Psychology - December 2007

After many years of sexual abuse from my father I am crashing at 42 seems like I cannot handle anymore stress
and am now on Zannax so I can maintain. I am gonna try
counciling again but fear that I will be on meds forever now.
Any input on what to transition from Zannax to? most meds make me too catatonic and give me headaches, weight gain etc.

We reproach the sex every day with folly and impertinence; while I am confident, had they the advantages of education equal to us, they would be guilty of less than ourselves.

This is just something I've noticed lately, I am a bit down at the min after being in good form all day, It came totally out of the blue and if I track back I can find the cause, My wife said we are going to a New Years eve party, she said we would go before she even ask me, she told me the night and me being me I went of in a negative rant I.E "I'm not f£££king going to that, I don't even like them people etc etc" The exact same happened Christmas eve, I went of in a negative rant and ruined my Christmas, Have you noticed how your negative talk makes you depressed or is it just me? Its amazing the power some words have

This is after two bad relationships, so should you basically charge it , and move on, or is there still a possibility that he would one day want to maybe go back there with you...He's been sending mixed signals, but men are different than women, so i'm confused. he calls and everything, but I just dont know what he wants out of this, other than the obvious sex....

Anyone?

Last night after using the bathroom I went back into my sleeping bag that was on the living room floor. Quickly afterwards I had the fallowing dream.
I was in my room, getting up to go get some water. My room light was on but the rest of the house was in the dark.- How it usually is in awoke time.

As I was walking unto the hallway that separates my room from the kitchen I clicked the light switch up It didn't come on. I went to the kitchen and I tried to turn on the light switch there. It didn't come on either. By then my heat started to pump and something just seemed a little to eerie for my liking.
I decided to make a run back to the safety of my room. As I was in the hallway that now had turned into a very long tunnel with me just barley able to see my room door at the end,
I saw I shadowy figure of a human.

( The whole time I was dreaming I actually thought it was real life. That is a first for me. Anyway.. )
My heart was pumping and I was very scared so
I started to run as fast as I could. Behind my closed door that I was getting a little closer to I could see a bit of light under it...I ran faster, and faster...faster then I ever could toward the light.
I felt like my heart was going to burst.

Finally right when I reached my door handle and my shaky hand was turning the knob the shadow figure smashed into me, my body literally felt crushed. I couldn't breathe and I hurt all over.
My back was now to the door and the shadows figure had 'its' two hands on my throat.
I couldn't see "it" because it was too dark but I surly felt 'it'. I tried screaming but nothing come out.

My head felt light, I was twisting and turning my body, trying to yell, cry, or just make a sound.
I felt like I was dying. But then like a sudden flash
I saw a book right in my reach. I grabbed it and started to bang it on the door, as hard and fast as
I could. Somehow I just knew if I did that my parents
( whom are dead. May the R.I.P. )
would come. The hands on my throat got tighter and tighter until I felt like my head was going to pop off. But I kept banging my door with the book, more frantically then ever. Finally the figure left me alone. I still felt it was there.
But it was no longer touching me.

I then went into my room. The light was on but I was still terrified. I was just standing by the light, afraid it would go out, crying, then I yelled out hoarsely that come out as a whisper 'mummy, daddy!' Immediately they came.
My father picked me up while my mum walked me out the same hallway I had just be fighting for my life in. I felt safe though. They then took me to a sunny outside dinner, opened the book I had been banging the door with and prayed with me.
I then fell asleep. And that's all I remember.

My fellow mates whom had been sleeping on the ground with me said I had me kicking and turning in my sleep, I also had been whimpering.
Right when they were going to wake me I went into a peaceful sleep. They then did the same.


Just out of curiosity is my subconscious trying to tell me something or is this a deeper psychology issue?

I have a way, though not intentional of addressing individual by their full proper name and not the contracted forms they normally go by. Example: Mike I address as Michael, Bob is Robert and Sue as Susan. Is there something in my my subconcious mind compelling me to do this? (note: this is just a fun question. Though true, this is nothing that is seriously bothering me or anything).

Have you ever thought that God gave you something in exchange of something?
Like me, I'm having a real hard time cutting my hair, it is reeeallly long, I mean It's like the length of the top of my thigh. So I want to cut it, a little, but I'm really smart at school, and I've read the bible several times, that story about Sanson and his long hair and his strength. So I'm afraid that if I cut my hair, I might lose my intelligence, I know it's really childish, but I really want to make sure it is all going according to God's word, and I wanted to ask someone for advice too. [ that's where you guys come in] btw. I am 13 years old.
Please no rude answers.
Thanks.

Two years ago I went on Lexapro (4mg) and Welbutrin (300mg) for depression (dosages were determined after a few months of trial and error.) I' ve gained weight (50 lbs) and lost my libido. A month ago, I dropped the lexapro but kept the Welbutrin. It has been an adjustment emotionally - but when I'm not a raging jerk - I want sex finally. However, I am still eating like crazy.
Another part of my story is that when I was younger, I used drugs. This is what I noticed: Cocaine had NO affect on me while pot chilled me out and Meth made me EXTREMELY OCD.
As of the last ten years, I have quit all the other drugs except pot - and since I was about 26 - I basically smoke four times a year (New Years, 4th of July, Camping, etc). I am now 33 years old. and I have noticed that when I smoke - I am more clear-headed about my goals - my bitchy behavior - and my eating. It wears off, however, when the high does.
What does this mean? It seems like a chemical imbalance, but what? Thanks in advance.

by saying high IQ people, i m referring to those genius whose IQ are 140 and above.

there are 2 genuis in my class, one is 147 and another one is 168. It seems like they live in their own world, one of them like to talk to imaginative stuff, and another one looks like a loner and has extraordianary bad temper.

there's another genius from the next class who acts really abnormally. He would not listen to anybody, nor care about what's happening around him. He once played with a sponge in the art room, squeezing water, absorbing water, squeezing water, absorbng water (and this goes on) without noticing his uniform was soaked in water. Everyone got mad over him for wetting their bags and stuffs but he didnt response. It seems like he is totally emotionally unavailable.

They were in a special class in the past years, until this year that the school system had changed and they are allowed to study with us, the 'commoner'

Since my youngest son moved out I have lived alone (I raised them on my own) and have enjoyed the peace!
However I have always looked after myself and have lots of social contacts and until recently had my grandsons around here much of the time.
My third son though has lived alone ever since he moved out (except for sharing a house for a while with others) and I now worry about him.
I brought all of my boys up to be self-sufficient - they could all cook,wash and iron,keep the home clean and so on by the time that they were twelve and they kept themselves clean and tidy too.
They all did well by that and my eldest is married and the other two look like they will settle down (eventually!). It's true that I have to keep an eye on *all* of them still but my third seems to be letting himself go a little.
He has a good job,writing,but whereas with the others when I visit I just have to take along ...

what would you think of someone that constantly makes you feel small everytime you are around them, indirectly telling you that you were not good enough by complimenting others whilst saying nothing pleasing about yourself, such comments may include "so and so doesn't need eyeliner because she has pretty eyes already, so and so is also studying psychology and she is getting top marks etc", although these comments are not directly said to you, It kind of makes you feel small, especially when it is said all the time and especially when the person making these comments hasn't got positive things to say about you. I know what most people are thinking right now "if you feel positive about yourself these comments shouldnt matter" which is true however it would be nice to know what the intentions of the person making these comments were in order to really consider them a friend or enemy.
