I have been very careful with my weight. I was obese before and then managed to lose the weight. I used to weight 85kgs and then eventually gotten to 58kgs. Then last year, I was into the gym and all and managed to hit 55kgs, at that time was also dating a health freak who practically didnt allow me to eat anything when we are going out, but after 9 months got tired of the routine, the pressure and eating restriction and had abandon the plan. Started gaining weight... and not feeling good about myself now. I found myself turning to food whenever i am depress and I also started binge eating. Eating when no one is around, avoiding social functions and having very low self esteem. I want to join a support group or talk to someone that can understand my situation...... My will power is not as strong as before, I need some support to help me loose the weight and gain back my confident and my life....please help

i have this dorm roommate which i can't stand. she's from a romanian orphanage, which is why she has all the issues she has. lately i have been getting fed up with everything that she's been doing; she's delusional, and i'm wondering if anything i tell her even sinks in to her....i've been pretty passive aggressive with her as well. in my background i've experienced much mistreatment and hurt from other a good majority of my life, and to this day i have strong feelings of letting people get over on me. so when my rm pisses me off, which has been excessive lately, it just really gets to me. is this normal? trying to explain how she is could take pages....she's got a hearing problem so she talks VERY loud, she's nagging, nosy, delusional, messy, whiny, hard-headed and so much more. is it normal for me to just want to do everything to retaliate against her? because talking to her does not seem to work.

First off I do happen to like kids (in moderation) :P

Basically I think that there should be a limit on how many kids you can have and wanted to see what you people thought!

2 kids I think is enough for those [legacy gene pool obsessed] people and after that one should adopt! Can people not see that by spitting out kids left and right is over crowding our country, and pretty much in some cases non intentionally placing these kids in situations of picking on because their parent(s) had them when they can't even afford to take care of them self?

Seriously take a second and think about that last part. I'm not trying to be negative...but I am a realist! Makes me a tad angry that people can easily pop a kid out yet not think of the reality behind if they can provide for a child or not. A classic truth be told of how selfish a lot of humans really are....

Heres my view: Grandest years? and what exactly is grand about it? I'm a junior in highschool and I still have yet to call this the grandest times of my life I think it should be "The most stressful years of my life" At least when your out of highschool you choose your own path, with HS your stuck doing the requirement classes (Math ugh) Not to mention the boredom, the entire day is either boredom/classwork or test.

The day doesn't end once the bell rings either, Oh homework did I foget to mention that?

So I'm having tons of useless information drummed into my head, homework that is more a chore then a learning experience and the day itself boredom beyond belief.... Despite all of this I am doing quite good in school despite what I have said about it here, I beg to differ the grandest years of my life will be after highschool where I'll get to explore my career and for the 1st time actually live life on my own...

I used to be really, REALLY into mathematics but now I hate it. I blame my problems on a combination of overwork, psychological problems and the inherant difficulty of abstract mathematics. What about yall?

I'm doing a psychology research project with undergraduates and found that there is a correlation between one's ability to reach their fullest potential (self actualization) and their perceived love of their parents. I want to write a discussion section explaining that self actualization is important for the individual/society because....

Ok, well, when I was a kid, like, under 10, I used to draw a lot, like most kids do. I used to draw aliens, and my imagination was so active that I would plan out a movie involving the aliens and monsters in my head, if I was bored or something. Nothing like imaginary friends though. Anyway, I was around 7 when I can first remember coming up with this "Planet Neso", and other planets whose names sounded like that. I guess it’s only natural that I would come up with planets while coming up with aliens. The name Neso always sounded weird to me, and I was recently thinking, maybe I could make a Halo-ish videogame, and I thought that Neso was too weird a name for a planet. Now, for some reason, less than 2 minutes ago I Google searched "Neso" and came up with articles about Neptune’s moon, Neso. I can assure you that i have NEVER heard of this moon before, and the Wikipedia page is so small, I’m sure nobody in my neighborhood had either. I’m seriously freaked out.

There is a bad habit, I have that I need to stop. Although I've had this bad habit for years, I can't seem to be able to break this bad habit. I need advice on how to stop this bad habit.

No matter where I am, if someone falls or trips I see it happen them start laughing. Whenever I see a person fall I don't laugh at loud, but I get the feeling that I want to laugh. I then start laughing quietly in my head, after the person falls. Everytime this happens, I feel that theres nothing that can't make me stop laughing.

I don't mean to laugh at the person who fell, but I do it anyway. If the person starts makes drama, then I feel like I want to laugh harder. How can I stop this?

Not the correct combination of both.
Your logic can also be flawed in making the choice.

Please don't think I'm a freak. I can sometimes see my dead relatives here and there, sometimes appearing as shadows or as real looking figures. For example, it'd be really quiet and peaceful, maybe like 3:00 in the afternoon, and I'd see a person from my preferal vision, but I turn around to see nothing. But most of the times, I can sense only them, and it feels like the air in the room just expanded. I believe that spirits do exist, but how would there be enough room on the surface of the earth to hold that many spirits? Because from the begining of time to now, there must have been billions of people alive!!! I always contradict myself like that. Does anyone have a conclusion?

My room mate has just asked me to ask it. It's because of a project he has to do for psychology concerning child development. He has to survey 100 people and ask

"Were you spanked as a child? How often, how much and with what? Do you feel it has affected your personality? If so how? Do you now or would you consider spanking your own children? If differently to your experience as a child why?"

My first response was kinky but he says that's not relevant so please no more kinky answers.

Thanks for helping!

I know you will think that I'm vain, but please believe me, cuz I'm NOT. I did something to myself that ruined my life forever. Please people help me. I know that there is someone out there who can comfort me, somone who can make me feel better. See what happened was that I was depressed and blamed my appearance for it, when In reality there was nothing wrong with me and I WAS NOT ugly. My friends called me pretty and even a few men said I was beautiful. I wouldn't call myslef those, But all i know is that I was good average, but never UGLY. But see I was too blind to see the good things in my life and I obssessed over the way I looked and thought if i looked prettier, I could have a better life, ( Hot bf, more friends,...) Anyways, I got plastic surgery( chin and cheeks)and now my life is a disaster. I look disgustingly UGLY! I can't bear to look at my own face. I look at old pictures, and see how stupid I was for thinking I was ugly. Becasue now I see what TRUELY ugly is.

This guy i like is the host (21yrs old) at a casino. We've stared at eachother for weeks. I went to the casino saturday and some woman won 2000$ next to me..that broke the 'ice' between me and him. We 3 talked. 20 min later I looked back and him and fem employees talking to him were staring at me. 2min later he comes up to me..lowers his head next to me and said " I don't do this sort of thing..that often and i know you probly hear this from alot of guys but, *pulls out his card* this is my email and you can write me if you would ever want to go out sometime." ( he is the host *why he has a card*). I messaged him and didn't hear from him till 3 days later (that was the day he came back to work) he said "Sarah, I’m glad you feel that way. I was surprised to see that you had already emailed me!I figured I might have scared you or made you uncomfortable that night, (I’m sorry if I did) I’m guessing you probably get sick & tired of guys hitting on you all the time but I want you to know
