Inability to connect with others..?

Nobody is a bigger booster of self help for depression than me, but your question screams I NEED PROFESSIONAL HELP. Get yourself a doctor or a counselor by any means necessary. If it means going to the hospital dragging a 100-pound wooden cross and telling them that you're Jesus Christ and you want to have the Last Supper in the Psych Ward, do it. Overdose, family so dysfunctional the mom is denying the daughter necessary medical care ... What more proof do we need?

What does it mean when a girl says this to you?

One set of my great-grand-parents were Greek citizens. Does this entitle me to a Greek passport?

No the relationship it to distant. I would call the Greek Embassy to actually settle the question, because it has nothing to do with genealogy.

What should I major in at college?

I'm an incoming freshman and currently undecided. I had great grades and test scores in high school, but I really haven't found out what I want to do with my life. I wanted to be a Psychologist for a while, but don't really want to since the field is overpopulated, and my church counseling cousin advised me against secular Psychology. I would love to be a fiction author, but I realize the odds aren't good for that. I'm going to a liberal arts college, and I don't really have a subject stand out at me since I'm the definition of well-rounded. I do well in math, science, English, and lots in between. What should I do?

Final question to ask about lack of sex?

It sounds like a game you're both playing...try couples councelling to iron out the problems you are both having- it should become clear very quickly what you both should do. Good luck!

I know right now if you guys are going to read this story your going to say "that's life" than my point exactly, life is to hard and I quit! My parents are getting divorced..and my mother is lying to get us away from our father. Love really stinks in my life, I feel like I will never ever have the guys that I really want. My parents wouldnt never let me be what I really want to be as my career when I get older. So much drama is going on at school. I am so insecure about the way I look. I have strech marks. My butt is huge my thighs are huge my belly is kinda big I have like a hunch back my nose is huge I have ugly dry skin. I have weird parents and I feel so insecure and my parents yell at me every chance they get for NO REASON! when I try to loose the weight they don't let me. They don't let me have a sleepover ? Or got to party's even birthday parties. Hate life their is so much more you guys don't understand. What should I do? Counseling ? My parents wont let me do that. They dont let me out of the house! Help help help!

Do you think adult Barbie/figure collectors are weird?

I'm asking because I'm nearly 18 and have 3 Barbies... the reason why is because I have a counsellor due to self esteem issues, anyway one day I told her a story about Barbies when I was younger to illustrate how I felt about myself - I had all blonde Barbies and one day my mom (shes white I'm black) bought me a black Barbie which I just despised because I hated myself and that I was different from my family and my community and didn't want to be black, so I gave it away as soon as I got it. When I told her the story my counsellor suggested I go buy a black Barbie to symbolize that I accept myself now, which I did and I liked it... so I went and bought two more and now I'm thinking of collecting them. I don't sit around and play with them obviously lol but I do like having them... I'm just wondering if people (friends, family, boyfriends) will think it's weird or creepy. Thanks :)

My 15 year old daughter needs counseling should I enforce it?

My 15 year old daughter needs counseling as her dad is not in her life and even though she acts like she doesn't care I know better. I am concerned for her based on some very risky teenage girl behavior and want her to get the help she needs before she is older and so set in her ways that there is nothing and no one that will be able to help her or get through to her. She has a tendancy to push things down and pretend they don't matter instead of working through them and processing them; no teenager really knows how to work through their feelings I just feel that like myself at her age I didn't know just how much I needed the counseling and neither did my single parent Father, so I never received the counseling and therapy I needed.

PLEASE answer this!!?

Hi! How difficult is it to....!?

Well, most places in the US and place in the UK and parts of Europe you generally need a PhD to really do anything...Just a bachelors degree could get you into a masters program for school counseling or its equivalent. Otherwise a Bachelors just to practice is generally useless.

(10 points!!)guys only???????!?

There is no reason why he shouldn't talk to you. Unless this was not an abusive relationship or it ended on really bad terms, it is perfectly ok to catch up with or remain friendly with an ex boyfriend or girlfriend. As far as him being boring, can't help you with that.

Is this a good convo starter with girls to get #'s?

.Better to concentrate on one girl at a time. Gt friendly and socialise some. Then Exchange numbers. Your method won't work.As it's too direct

I seem to be emotionally unstable...?

Since youre so young saying you have a disorder is really tough. It could be normal hormones os it could be ypu are bipolar or depressed. The internet cannot tell you if you are or not sweety. Really all you can do is go see a doctor.

Girls/ladies! wow...how does one put themselves in this frame of mind? ?

talking to my friend he told me he once had a threesome with a girl and his best guy friend. the girl was basically a total stranger they just met on the beach. I mean I know we all fantasize about naughty things but jeez how does a girl do this to herself. I think it's demoralizing...hbu?

My husband is trying to force me to stay married to him. He wants to live with me again after he walked out.?

I have not been happy for a long time. He has been TEXTING me and wanting to reconcile, but I don't love him. He's mad because he does not know where I live now. He carries a fire arm and there is no way that I will go see him alone. I filed for the divorce two months ago, but he keeps filing these motions for counseling and I don't even want to be in the same room with him. He is trying to use me to get a place to stay. He even went so far as to say I illegally got my apartment without him which is not true. He was not approved to live with me. He lied to the courts and said he has no way to contact me and I have TEXT messages from him and emails where he threatened to hurt himself if I left him. He denied these allegations but I have the proof he sent this stuff. Can he keep dragging this out and can he use my information to file taxes even though we no longer live together? He also had the nerve to tell the court that I should pay him alimony. We have no children and no property. He has turned what should have been a simple dissolution of marriage into a 500 page nightmare. He feels that if he buries me in all these motions I will give up. I am a fighter and when I know I am right I will fight tooth and nail to prove it. Some of my family won't deal with me because he has done things and dragged them into this mess.

Can you do volunteer hours at a tennis club?

Do you think it's OK to volunteer at a tennis camp because I'm not sure if my guidance counsellor will accept it. She says you must somehow give back to the community. So what do you guys think, should I volunteer or not?

I really need some advice....?

omg! this is so awful, i thought i was depressed. im not sure, but maybe you should ask to speak to the therapist alone. give it a chance with your dad, youll be able to get away from this horrible school & ***** girl. try talking to a doctor about your depression, & dont be shy this is important. if you need someone to talk to ill be here. dont hurt yourself or anyone. & my brothers just like that, find a relative that you know loves you & try talking to them. go to school dont ruin your future because of some douche, try telling your friends the real story if they dont believe you make friends with the loners. the quiet people can accompany you really well. good luck, hope you feel better soon & live happy!!(= oh & maybe you can try letting your feelings out in stories, songs, plays, acting, dance, or art. thats what i do, it helps, trust!

My first job interview, what should I do?

I've got my first job interview for a summer job as a camp counsellor. I was told when I got the call today that I would be interviewed "panel style", so what does that mean? Also, I'm a teenage boy so should I sort of dress up for it? They said that it would be a plus if I had first aid but I don't. So basically I was wondering if you have any suggestions on what I should do, or any interview questions that I might recieve for this type of job and also, what do I do and how should I act at a panel style job interview. Thanks to all who add input (:

Is there any point in confessing my issues to, say, a school counsellor?

Lol, are you studying psychology? That's textbook bipolar (although actual bipolar is of course more involved). It might help you to talk to someone, but talking doesn't tend to help with bipolar as it's a chemical imbalance. if you have bipolar you need drugs, not a therapist. So see a medical doctor.

My 5yr old son is being mean to small animals...how do i get him to stop?

