Well, I have to do a speech tomorrow and I have a really bad anxiety problem mostly because of my cheek. I have this thing called Perry Romberg's Syndrome, which is just looks like a dimple on your cheek, but a little deeper. When I do my speech tomorrow, how can I just avoid this anxiety/self-consciousness about myself? Thanks guys!

note i do not have bipolar disorder.
i feel like im 10 differant people trapped in one body. i feel like i cant express myself. or that when i do its only expressing part of me. i feel trapped. like im not good enough for anyone, and that seems to be more of a im not good enough for my parents thing. im religious and there is no problem there. i feel like i have depression but i put on a happy face for everyone. im doing fine in school but i always feel pressured. im way to stressed out. i feel like i have trouble loving anything. i feel like every choice i make i regret later. ive tried realy hard to be happy but i feel that when i am happy its for the wrong reasons. i think this may be related to the fact that i have no one who i can talk to who shares my same views. even my parents disagree with a lot of what i say. dont get me wrong im not entirerly a depressed person i am probably happier more than im sad but still... i feel like id be much happier being someone els or hav som1

Ok, so I have social anxiety and it's been bothering me in the last couple years to the point where I have been suicidal. From doing some research, I found that I can either take prescription drugs or go for cognitive therapy. Seeing as my parents' medical insurance is terrible, cognitive therapy might not be an option since they don't have the money (and won't let me spend my own). They are really against drugs too. I researched Paxil (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paroxetine) and found it along with other drugs to have some nasty side effects. I doubt I can convince my parents to let me see a psychologist, so I really don't know how to take care of the situation. So what should I do about this? I just want to be normal and not afraid to go out in public on my own for once. Thanks in advance for responses.

When an idea such as evolution or radioactive dating is brought forth, that hypothesis or idea is published in a scientifc journal subject to peer review--along with the supporting arguements,observations and data. Science not only encourages but almost demands other scientists to look at the work--look at the implications that perhaps even the author hadn't thought of--reproduce the data--and either confirm or invalidate the work. This peer review is done by submitting a paper to a scientific journal with the new data, new information etc. that would either confirm, expand, or refute the original idea. This new paper likewise is subject to the same scrutiny the original paper was. This ensures in the sciences that false ideas are soundly trounced, mis-information or poor research is thusly self correcting by science--it is an adversarial system to a point. Posting creationist ideas in a web site mean nothing--I've never seen one make it into a respected journal. False hypothesis.

I work in retail and I can't tell you how often I get yelled at, screamed at, cursed at for things that are beyond my control and/or not my fault. Most of the people acting like this, from my experience are women. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think by acting like that, they're missing the whole point of the holiday season. Why the hell are they so rude and obnoxious during the holiday season?

I work for a large phone company in a technical support position. Many times a customer will call about and ask why a specific feature like voicemail is not working. When looking over the account I then notice a bill exceeding $400. Now, because of the outstanding balance features are removed but their phone service is still functional. Obviously the customers first thought is a technical problem, but when I inform them that that reason the feature is not working is because they owe the company hundreds of dollars the person gets offended. My thought is this "If I haven't paid my phone bill in months and I lose certain features because of this...why am I surprised?" If I don't pay my cable bill and it gets turned off I don't call the cable company and ask "Why is my cable shut off?" I know why, because I haven't paid my bill.

Whats your phobia or silly phobias you have seen or heard off?

My phobia is shots in my veins, not in the a$$ nor arms just in the veins. Weird but I cannot get over it.

For example, Can I ask if she is married or has kids? etc.

Or is that crossing boundaries?

Anyone out there know if I can ask questions such as those and if I can what are the boundaries? ...

And are certain questions I definitely shouldn't ask?

Someone answers with a religious quote. Is this not the epitomy of the word PREDATOR? They find the weakened in the pack and move in for the easy kill. What do god and psychology have in common?

I've dealt with anxiety and depression all my life, some times worse than others... I never wanted to accept that I was depressed. My parents had me go to a therapist, but nothing really worked. Anxiety and depression runs in my family... My two younger sisters seem to have it and my parents did as well. I hate seeing therapists, I don't WANT to be upset, worrying and what seems to be sad all the time. Don't get me wrong, I have my happy days... But they seem like they never come. I've taken medication and I hate it, it just makes me sleepy. I'm pregnant and engaged and it's so frustrating to everyone in my life, mostly ME, that I can't just be happy. I have a good life! I'm so sick of living a life like this and I don't know how to change it. I hate listening to people complain about being "depressed and sad all the time" it drives me crazy, so in a way I feel bad posting this. I just wanted to know if anyone else has gone through this and knows any decent ways to deal with it...

MOST OF ALL.... be honest to yourself!!

1/What, if any, is the proverb/anecdote that you have found most useful, or comforting in times of need or unease??(Difficult one, but try not to pluck the first one that, you remember?!(unless, appropriate?!)

2/If the possibility arose, which person from any period of time, and any position in life(NOT A RELATIVE, PARTNER OR FRIEND!), would you choose to spent 1 hour with, why and what would you do in that hour?(TRUTHFULLY!!)

3/IF....YOU MET Yourself - Try and take a second or two..- do you think that you would like the person that you are??(Think carefully!!??) And do you think that you would be friends with 'you'??

I've looked deep within, personally, I'll give my answers tomorrow!? (Honestly, still thinkig one of them through!) 8-) Thanks for taking part
