I am bored with life. It's the same drill every week. Work, sleep, sit in front of my computer.
At times it seems like my only joy and my only goal in life is not being mistreated by other people.
What a pathetic existence! |

| Suppose that you are talking to two or more persons. They are standing side by side, and you are standing in front of them. You accidentally say or do something that one of the persons finds "strange" or "unconventional", and that person responds by lightly elbowing the person standing next to her, ... |

I can tell you that what I am finding is not much history of sexul abuse and actually not much in the way of psychiatric diagnosis either. I am also finding out that quite a few of them hav... |

Time limits are part of the test. |

| Envy may be defined as an emotion that "occurs when a person lacks another’s (perceived) superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it."[1] It can also derive from a sense of low self-esteem that results from an upward social comparison threat... |

| I understand that patients have the right to refuse medications, but therapists (those allowed to prescribe medications, like psychiatrists), also have the right to nag the patient until the patient either gives in or quits the therapy. More often than not, I suspect, the patient gives in. That bein... |

| Say "Don't ever mention that again". Just in a normal voice. If he/she doesn't understand where you're coming from after that, tell the psychologist to do their job instead of just assigning you a label, or you'll leave and find someone who will. And the psychologist will say that the only reason I... |

I think about the first three sometimes but I have never wanted to kill myself and highly doubt that I ever will want to, barring some kind of ridiculously bad future mistake. But I guess that some people who think about the first 3... |

| Those are all examples of suicidal ideation (SI). You see, suicidal ideation simply means "suicidal ideas." However, you can have SI and not be suicidal. You would need a plan also to be considered to be a suicidal person. You would also need to be unable to promise not to carry it out. You would t... |
