creating a profile under your name. I realize now the seriousness of the situation and because of that I will not do it again and I have learnt a valuable lesson that not only affects this situation but many others. I understand now that I have violated your rights and that I have hurt your feelings and anyone else's by doing so and I am sorry for that. I didn't think it would be taken so seriously it was just to prove that I could. I wasn't thinking thoroughly when I created the profile and my intent was not meant to be malicious, I now realize how badly I have hurt you and what could have happened if it went on the way it did. I wasn't thinking in the long run how creating a fake profile could really affect someone.

Statistically, our standards of living improved over the years, but our total happiness did not. What makes people happy overall are having lots of real friends, a soulmate and the like. Why do people think that material gains would really make them that much happier? You know, people used to just gather food for a living and that only takes about 20 hours per day. The rest of the time is spend dancing, having fun with friends, and the like. Do you think our ancient ancestors are any less happy than us? They aren't unhappy because things like IPods didn't even exist so they don't feel the need to strive for them. Do you understand what I'm saying?

lately i have been feeling depressed. as always, since i was young, happy things have an opposite effect on me- i start to feel depressed. i dont know why, but it's always been like that. on christmas, i feel depressed, on my birthday when I got present, I would want to cry because I didnt deserve those presents or that attention.

well, i dont know where life is taking me. my mother is sick (no physical ailements, just symptoms she has has heart disease) and she burdens me all the time. i want to cry, but i dont want to tell her to stop because I'm afraid she'll become weak and die. like she tells me "oh i shouldn't wait to use this in the spring, i'll be dead by then" and in normal conversations, she starts to lecture me "well, you have to learn how to do this, because i might just drop dead tomorrow." i really dont know if she means to make me sad, maybe not, but it really extremely does. and im not sure if im the only one in my family that feels like this. my friend brought it up

I used to be an overachiever and then I turned into an average achiever. By overachieving, I mean those people who try to be perfect at things like GPAs, careers, and the like. What happened to enjoying life? Does that 100 on your test really mean anything if you don't remember 100 percent of the stuff later on in life? Isn't learning, helping others, and being happy the most important things in life? I came from the top public school in New York City, and overachievers there sleep for an average of four hours per night and get continuously stressed out. This type of mentality also promotes cheating and lots of competition over things like GPAs that don't really matter in the long run. How is this mentality healthy?
