Question #2:

Really torn about if I should get a tattoo as a young adult pursuing a career in psychology?

I'm a psychology major and I'm only in my freshman year of college. I plan on getting my doctorate and am afraid that if I have a tattoo it could give me problems in the future finding a job or being accepted into doctoral programs. It's going to be small (probably the size of the nail of my thumb) and behind my left ear. I want it so that my hair will always cover it if its down and the only time people can see it is if I put my hair up. Do you think this is a bad idea? If its going to cause any problems with my career I will abandon the idea in a heart beat but if not I really want this tattoo as it is the japanese kanji of the name of my sister (and she plans on getting my name as well; we're getting them for our birthdays). Please give me your input! I believe I will probably end up being a counseling psychologist if I dont change my mind and do something like criminal psych.
@Pat If you are a psych major then perhaps you will recall that your freshman year of college is kind of a joke. They load you up with gen eds. The only psych classes I have taken are Intro to psych and quantitative methods of pysch which is basically stats. So yes, I am a psych major and no, I have not learned that. I also find it hard to believe that absolutely every person who has a tattoo dislikes themselves. I happen to want this tattoo because I want to have a part of my sister with me wherever I go as we will soon be parting. Also, let's try to be less of a condescending asshole.

Question #3:

My life is falling apart . Im a 14 yr old girl?

I'm in a deep drepession, won't eat , go out, I don't feel like doing ANYTHING. To much stress at my house. My deaf mute sister was raped and now pregnant. My other sister has two sons now and they both live with us. When I was smaller I was involved in a lot of assults. They traumatised me and I will never be to recover from that. my whole family is mexican. I was bulied to the point I wanted to take me life because I couldn't take it anymore. My dad is arrested and being deported right now. My mom has no money to take care of everyone. The doctor said that there was a posibility that my deaf mute sister had cancer so she had to get surgery, which could've killed her baby. I have a serious case of anemia which could turn into lukimia . I just can't take this anymore . My grades are terrible , and I can't consentrate. Everytime I eat I throw up and I have lost 10 pounds just this week from all the stress and my dads situation. I have 0 self estime or confidence. I have a million of insecurities and I just can't deal with this anymore. I was going to counseling but not anymore my mom can't afford it.

Question #4:

how to stop panic attacks? please help!?

i know i have asked this question before but i am hoping to get different answers. i am a 14 year old female, and i have been having panic attacks since summer time. since my first panic attack i havent been able to stop thinking about it, and that just brings more on. when i had my first panic attack it was at night and i walked into my room and felt like i couldnt breathe. i was so scared that i got my mom to take me to the emergency room, they pretty much just said it was a panic attack and sent me home. for the longest time i was worried because i thought it was something more than just panic attacks. since then i dont really go anywhere unless its somewhere i have to be (like school) and before i always used to do things. i am so scared when im at school that i cant even concentrate on my school work and that causes me to do bad in school which also brings on mroe panic attacks. i dont even look forward to going over to a friends house anymore, or going to a movie or something, i just get scared. then when im trying to go to sleep i think that im not going to wake up and that im going to die. thesde panic attacks have also made me scared of death, and i also think about that all the time. i know i am only 14 and shouldnt be worrying about this but its hard not to think about. i told mymom i should go to counselling but she said they will just tell me to breathe deep and stuff. anyone that has gotten rid of panic attacks before can you please help me find a way to relax myself? there has been things i have been doing to be less afraid of death, like reading the bible and knowing that when i die jesus will be there for me, but i still am really scared. i know i need to calm myself down but i dont really knwo how. can someone please give me advice? thank you so much.

Question #5:

did you and your partner do this before trying to conceive?

did you do genetic counselling to see if your genes were compatible with with other, so your child wasn't at risk for down syndrome and other things. each baby is precious regardless, but just wondering.

Question #7:

How to deal with this anger....?

