A Proper Diagnosis is Indicated Before an Action Can Be Taken
I feel like people at my work are against me for no reason. I keep telling myself that I am acting crazy but I swear people are talking about me behind my back and then they stop when I get in the room and I just have this feeling that I am being watched or something all the time. It’s kind of freaking me out actually. I asked a good friend at the office about my suspicions and she said I was imagining it. I can feel it so clearly though it’s like I can sense when people are wishing me to fail. I know that sounds ridiculous but it’s like I can see it in their faces. It’s upsetting me so much now I can barely even do my job because I am always obsessing about who is watching me or out to get me. How do I fight back when no one is attacking me directly?

Read answer →Never Socializing is not good
I am not married and don’t have any close friends and both my parents are dead. I feel fine though. I like being alone. Everything in society tells me I should not be satisfied with my life. My sister is constantly harassing me to do things with people. I want to know if forcing myself to be with people when I don’t enjoy their company can really be beneficial to my mental health?
Read answer →Psychoanalysis Really Helps - Go for it!
I am a very nervous and neurotic person, I feel like my hang ups are partly to blame for a lot of the anxiety I experience on a daily basis. I have been to therapy before but it was very much focused on the present and on learning new ways to think. I feel like I need to get a handle on the past because my past is why I act and feel like I do today. I am interested in psychoanalysis which is what I expected my first try at therapy would be like but wasn’t. What I would like to know is how long I should expect psychoanalysis to take before I start seeing results?

Read answer →Repression of your Unconscious Thoughts Rears its Head When You Are Drunk
If I have some gender issues and stuff that come out whenever I am drunk but that seem disgusting to me when I am not drunk what does this mean? Am I repressing when I am not drunk or is it just the alcohol creating something for the thrill of it?
Read answer →An IN-PERSON CONSULTATION is needed to Diagnose your situation.
What does it mean if I am starting to have anger control and impulse control problems in my 30s. I have never before had a problem managing my anger but recently I find it just bubbles up so suddenly out of nowhere and it's more than I can control and 3 times in the last 2 months I have gotten violent with another person and this is more times than in the past 20 years before this. It's like this rage swells up and before I know it I am lashing out without even thinking about it. Should I be worried about a brain tumor or something? Why else would this change in behavior be happening to me in my adult years?
Read answer →Telling depends on the nature of the awkwardness --- your guilt or the expression of her dissatisfaction in the marriage.
I had an affair and I am fairly sure but not completely sure that my wife knows about it. It was the biggest mistake of my life. I was going through a bit of a life crisis and I just made a mistake and I realize now that I never want to do this again. I ended things over a month ago. Now things are awkward between my wife and I. I want to earn back her trust but I am in the weird position of not knowing if she knows or not why I wouldn’t be deserving of it in the first place. I am never going to cheat again. Should I admit to the affair to clear the air or if she hasn’t brought it up does that mean she’d rather not talk about it/doesn’t already know. The last thing I want to do is cause her any pain.
Read answer →There are Many Personality/Career Tests to Help Set You In The Right Direction
I have an anthropology degree and I am underemployed. I do not want to work in my field of study and I am not very qualified to work in other areas. I am considering going back to school, but I do not want to end up with another degree in an area that I have no interest in working in. I was wondering if there was any testing (personality, aptitude….?) that I could get done that is really effective at helping people find out what types of jobs they’d be happy with and good at doing?
Read answer →YOU ARE THE VICTIM of SEXUAL ABUSE and so NOT TO BE BLAMED
My brother sexually abused me from the time I was 10 to when I was 14 and he left home and then I left home when I was 16 and I spent a lot of time trying not to think about what we did together and dealing with a lot of shame and revulsion and anger and confusion about what role I played. I never told anyone about what he did. Now my brother has 2 children with a woman he married. I feel sick to my stomach at the thought of him with children. I am honestly still terrified of him and this makes it all worse. I feel like I need to tell someone what he did to me but I can’t deal with talking about it and having everyone know. I just can’t deal with that. What do I do?
