Psychology - November 2007

My mother-in-law hit our car and there is about $1000 worth of damage. My father-in-law is dragging his feet paying us....he is saying "i'm not sure if I'm going through insurance or out-of-pocket."

I want to be fair to my wife because she is handling this, but I also want our car fixed. The accident happened almost 3 months ago and it is still not fixed and he has not paid us.

What can I do or say that is diplomatic that will get results, get the money for the repair, and move on with our lives.?

I'm sick of everything. I'm sick of doing the same thing in school everyday, having 5 subjects of homework everyday, having my parents say clean your room/rabbit, having many tests, annoying people at school, practice everyday, I'm sick of feeling like I never get any sleep, even though I sleep all night, getting so many stomach aches because of ovarian cysts. I'm just sick of everything and I want to stay home and just take a break from everything. I also want to sleep a lot. I know this sounds like I'm depressed, but I'm generally happy, with the occasional crabby a couple times a month, but who doesn't get crabby? And by NO MEANS am I thinking about suicide...AT ALL.

So what would you call this? I AM NOT DEPRESSED, so please don't say that. I also get bad head rushes, even if I just turn my head around too fast, I get a headrush. My patience is getting very short too, I get pissed off at the slightest thing.

I just came up with this idea after having watched the videos called bumfights... I've found Dr Phil's refusal to interviewing this guest:

I personally have no hatred against any human being, indeed any single one. But why do some people hate certain group of people and abuse their human dignity? Where on earth does the evil mind come from?

I am very scared. Yes, I am sure there are more people who are generous and decent than the distracted ones. But, anyhow I am living in the same world where those number of risky people and disasters keep occurring, and thus I feel insecure with this unstable world.

And I feel so compassionate about the innocent and poor victims who had to be tortured by those sadistic wrongdoers. It is such a pity that the victims (homeless people, little kids, battered women, etc) are totally isolated from the protective institutions and supportive organizations..

i used to do that during my first days here whenever i'm having a bad day...but when i learned that it makes people feel bad...i stopped...instead i now give almost everyone a thumbs up...no sweat..it doesn't cost me anything anyway.
Sadly i still see alot of people doing that...it makes me wonder.

i dont understand all these kids that complain and cry about being cyber bullied...

1st off...if you have a myspace or similiar type of page on the internet, you are setting yourself up! people can easily find you and knock you down...so dont have one then!

2nd...i grew up in an era when the 'bully' would come right up to your face and infront of others either insult you or beat you up...i feel that is technically a lot more damaging and to be feared than what some morran writes about about you online...

these kids who claim they are commiting suicide due to what someone bulllied them online about are already problemed and just need some other excuse...

so what do you think about it?

In moving from one home to another a couple of years back, someone stole a bunch of boxes from me. In some there were clothing, kitchen things and old love letters. Of all the things I miss, are my old love letters, to the point of it really, really bothering me. (I wanted them just to kind of look back on when I was old.

Any thoughts of how to get over these feelings?

I have now met someone who is "the one", but the letters from old loves still hold a special place (please don't tell me this is wrong, because it's not. I have never known another man as wonderful as the one I'm with now).

Any suggestion would be wonderful.

Thanks.

My fiance recently admitted to being able to see and hear spirits. She said it started about a year or so ago when she moved with her family to a new house from her grandparents. She says she's seen a little girl and an older woman, both resemble each other, wearing old fashioned dresses. She says she's also seen evil spirits outside the home, or lined down the road, or hanging from trees. She says that when she puts objects down sometimes, they get moved somewhere else. One night she heard footsteps that I thought was a knocking under the house, and then heard someone scream, of which I didn't hear. Another night she saw the same girl under the kitchen table. Then saw the girl later that night at the bottom of my steps. Then saw the girl along with 4 other kids sitting at our feet while we tried sleeping. The next day, six kids were playing ring around the rosy my kitchen, and then came to us in the living room. They said they were her family protecting her and me. Any suggestions?

I work with a woman who seems really nice and chatty one minute, and literally the next minute she will start yelling really irrelevant personal abuse at you for no reason, then a few minutes later she will be sweet as pie again. I thought I was being bullied by her and told my boss - my boss says I am the 5th person to complain about her and that this woman will be fired within the next week. She is an intelligent person, in her mid 40's, Oxford graduate, lives alone no kids, but seems to be a bit nuts - what's the diagnosis?

I see other people happy, I'm sad, I want to feel happy, but i somehow feel resentment. Why am I happy when other people are down? Am I a jealous person, or is it something else?

I really try to take criticism gracefully (especially with my art). Sometimes I worry that if I tweak my art too much, for too many peoples' suggestions, then my work might lose what makes it Mine.

How do you know when to listen to a certain person and when not to? (Besides obvious stuff like "if they're your teacher they want to help you" because we're all human)

PS I don't know where to put this so if you have a suggestion for category please let me know.

I only have tiny windows of time sporadically. I serve my home, family, community, but as a 'professional volunteer' there is no vacation time. I'm limited on funds and have run out of practical fun ideas that cost little or next to nothing. Thanks for your ideas.