Over the last 1.5 years my anger has been built up due to many circumstances, most is out of my control. Recently I have a very hard time sleeping because of it. As soon as I try to fall asleep, my thoughts start wandering, and it always leads to the anger. And to say my husband is not the cause of any of this would be a lie. Counseling is not possible at this time due to money problems, and my husband is dealing with his own anger and stress right now. I can't exactly come clean about everything, for fear of what he'll do to himself or divorcing me. I do NOT want a divorce, I just want this anger to go away!
There are too many things to list, like I said it is a year and half of built up anger! I'm asking how to deal with the anger in a productive, effective and LEGAL way!

Question #8:

Help, what should I do about my depression?

I'm really sensitive and self concsious about myself, for example, if my friend doesn't respond to my text within 10 minutes i get really sad and want to cry. The main reason why I'm so sensitive is because I'm not very social or outgoing, and it's really hard for me to make friends. But once I do make a friend, I'll stay loyal. But I've stayed extremely loyal with my best friend Hanna and I do everything with her...but this has kind of cut me off from my other friends and the relationships between my other friends and me are not as strong, and I've lost some friends. This is depressing me quite a bit. I tell myself I have plenty of friends but one part of myself doesn't believe the positiveness and I get dragged down into the darkness...I tried to tell Hanna about this and she comforted me. I also tried telling my mom about it when I was at my worst, but she was just like, "Why are you depressed? You have it so much better than the poor kids in Africa!" and yeah she didn't really believe me or do anything about it...I really think I need counseling but my mom is not there for me, my friends try to help but aren't helpful, and i don't know what to do!!!

Question #9:

What should I do if I come home?

My husband and I decided to take two weeks break away from each other to save our marriage. He refused to go counseling and he thinks that if he miss me during the two weeks break, then we can fix our marriage. He went and bought an airline ticket to California to visit my estranged family. I told him that ever since I eloped with him when I was 19 years old, my family disowned me. But he insisted that I must go, so I did.

It been one week staying at my parent's house, and my family bring me nothing but no hospitality, judged me for eloping with my husband, and always hold a grudge against me.

Every minute of the day, my siblings who are in their 20s (like me) constantly lower my
integrity that I have ever ounce in my soul of what I did in the past.

I eloped at 19 years with my current husband and quickly moved out of the state. At that time, I was going for all profit school for Fashion Design, but withdraw. My parents took out the student loan for me and they quickly paid it off. I have a great relationship with my parents. They forgave me and still love me. But my siblings keep reminding everyone in the family, including my relatives that I'm good for nothing daughter who ran away from home, ignore her duties as a daughter and sister.

No matter what I do, my siblings hate me and they show that with a passion. They did not even welcome me home, instead they said "SO when are you flying back? Because We don't want you home".

It has been five years and they still treat me like that. They called my useless because I have not complete my BA degree, only AA. I want to finish my BA in Fashion Design, but it's $50k and I do not have that kind of money. My husband doesn't want me to take a student loan of $50k because it's an useless degree in Florida.

I told my husband that I want to come home and fly back on the 6th, but he said "No, and if I come back to FL our marriage is over". I explained to him everything, but he ignores my feeling.

I feel very trapped between my husband and my family. I have friends that I can stay in FL, but I don't know if they will let me stay with him for a week. I'm awfully shy and asking people is hard on me.

I've been severely depressed ever since I flew to California. My husband hates me for booking the ticket to fly back home on the 6th and he will not come to pick me up at the airport. I think my marriage is over if I fly back home.

I feel like a failure, I wrecked my relationship with my family and husband. I don't know what to do.

Should I continue to with my plan to move back home on the 6th or wait until it's 2 weeks? I'm truly depress and there is no one there to support me in CA.

Question #10:

Now that the religious folks have debunked evolution, what's to be done with the fossils?

We can't just leave them sitting around in natural history museums. What's to be done with them? And how about some serious career counseling for paleontologists? Hello?
.

Question #11:

is something wrong with me?