My 5yr old son has lived with him mother all his life up until about a month ago, when i filed for emergency custody and was awarded custody of him. Today when i picked him up from the sitters they informed us that he has been being mean and cruel to their cats and dogs. They said they talked to him about it and we tried to talk to him about it and when we asked him if he thought that when he slammed their cat up against the wall it didn't hurt the cat he said no...and when he was throwing a ball at their elderly dog he thought it was funny. I was shocked by his answers and punished him for what he had done. i am at a lose as to what to do. Now mind you while living with his mother he was allowed to watch movies such as Child's Play and knows all to well who the Chucky character is and believes that he is real. She is also seeing a convicted man, since Oct of last year, who was sent to prison back in 1991 for murder 2 on an 18 month old child and seems to have no issues with what this man has done. My son has told my wife and i that this man has been abusive to him but will not tell his mother anything because when he tried a few times before she told him she wasn't going to make him leave because she loves him. I am looking into getting him counseling ASAP but i guess i am also looking for a few answers or helpful tips to help deal with this in the meantime....

Anxiety is getting me into trouble at school i need help please?

Start on an anti-depressant. I know it's probably not what you'd like to hear but it's shown to be the most effective way to treat anxiety related disorders. Ask your doctor. I've been on an anti-depressant for 6 months now and I hardly get stressed or anxious at all anymore. Side-effects of sleepiness may occur within the first few weeks of treatment but it gets better and it won't affect your ability to concentrate :)

Jehovah's Witnesses: Does your church count on your poor study habits? "What does the Bible Really Say?"?

NOTHING is omitted and to be honest with you...I mean if you can handle honesty....I didn't bother to read all of your stuff because you have exposed who you are! NOTHING is omitted in the scriptures and you should know that, for you to be quoting; "What Does the Bible Really Say?" And have a pleasant evening, and try to be at PEACE!

If you say to do research on some written material, provide a recommendation of written material, do not merely say read a book in the library or search online. But reference names of specific books and websites if this is your answer.

Why does life seem so bleak and helpless to me...?? Help?

I'm 18 years old guy and I should be feeling the contrary, as with most of my friends. I believe one big factor to this is the fact that while most of my friends are going to universities straight after high school, while I am not because I messed up in high school (horrible start, decent finish) due to personal and health issues. So I don't know what to in life now...? And I'm constantly feeling depressed and ashamed, to the extent where I have severe insomnia and nauseating pains in my head and cases of delirium. I also feel a little F*cked in the head, cuz my mind wanders so much and I can barely focus. I'm the brink of a nervous breakdown, and possible a mental one too. Help me out please? (don't care if ur christian, jew, atheist i just need counsel)

Can I stay with an alcoholic?

As you may know, only he can change himself he has to want to. He needs to first realize that he has a problem, only then can he seek help. He neds to find out why he needs to "self medicate", what is really bugging him. One way or another he will stop be it a dui , jail, or his health. He does want to change and sounds like he does love you. The trouble is he is addicted to alcohol and it is not that easy to just stop when that is what you have been doing for years. it is up to you to support him stand by him better or worse....or.......tell him if he doesn't stop or you and the kid have to leave. btw when she told be that i got so pissed and said eff it leave then. im glad she didn't good luck to you many wives go to alanon codependents of alcoholics. pray on it too.

How can I start eating in front of people again?

I get it. I do. I was like that, kinda still. But be confident. You really need to love yourself and say hey, "I'm not so bad". I know I sound like some counselor right now, but seriously that's just the way to go. :] You may feel fat, but just look around, there are people much MuCh bigger. We're human, we eat. we drink, we laugh, and we make mistakes. If someone says something, ignore it, think something happy, call someone and just talk about something funny. It'll take your mind off of things. It's going to be hard, but you'll get there. Good luck! :D And always stay happy

Favorite artist from least favorite genre?

I like some of Kristina DeBarge's songs from her Exposed album. R&B is my very least favorite genre. I hate it in fact. Kristina is not my fav artist but I like some of her songs.

Do you think he likes me?

So this guy I know randomly messaged me on facebook "Hey!" last Thursday. We talked the whole night. He said "sorry about max and dan" (annoying me) He asked who I thought was cute in our grade and I said their names.... Hbu? He said "2 allies and you". I was like so you like us all? He says "No just you!" He also asked "do I have a shot?" (dating?) and I said maybe. He was like "how can I change that into a yes?" we kept on flirting. He says hes liked me since January. Ive liked him for like a month now. Should I tell him? He is usually not serious and we never talked really before so it's awkward and kinda strange. What do you think? We haven't talked since cause I was in Paris during spring break and he just got home today from his.

How to talk to my school counsellor?

The feelings you say about yourself is why you do need to see the counselor. You'll be very surprised how easy it is talking with a stranger. They know nothing about you and are not judgmental .... they should not judge you. They will help raise your self esteem. Please don't let principle MAKE you go, be grown up and do it yourself. Be OPEN and WILLING to learn more about yourself. Good Luck

Will i ever get over this....should i stay with him if not?

okay so I was dating this guy for about a year and we broke up for 3 months and were in the process of getting back together when he goes and hooks up with another girl...he than tells me he doesnt want me anymore and continues to not speak to me and pretty much ruins my reputation with some people. we havent talked for 4 months and he recently texted me and we have been hanging out. I know he was seeing this other girl and they did sleep together. i still love him and when we are together i am really happy. the only thing is i can't get her out of my head. she is everywhere and just yesterday we were hanging out and she texted him, i can't even explain the feeling that came across me, it felt like my heart dropped and it makes me so sad. I brought it up to him and he says there is nothing going on and he will do anything to be with me again. He tells me he loves me and he is sorry for screwing everything up....will i ever get her out of my head? everything he did to me the past four months hurt the worst something has ever...i hated him during that time and had to go through counseling and was depressed....but i do still love him and I don't know if i should get back with him....what are your thoughts??

Should i txt him telling him wat i really feel?

yes, you should tell him! he deserves to know the truth, and you'll feel much better after you tell him. and i wouldnt consider it pushy, your not pushing him into anything, you are just gonna be straight up with him.

Why Am I So Scared To Have A POOP At School? ***PLEASE READ DETAILS BELOW***?

I'm having problems at school. I hate the thought of going for a poop there. Everyday I wake knowing I have to go to school and I practically burst into tears.I told my mum it was a stomach pain and now and to this moment now she still doesn't know that it's me worrying about the toilet! She wants me to see a counsellor to get to the bottom of this supposed "pane". I have been trying to make myself go in the morning by eating fruit, exercising and drinking plenty of water. And now I think the more I think about it the more I need to go to the toilet. Is this possible? HELP! ----- P.S --> I have been worrying so much about it that I have even missed school and my maths grades have dropped (I'm meant really good at maths) because I have missed so much school!

Types of paying jobs that Women can have in a Church?

I was wondering if anyone could give me any information or advice about a specific topic? I am a military spouse and we travel a lot. Because of this, I have been looking online for degrees that can be done online at home. There are a couple of things that I came across that really interest me. I'm just a little unsure about them and was hoping that people would have some information. I am a woman and saw a few different degrees that interest me. One is a Bachelor in Leadership/Ministry for the Church. The other is basically a Bachelor in Christian Counseling. I am unsure if a Bachelor in Christian Counseling would actually allow you to become a Counselor at a Church or if you will need to further the degree to at least a Masters.I am also unsure if a Bachelor in Leadership/Ministy would be something that I could do as a woman. A lot of Churches have men in Leadership roles. I also hate the fact that this is necessary but my husband and I really need a second income and right now my husband is the only one working. He's allowing me to get a degree while he works. I love Church, I love God, I love helping others and allowing God to be the focus. I think that I would love either of these choices because of the above reasons but also because they are paying jobs. Does anyone have any advice or information that could answer some of these questions and clarify some of the things that I am unsure of? Also, what other paying jobs can women have within a Church, other than Child Care? I would really like a Bachelor Degree that would allow me to work at a Church but I'm a little lost on what I can do or be. I hate that a paycheck is something that I have to think about when involving God and the Church, but its just necessary for me to help support my husband and myself, plus one day, kids. This is something that I really want to do but I'm not sure exactly what I should be looking for or what I can do, especially as a woman. I am of a non-denominational faith. I realize that there are many women who work within Church, I just don't know what jobs I could have. I just know that I want the degree to come along with it. Any ideas, information, or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

Do i really have to???? PLEASE HELP 10 points!?

