Psychology - December 2007

How can you get get that bubbly feeling that you get when for example you jump into a freezing cold lake. You know its going to be cold but you do it anyway, and then feel so alive and everything looks so sharp. It's like an adrenalin rush or something. How can you feel like that, and is it possible to keep it for a long period of time?

I am not looking for the usual...lose weight, exercise, etc.

What I want to know is how will you make some much-needed changes to your character, personality, attitude and outlook on life? Now think about that for a while, don't say you have nothing to change, you do, so be honest with yourself.

After you choose what it is, tell me how you plan to implement that change.

I function very poorly socially; I have a bad case of shyness and a slight case of agoraphobia. I become fascinated/obsessed with things such as art, space, weather phenomenon, rain, gigantism, speed (physics) not fast cars, music, counting/collecting in my mind: dog breeds, rocks, lists of old Slavic/Polish names, Slavic surnames, thinking about large numbers, race/ethnicity, genealogy, ethnology, evolution of culture and language, I start to create my own languages and fantasy worlds, I make countess lists of all the Polish names, surnames, and place names, and translate Serbian, Croatian, Russian, names surnames and place names into Polish, I create new words and phrases, I get fascinated by Mathematics to the point where I stay up all night doing all the exercises in all my old math books for no reason (trigonometry through multivariable calculus). I get fascinated by what happens to sewage water, I want to contribute to the world, from the stupidest (the sewage system), to the more worthwhile (language and culture). I just don’t know how to normally socialize with my peers, and all this stuff is taking its toll.

Okay, first of all, I do not believe in ghosts and demons or whatever but lately I'm starting to question whether or not I'm wrong about their existance.

It started on my 13th birthday party...I had a sleepover with 6 girls and we stayed up late in the living room watching movies and listening to my new CD. We were also talking about random stuff. I muted the TV and sat on the floor and started talking about something and I heard a mans voice behind me...no one else heard it. Then the computer printer turned on by itself and started blinking an orange color. I jumped on the couch next to my best friend and we both looked out the side door to the balcony and we BOTH saw a figure standing there, starring at it. We screamed and she started crying because we both saw the exact same thing...we looked back and it wasn't there. The CD was still playing and I said, "look, ghosts aren't real. If there are ghosts, show me a sign!" so then the song started skipping and I'll admit, it scared Me.

And now, sometimes late at night/early in the morning, I hear my bedroom door open but I’m always too scared to look then I get really really cold and the hair on my arm sticks up. I get that feeling that someone is standing over me and sometimes I feel taps on my back…when the sun finally comes out I look at my door…and it’s open. There was another time I was in my room alone and my light turned off…I got scared and said, “please, come back on!” and boom, it came back on. Another time I was downstairs with my mom and we both heard footsteps upstairs and a heard a door open and close…we were alone in the house. I stayed home because I was sick. Everyone else was at school/work. Does this seem like ghosts to you?

I am a junior in high school and am very interested in going into the Psychology field. So far, Developmental Psychology sounds best, but I've just begun learning.
Any advice from those who are working towards/have already obtained a Masters in the field or higher? Is there a big need for Psychologists like there is for nurses?

i told my therapist i was gay in the closet, and she was like "well that's ok. i think we should all love each other. some men have relations with men, women with women, and men with animals."
and i thought about gagging when she said some people have relations with animals! LOL!

what's the most craziest thing YOUR therapist said?

Is it being afraid of how you die, or where you will go after you die, or what affect it will have on your family? What? Sorry, I didn't really know what category to put this in.

As all I can find are American studies. A comparison of the different countries would help to see if the racial IQ gap is nature or nurture.

I've been perscribed a dose of 20 mlg of Lexapro recently (about 14 days ago) and it turns out I was taking 40 mlg a day (two pills) instead of just the 20 (one pill). I didn't mean to overdose, but I have three other medications I take for anxiety and depression, including Klonopin and Abilify, and I got the perscriptions mixed up and kept taking 2 pills of Lexapro when the pills were just 5mlg size, so I continued taking two pills even when the sizes increased and I was only supposed to take one. What's going to happen to me? Is this bad? Am I really screwed up now that I've been overdosing on Lexapro for 2 weeks? What's happening to me?

What is your definition of grown up?? Should you lose your sense of silly and fun?? Why do some look at you as undignified if you roll down a hill with your kids in the summer?? If you are a responsible adult, pay taxes and don't push little old ladies onto railroad tracks,,,,why do some people look at being a 40 yr.old juvenile as a bad thing?? Just wondering.....

When I was younger we lived in a creepy neighborhood. On night I thought someone broke into our house and was in my brothers room. I freaked, got my parents, and I was hysterical for days afterwards. Turns out there never was anyone, but I slept in the lving room for the remaining 6 months we were there. We have now moved into a much nicer neighborhood, but I still have a fear of someone breaking in. I have to sleep with my TV on all night. Whenever I try to sleep without it I start hearing noises, I become very frightened, and I come close to crying. I am almost 15 and I know how ridiculous I am acting, but I am terrified.

What can I do to get over this? I have never even told any of my friends about this.