When i was 5 years old i started being a really bad bully. i would grab people (younger and older) no matter who they were and i would beat on them... that lasted until i was 11. i pretty much lived in the office at school and got suspended at least 9 times a school year. family life was bad... my sister and i (she is 3 years older) were pulled apart by me beating her up constantly and i would hurt the cats and dogs and my parents were constantly yelling at me.. im a girl and everyone (and i do mean everyone was scared of me) i had barely any friends! i dressed like a boy and everything but i was also being bullied to. i had 3 months of anger management counseling when i was 9 and all the counselor did was play trouble with me and she always one and i wouldget mad and throw the pieces everywhere. when i was 11 i changed.. i grew a guilty conscience. before i wouldnt care if they were bleeding or anything but since then i do. im 14 and i still have my moments. im 15% native but my skin is darker so everyone calls me black and it makes me mad. but nowadays i just cry when im mad. i hurt my cat still but i just show how i love him like that. my sister says im in a bad mood when im not and it pisses me off. im so emotional. my first bf even broke up with me last year because i was always mad but it was cuz other people were making me mad not him. i loved him so much and even a year later i still do. i cry at everything. i get pissed at everything. idk whats wrong. im keeping all this inside. my family doesnt know what i go thru at all. i dont wanna talk to them about it either. when my dad would yell at me i would yell back (even when i was 8 or 9) but now when im 14 i just run crying. i cant take it. i need to know if something is wrong with me???????????? plzzzzzzzzzzzzz helppppp meeee!!!!!!!! D:

Question #12:

Shall I read my old journal entry?

Before the new year, I wrote down everything major that has happened in my life in an email to myself. I thought it would help me to let go of my past and deal with my severe depression, but it hasn't. I'm spiralling downhill. I have that letter infront of me (didn't delete it. Couldn't) and I have the strongest urge to read it, knowing that it will make me cry. I feel like I should be able to face up to things you know? But I don't know if I'm doing the right thing for myself by reading it.

Please help. Shall I read it? I'm so lost and broken at the moment. I don't know what else to do. I've locked myself in my room just incase I have a break down.

PS Don't suggest counselling / doctor etc. Getting counselling. Been depressed for 8 years. Not helping.
That journal entry took heaps of courage for me to write and every word written in there cuts me like a knife. The events I wrote about, destroyed my life and destroyed me as a person. Forever. Please think about that when you suggest what I should do. But also think about the fact that my therapist said the only way I'll know if I've let go of the past and moved on is if I can face what I went through and not fall into depression.
I think someone to talk to would help. I have a lot of thoughts that I need to share. But my social anxiety stops me from opening up to anyone. If someone has a lot of patience and is willing to listen to me drone on about how much my life sucks then please email me: x-sammy-x-ice-x@hotmail.com

Question #13:

I do not know what to do anymore?

I am having a terrible time at anywhere, no friends, rumours about me, and my friends ditched me because of the rumours and now everyone hates me because she told everyone that my uncle is an abuser. I have already lost my two best friends because of rumours and she steal them two away from me and made them to turn against to me as well as everyone who I know/who were my friends.

They are now being bullies, bully to me by saying nasty things to me, ignoring me, being very rude to me and give me lots of dirty looks. They also deleted me via Facebook and admit to me that they do not like me anymore and do not want to keep in touch with me anymore.

I have explained to them about this that it is not my fault as I did not do it etc... but they seems not want to know, will not listen me at all and want to dump me totally. I am not my uncle but they treat me like I am him. I am not him, I am ME!

There are a few girls who wanted to go out with me as they liked me a lot, have changed to me, they changed their mind about me and will not talk to me or whatever. Their parents also stop them from seeing me because they also heard the rumours. They are making a big mistake!!

And every time I make new friends, I end up losing them as the rumours are spreading to them and it is ongoing at the moment. She who spread the rumours keep stealing my friends whoever I make new friends or hang out with.

I feel like I lose everything now. Looks like I will be single forever, being isolated for the rest of my life and die alone. They all turned on their back on me totally. It looks like I got nothing to live. So, I am better off to die to have all the peace just what I need! :(

The worst thing is that I got NO friends and NO family (we fall in apart totally because of conflict). I only got my parents... What if I lose them both then I got NONE and become 10000% isolated. God, I want to dieeee! :( there is nothing for me to live for!! :( Rumours are everywhere and no one ever wants to associate with me.