I live in Washington, USA. and im almost 16 in a month. i don't like my dad and i don't want to see him! he always calls me fat and makes me work out and makes me watches like fat people videos and always makes me cry and i remember one time he made a big deal about how he was "messing with my brother and i" (my brother was almost 19 and i was 15 in like a week or 2) he was basically pushing my head into his stomach so i couldn't breath so i was like moving around and squirming and i accidentally ALMOST pulled his pants down. What does he do? he goes outside tells on his girlfriend and i was in bed and my dad wakes me and my brother up and we had to stand and listen while shes outside drinking stupid wine by the fire pit outside saying "what did you do wrong to ur dad" and i was like "what?" and shes like "you were trying to pull his pants down" and i was like "uh he was suffocating me!" and she said "i don't wanna hear excuses" and making a big deal about it making me almost cry because i hate them so much! he spoils his fiance and sometimes i think shes using him for the money. i wanted a laptop for my birthday because he forgot about it 2 weeks late and he said he couldn't buy me a better one then a mini laptop because he was "low on money" he just spent $25,000 on his BACKYARD with the hottub, fire pit, and a new paved deck thing and a $800 black pearled necklace for her. but when i was 14 (in September 2009 and my bday is in august by the way) i stopped seeing him and he went to court in July 2010 and it cost my mom and dad each $1,500 and my dad is basically rich and my mom and i don't have a lot of money and live in a apartment. and i started seeing him the whole summer and spent a few weeks and then stopped seeing him AGAIN in November 2010 and now its 2011 and almost July and he wont leave my mom alone and he texted my mom if i dropped out of my high school because i got very sick with pneumonia transferred to online school and basically failed sophomore year. and drove past my apartment. Anyways i don't want to see him! all my friends tell me if im older then 13 and i shouldn't have to see my dad because its a law and they don't see their dad(a lot of my friends hate their dad) my mom is telling me i have to or she will go to jail or whatever. i don't want to wait til im 18!!! they said i can go to counseling but i will only do that unless my dad is making me see him again for sure. i know he will probably text me one of these days! what can i say to him to make him leave me alone! i cant cuss or be to rude or he will take my mom to court! Thanks!

I LIKE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

so theres this guy in my school i really like, tall, blonde, and blue eyes, and he has been texting me a couple times, and each time asking me who i liked. i never answered with him , always saying idk. every time he would say me a little bit. then he would ask if i had to like someone, and i would say him. we don’t really talk much during school, only text. i texted him last week, and again he asked who i liked , i said im not sure hbu, and he said this other girl in my grade. i was completely heartbroken. the last time i talked to him was today just to say happy easter. i want to text him again to let him know i like him, since were not going to the same school next year. i dont want to sound annoying though. i hear the girl he likes likes him back, and are planning to hookup. im not sure whether its just a rumor. what should i do ?

How is this counsellor going to help me?

Counselors can normally help by giving you advice on how to cope with your previous abuse and helping relax you mentally. He will talk to you, and become friends with you, and hope to find out the cause of why you're so afraid still. He'll try to see if it's due to your new boyfriend, or due to paranoia. He could also prescribe you with something, or try other therapeutic methods to help you cope. Best wishes and I hope you feel better soon.

Recover from anorexia ?

we have a similar dilemma haha. I'm a recovering anorexic and i know how it feels and recently i've been feeling the same as you. I think i'm going to see my therapist again and hopefully things will get better so maybe you should try that :)

Self-mutilator...please don't say counseling!?

I started biting my nails. Then I started peeling the skin off my fingers. I decided to nix the habit. Then I started pulling skin from the balls of my feet until they bled. I know I need to stop but I can't help it. I don't want to go to a counselor or a therapist cause all they will do is try to say I do this cause I'm depressed or something. I don't even know why I do this.

Is Bachmann a leech on society because she received almost $300k in state aid?

No the biggest corrupt party in the world is the republican party. People who vote for them are brainwashed by radio and tv commentators. Add a kernel of truth to some big lies and they seem believable. Did you know that there is an invention that came out which will replace gasoline? This stuff will be super cheap to buy, that's why they are releasing oil from the strategic reserve. I just made that last part up, but because I added the news from the strategic reserve, it gave it a kernel of truth. People buy into that.

How much time do we have until Obamacare converts the US into a post-apocalyptic wasteland?

Filled with roving gangs, mutated animals, death squads, murderous robots, disease, crazy doctors who have to do medical services but can't get a paycheck anymore and so they now murder people in order to make a living, CEOs having to resort to being muggers and gang leaders because they can't make money, death panels patrolling the heartland looking to do a little "end-of-life counseling" on whoever they come across, death, starvation, etc.?

Would you end a friendship because your married friend keeps having affairs?

I have a girlfriend who has been in an unhappy marriage for 27 years and has had numerous affairs in probably 20 out of those years, which I've heard about over the past 11 years. I've tried everything from ignoring it and minding my own business to recommending counseling, separation, listening. Even though we've been very good friends, I just snapped out of anger the other day, telling her to get off her rollercoaster ride of claiming she's in love with a boyfriend, while remaining married to her husband. I think my anger shocked her so much that she backed off and has since promised me that she will get counseling and start taking steps to either separate or divorce. But now, I view her such distain that I can barely make eye contact with her. Do you think that my feelings now make me a bad friend? And, what would you do...how would you feel?

Need help with jealousy issues?

i had an event occur about 6 months ago where my wife told me a couple of guys hit on her, one on FB and the other in her office, she told the guy on FB that she was happily married and not interested and the guy at her office who had somewhat jokingly crossed the line several times, she just ignored his advances and more casually shrugged it off, she said this was because she didnt feel threatened and had worked with him for 3 years and he had only done this 2 or 3 times. My wife has been great and reassured me that there is no threat, after she could see i was feeling anxious about the guy at her work, she even told him that i knew about what he had said and that i was upset, and to knock it off. I've been happily married 12 years, my wife has done everything in her power to reassure me and yet i still feel vunerable and anxious, i imagine situations were the guy at her office is hitting on her, she told me about it some time after the first occurance. She still sits next to the one guy that hit on her several times and has a good work relationship with him again, i really want to talk to my wife about how i am feeling, i know its irrational, and i know she hasnt done anything wrong, but i am worried it will push her away knowing i am still having some problems. I know this is my problem and i know counseling is probably the suggestion, just want to know if you think talking it through again with my spouse would be a good idea.

What do you think my mom means by this?

im majoring in economics. sometimes I mention financial analyst jobs (after graduation and 3, 4 years of experience). she always says "yeah, but those jobs are hard." does she think I'm not smart enough, or this is just something I'm sensitive of? my mom is more interested in science; when I talk about econ she doesnt care but she loves my bio class. I just want to make my mom prooud; because it makes ME happy; then that makes my grades better. She said I could do genetic counseling. What do u guys think? Should I change my major to a minor, and talk to a school counselor about genetic couseling? i'm 20.

GIRLS OR BOYS!!: what do you think about this?

