He wants to die young.
By: worriedfriend | 03-08-2008
i've made friends with this very friendly man. as i've got to know him better, i have noticed somethings that do not sound healthy to me such as him wanting to die by the age of 40 max. he doesnt want to get married or have children because he has claimed to have tried it once and things didnt work out. he actually wasnt even really married but just dated this girl for a really really really long time. he doesnt visit the doctor even when he is in severe pain and says that he deserves it. he almost never sleeps and claims that his daily 5 mile run keeps him going... he doesnt really open up. he talks about what has happened, but doesnt express his deep feelings about it. he has been through some great challeneges in life. i feel like there is something he is not over. and im very worried about him. when i try and point out that maybe he needs help or his way of thinking is not normal, he tells me that im wrong because he wouldnt lie to himself or "i love being outside of the norm". it seems as if he is in denial about the whole thing... and also that he is very weak emotionally. he breaks down and takes things very hard. he expresses no hatred or negative feelings towards anyone but god and he claims thats because he would rather god take him away than the people he keeps taking out of this life. it seems as though he is trying to run from the reality of life. i've done research on depression but i havent gotten any real results. i dont know what i could do to help him. i am very worried to a point where im thinking about this situation all the time. i have to find a way to get to him and make him understand. i believe he has been goign through this for a while now, not sure exactly how long. but i know its been over three years for sure. any advice? i am willing to do whatever it takes. and is something even wrong or am i over analyzing the situation? there is a lot more to his behavior than i expressed earlier ... i tried to sum it up to the best of my ability. otherwise he is a very very friendly person. one of those friends that you cant help but cherish. always there. always willing to go out of his way for you. i mean, you couldnt ask for more from a friend. he claims to not have very many close friends and has told me that he considers me one. he is very close with his family and does whatever he could for them. but he says that right now its all about them but later in life "i want to be selfish for once" and that's when he wants to end his life ... i really dont get it... please give me any advice or feedback you may have.
Overcoming Arachnophobia
By: CapitanaSparrow | 03-08-2008
I am trying to overcome arachnophobia. I have never really cared for spiders, but I have been able to deal with them throughout my youth and young adulthood. However, over the past two years I have noticed that a general disliking has progressed into an irrational fear with physical symptoms whenever I see a picture or actual spider. I begin to sweat, become shaky and itchy. My mind starts to panic and I HAVE to get the spider dead and away from me. Hours later, I will still be uncomfortable in the room where I saw one. This usually occurs if I see a spider in my apartment..where I have had to deal with what I believe to be brown recluse spiders on occasion, I have tried to think rationally, have read a conservation magazine about local spiders with large photos to "educate" myself. I am really needing advice on this other than "read about them and you'll realize they are more scared of you than you are of them." I am scared to do too much research online, because some of the websites with info on how to overcome it have photos of spiders on them- which does not help my frame of mind since I have the aforementioned reaction even to photos. I plan to do mission work in the future, and I know I will need to deal with spiders as part of life. PLEASE someone give me some sort of way to overcome this!
