My mom thinks there is something wrong with me...?
Okay, so I have a problem, I think? My mom hates who I am now. She says i'm anti-sociable and she hates who I've become. She thinks it's because of my piercings, my clothes, and what music I listen too ( A day to remember, Asking Alexandria, NeverShoutNever etc...). She has threatened me by saying she would send me to my dad (He's a strict christian.), who will change my so called "attitude" if I don't stop whatever is pissing her off. I don't know why I don't like being around other people! I just feel that it's best if i'm alone... But apparently, there's something wrong with being that way... I don't know what to do. I don't want to change who I am, I just need a solution for her to accept me. If anyone can, please reply to this. Also. I'm 15. I do believe in a "Higher Source of Power", just not the christian "God" ( I think it's a joke, honestly) so I don't want a religious answer. Thanks.
That's called anxiety. It's really common and loads of people have it. So don't think you are odd or alone.You just stress alot and need some time to clear your head.You have worried thoughts. It could be due to lots of reasons.It may be because yor are afraid of getting judged ,or You may be afraid that people will think badly of you or that you won’t measure up in comparison to others. And even though you probably realize that your fears of being judged are at least somewhat irrational and overblown, you still can’t help feeling anxious.These cause sad or anxious feelings, and cause your body to release chemicals (for example adrenalin) which make you feel worse, and that makes you think more negatively, which causes you to release more chemicals, and on and on it goes. The body is designed to release those chemicals sometimes, but if you're worrying constantly they can build up to the point where they overwhelm you and everything seems terrifying and your hands starts sweating.So just relax and try not to focus on your negative thoughts.For example, if you‘re worried about an upcoming work presentation, the negative thought that could be coming to your mind is: “I’m going to blow it. Everyone will think I’m completely incompetent.”Then and then just stop. De-clutter your mind first. Try to think how you are going to start your presentation instead. Do a little POSITIVE self talk. Tell yourself that you will give your best. Drink water. Bring out the confidence. And yeah always SMILE. It reduces the tension.
Guilt after 1st time drinking?
Forgive yourself. You are 15 years old. You are curious. It is very good that you realized what you have done wrong. Realizing and admitting your mistake is the first step to correcting the error. Do not feel guilty or ashamed. It is very normal for teenagers to test boundaries and do things that they are not supposed to be doing. I think it is great that you have told yourself that you do not want to touch alcohol again. Keep that in mind. Whenever you are tempted, tell yourself that it is not worth it. Alcohol is not good for teenagers. It has quite a number of negative effects on the brain such as memory loss. In order to ensure that you stay away from alcohol, you need to know why, exactly, you were curious to taste alcohol. Was it really only an experiment by a curious teenager or were you feeling stressed, angry or lonely? If you were feeling stressed, angry or lonely and tried drinking, you need to stop right away before you do it again and the problem becomes an addiction. When that happens, it will be difficult to quit. If there are underlying reasons, what are they? Negative emotions? If so, find other healthy ways for you to channel your emotions. What can you do? Make a list. Journal. Call up a friend. Exercise. Watch a movie. Sing. Dance. Hopefully this will take away the urge to drink. Always best to stop early because when it becomes an addiction, it will take a lot, a lot of effort to quit. Take care.
My girlfriend is terrified of doctors but needs to go how can i help her?
My girlfriend constantly feels sick. She thinks she might be anemic but either way there is definitely something wrong with her. She has not been to a doctor in at least 3 or 4 years. She never gets a regular checkup and usually doesn't go when she is sick either. She is seriously terrified of doctors and i have no idea why. I am really worried about her and want her to go so bad but i can't force her. What can I do. I would love it if she just went to get a full checkup and blood work done just to make sure she is healthy. I have tried suggesting this but she shuts down. She is so scared that she will not go. Any ideas on how I can convince her and if she actually decides to go how can i help her feel less scared.
Does doing acid (LSD) make people change how they feel in the long run or just temporary?
Although I would not recommend using LSD as it is illegal. It is important to know the source of the LSD, how potent it is, what kind of doses they are (paper hits, liquid, sugar cubes, candy, etc), who has taken some of it, or witness someone else on it before actually taking it yourself. There have been cases of individuals experiencing serious long term psychological side effects including depression, paranoia, emotional changes, change in life perspective, and occasional "bad trips" which occur when someone is not emotionally stable enough or is affected by stimuli they can't handle while on LSD. Taking LSD is an experience. Skydiving could be the biggest most thrilling eye opening experience of your life or it could alter your state of mind into something you may not know how to change, may not want to change, may not be aware of, or a combination (scary). LSD is similar to skydiving in this regard. There are videos on the internet of people using LSD for experimental purposes. Timothy Leary believed it was a miracle drug, and some psychologists would agree with this position; while others wouldn't. Use as much caution as possible, prepare yourself for the worst, and hope for the best! To answer your question, yes there is a possibility that using LSD could cause problems in your relationship, yes it could change his life, and yes he could have drastic emotional changes. Just about any drug will do all of those things. Hope that helped.
The question that arose in mind is: Why do you want to drink it?If you are curious about taste, then let me tell you, it has a horrible taste. One of the worst tastes ever. People say that you gradually start to like it's taste after you drink it a few times. But why would I like to adapt if I have a hell lot of things to try, which will definitely be tasty from the first try itself ( for example, I recently tried Falafel and hummus). So, if it''s about the taste, I'd say no need to go ahead.If you want to experience the high, by all means, go ahead. But remember a few things:When you are high, you may end up doing things which you will regret later.The hangovers are the worse.Alcohol is addictive. It will affect your liver, as well as your neurons.I have seen it destroy lives. It can very well destroy yours.It is high in carbs, so you'll get a belly soon if you keep drinking daily, or even weekly.I guess that answers your doubts.Edit: Thank you, Syeda Ratal Zehra - رتل زہرا, Sharjeel (शरजील), Jay T Raj, Archit Maheshwari, Love Kumar, Nandan Choksi, Gokul Krishna for promoting the answer.
Do you feel like you where meant for something more? please help me?
Okay. So tonight its REALLY getting to me, so I began to research and found out people other than me feel this way. Ugh. Okay so here is my problem. I simply feel like I am meant to do something BIG in my life, but not like a doctor to cure cancer. I feel like its supposed to be like.. almost magical, or adventurous. I KNOW that sounds nerdy. But Honestly I'm quite the oppisite. I'm a fifteen year old male who has friends and skates. One thing that might cause this, My father comitted suicide when i was about 8 or 9. I have hatred towards him, considering I never had the oppertunity to meet him. He gave up on us. And for that I despise him. Anyway, I feel like I have a destiny. But for some reason, I can't find my way and fulfill it. I even tried "meditating" and trying to speak to someone, or something. But nothing has responded. I would rather drop out and go sail the ocean for the rest of my life. I feel so angry all the time that this is happening to me. I see things. Now this is where it gets kinda creepy. I see things ALL the time EVERY day out of the corner of my eyes. But Everytime I go to look what it is it escapes my vision. I look up at the stars and beg the universe to do something about this. Do I have a disease, or an illness? I feel like this life is just a waste, I would rather experiance the afterlife then this life. Its boring and cruel. I wish I lived in a different time period. What is happening to me. I feel like there is something chewing on my mind. Ugh. Please. help me Is there some type of orginization that I can join, that just travels around on a ship or something and just travels. If this life is just School, Work, Death. Then I'm out. Am I meant to follow my fathers footsteps?? What if I have the same illness? God. This is so frustrating.