Okay he sounds like a douche. Honey i don't want to sound mean but you sound clingy. Let him go. I don't think he hates you but this should be clear he doesn't like you, I'm sorry about that but you need to move on and give him his space. From these messages it seems you made him uncomfortable and he didnt know what to say. He was trying to be nice by blaming himself making you feel you shouldn't want to be friends with him when in reality he really doesn't want to be friends. The end was a clear sign you were annoying him. My advice is to let him go. He isn't worth being friends with and holding onto...and believe me. It's not better talking to him than not talking to him at all. People always think they should be friends but it doesn't work. Don't try to be friends with an ex unless your guy's relationship was like a friendship and you were close enough to still be friends. You will know when that is. And even than it isn't right away. Give him his space and leave him alone. You will be fine without him and deserve MUCH better.

Serious college troubles! Please help me!?

For this semester I have been taking this advanced English 1130 class along with a Math class while being on Academic probation. The English 1130 class can prepare anyone for University and I've been told by many at my campus that it is a very difficult course to pass. However, I have no intention of going to University and I have all the requirements of the Early Childhood education program that I want to apply for in September. I have been working to the best of my effort and studying hard but I have been getting "C-'s" and got one F on an assignment. I also took the midterm exam and don't know what mark I got for that yet. Today, I found out from my dad that he finally admitted to me that the only reason he wanted me in the English 1130 class is for me to get out of the house all day so that he and my mom won't have to deal with me. I got real angry and stressed about that. I have not told my parents about my academic probation and since the withdrawal date is coming up I'm seriously thinking of withdrawing from English 1130. The odds for me to pass this course seems very slim and if I don't withdraw I could very well risk failing the course and end up in Academic Suspension for a whole semester and I don't want that. Even if I do withdraw from the class, I can possibly avoid suspension but also have to tell my parents about the withdrawal. I told my Dad about the marks I've been getting in my assignments and he says to me to just keep going; try my best with the course and even if I don't pass I can still learn something from it. But that won't cut it with the campus administration and registrar's office if I failed the course because they will still suspend me. I've also talked with an academic advisor and a counsellor about this and they are no help. With my campus, it seems that the right hand does not know what the left is doing so I'm getting mixed messages from everyone. I know this is long but can someone (ANYONE) help me with this difficult situation that I'm in?

Counsellor wants to tell my parents :/?

Is a transfer certificate necessary while counselling ?

since my name is in the waiting list of the merit list, it is not confirmed whether i would get admission or not in a college. in such case while coming for the counselling do i need to bring the transfer certificate from the college i have been admitted to right now ?

What does a guidance counsellor do on a daily basis?

There are hundreds of kids in a school, not just you. 50% of them have major and minor issues. Most counselors are overwhelmed with kids' issues. You'd be surprised. Everything from drugs, physical and verbal abuse, anorexia, pregnancies, etc. And every now and again I'm sure some kid asks to be counseled about what college or major they should take.

Boyfriend doesnt believe in me?

Listen men watch porn point, blank, period! I assure you it has nothing to do with his attraction towards you. I have been married to a man for 3 years now and he still watches porn. No big deal. You just need to realize that you're beautiful. Maybe have a talk with him. Let him know that you need to hear that more often. He needs to be boosting your confidence in other ways. Hope things work out!

Anyone here have narcissistic parents? Do you think mine might be?

My parents are the same - poor you. I can't do anything right - I have bought shame on the family and they are so disappointed in me. I tried to commit suicide at 11 years old and all they were worried about is what people would think. In fact my dad explained how to kill myself properly. I miscarried my first child - my dad said good as it may turn out like me. Nastiness all the time. I am 45 and I still get it. People tell me to keep away from them as they are toxic - but I can't. Good luck.

Give me a good name for an eccentric guidance counsellor?

I have no friends and i'm 20 in a week's time. What is wrong with me?

Just relax and be more open and positive. Try new things that you like - an art, yoga or cooking class, or join a club about something you like. Don't be afraid to smile and let yourself go and have a good time and you'll be making friends in no time!

"Are there no poor houses, no work farms for these people to go to" Who said that Dickens or Bachmann?

Establishing a legal business, Christian counselling girls with "eating disorders" while being paid to institutionalize them on your farm, and let them work as therapy, sounds like a great business to be in, who could I talk to about that?

Scared I might have Bipolar?

The fact that you KNOW there is something wrong with you is half the battle. My oldest daughter suffered from depression for years. However, when she had her son her whole personality changed. She became angry at everything, she never slept, and she lost a lot of weight. I knew something wasn't right. When I found her crying at 2 am at the kitchen table, I knew I needed to get her help. The first doctor just told her she had postpartum depression and gave her an antidepressant. All that did was make her sleep. We went to two doctors before she was diagnosed with bipolar depression and anxiety. She was given medication and therapy and now she is great. Please don't listen to the doctors that tell you there's nothing wrong. You know yourself better than anyone. Even if you have to go to the emergency room and say you feel like your coming apart, to get help, do it. So many people (doctors) don't want to take the time to "really " listen. Scream if you have to but find someone to help you before you do something you can't take back. Talk to your family or a friend you trust that can be your advocate. Don't try to go it alone. I will pray for you - God Bless.

Is my life screwed because I messed up in high school?

Hello everyone im a depressed 18 year old guy who's graduating high school within a few weeks. Anyway, I'll make it brief. I had a attendence problem due to personal and health issues, which was a major setback and I had hard time focusing and staying motivated in school. No languages, honors or AP classes on me. Freshman and Sophomore was disasterous, junior and senior year were better but it really doesn't matter. University straight out is out of reach for me. My parents and school counsellors highly recommend Community College and transferring. But I don't know, how screwed am I? What should I? Help a poor brother out please?

What causes seizures?

last year I started having seizures. after further tests the doctors concluded that they were not caused by epilepsy. They concluded they were due to stress from receiving subpoenas from a rape case that was taking over 2 years to start and was keeping me from enlisting in the marine corps because they couldn't release my counseling records until the man who raped me was tried. However, the trial began and ended last summer and I was seizure free for a year and then I had a two more. I believed they were also from stress due to the fact that my husband was not receiving his full paycheck and we were constantly borrowing money from family and were worrying how we were going to pay our rent or afford diapers for our son and I found out I was pregnant again. We recently discovered that they fixed his pay and we are going to be receiving all the money we should have been getting in the first place so we will be able to afford everything we need and then some and still be able to pay everyone back the money they lent us. I'm not stressed about anything anymore however when I woke up this morning I realized I had another seizure and have no idea what could have caused it.

My dad is cheating on my mom, Help?

My mom caught my dad cheating on her with someone that works with him. My mom is totally devastated to the point that she stopped eating and lost about 70 pounds. She also got cosmetic surgery (breast implants, liposuction and sculpting) to try and win him back (against my begging and trying to convince her that it wouldn't get her what she wants). She is totally an emotional wreck and she has done a total personality 160. She also lost her job before she found out, which didn't help at all. He gave her STD's as well - from that woman. I want to be her rock - even though many of you will probably tell me to but out. It's hard for me to be though, because I have college to worry about. I'm running out of ideas. Do you think they should both go to infidelity counseling ( I think my mom should leave him though) or should she go to counseling to get empowered? I want her to become the strong woman she was before. Any advice can help, thanks guys :)

Whats your favorite quote ?

its difficult to say who does you the most mischief: enemies with the worst intentions or friends with the best intentions

Do you have a friend like this? I need advice? What should I do?

I hate people like that! Ugh! They are so hard to be friends with, and yet everybody "loves" them, when you just want to yell at them to SHUT UP. Try to stay away from her for a while and see if any thing gets better. Sometimes people mature and your problem could get better. Good luck, I feel for you!

Great the depression got worse :(?

Drop the job, find more time to hang with your friends, tell your parents about your depression, etc. Ask if they can pay for some of the loan, but mainly enjoy life. Live life to the fullest! And there is always finding a job somewhere else if that didn't work!

So Teens, what do you like about youself? +BQ?

I love my personality most of the time. I love my imagination and my creativity. I have a natural affinity for music and art. I also quite like how I look. Happy with life right now XxX

What can I do in the meantime?

