I don't think I'm benefiting society. I'm self-aware enough to realize that my occupation is generally useless. But every once in a while, somebody is able to reflect upon themselves and make positive changes in their lives. Most people can never reach that though.

Yes, behavioral.

From first glance, you can tell that he's different from a """normal""" person. The abused person generally has trouble admitting when they're wrong, has questionable emotional reactions, rebellious attitudes, etc. You can find a full list online somewhere.

Any advice for a guy who dosen't have anything wrong with him physically but can't get it up when he's with a girl he's really into?I can sometimes but thats when im in the moment and not thinking about anything. It's weird but with her I get so fucking nervous it never happened to me before. I even saw my ex recently and no problem with her. But this current girl i don't know what happens and im pretty fucking attracted to her so i know its in my head. Any tips?

Why is it that no matter what I try do, I can never fully connect with people?
I have "friends", but I rarely ever see them. Only sometimes when they invite me to a party, which is rare, and usually just a big housewarming or going away party, where everyone is invited. I never get asked to be a part of small get togethers or one on one hanging out.
I try asking people to hang out, and sometimes it works, but then I never hear from them again. I feel like there must be something wrong with me that whether I reach out to people or not, they never reach out to me.
What do you think, doc?
>>680734044
I somewhat agree.
>>680734198
Think harder, is there anything else going on in your life that could be causing you worry? If not, it could be purely neurological. Don't make the mistake of undergoing a "self-fulfilling prophecy" though. It's possible that you could be convincing yourself into having these panic attacks.
>>680734231

Yes, but many people believe that they should be able to control societal rules simply because it offends themselves as an individual. This seems like more of a political question.

>>680734749
Odds are, you don't. One therapist will tell you you do, and another will say you don't, and another will say you have something completely different. Here's some advice: Don't let some self-defeating thought pattern like "I have aspergers" turn you off from pursuing things you want in life.

You see, that's the thing, I always thought that I was weird and worried about being different from other people, but since I discovered the Asperger's symptoms I actually feel a lot more confident, since now I know the cause, it's like "oh, so THAT'S why, now I can just stop worrying". Anyway I'm going to see a therapist just to have some advice. Thanks anon!

Being happy takes effort. Just think of happiness as a bunch of chemicals in your brain, and when you do certain things, those chemicals are released. If you aren't happy with where you are in life, then list out the changes needed to be made. Once you figure out how to be happy, make it happen, because it won't just fall in your lap.
>>680735533
Sounds like performance anxiety. The night before you meet up with her, make sure you've gotten plenty of sleep, big meal, and you just feel good about yourself overall. Alcohol/marijuana may or may not make the situation worse, so I'm not recommending it.

>>680735648
You're over thinking the whole "connecting with people" concept.
Person A and Person B are attracted to each other. This attraction grows over time, until A and B have built a relationship to where they are fully comfortable with each other. No stress, no anxiety, and as you would put it, a full connection. If you have trouble reaching the comfortable stage, it's because the people you're interacting with just don't synchronize well with your personality. If you truly do care about this, then start by making small adjustments to yourself and seeing what works. It will take time. Another option is to just look for other people.

For the most part, you can make yourself happy with your thoughts. This isn't easy and it takes practice. If you're willing to put in the effort (most aren't), then you can succeed in being happy all the time. Start by working towards what will make you happy, and ignoring/getting rid of everything that could prevent you from achieving that.

I have a girlfriend who is 4 years older than me. I'm still in my 20's. Love her, had our ups and downs like anyone but overall good.
Been together 2.5 years. The longer the time goes on I find myself having strong urges to fuck a lot of other women. I have only slept with 4 women.
I have had 2 serious GF's before this. 4 yr, and 3 yr. Kinda felt the urge to fuck other women wit the second one, but not as much as I do with this one.
My current GF has no limits with sex, we have great sex, and she's super hot. So theres nothing specifically wrong.

Maybe you're a man. Check for a penis, if you find one, you have nothing to worry about. When you grow up you'll realise that life isn't about having all of the things you want all the time.
>>680738357
Your body isn't telling you that you're sad, you're telling yourself that your body is telling you that you're sad. I think you've got the right idea, you might just be trying to start drama with yourself.
>>680738418
Takes some real self-reflection and self-improvement. If you don't tackle these negative traits early on, they'll set you up poorly for later in life. Start by not assuming that every girl is your wife, or your "one true love". In our society today, many girls don't take relationships seriously. Don't stress yourself out, because trust me, if that relationship ends, it's not the end of the world. Get that through your head and you'll be fine.

