My daughter is 15. She loves scary movies. She has never had a problem. She watched these Zombie movies and now she is afraid of Zombies. I don’t know what to do. She actually goes over in her head escape routes and where we can hide in case something like that happens. She has nightmares about it and all. She knows that they are not real but for some reason can not get them out of her head. I never had nightmares like this when I was her age nor did I fear things that were not real. I did not allow her to watch these kind of movies until recently and it is only Zombie movies not others and I still have to watch it first before she can watch it. Can someone tell me how to get her past this.

For a couple of years now I have felt removed from reality. I take everything in stride and nothing seems to get a reaction out of me whether it is good or bad. For example, I recently found out a family member has cancer, and yet I don't feel very upset about it. It is like I have lost my passion for life. I'm not depressed.... I just feel unaffected by things that go on around me.
Also, I feel very absorbed with my own thoughts. So much so that I end up becoming unaware of things going on around me. It seems like my mind is constantly jumping from one subject to another. I have a hard time listening to others and absorbing what they say. If I try to focus on listening to the person, then I end up becoming wrapped up in that thought and end up tuning out the individual speaking.

Its driving me crazy, and I know I should see a shrink. I don't have the funds as of now, and would like some insight into this.

Does anyone know what might be the problem?

Though I am normally a holiday person, I hate it this year and can't wait to get it over with. I also enjoy celebrating my bday but this year I didn't and when my family went against my wishes and threw me a bday party, I spend it in my room crying b/c I hated hearing people talk about me being a grown woman (I'm 21) when I feel like my life is going downhill and all dreams I had for the future, even normal ones like getting married and having children will never come true. I'm arguing w/ my parents about my upcoming graduation b/c college has been the loneliest time in my life and hate my major so I don't want to get a graduation picture, ring, or attend the ceremony. I've gained a ton of weight and don't care much about my looks anymore. I hate seeing ppl happy w/ friends b/c I have none. I went from a 3.7 GPA to a 2.5. I don't want to work or do anything other than stay in bed and sleep. My parents feel I'm being lazy but I just feel like something else is wrong with me.

I recently watched a man stand on the edge of the GG bridge hanging on while onlookers tried to persuade him back. It troubles me deeply that people in general desire to take their own lives, but I'm curious to know why the GG Bridge is such a popular suicide destination?

While watching animal planet type shows, do you cheer for the predator chasing the prey, feel sad for the poor baby animal being eated by the predator, or don't pick either side?

Why did you choose the hunter, hunted, or neither?

How would you define Artificial Intelligent such that people can differentiate a dumb un-intelligent technology to a free thinking robot or computer?

profiles?

you feel bitter, angry because its never been like that for you.

im a 30 year old borderline personality disorder sufferer, whos known nothing but pain, suffering and injustice, bullying and victimization all through my life.

ive never been in a relationship ever....never been employed....never made any friends....live alone in a one bedroom flat on sickness benifits....i own no posessions except an old computer.

i have no carpets on my floor.

i find myself scowling and feeling angry when i browse people profiles on myspace.....jealous and angry at other peoples happiness and contentment.

angry at their rosy, fat cheeks full of contentment.....girls...guys......

i find myself clenching my teeth with anger....even growling with myself as i stare, angrily at the profiles.

especially at this time of the year when everybodies supposed to be having a good time with family and friends.

its like as if they are emotionally hurt and hitting out at everything because its too painful to go direct to the source of hurt~Thats how it could seem not definately how it is
Any ideas on this subject?

especially if your a person who wants to be percieved in a certain way by people and worry about what people think......you want to ' control ' how others think and see you.

you want people to know the truth not believe others lies and falshood about you.

im angry at the thought alot of people outthere are probabllly influenced by some peoples perception and portrayal of me.....and theres nothing i can do....i feel enraged at the helplessness of it all

I know, everyone has problems, but I realized, there's not anyone to tell or talk to. There's no such thing as real trust, or someone NOT being judgemental, or someone actually caring. BECAUSE EVERYONE else has problems as well. Including pyschologist./psychiatrist. sounds pessimistic but isn't this true? The idea of going to a psychologist just kills me. I have to pay someone to listen to me??...isn't that really how it is? they listen, make themselves care, and hopefully help you but in the end it's all b/c you paid them.

Are any of you real? How do you know the rest of us are not figments of your imagination, how do I know you are not only figments of mine? Philosophical answers are more than welcome, they are encouraged. How did we get here? What is human? What is the impact of LSD on the mind, and what goes on the human mind when a chemical like LSD is invited into it? If you are white trash, please don't answer. If you are a philosophical being who contemplates his or her life on this planet, in this galaxy, please answer thoroughly and justly.

even when you're behind them, some seem to feel it when they look back at you or move their head.

if you're that type of person can you tell how is it so? can you really feel it? or is it natural to you?

I have heard alot of ghost stories in my life and have never been a true believer but I always kept an open mind.
However, I have recently moved into a new place and things have started to disappear. It seems something important goes missing the day after you use it. I have searched the entire house looking for them.
At first i thought i just misplaced them but now im not so sure as something else went missing last night that would be pretty hard to remove from its place. It had another object attached to it that requires force to remove it and that was left there!!!
Also at @ 2am my bedroom door slammed shut but there was no wind and also when i got up in the morning i couldnt get out of my bedroom the door was locked, i didnt even know there was a lock!!! The lock even required force to move it up and down.....Very strange indeed.....now im starting to get a bit scared!!!
Any ideas how to talk to this ghost or get rid of it as i dont want everything to go "missing"

I tend to be overtalkative when in social situations, especially with new people. I usually do ok after I've known someone for a while, but I often don't get the opportunity to know people better. I've spent time tryint to study comedy and I am constantly trying to learn how to listen better, etc, it just takes time, like it took me about a year before I was relaxed around certain people. So, I try hard, but it just doesn't happen quickly, but people form opinions of me and they dont' give me a chance. Once people spend one on one time with me, they find out I'm a great person, but often this doesn't get to happen. I guess part of it is that I don't follow group conversations that well. as I've continued to improve healthwise I have gotten better. I'm not sure what more I can do. I really do try hard to focus on others, I try to listen, and I really seek to take an interest in others, I've gotten better, but people still tune me out. I read a lot of books to try to improve.