Prepare yourself for your meeting. Write down all of your thoughts and feelings. Try to discover the root of your depression so you can talk it out with the therapist.

How to fit in at school?

Be yourself! Don't change for others! You will find friends its not something that will happen over night!! Pick something your interested in join a club and find someone with the same interests.

YOU WILL FIND YOUR GROUP OF FRIENDS!!! Like I said don't change who you are to fit in because then they are not really friends!!

Missing mum and dad too much??!!?

Please, go visit a therapist. Maybe you don't realize this, but it's not OK to be miserable every day, and to be scared all the time. You deserve a happy life, and happiness is not where your life is leading to right now. Therapists are professionals and they deal with people with similar problems daily. They will know how to help you. Look, you've done so much, you've been such a fighter and so helpful to those in need, even though it wasn't easy at all. Why should you suffer? It is so unfair. Noble people like you deserve better. Please, don't spend one more day in pain. You don't deserve it! And you will see, as soon as you talk to someone, after that first session, you will feel much better, and everything will be OK. A therapist can show you how to look at the bright side of life and how to deal with the difficulties. Just remember: you've helped so much, you deserve a somebody to help you a little to be better :)

How do i deal with an anger problem?

I feel as that i have developed an anger problem. I say thing to people I don't want to say and am always hurting my hand punching ****. I think to some degree it may start to cost me my job. I need help in controlling it. People tell me to count to 10 or 20 but that never works for me. I've been thinking about getting counseling, but I can't afford a therapist. I really think i need some help. I don't wanna hurt someone or myself. Also i exercise a lot and am on concerta (an add medication) If that helps any. Im coming to the conclusion that this has started when i was a young kid. I remember me and my brother getting into fights and him running away when he saw how pissed I was. I don't know if my parents have anything to do with it either. Just if anyone has some advice?

Why does he say that he likes me and I mean alot to him then he ignores me?

So I knew someone last year and he was in my gym class. I had a crush on him the whole semester, but I never told him. At the end of the year he moved away, and I haven't seen him sence. But almost two weeks ago my friend was spending the night at my house and I went on her facebook and I noticed he was on chat so I sent him a message telling him it was me. And we were talking and we both remembered eachother and we were talking bout things that we remembered about eachother and I started to like him again. I just didn't say anything bout it. Then my friend had to go so I gave him my number and told him to text me. Not even 10 seconds later I got a text from him. We texted eachother till almost 2 in the morning. Over the next week, we texted every day. We talked bout everything. I even admitted to him how I had a crush on him that whole semester and he told me that he liked me then to. Later we were playing the question game and I said "ok do you like me as more then a friend..?" and he said "ya.hbu?" and I said "yea(:" then we talked about how we still like eachother. He's told me how much I mean to him, how I'm his other half, and he said all this sweet stuff. The other night he even said "(: I'm goin to bed nighty night. Love ya!" it made me really happy. We've talked on the phone and everything and he's just so funny. But here's the thing...some moments he's telling me how I'm his girl and he says how much I mean to him and other times he'll ignore my texts for hours and when he does text me he doesnt really say much. Then he'll say how much I mean to him. Then it's right back to ignoring me. I think he really does like me alot and I believe that I do mean alot to him. It's just sometimes it confuses me, how he acts. What do you people think??

I don't cry with a lot of movies or books but at the end of Bridge to Terabithia i blubber like a baby :) hbu?

Why would a guy do this?

because he sounds like a young teenage flirt that you shouldn't worry about anymore. just ignore it, and I'm sure if he sees that you don't care at all he will come running back to you (if that's what you really want). but honestly don't worry about him, guys like that aren't worth it. you want someone that wants you and only you

Does my wife need more counseling ?

it was my wife idea to separate from from marriage we gave been married 4years and living together 10years with 2 children. we don't get along and she said that she doesn't love me anymore at first it hurt me to hear my wife say that but now I got over that. we still live together I stay away from her so we wouldn't have arguments. I'm ready to move on now I inform her that I was still going to be there on whatever she needed for as long as she needed it even if she had another man in her life. I said to her that she was the love of my life and she can count on me. she said that we are moving to fast and wants more counseling. I don't know what to do anymore I think she is only playing around or is she only going this because she is angry

How can i help myself?

My mum knows I suffer from mild depression, yet its a taboo subject for her. I find it hard to believe most times that I do. I have a supportive friend who has been through the same thing, and says I can talk to her anytime, and she's made me realise that I need help. So when I cry in front of my mum, telling her I feel tearful for no reason, she tells me (and has done so every time I feel low) that I'm wallowing in self pity. She has said this so many times. She said there is no reason why I should feel tearful. She told me truthfully that I should so things to occupy my mind and I'm the only one who can help myself. I agree with that totally. But she told me as long as I 'keep this up' I might kill myself at 25, and 'what a waste that would be'. She said she'd been through the same thing before, which I know of, and I could try many, many counsellors, but in the end its all up to me. She said they never work for her. For the past month, I have hit rock bottom. I constantly need my friends around me, because I'm terrified to be left alone with my thoughts. There are some days when the feeling is just not there. And there are other days when its worse than ever. Right now, I feel totally helpless, but also guilty that I feel this way, and totally stupid. My mum continually telling me its self-pity makes me feel awful, and worthless, which results me in self-harming. I somehow need a confidence boost.

What are good hiding places for diaries?

Ok so I have to hide my diaries in more secure locations. Currently, I have one under my mattress, and the other is in an ed hardy perfume box. The perfume is in a plastic molding so there is space underneath it. I feel like it may be found since my mom is home all day and I have found that she looks through my things. If anyone ever read my diaries, they would never speak to me again, I will be sent back to anger management, therapy, and counseling. I will be sent to a psychiatric ward. There is serious stuff in there and secrets that noone can ever discover. So what sre some good hiding place? List more than one. And please nothing crazy, like in the vent or in a wall. I need it in my house and room preferably. Thanks.

How can i handle my brother?

My big brother tells me i am lucky he isn't a douche to me. But i feel so much anger and hurt from him because he easily tells people that I have anger issues and really need counseling. He goes into much more personal things than that also, when speaking to his friends. He tells them very personal things about when i was depressed and all the issues my brother believes I have. He's gone so far as to say to them that Im manic bipolar, even though i am not. The only time i ever feel angry is when im around him. I've asked him to stop and he pretends he doesnt know what i mean. He attacks all i do. How do i cope or deal with this? I have asked my parents for help but they ignore what i say because my brother is the oldest and is the only son. Anything he says or does is forgivable in my family. It is true i get angry alot, but this is when i am around my family. Outside of my home i am a pretty positive person and mellow. I have approached my psych prof. about counseling and she said i seem fine from all her observations of me, we even had a session together and she said i appear emotionally and mentally stable ( i did this because what my brother said got to me). so what the hell? how do i deal with this dude?

I've told so many lies, does anyone have any suggestions?

I've been in counselling with CAMHS for around 6 months now. I got referred because of a self-harm episode. I told my head of year, and then I got into counselling after being referred by my doctor. I had done it twice. I had done it once, let that fade slightly, and then did it again, then told someone. But I only told everyone about the second time. No one, including my counsellor, knows I had done it before. So then I went without self harm for over 2 months. Things at school got worse. The bullying got worse. Everything wherever I went got worse, including my self harm. Everytime I did it, it got worse. I started to hide it better. But all the time, no one except my friend Daniel knew. I kept stopping and starting. Now, it's a regular thing. I have lots of personal reasons, like every self harmer, but the main one is that I feel like I don't deserve to be happy. No matter how many times people tell me I am, and I am more deserving than anyone, it just makes me feel worse. It has literally got to the point where I don't want to live anymore. I almost got hit by a car, and I spent the next week wondering why that car had to swerve at the last minute, and how I could almost get hit again, but make sure I actually did some damage this time. Everytime I go to my counselling sessions, I lie. Everyone, except from Daniel, I lie to. I know I need help, but the lies are so deep now that I don't know what to say to undo it all.