Ha-ha. I know, but seriously. I think it might be the exact opposite. I've spent 9.5 years of my collective youth in monogamous relationships and always stayed faithful, and I'm starting to wonder if that was a mistake for longevity.
I guess ironically the girl I have now makes me consider marriage and REAL long-term commitment.... but then that's also saying goodbye to any chance of sewing oats while I'm young. I think I wish that I had already done it before I met her.

It's up to you. If you're a moral good guy or whatever, then you'll probably want to stay with her until she dies so you can tell yourself (and others) that you stayed with her until the end. But again, it's up to you. Just consider the future and what you'll want for yourself.

>>680740402
M.S. For the most part, and in my experience with interacting with people in both therapy sessions and normal life, it's learned helplessness. Many people want to believe they're depressed because it's a great way to blame all of your problems on something other than yourself.

all the legit psychologists I know have some fucked up thing they want to understand or cover up when they first get interested in mental health as a science. like I'm horribly chronically depressed and I wanted to understand depression without going to the doctor and getting diagnosed. one of my favorite professors was phobic of cotton candy and, in the most simple terms, became a psychologist so nobody would ever have the power over him to "cure" him.
it's simple. what is wrong with you that got you interested in psychology.

Since I was bipolar, I had moments of both, so I figured depression was never ending to the point people just eventually killed themselves and the ones who didn't successfully kill themselves were just in it for the attention.
I learned a lot about depression since then. I take 300mg of wellbutrin, abilify, and lorazepam and life for me just seems tolerable, but I honestly wish I could feel nothing inside. No happiness nor sadness, I want to be a robotic drone completely apathetic to my surroundings. I told my psychiatrist that and he didn't really respond to it. The main feelings I get is wanting to be left alone and not wanting to be lonely. What do?
>>680741732
No, tell her idiot. Don't take the decision out of her hands before she's a potato.
>>680740757
Shrink again.
Yep you're for real my man. Good on you. Not surprised the board lit on fire with what I said.
Believe me /b/ it's not what we are taught, it's not what's in the papers and pop psychology, but it's the case. It's just a tough pill to swallow for downy people.
True "clinical" depression has never been proven in a single laboratory setting.
A schizo person on the other hand... they have my sympathies.
>>680741843
Correcting grammar means you lost. It feels so good
>>680741552
I'm not stupid enough to kill myself. Unlike her I have quite a bit of time left on this planet and I plan to keep it that way. That is an option I.guess so thanks
>>680741914
Go to a real psychologist instead of listening to a trucker pretend to be one.

Coke or Pepsi?

Oh, and the PhD isn't worth it. Fucking waste.
The deeper you dive into this, the sadder it gets.
I think neuroscience would have been a better choice. Thats where the future of psych lies IMO.
>>680742126
Needing to win has nothing to do with it. It's a universal fact that I did win. Have a good life

It sounds like you have generalized anxiety disorder and might be at risk for an eating disorder.
Stop being a faggot and realize there are other aspects of your life you can control besides food, then realize that the aspects of your life you cannot control ... well you can't fucking control them so get the fuck over it.
Or try a thin spread of mustard on a piece of over-toasted toast as your entire day.
>>680742333
Shit blog post that has no meaning. Nice trips though faggot.
>>680742176
Not your opinion it's fact.
>>680733312
How much do you make? Per session/annually
>>680741585
Most people in the psychology field have either faced or have a family member that suffers from something that could be diagnosed. This is what starts people to become interested in the field, usually to help people that were like them/their family.
>>680740757
Last question for you, then I gotta get to bed.
What state do you practice in? Ever almost fuck a client?
>>680742586
He makes 7.25$/hr at his job at McDonalds.

Well she already had told me I have to tell her when to give up trying to be semi normal. I have her power of attorney, everything she owns is signed over to me. She basically told me I decided when she dies and how long she has to keep fighting. It's a fucking impossible thing to do in reality though. I don't envy judges
>>680742333
written like a normalfag who has never had depression
>>680742792
Damn, gotta admit when your right.
>>680733312
since i missed the ask a psychologist anything thread today like i usually do
i guess this will suffice
do therapists deal with ticks?
like motor ticks?
do you know much about it op?
>>680733312
Do you enjoy your job?
>>680740412
Just a guess, but it sounds like you didn't have the best childhood. If you could name some things, what do you care about? Name anything.
>>680740633
Work towards escaping it. Focus on the idea that life will get better, and don't let the present negativeness ruin your positive future.
>>680740654
Legalize all drugs, and let Darwinism take over.
But to address how things could be changed in the present, I'd say marijuana should be legal if something like alcohol can be legal. I also think that research into certain hallucinogens should be more open to discussion.
>>680741025
DSM-5, look up the codes yourself, because I could look them up just as easily and me telling you them wouldn't prove anything. The question you just asked me could be answered from a high school Psychology course, lol.
>>680741124
Masturbation has been known to harm one's social abilities. I don't know though, if no-fap works for you then by all means continue.
>>680741193
lol
>>680741314
It's the same advice because the situation is a lot simpler than you're making it out to be.
>>680741457
It's simple conditioning, I think you've got a good grasp on it. Imagine saying the word "fuck" to a bunch of cavemen. They'd be confused, sure, but it won't provide the same effect that it does today.
>>680741485
By throwing yourself into situations that make you anxious and learning to cope with it one step at a time.
>>680741585
Ah, I see. I had an abusive father, which might be connected to it. I sprouted an interest in how people work when I was young, and pursued it in college in the way I thought was best.

