Psychology - December 2007

A work colleague has just called me, her father in law has just died after a short battle against cancer.
She was sobbing her heart out and I just didn't know what to say.
I hope she knows I'll be there if she needs me but I didn't say it.

When I was 12, I started exhibiting OCD symptoms. I would pray for upwards of 4 hrs/night and everything had to be just so or I'd have to start it over so my family didn't die. I had to touch everything in a series of 3 or go back to it etc. Also around this time, I started feeling this amazing natural high. It was as if I could do anything... like I was invincible...not to jumping off of a building, but you know...unstoppable.

The OCD symptoms mostly (except for a few that don't interfere w my life) were gone by age 17 but now at 27, I still get these highs sometimes. They last quite a while...sometimes for days but I have never really felt depressed a day in my life unless I was going through one of my OCD onsets.

Anyone else experience this?

Our experiment was "Does Audio or Visual Studying Help You Remember Best?" and at the end of our study, we found out that visual studying provided better results. We were wondering why this was.

I would like to hear from any women who have had this experience. I find this addiction disturbing and I think that it must lead to relationship problems. Is this true?

because the people are not made by people by those scientists who observe them and clasify their behaviour mind etc.
and only God has the right to establish if a man is retarded or no, if is mad, idiot or no.

that is why God says that the one who call the other '' mad'' deserves hell.

besides , in those scineces..the word demon..which is a part od the truth of our lives, does not appear, and the priest said and the bible shows that the demons are in all of us, have access to the mind of all of us, includin scientists priests etc.

besides..all the bible..never talks about people with mental dissorder..the bible talks even 3 times a page in N. T. ABOUT DEMONS AND DEMONISED.


establishing according to a science made by jung and others that a man has an illness when accutually he has demons that temptates him, it means to destry the dignity and the personality and the reason of that man..like the one in the movie '' a beautiful mind''..

the bible says that the one whoi says into his h

...WHat is it in a personality that when someone starts to get close, even if you have not met, and live far away, you do things to make them want to not like you???? Is it the long lasting fear of rejection??? What could it be???

I regret that my marriage did not work out and that I did not have more children. I feel sad when I see intact families together and enjoying their holidays.

I especially feel it at the end of the year. I feel like my life has not been a success.

My career is not where I want it to be, my child is not at the point where I would like her to be and my family life did not work out.

I am trying to do the best with what each day puts in front of me, but sometimes its hard.

Does anyone else have regrets and how do they deal with them?

I'm having this problem.I want everyone to hear what I've got to say.Could you do it for me?Here's what I want you all to know.Whenever I tell people about this and they do care about it, I feel good.Otherwise I get a feeling of emptiness.I mean I don't like the fact that no one knows us even a bit.

I should've explained things more but sorry I thought you wouldn't like it to be longer than this.Please don't pay attention to the selfish tone of voice my American friend has givento this piece (since he edited it for me through email and changed it to some extent) and don't misunderstand me because of some exagerating words he's used like "overrunning etc".I'd love to know your opinion on this issue.If you don't have enough time save this, but read it whenever possible.This is very important and if it works on you, it may change your view toward the world issues.

Reclutance to have a boyfriend/girlfriend because you are scared people can't "picture" you with with a significant other, or scared of what people might say.

I have recently read a magnificent book called The Secret and it had said that we are the product of our thoughts and that we can be whatever we want in life -wealthy,happier,successful as long as we have gratitude for what we have now and i do believe this but its still hard to understand that we be what we want if we truly want it,does anyone else believe this to be true and do you believe in positive thinking in getting what we want?x

This morning I got up early. I looked outside, it was dark and raining and was very quiet. I just thought that how important things are in life / for life, which we just take for granted. Then was wondering how would we react or what would be the motivations left or how meaningless the things would be for which we keep worrying / running all through our lives - if the things we take for granted are not there ?
Serious thinkers are welcome.... No funny stuff please.

Ok, heres' s the problem...
My girlfriend has a habit of flirting with random guys too much.
She does this alot...thats why her last relationship ended. But she tells me she would never cheat on me.

I like her alot...but im afraid that 'something' will happen one day. I dont want to end this relationship, I wanna fix the problem. What should I do?

Is she just looking for attention from me?(I give her alot, I think)

Should I do the same, to make her know how it feels?(i'd be afraid to do that, I dont want her to get angry and fool around)

Should I keep telling her to stop, and that it bothers me?(I don't want her to think im overprotective/peranoid)

Heres some details about us. She knows she has this problem. We've only been together for about a ~month. Im 19, she's 18. Please help...

I wrote this guy that I really like who likes me just as much...we have been talking a few months now and I text him saying " Hey, just thought I would text you... I am having crappy sleep tonight lol so i am bored trying to find things to do lol. You are really sweet to me :). Everytime I talk to you you are. I just want to kiss you!." and I felt comfortable saying that ..i mean he sends me emails with xoxo on them. And he wrote back when he got it and said "awww...You are too sweet!" I mean it was not a bad reply i think..i was just expecting something a little more gratifying since I put myself out there and said that...something like "I want to kiss you too". Is his reply bad? I dont know if that means he would like that or not..is it good? really good? how do you percieve it..ty! And btw, he has called me beautiful, pretty, and amazing before...

Firstly I wish to appreciate this platform for sharing our knowledge and ideas with people arround the world. Thanks a lot for your time, effort and wishes!

We all know in Physics that according to law of attraction opposites attract, but similar poles repel. This applies to boy-girl attraction due to opposite sexes, but not fully as boy-boy and girl-girl attraction is also there! Moreover, relationship works well with like-minded people and is very difficult to carry over if two people have different belief systems. Now I fail to understand if similar poles repel each other, then how come similarity works in relationships?

If any one can solve this dileema for me and have some clarifications, then I will be very grateful to you. Any other view point (scientific / logical / practical / social) to explain this phenomenon is most welcome!

i have a panic attack when i am with somebody new, at work, at the shops and even with my husband when he stresses me out.It takes the form of not concentrating on what people say, i go very red and sometimes say just anything till i start to feel better. I suppose to some people i could be percieved as stupid!!!!
I walked in on a coversation with my boss and a colleague at work, where she was saying i was brain dead and they both laughed, which has put me in a very deep depression, i can't tell my boss the truth about my condition as she makes it very obvious she doesn't like me, she shuts me out of conversations and my colleagues have followed suite. I know this sounds paraniod but this has been going on for 5 years now and i have never caught her saying anything before i just suspected it. I get very panicky around her so it has a snowball affect, hence more problems for myself, self full filling profecy, can you help me on how to cope in this situation as it just getting worse?

Does your fantasies sometimes continue for days even months? Where you have a different life (or lives). Is it comforting? Why do you think we do this?