Want my parents to take me to a therapist, I think it might help?

Based on your profile picture it seems like your projecting. You probably feel like the world is against you and nothing will get better. I suggest get of the internet, stop listening to harmful music, and drop the emo overtones. Depression is so easy to beat if you try, no shrink needed.

How can I tell my boyfriend that I have fallen out of love with him? Honest answers please.?

You cannot deny what your heart feels. If you feel this be straight forward and honest with him and move on. Its not fair for him or for you, someone is prone to get hurt at the end. Follow your feeling and do what is right by expressing this to him. I don't feel counseling can fix what your heart feels. People often feel its an obligation to remain with the father or mother of their chiildren. Both of you can be very vocal and active in your child's life without being together. So give it thought and again follow your feelings. Because more then likely you are going to feel the same way later on and wished you had moved forward. I wish you all the best.

Can anyone help me write a treatment plan and progress notes?

The problem is, I don't know how to write a treatment plan and progress notes for a methadone clinic. I need an example. I have been doing research to learn and I haven't completely got it yet. Can someone help me?

Do you think Michele Bachmann only likes subsidies when they are for her to the tune of $290,000?

The Bachmann family farm received $260,000 of our tax money in the form of subsidies and her husbands counselling clinic received $30,000 for a grand total of $290,000 yet she would like to cut the programs that feed the poor and put a roof over the heads of people that would be on the street.

12 and lost my virginity to the wrong boy....?

im 12 and i lost my virginity to the wrong boy... I really like this boy, and we had sex a couple of times... after the sex, i liked him even more... we dated for about a month, and after he got caught having sex with me, he broke up with me immediately. Then i found out he got me pregnant... i told my parents, and they kicked me outta the house. i lived with a friend for a while and then i came back. I got really suicidal after all of this.. i kept cutting myself and i tried to hang myself. Then my mom told me she was going to press charges against him, cause hes 15.. then i was actually going to kill myself that night... but then i thought about it for a while, and thought it wasn't worth it. i was 8 weeks pregnant when i miscarried, i was really upset about it, but that was probably the best for me since my body isn't even ready for a baby. my ex still asks me to have sex with him, and he always asks me to come over since he lives like 4 houses away from me, which makes it even worse. I still really really like him.. and i know all he wants from me is sex. i've tried to talk my mom outta of pressing charges but she wont listen, and she thinks he raped me but i keep telling her it was 100% consensual!! but shes a B*tch and wont listen to anything i have to say about it. What should i do about this? should i do counseling? please help me out!

Trying to cope with something that happened thirty years ago (and bring my family closer together again)?

In 1981, my eight-year-old brother Andrew was kidnapped by a family acquaintance and held hostage for three weeks. During this time, he was routinely beaten and sexually abused by his captor. He was also burned with boiling water and forced to listen while his captor made crank calls to our family pretending to be the police, telling us that Andrew had been found. He was rescued after three weeks. It had taken that long to track him down because his captor had them moving around all the time. It's strange to me how a period of time as short as three weeks could destroy so many lives, and leave so many still broken after thirty years. Andrew's body recovered from the trauma, but his mind never healed. The Andrew that came back to us was not the Andrew we had previously known. Before the trauma, Andrew was very social and outgoing. We were only two years apart and always very close. I never had any other brothers or sisters. He was a sweet little boy with a good sense of humor, and, being an older sister, I teased him constantly. Not meanly, but in a playful way. He is the most ticklish person to ever walk planet Earth, and as a little kid he loved it when I tickled his feet. We wrestled and play-fought and just enjoyed being with each other. When he came back, everything changed. Andrew had always been close to me and my parents also, but after he came back he acted like he couldn't even stand the sight of us. I could never understand that. I thought he should be happy to be back with us, people who loved him. He told me when he was older that I was a stranger to him and that there was a gulf separating him from everyone else. He was resentful that other people hadn't been where he had been. When he first came back and started beng like that, I tried so hard to bring him back. I tickle-attacked him like I used to and even though he squirmed and laughed just the same, he didn't enjoy it at all. He wouldn't wrestle either, and didn't seem to want to be around me at all. He did well in school and never had issues with drugs and alcohol, he's been successful in life and has a wife and kids, but for the past thirty years you can tell that something in him is just gone. Something inside him died all those years ago and, despite this, I still hope so hard that I can bring him back. I still see him and our children play together, but that confidence is gone. He underwent counseling as a child and teen but it didn't help him and he doesn't see anyone anymore. I encourage him to see someone about his depression and the pain he still feels but he says it wouldn't make any difference. I'm sorry this post is so long but I just don't know what to do to help him. He's physically healthy and financially stable, but I want to be close to him again and my parents want the same. Is there anything I can do to bring him back, to make us all just a little closer?

Are my friends jelous?

Look, these "friends" of yours should be happy about you succeeding. And if I were you, I would tell the friend that lied to you that it kind of hurt ur feelings that she would lie to you like that. After that, she'll probably tell you why she did that, or you could ask her, and then you can most likely work things out. But honestly, if she was ur true friend, she would'nt of done that to you. And, for the other friends, I just think they are not really into education and don't quite want to talk about future goals. Trust me, this may be the first time ur dealing with these kind of people, but many more are to come.

Please help.. Does he LIKE me?!?

There's thig guy who lives down the street from me. We were watching a movie at his house and he asked me to scoot closer to him but I wouldn't. Then I had to leave so he told me that he would walk me home. When he walked me home he asked for a hug and I gave him a quick hug and then quickly pulled away. Then he smiled and was like "I wonder what will happen if I try to kiss you" he said that then he left. Later on he texted me and asked what I was doing and I said nothing, hbu?

Is my boyfriend worthy?

sounds fine, the relationship seems to be okay, i mean i dont know if he is flirting with his friend, but they all seem to know hes in a relationship. so it means everyone knows about you being his girlfriend and he is not hiding it either. I would be jealous that he wants a girl to come watch him play vollyball. but its okay for a guy to have girlfriends and a girl friend, as long as hes not flirting, and it doesnt seem like he was flirting with his friend there. im sure every girl out there think their man is perfect, but trust me, my man was the most perfect of them all i think, not to brag, but i really do think my man is way better than yours.

Mixed signals from a guy?

So me and this guy(my crush) I've known for a year started texting about 3 weeks ago. Around 2 weeks ago he told he liked me and I told him I liked him back. Everyday after that we've been texting(him texting me first most of the time and me once maybe twice). Then I texted him on Monday of last week and he never responded. Then I've been on skype and he's on and he gets off right as I get on. And if he doesn't get off he never says anything to me. On Wednesday of last week I skyped him hi and we had a very awkward convo( like hi, hey, what's new, not much, that's cool, yeah hbu, same just hanging out *and the convo ends there*) and then he's been posting things on skype like "welll......" and "......." its just confusing me so much! Does he still like me?? I texted him yesterday hey and he responded like 3 hours later sorry I was busy and I said its finee what's up. And he never reponded. Ughh what's wrong? There was this other guy who's totallly obsessed with me and would like all my photos and comment on all my statuses on facebook so maybe my crush saw that and thought I liked him...? But I try and talk to him and he doesn't respond well.. what should I do? We not dating or anything. I believe that's the guys job to ask girls out. One of my guyfriends who's friends with him was gonna invite him to an amusment park and I'm coming too with some of my friends....if he does go what will I say to him? Also my plan is to not text/skype him for a week and see what happens. What do you think I should do? Thank you! Sorry for the length.

What can be done with a very unruly disrespectful boy in Toledo Oh?