Not faggot OP, but what do you mean by "ticks" for the therapist?
>>680742386
OP, answer please.
>>680743034
There is a cause to sadness anon. Always. If the cause can be eliminated, so is the sadness.
This is never not true.
>>680743198
Like I thought, no proof. Anon is just a faggot who really like to roleplay.
>>680733312
Good shit OP.
Thanks for sharing.
>>680742413
But you want to control the things you can't so in order to compensate you control something like hunger or sex.
>>680743452
I like how he avoided my question about 5HTTLPR too
>>680741756
Being completely honest with someone who depends on you live doesn't seem fair to her. The truth is exceedingly shitty in this situation, she can't handle bad need at all. For example, she had a breakdown (crying, screaming, slamming doors) because I didn't refill her scripts when she wanted them filled. There where 3 days left and the stress was so much she broke down.
>>680733312
Did you know that if you put a space between the "e" and the "r" of therapist that it accurately describes your profession?
>>680743331
Wow much tell very smart. Gold ribbion for you.
>>680743228
ok well basically its like weird jerks or muscle cracks/actions that i receive very strong urges to complete for example, cracking my neck in a certain way
once i've started it gets harder to stop and i keep cracking my neck every 5 seconds
another one is shaking my head when i walk
idk why but it feels like i have hair in my eyes so when im walking, i do a small shake of my head every 5 seconds
thats sorta what it entails
>>680742914
Try to imagine future you cussing you out for each decision you could make. There's only a couple different ones. Which one would you hate to be the least?
>>680743198
Therapists do not use the codes in the DSM-V anymore. Most insurance companies now force you to use ICD-9 codes.
You claim to "know" psychology, yet don't explain about the actual diagnosis of Bipolar. There is Bipolar I and II, which Bipolar I is Mania and Depression while II is Hypomania, but I'm sure you knew that. And I'm SURE you know that I is much worse than II, faggot.
>>680743198
Well yes it is simple, there are only two fucking real, legal choices here. I was hoping someone trained in this type of shit would know more than me. This is /b/ though so it's my fault for expecting anything
How come you decided to be a the rapist
>>680741485
OP is a fucking idiot. DO NOT DO THAT! If you force yourself into those situations, you can seriously damage your psyche. You would want to gradually put yourself a bit out of your safe zone.
>>680744002
>>680743616
great minds think alike
>>680733312
Why don't you get a real job?
>>680744016
I agree. You need at least *some* kind of CBT in order to learn how to cope if you have any kind of disordered thinking
>>680733312
How long must a sexual "dry spell" for a male last before it begins to effect his mind/psyche? Will sexual dry spells cause a negative effect, positive effect, or no effect at all?
>>680743712
So stay with her till I decide 1st degree murder is ok... honestly seems like the best choice
>>680734749
Dude, everybody has "the symptoms"'. It depends on what degree you have them in. If it's ruining your life, seek help. If not, work with your problems yourself and get better.
>>680744016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_therapy
I might've been misleading by saying "throw yourself into the situation" or whatever, but we both agree on the general idea.
>>680743452
>>680743605
Hey, stop ruining the fun. :^)
>>680744272
What else would one do with a psychology major?
>>680744409
It depends on the person. Some are addicted, and can't go more than a few hours without getting agitated. Some have a very low libido, and never need to have sex to feel normal.
Do I want to be fucked by niggers if niggers are all I ever think about?
>>680743663
It sounds like you may have OCD. Ticks are extremely common in that disorder.
You have urges to do it, so that is one part of the disorder. Do you ever try to suppress these urges?
>>680744550
You could ask her while she's lucid if she'd like to die when the time comes. I don't think you should give her mind altering drugs without telling her while she's still a person.
>>680744701
Exposure Therapy is meant to be used by a therapist in a control setting. God damn you're an idiot.
>>680745004
I'm detecting an intelligence insecurity, and a desire to prove yourself right/better than everyone else all of the time using pedantic and pretentious behavior.
>>680743663
Also, a few other questions. How many hours a day do you spend doing these urges? Do these urges appear after you use some type of drug?
>>680744942
