psychologist
Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 9:20 pm
I wanted to ask what do you think of a male psychologist who acts more like a friend to his client. He would say things to his client "Your boss really hates you", "Dont trust your boss" (the only reason the boss was mean was because he missed his old secretary and wanted her back so he acted mean to the new one hoping the new secretary would quit) and the psychologist would say "I think you should give up your coworker as a friend, she gives you terrible advice she is going to get you fired" I mean if you gave up a friend every time they gave you bad advice you would not have any friends. SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE PSYCHOLOGIST?

Fear of driving
Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 7:20 pm
I'm 19 and have an extreme fear of driving. I have my license, but everytime I attempt to get over my fear, I end up having a panic attack and not being able to think. I am okay with side streets with no cars, but once I get onto busy streets with traffic, I'm terrified. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but I think it's because I'm afraid I'll blank out while multi-tasking (as in reading road signs/directions & staying aware of other traffic), make a mistake & end up getting into an accident. I'm not ADD, but I don't think I am capable of thinking about everything at once - if that makes any sense. I have to move out in a couple months leaving me with no choice but to drive myself around. I am just wondering what can help me g...

never good enough. never thin enough.
Posted Wednesday March 7 2007, 4:11 pm
Hi, i'm about 5'6 105. I know that i'm i guess.. "considered" thin, but i don't really believe it myself sometimes. I often feel fat and i always want to lose weigh. I come up with different diets, like eating just salad (lettuce with fat free dressing.) I do like food sometimes, so i'll want to eat something and feel kinda bad about it. I feel like i'm never thin enough.

Body Image
Posted Monday March 5 2007, 9:36 pm
I am a 17 year old female. For about the past 2 years (maybe longer) I have always wished I was skinnier. I KNOW I am not fat. I am average for my age and height, probably even on the smaller side. However, everyday, if I have nothing else to occupy my mind, I automatically begin to think about food, what I shouldn't eat, and how I want to loose a little weight. Not once in these few years have I ever attempted to do serious harm to my body...I have absolutley no will power. Even if I tried harder then anything in the world, I would not be able to go on any serious diet (I cave in too eaisly). Yes, I have tried cutting down a little, exercising, etc., but it has never gotten any where near any kind of eating disorder. The problem is, I can'...

How to get closure
Posted Sunday March 4 2007, 10:11 pm
How does one get closure? In other words, something happens they get reassured by the person who made the comment and/or someone like you how would the person it happened to put what happened to them behind them and move on.

Depression .. help?
Posted Wednesday February 28 2007, 11:01 pm
Okay, to start it off I'm 14 and I am a female.
I have had depression before, when I was in eigth grade, and during the end of that year it went away. Well now that I am in ninth grade, I am depressed again. I've got ADHD and I take Adderall for it. I have no self confidence, I am shy, and I'm not happy. I USE to be very confident and outgoing. Right now I am balling my eyes out, and I have no idea. I am very close with God and I've prayed about this a couple times and so has my family. I am balling my eyes out right now and I have no idea. Someone please help me, I can't stand being like this anymore.

Am I depressed?
Posted Wednesday February 28 2007, 9:19 pm
15/f. I'm a generally satisfied person. I'm OKAY with myself, I have everything I need (and could ever want) bla bla bla. I'm OKAY. But sometimes, everything turns upside down. And it happens so quickly that I can't tell if it's depression or not. I start feeling lonely, and worthless and very sad. Sometimes for no reason at all. But sometimes, even the TINIEST problem could tick me off. I get SO lazy, don't do my homework and just lay in my bed crying all day long. When something tiny happens, I get sooooooooo pissed and throw a tantrum or something. At moments like this, I start cutting myself, drinking, and just feeling like a worthless loser. I stay up until 12 A.M locked in the bathroom, whispering to myself (how much of a loser I am i...