It has been 10 years since the divorce and this boy is still acting this way? He definately has big problems and I would suggest beginning to see a different counselor and perhaps even a psychologist instead. His issues are more than can be handled by the mother or the boyfriend. Get him to a psychologist before he gets physical or he may end up in juvenial hall! (Kid jail).

How long till I am healed of jealousy?

I have been extremely jealous/enraged with prettier women than me (or so I believe, dream up) for over 15 years. I've never really gotten over it, but it can subside before it has a recurrence again. I have told my mother in law off (she is the main target of my problem these days, as she looks young) and told her to stay away from me and that I want nothing to do with her. I blocked their numbers too. My husband says I "better get cured of this asap and that it should magically go away". I cannot afford counseling and all the free/low cost referrals I got in the area are for counselors no longer participating in the programs. The church hardly ever calls me back for their counseling, but I have had decent success with the extreme counseling the church gives for free called Sozo. How long can I expect this to last?

Negative thinking/thoughts, i need help.?

I'm 14 years old,and i'm a female. I have been counselling about my worries and negative thinking but i don't think its helping me to be honest. My mind keeps imagining things, and saying stuff and i keep believing it, does what the mind say mean its true? and how do i not get angry about all the things its saying about me.

Are Christians really being persecuted in the UK?

the problem here is taking newspaper reports as totally factual and taking isolated cases as indicative of the whole situation. The lady stopped from wearing a cross by an airline got caught in a general rule about wearing religious symbols while in uniform which was not specific to christian symbols. The nurse was related to wearing jewellery in uniform. The registrar who refused to marry same sex couples is an officer of the law and if the law says she should do this then she should If her religious beliefs prevent her from carrying out her job then she has to go. The sexual counsellor's job is to counsel couples on their sexual problems if he cannot handle homosexual problems then he should not have been in that field in the first place. This is quite a common aspect of sexuality which he must have encountered when training and he should have moved into a different field at that stage

Anxiety ADHD Overwhelmed?

So tired, went to bed at 8:30, woke up every couple of hours and read to fall asleep. Up at @ 7:30 AM achey and tired. Dranke 2 double lattes, ate banana and rye with cheese. Overcome with anxiety, so went for a short walk. When I got home, the anxiety and grief were even more pronounced. When I exercise, I stop and just cry. If I go to yoga or guided prayer, I often have spontaneous tears. I hate this lifestyle. I avoid exercise, and can't understand the grief anxiety when I DO exercise. This is decades old. How to change? Trying harder--performance (climb mountains, XC, overtime working hours, counseling) don't make me successful or peaceful. Went off ADHD meds about 2 months ago, after about 18 months of trying different combinations...I'm pooped, walking in grief, staving (barely) off desperate. Why do I just stop and cry in the middle of a hike or jog (I cannot go on without just a total breakdown). Alone I can just cry, with friends, I have to stifle this. What will help ME be at peace with ME? Why do I just break down, even during EXERCISE?

Should I see a psychiatrist? (long, sorry, but PLEASE HELP)?

its long but plz read it all i felt like i was reading about myself aside from the imaginary friend thing i would not eat (only a salad or yogurt) , i would overrsleep(almost a full 24 hrs), ignore calls from family, friends (surprised they stuck around) and work (dont know how i still have my job) i would have these obsessive compulsive moments that everything had to be perfect (i would even annoy myself about it) and i would be extremely happy then out of nowhere sad or angry ive fought with everyone many times sometimes for no reason but yes i do believe you need help as do i and that doesnt make you weak it makes you brave to face your problems and a strong person what makes you weak is running from it just know that yes you can run from it but it will always follow you and one day you wont be able to handle it anymore so please dont put yourself so close to the edge its like standing on your tiptoes on the edge of a cliff and balancing yourself saying im not gonna fall but truth is you cant keep balancing yourself there forever someone needs to help pull you away from falling off the cliff

My ex boyfriend was stareing at me ?

So today i went to go talk to the school counsellor about exams and when we stepped out of her office to look at the dates i caught him stareing at me. About a week ago me and my ex had broken up. Yesterday he started talking to me on fb for something , and then today when i caught him stareing at me he made a weird face and then looked away awkwardly .. it was more of a surprise face with like a tad bit of a smile .. I dunno if he still likes me or not .. it's confusing ..

Being abused, don't know what to do?

OK so I have been abused all my life :( and I feel like I can't take anymore. My parents are divorced, and both are really not fit to be parents if you know what I mean. They are both very depressed, my mom even tried to kill herself last year. They are completely crazy and my dad treats me like a slave all the time and hits me if I don't do what he says. They act as though all of this is my fault and what they are doing isn't wrong at all :( So I am always blaming myself for everything going on. I have always just bottled up my emotions and tried to pretend that everything is okay but now things are starting to fall apart. I finally told one of my best friend's this year after I came to school and I was just a mess after my dad had beat me up the night before. All of my teachers at school seem suspicious even though they haven't done anything about it. My counsellor said that a lot of teachers have been concerned about me. I usually am able to cover up bruises pretty well but it's getting ridiculous. Should I tell someone what's going on :( and let CFS deal with it? I can't help myself from thinking it's not that bad but my best friends keep reminding me that it is really serious and I am just too used to it that I don't notice anymore. I am already almost 17, Should I just stick it out for another year? :( ADVICE PLEASE :( I really don't know what to do anymore :( I am scared that they will hurt me if they find out I told somebody.

Where do i go for advice concerning my debt?

I have about $30,000 of debt including a timeshare in foreclosure and I desperately need an expert to help me figure out what to do. Do I go to a credit counseling service, a finance attorney, or someplace else to get unbiased advice on how to improve my financial situation?

Can i become a counsellor with this uni course?

A good medication for depression is symbalta. They help with feelings of depression, thoughts of suicide, and prevent thoughts of not wanting to live. Hope this helps and get well soon.

Talking to my school counsellor for the first time? *10 points*?

That's what talking to the school counselor is for. The counselor will be able to help you get better grades and become more confident. YOU SHOULD GO. i mean sure youu'll be a bit uncomfortable telling a stranger your personal conflicts; but at the same time you'll be surprised how well he/she wil be able to relate.They're not there to judge you but to help.

What to do when it all gets too much?

I have just moved town from Christchurch (NZ) to be with my partner. I have always had problems with depression and anxiety, but lately it's been getting on top of me. I don't have any doubts or regrets moving to be with him, infact I can't imagine life any other way. It has been a real struggle looking for a job though, and moving in with his flatmate who owns the house. She has her own ideas about how I should be job hunting, even though she has no idea about how I don't handle big things very easily. I just feel like my confidence is nearly zero and so is my motivation. I've come off anti depressants and I don't want to go back on them. The doctor I've joined up with doesn't give a **** and just sent me to a counsellor. We have booked flights to Sydney to start fresh over there but that's not for another four months. I did just get a retail job, but I was so unsettled after my first day which was today I have felt physically sick all evening. It's really hard when you don't have your own place to go back to and really relax. I want to hang on for that four months but I feel so scared of everything. My partner has been amazing but I don't want to drag him down with talking about this stuff all the time. He said he just wants me to be happy, but if I can't stick at a job we will never get to Syndey. I just don't know how to be more confident. I wish there was a switch you could just turn on!!!

Help with self-harming?

I think the appointment with the counsellor and the psychiatrist is definitely a good start to stop it. You are definitely doing the right thing. You just need to think about what you are going say when you see them.Tell the doctor you cut yourself with scissors nails blades etc. Tell them that you feel pleasure doing so, that you don't do it constantly but do you have the peak times (before exams for example). Tell them about your last breakdown, tell them all the details. You are sick, you do have a kind of disorder but if you don't tell your doctor about it, the diagnosis might be wrong. I also think you shouldn't take your mum to speak to the doctor, she can stay in the waiting room. It is very important that your doctor see you talking about your problems, your reactions, etc. Hope that helps.