Ok I think you misunderstood me. If I stay I'm gonna wait till she isn't functioning before I kill.her (no way I'm going to put it lightly, it's a big deal to me). Now the issue is deciding what point that is I have no clue how to bring this up while she is lucid... any ideas on opening lines?
> so how do you want to die when the time comes?
>>680744942
I like the thought of incest but don't wanna fuck my family. am I cool?
>>680745936
You don't have sexual feelings towards family members, so you're good.
>>680744845
yes i try but basically once the thought is in my mind it is incredibly hard to resist
so i try not to think about it
i can resist some easier than others and i have a whole slew of different ticks apart from the two you mentioned
Alice seemed to think i could have some seizure condition but ocd seems more plausible
>>680745347
well im not sure about the hours a day
it varys alot but there are large portions of the day when im doing ticks frequently
>Do these urges appear after you use some type of drug?
no ive never done drugs and im not on any medication
im 18 atm and alice suggested i ask my doctor which im planning on doing :# not sure what it could be tho
If you put a space in your title, it spells 'The rapist'
How do you feel about this.
Do you ever wish you were your client?
>>680733312
Why are people in your line of work on drugs all the time?
>>680744409
What about those that never or rarely have it and want to have it?
>>680733312
How long do you consider it a bad time try to get back together with a significant other that broke up with you without giving a reason but still flirts with you
>>680733312
How do I accept death without beliving in any afterlife?
>>680746361
sic thanks doc....sooo can you write prescriptions? or whatever
Why did I have to see a therapist after my mom died
>>680746524
No, it'd be a ridiculous waste of money.
>>680746537
I haven't really run into this, but I'm assuming it's because of the inherent repetitive nature.
>>680746627
If she breaks up with you without a reason, then it's your responsibility to break things off and move on. You've probably heard that before, and you're groaning at the thought of it, but it's what needs to happen. She still has control over you because you're still attached, or to put it in other terms, addicted. She can manipulate you because whenever she flirts with you, she satisfies your withdrawal symptoms. I don't know if this is what she's doing, but I've seen it before, and she's definitely capable. Just move on.
I haven't been feeling right in a long time and the past year or two have been a struggle to get through. I'm easily irritated and I try to keep it to myself, but they last week or so has been really hard. I don't really trust anyone and it makes it difficult to talk to or relate to anyone. I stay at home most of the time and the only friend I have is leaving in a few months. I'm married, but our relationship has had a lot of problems. We're ok now, just kinda rocky at the moment. I worry about how it will last with my job and sometimes I wish I didn't take it, but we needed it. I don't know how to get better, what can I do?
whenever people invite me places even if its family I always feel like they're doing it out of pity and don't actually want me to come, is this cause of my depression or do they really hate me?
>>680746467
Granted, I'm not an expert in Psychology, but I would bet that if you go to a doctor they'll diagnosis you with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. You have the symptoms that are typical of people that have that disorder. They will probably give you a medication for it. Good luck!
>>680733524
Kill yourself.
>>680739224
>that fucking tea pour
>>680747281 nah you should get deep into debt to have sex with at lest 3 sexy prostitutes and stream that for us, so we can fap to it. Then do whatever you want that's fine.
>>6807472812
Yes you fucking idiot why would you be so stupid to risk everything like that. The military does random UAs, you knew that.
What time is it?
>>680746976
I'm not a therapist (yet). I am only a senior in undergrad with a psychology major. Next year I plan to go for Clinical Mental Health Psychology. Only Psychiatrists are able to write a presription, which I don't agree with.
>>680746955
Check out Albert Camus. Give his novel "The Stranger" and his essay "The Myth of Sisyphus" a read, I think you'll find them enlightening. Essentially, take your life into your own hands, give it meaning by yourself, while still understanding that life has no inherent meaning. You can accept death by realizing that your ability to accept anything at all is a miracle in the first place.