She (the bully) is very happy, having lots of friends, plenty of social life to attend and having a good life with their families and friends whilst I am really, really suffering and very isolated. She will get married, get a job and having a really good life in the future whilst my future is the most hell for me to live. I know I am going to die sooner and young whilst she is going to live longer and so happy forever.

I have reported her to the police for harassment and they said they could not do anything due to no further evidence. I feel so worthless. She has won and I am the LOSER! :( I have tried counselling for several times before and nothing helped. My parents do not know how to help me with this. There is nobody to lift me up and make my life better.

Question #14:

my counselor was not empathetic? pIease heIp?

I was going to see a counselor these past two months. She was helpful and nice while I receiving her heIp, but I found out she was resigning from the agency Last week and our Iast meeting was Thursday. The counselor was a totaI different person from the person I was receiving counseling the past two months. This woman was telling how I was wasting time in counseling because of my school issues, its other people that need help and she used my personal issues against me to say I was categorizing her. I was Lost for words because I could not believe she was saying the things she was saying. It seem as if she was being judgmental and rude because hey she is Ieaving the organization anyway. The supervisor was a IittIe nicer and suggested that I wait to meet my new counselor at their agency. This Iast counselor Ieft a bad taste in my mouth and I am thinking about not going back? why did she does this? and advice? she reaIIy hurt my feeIings.

If someone was receiving mental health support like counseling or phycologist etc, as a minor and they crossed the age barrier requiring them to be treated as an adult with a new person allocated to them. Is there a way for them to continue treatment from the previous person they were comfortable with? I think this person was provided free via the NHS. Can phycologist be paid for their time?
Just trying to help someone.

Question #18:

Our marriage gone down hill since husband got out of army in June. 2 day after got out of army left to his dads to work undertable
To work with his father. Shut me out and I went down to get him in Oregon and I was preggo with second child. He came back with me to my parents in WA and got on unemployment and wasn't truly working for a job. Daughter came on oct 5 and he been back and forth with OR and WA to get extra money. He hates living at my parents and hates going to his mothers who also in WA. We been fighting ever since baby came about everything and anything get me upset because he not trying. Since Jan 1 we been separated and he says we need a break and things are never going to work. I am currently thinking of seperation so I can get my shit together for me and my girls and all I do is see him running from us and not dealing with things.

Positive feed back please! Is it wrong for me to file seperation because I not letting him just run especially from both our girls

Question #19:

Husband admits that he cheated on me?

I am so furious with my husband because during our marriage counseling session today he admitted that he cheated on my one time with his ex-wife few months ago. He says that it only happened once when he was celebrating his oldest daughters 21st birthday. He and his wife were drinking and talking about the good times they had together. That what he told me and some how it carried away. At this point I'm ready to file for divorce. During our six years together we had two children and I'm currently pregnant with my fourth child. My oldest is six years old and she is from my first marriage, but my husband adopted her last spring. I think karma has finally caught up to me because I entered a relationship with a married man 7 years ago when I was 23 and that ended badly. I love my husband to death and I would have never thought of him doing this to me. How would you react of the news that your husband cheated on you? Also do you think karma has caught up with me? My children are with my mother tonight because I need to be alone. I want to forgive him but it's hard. I now see what my first husbands wife went through when I did this two her family.
He didn't cheat on his first wife with me. We were both divorced at the time we just clicked together. I'm 29 and he is 40. I feel that it has happened more then once because up until last month I thought we had a perfect marriage until he started coming home very late and not answering his phone.

Question #20:

My fiance broke up with me through Facebook!?

Me and my fiance were having some problems, it was a rocky relationship. I have severe Anxiety and he didn't know how to handle it so we made an appointment to start counseling next week. I thought that everything was okay until these past few days. He was ignoring me; wouldn't answer my calls, hasn't been to work all week, and he hasn't been home. Today my friend called me and asked me what happened. I had no clue why she was asking me "what happened". She told me that my fiance changed his Facebook status to single and made a status that he was engaged to the wrong person. I am so upset. He is not a little boy, he is a 33 year old man! I am so upset and what hurts the most is that he didn't tell me to my face. I don't know what to do. Should I talking to him about it or just move on with my life without confronting him?
Sorry for the typo- Should I talk** to him about it?