I think my wife is trying to kill me - what should i do?

I cheated on my wife after 14 years of marriage and she went berserk. She's nutty as a fruitcake to begin with, but this unhinged her already unsound mind. The problem is that I love her so much, so I wanted to resolve our conflict. The night she found out I cheated on her, she whacked me up side the head and said, "You will wish I killed you quickly...but you sooooo desrve a slow painful death. She does not bluff, so I was near crapping my drawers at the time. Then we went to marriage counselling, and I thought we had it all worked out. She was even acting all sweet and loving. Then out of nowhere, I started feeling seriously fatigued and horribly nauseous. I surprised her last Saturday in the kitchen and caught her crushing up these white pills. They were her Vanadom pills which are muscle relaxants. She said she was crushing them because she was having a hard time swallowing them. Wrong! - Trust me, my wife can swallow near anything...I will leave it at that. Then I am drinking my orange juice and it tastes really bitter. I think she has been putting her muscle relaxants in my food - and who knows what else. I am so sick today. I have it coming out both ends. I can barely drag myself out of bed. That has never happened before. I love her so much but am a little scared. Am I being paranoid in thinking she is trying to do me in? Where should I go from here?

Do i need to get help?

well for years i have had depression, only this year i decided to reach out for help, for years ago i had depression, and throughout months of feeling suicidal i closed my emotions up, i used to talk to everyone, i realised i could be attention seeking and been a typical teenager and there maybe some other stuff but i closed off, i threw my beliefs of hating drugs away and started them, weed is the most drug i use, i also suffer from anxiety, the thing is i am not normal, i think im crazy (not dangerous), and i have trouble explaining what goes on in my head, i tend to think that doctors will think im a wanna be sick person so i look up stuff on the internet, but anyways i have recently been turned down by counsellors because i wont quit drugs (i didnt say i wouldent to them), but i do drugs because im scared of been sober, i mean i have a disabled dad who is constantly going down hill, and i have a past with mum too, my brother is a borderline alcholic, but when i reached out i had the knowledge and the paranoia, i feel like my brain and my body are separate, i feel i control my body and my brain is like the motherboard, the thing is i know my brains against me, and when i opened up to my dad (or tried) i hit a speedbump, i couldent get my words out without feeling the need of explaining every single point i made, i put this down to keeping all this locked up and since im a natural deep thinker i tend to live in my own head when alone, i isolated myself a few years back and enjoyed been alone better than having company, but i started to notice i was basically living in my own head, sitting alone, thinking and thinking.i noticed my depression and anxiety clashing, to get help for depression i get paranoid about talking to my doctor about it and my throat feels like it swells up and flemmy (this is permanat btw but worse when feeling anxious) i would normally sit back and just 'cope' on my own, but i never really coped, i just drifted through life with depression there got used to it you might say, but some time ago i notice it procceed to a different level and my suicdal thoughts came back, this time im not scared of dieing, i started to find it hard to hide my emotion from mates so i started making excuses for them not to come round since i dont like showing weakness, so i started to live in my own head more and more then got the feeling i was doing this about 99% of the time now, i have always been weird but this was because of my humour, basically i find crazy things funny that other people may view as 'sick'. Weeks ago i realised a complete change in my thoughts and how i feel, normally when i thought of suicide i would get 'edgey' but this time i was looking at killing myself and i was calm and it cheered my up, but even tho i was happy i still wanted to die, asif me thinking that im gonna commit suicide is the happy way out, i have had a strange feeling allot recently, when i am thinking of suicide i get the feeling to ring my mates and say bye to them. I dont want to seek proffetional help now because i have genrally started to belive its just a teenage thing, and i have put the way the doctors and cousellors reactions and worked out its not that serious but i still feel the same way, so i thought i am going to die, back to the body and brain thing, my body tells me that dying is the only happy option, but i dont want to hurt anyone, i feel if i die my dad will go downhill more and it makes me feel guilty having to open up to him, but my brain is making me feel anxious about opening up just in case i learn that i dont have serious depression and i will find it more hard to cope because i would belive im a weak person, and if this aint depression than this is normal and i dont want to live with this, all this and loads more goes through my head before i can speak to someone about anything, im always watching what i say and half of the time i say what my paranoia suggests instead of how i actually worded something, this is because i know i need help but i dont want to reveal some of my deepest thoughts in case i was crazy, so i say something else and i think back to stuff and realise i said the completely opisite to what i was actually trying to say, when im talking now its like my paranioa is rushing thoughts through my head delibratly making me forget the stuff im trying to say, i mean psyically forget like i just ran into a brick wall and the thought flew out of me, and thats why i beleive the cousellor said that i dont make sense and that i was intoxicated (when i actually wernt). but do you think i need help? is it only me who knows im serious?

My child saw his uncle almost kill some one how do i explain to him how wrong that is?

Recently during time with my family my brother was in an altercation with a neighbor which resulted with him stabbing his neighbor. During the fight my son cheered for his uncle and was happy that he defeated the other person. When i got to my son he excitedly told me exactly what happened. I was mortified and immediately told him that what happened was wrong and that he was never allowed at that house anymore. During the next few days he again shared the story with two other people and was very happy to tell every detail of th story. I need to stress to him how wrong the situation is and that violence is never the answer. I need some real advice and if needed some information on child counseling.

ATHEISTS: I'm having troubles with being an atheist?

I think you're suffering from some of the withdrawal symptoms of religion. You see, before you were able to essentially talk to an invisible friend and let him deal with your problems when you found them too overbearing. Essentially, you let it all out and since it was mostly out of mind it was easier to deal with. I think you need to find other ways to deal with your frustration and anxiety. Try talking to friends and family or keep a journal. Either way, good luck, it's a process to leave a religion because its a lot like leaving a cult.

My heads really, really messed up?

I can only recommend the herb. Smoke some weed I'm sure if you get caught your parents will realize the urgency of your situation and you won't be in trouble, if you don't get caught then you feel better until you can get the pills. If you can't get a hold of some bud have someone you know who's 18 go into a smoke shop and buy you spice, it's legal weed.

Missing my XC team :( ...Help?

I'm on track and doing XC this year and I know what you mean. Before every meet I would be scared and sometimes cried the night before. But once you run and get it over with, it gets better. I played field hockey and lacrosse, you might want to do a team sport. I was never nervous during field hockey because it's a team sport, whenever you loose, you loose as a team. It can't be one person's fault. If you're insecure about your team missing you, you should probably find a new team anyways. But you can always hang out with them, I hang out with the track girls all the time even though the season ended a month ago because they're my best friends now. But if you want to do XC just think about it like this: if you can overcome your fear of meets, or just run in meets even if your are nervous, you can overcome anything. That's how I thought about it anyways. Good luck!

Some objectivity please? (alcoholism)?

Your effort to help this man is inspiring and I applaud you for it. Of course, you have your own life to live. I'm not a mental health pro but I do have substantial experience in this area so let me give you some educated layman's perspective on this. I think the fundamental issue is; is he going to drink, or is he going to be abstain from alcohol. I've seen some people change on this when they realize an important relationship is at stake. About AA and counselors, there is presently some big issues about the viability of these things, especially because of the religious content of AA and most counselors insisting their clients go to AA. A result is the development of several effective alternatives to AA that many who find AA objectionable can do well with. The biggest one is called SOS (Secular Organizations For Sobriety). Another is called Lifering, another is called Smart Recovery. They are all good things that often prove effective when AA is not. Google those things so you'll have some more resources to work from next time you talk to him. If he won't straighten out, then by all means - get on with your life. Sometimes it takes losing a relationship for people such as this to turn their life around. Good Luck Hindusufi