It's either insecurity or paranoia or a mixture of both. I don't see why you're asking me if they really hate you. How would I know?
>>680745658
It's not a date. She's your wife. How the hell am I gonna know better than you? Imagine her healthy, and helping you through this decision. She'll surely have some ideas.

I'll give it a try. My main problem being I don't want to cease existing. I have sleeping problems because I just remind myself every night that one day it's just over.
>>680733312
What year is it
One of my ex-gfs is sending me death threats under a false pretense and is also saying that she is going to kill herself. Basically, she is psycho and I dont know how to get rid of her because she knows where I live and I took her v-card and all of that mess. What do
>>680748295
When did you start having these sleeping problems?
>>680748446
Call 911. Her saying she'll kill herself will put her in an institution for at least 72 hours. They'll be able to give her the help she needs.
>>680748446
I would sit her down and talk about it, unless she's legitimately insane.
>>680748092
It's morally wrong in some places. And there's the risk of diseases and all that stuff. Just be safe and do what you want, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. It's a normal animalistic urge, but don't let that trick you into thinking it's morally acceptable.
>>680748451
when another pseudo-psychologist tries to hijack your thread
>>680748295
Think of your thoughts as a river or a stream. You need to put a big rock at the base of that stream. In other words, stop yourself from thinking and thinking about the inevitability of death. The moment you catch yourself, simply cut off all thought and pursue a more positive thought process.
>>680748446
>>680748616
what pseudo-psychologist number 2 said
>>680748616
is it wrong that i want a woman to just use and abuse for pleasure with my girlfriend?
>>680747946
She isn't my wife, never even planned on marrying her.
>>680748865
Somebody needs to give these people real answers to their questions.
>>680748451
Since I realised everything ends when you die, around when I was 8 or 9. It's not a sleeping problem per say, it's more of a long time (around 2-3h) to actually sleep. Sometimes I can just black out when I get to bed and I'm really tired, but on normal days I`ll have my mind reminding me that the clock is ticking and I just can't sleep until I black out.
>>680748971
Oh. Then give up power of attorney to the next of kin. Why are you being a whiny cunt when you have a free exit?
>>680748947
Actually kind of.. I can remember the name because it's 2 A.M, but whether you want to receive the pain or give it to somebody else is diagnosable. But just wanting to do it and actually doing it aren't the same thing.
>>680733312
Why can't I sleep at night?
>>680749548
I don't want to want to make women want to have sex with each other. How do I stop?
>>680749126
From reading your responses, you're no more of help to these people as I am. The only difference between us in this thread is the size of our egos.
Anyways, I've done a pretty decent job at proving how pathetic both a therapist and a client is. The therapist exploits, and the client is always wanting to be exploited. Any therapist claiming otherwise is kidding themselves or an ignorant altruist. I'll leave this thread to the college kiddies.
>>680749548
i would only do it with a women who is into being a slave to a couple. Is wrong if all parties consent?
>>680749548
where can I meet and how do i spot women with rough rape fantasies?
>>680749400
Her mom is a ward of the state, no dad, no siblings. Hence my two options, stay and watch her die or leave her to die alone.
>>680749400
Hey that's gettin' a little sexual
>>680749874
Just by saying that a therapist and client are "pathetic" makes you lack any credibility. Most people going for therapy want to receive help for their issues. If you're a therapist, you want to help people.
>>680749969
If they consent, legally you're allowed, so have at it! And if you aren't getting into legal trouble or it's causing you distress you're fine.
>>680750184
Then I guess see previous answer. What does imaginary healthy gf do to help you with this decision? Make it for you? Suck your dick? Cuddles and waffles?

>>680733312
My boyfriend is aware that I can't leave him financially and is forcing me into being part of a polyamorous relationship. Am I being emotionally abused? I think he gets off on the peer he has over me
>>680750562
I would never be in this situation. If I start to Lose my mind I'm going for a high score
I'm obsessed with a girl, to the point of stalking. She liked me briefly, and it felt like I beat the system because I am a loser and she is a 10/10 (physically and because of her ability to socially connect with me, an autist). Eventually I judged her (for liking cuck porn haha) and she wanted nothing to do with me any more cause I made her feel like shit. It's easier if you ask the questions
>>680751159
Suicide is a common outcome in aggressive MS, since waiting too long makes you increasingly unable to do basic things.
>>680751266
What exactly is the "issue"? Is it simply you're following her, messaging her, etc..? Why have you become obsessed?
>>680751469
Yeah. Doctors have told me the signs to look for. Pretty basic stuff though
Thinking about ending my life comforts me. It's as if knowing that there is a way out makes baring the pain easier.
>>680751662
well I've stopped for four months now, but I used to email her all the time. I never met her but we talked on the phone for hours during the small window where things were good. Never talked to someone who could make me open up like that. I have emailed her for years till 4 months ago. Now I have a girlfriend and things are going to shit. Thinking about other girl all the time. Feel like I'm using everyone else in my life
