Psychology - November 2007

i have 3 children my youngest child has always been difficult he is nearly 13 now and has for a long while now been in the psychiatric loop problems with behavior initially thought to be adhd.I have just found out they think it is reactive attatchment disorder i have read literature on this and i dont understand i let my children go to live with their father after the breakdown of our marriage for a better life. it was a difficult decision to make i thought it was for the best our sons were always paramount during this transition and were surrounded by loving people. his formative years were the same as the others if anything i was over protective of him as i knew he was my last baby and i wanted to savour every moment could this diagnosis be right? he was nearly 6 when he went to live his dad i understand the major upheaval in his life can this condition exist if not all the intial categories are right?

I used to be married to this person. Anything that would come out of his mouth he would do: For example

1. He would tell me that I shouldn't drink when visiting my parents. He, in turn, would drink to get wasted every chance he had when he was out of town for 2 weeks. He's in the military reserve.

2. It was disrespectful for me to have dinner with any male, for any reason. He would have dinner and lunches alone with female coworkers.

3. It's disrespectful if while shopping, we pass a male colleague of mine and stop to say "Hello" without making formal introductions. Meanwhile, we meet a female coworker of his, not only does he not make introductions, he flirts.

4. He needed 4 hours at the end of the day to nap, snack and destress from the day, if I wanted an hour he would pout.

He's the 2nd of 4 children, 2 girls, 2 boys, mom, grandmother, sisters put him on a pedestal, especially since he's the only one to graduate high school.

a survivor, a victim, a tom-boy, a strong role model or a girly-girl? Or anything else? How do you define the category you chose? (This is not a homework question.)

I know I'm not that ugly. But let's face it: I'm screwed. I studied so hard and worked so hard to improve the way I dress. I read the bloody Economist and am very well versed in the arts, literature, film, etc. I speak four languages. But I'm useless and horridly plain. I'm stuck depending on the kindness of others to love me. Every time I look at my face in my mirror, I feel like I dying and I just want to break the mirror and forget I exist. I know biology have cursed me forever, and don't you say that one day "the right man," will find you. Sure, but I'm not allowed to be choosy at all. Why bother? Why I am alive if I'm so undesirable to men? I don't care if they're not classically attractive, only thin, and from a good family and well-educated--as I am.
I live by a river, and sometimes I just feel like pulling an Ophelia and well you know...

sometimes i find myself just..detaching sort of, from any sort of emotion, which is extremely useful at times because i can deal with problems without getting emotional about it, its just like i can switch them off sometimes.. is this normal?? its just worrying me because sometimes i find myself able to think about things that should cause me extreme discomfort, but if im in the "detached emotion" stage, they dont.. im not heartless or anything, but is this normal?
this doesnt happen itself, it usually happens because i want it to, like a switch, can this harm me in anyway, psychologically/physically etc?
thanks..

Why do some people slit their wrists and cause self harm? I don’t understand why they do it? Does it give them some sort of self relief?

It seems that when an animal is hurt or killed (in real life or just tv or a story) i get really upset and physically sick from being upset, yet when a human is hurt or killed (in real life or just tv or a story) i don't feel all that sad.

even in family. my nan died and i knew i should have felt really upset but i couldn't. i tried to think of all the good times but i was only really upset for a couple of weeks.

when my cat died i was inconsolable. every time i think of the little furball i can't stop my eyes from welling up. i just don't get that with people.

even in stories one dead animal sets me off for about an hour, but not a huiman (unless i really like the character)

is there something wrong with me? i mentioned it earlier and got a few dirty looks. do i have a bad mind?

I have a problem. I tell myself bad things about myself and end up making myself believe them. Things such as Im fat and ugly. I wish I could be as pretty as all the other girls. And a lot of really other insecure things. How do I stop this. I just cant. Its too hard. And then when I get yelled at, I just get down even more and tell myself im not worth living and its not worth it. How do I stop this!?!? Its so hard to break this habit!

My husband cheated on me with one of his coworkers. This happened more than a year ago, but I'm still hurt, and my heart is filled with anger and hate...not towards him, but towards her. I got over the anger I had for him thanks to his constant efforts to make things better. He admitted his mistake and has done every possible thing to regain my love and my trust. That woman, on the other hand, did nothing but to insult me and tease me whenever I'd see her. I haven't seen her in a long time, since she got fired from her job, but I still feel terrible hate for her, and the only reason why I want to get rid of this feeling is because she doesn't deserve any of my time or emotions. BTW, they cheated while I was grieving my father...I guess that just made things easier for them. Please help me recover my sanity. I'll do anything to forget this nightmare.

Do you believe that the more money and power a man has, the worse he treats women? Corporate executives, politicians, professional athletes - most of these men treat women like commodities to be bought and sold; used and disposed. They trade in their wives like they trade in cars, houses, stock, etc. Do you think that money and power makes men become cold hearted and chauvanistic or are men who achieve power and riches more likely to be cold hearted and chauvanistic by nature?

My dad says he doesn't like oversensitive people like my aunt - but I think I have the gene inside of me, too.

For instance, I take everything personally and every single bad thing that's happened to me will linger in my mind for weeks if not months.

What do you think of over-sensitive people?
