How to cope with severe emotional pain from family circumstances?

June 14th, 2009

avas asked:


The past year has been extremely difficult from severe emotional pain caused by difficult family circumstances. I’m not being asked to go to family gatherings. It is not an emotionally healthy environment for me there, but it hurts tremendously and the emotional pain leads to very self destructive thinking and triggers suicidal thinking. I do have professional help, but there’s only so much they can do.

I’m trying to cope by reading a lot of self help books, but it’s not making the pain or negative thoughts stop. It’s difficult now because it’s the holiday season, which makes the whole situation even worse. I decided to invite an elderly man I know for Christmas dinner (I had invited him for thanksgiving, too) can’t help but blame myself, even though I have not/never. gotten along with these 3 sisters (2 older, one younger).
Please help, if you can. Thank you.

Is mood the most important factor when dealing in relationships?

June 14th, 2009

wolfpeaceful asked:


I think conventional psychology and self-help materials get this wrong… Personally, I believe mood is the most important part of relationships, and NOT communication, or social techniques etc. Think about it… when you’re in a good mood you communicate better, not the other way around. You can hone up on your communication skills all you want, and even follow them to the letter… but without the proper mood, things probably won’t work as you hope. Your opinion?

What are some good tools for managing and breaking away from OCD?

June 14th, 2009

Erin asked:


I have pure-O OCD, I have had it all my life. I have frequent violent impulses and thoughts of ******* or murder. I am managing it right now with a self-help book, and it hasn’t been particularly bad lately, but I was just wondering if anyone who has gone through this knows anything else I can do? Thanks.

alright. 20 year old guy, great guy. Very sweet, fun, energetic, he really just is awesome. He can’t be happy with himself though. He bases his happiness on the people around him…he can’t just be happy with himself, doing him. I hope this kind of makes sense for someone, it’s difficult to explain. Any suggestions are appreciated
