When I was young I listened to whatever CD's my brother had. This varied from crappy 90's House to Tupac, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Moby, Bryan Adams. Then at 14/15 I got really into Trance music because friends of mine at school were very into it. We went to a lot of parties, friends of mine were DJ's...

This is probably more ADD-related, but I think many people on here may have similar attention issues like I have. So I've worked for 2 nights getting job training, but I find I keep forgetting things and lose track easily. This is normal for a new job, but I really have fears for my first...

Does anyone else experience this? It's like my voice has two moduses. One is when I'm feeling relaxed, the voice is deep, normal, confident. Then sometimes when I'm really tired or stressed or anxious, my voice becomes so strained, like it almost hurts to speak. The voice sounds really weak...

This is probably the ultimate question and mystery behind many mental disorders. Is it a (genetic or dropped on the head as a child induced) brain disease that's causing dysfunctional behavior, or is it just a bundle of bad thought and behavior patterns that is enforcing these bad brain...

Found this article: Overcoming Addiction and Escapism | PickTheBrain | Motivation and Self Improvement Escapism is a pretty big problem in my life. I typed up a whole post about my habits, but I'd figure I'd just post this article since it seems to give the advice I wanted to hear.

Sometimes it makes me sad that I only basically have a brother and sister as family left, and I get jaleous of people with big families, their happy get-togethers, the social aspect, having your family to fall back onto, somewhere to go in the weekends, etc. Other times however I hear of all...

Do you ever have days when you just wake up feeling like you're back in "old" mindsets? You think back of your life of years ago, the people that were in it, the general feel and atmosphere of the time, and some old thinking patterns/thoughts/feelings emerge? I had that today, when I was going...

Like today I came home from a newyearsparty with a friend. But I immediately retreated to my room and taking a nap, not taking the time to greet my roommates and wishing them a happy newyear etc. I sometimes am so absolutely miserable/tired/fatigued that I just can't do it, and I feel really bad...

Does anyone else find it silly that in 2012, when beards have become quite fashionable, that employers still have their old fashioned rules with facial hair? That it looks unprofessional etc. I think I look better with a beard, I don't want to be a hipster or anything but I just have a baby...

There's prospects of a job for me, but there's one thing that's really making me nervous. It's dealing with money. I'm somewhat of a discalculist. I don't know if it's because I simply am bad at math and counting, or if it's the nerves and anxiety I have developed around it. Either way, I feel...

For lack of a better name, this thread is for all those of you who feel somewhat stuck in life, lost, goalless, aimless and have enormous difficulty FOLLOWING THROUGH with whatever needs to be done in your life because you lack the basic motivation or are prone to procrastination and slacking...

I do, I'm sad to say. It's like I don't feel urgence. My sister sometimes has a way of kicking my butt when I need to do something for myself. I lack a sort of basis motivation and slumber away, squandering time, procrastinating. Like today, she frantically urged me to go to the city hall and...

Do other people here experience this? I feel like I am almost always talking to myself when I'm alone. Thinking out loud about things I'm doing, cursing when things go wrong, describing my mood to myself ("oh man I'm so tired" etc.). Even hypothetically having conversations with people in the...

I'm fed up with looking for a job. Recruiters don't even reply to me anymore. It used to be way easier, but I guess once you're beyond 25 you're getting too expensive or something. I'm sick of pretending to be enthusiastic in motivation letters. The field I studied in is pretty hopeless for me...

My girlfriend and I called it quits tonight. It was a long distance relationship (had to learn that lesson) About a year ago I wanted to call it quits too but because she reacted quite emotionally and because I still had feelings for her it didn't happen. It has limped on ever since, and for...

Does anyone know good novels about this subject?

I was thinking recently about in what ways I differ from most people's lifestyles my age, and it dawned on me that I rarely drink alcohol anymore because I rarely go out. Then the question rose in my head: does the occasional weekly leisure drinking and socialising for most people make it more...

I've been taking vitamin B pills for a few days and notice an increase in energy. I don't have so much trouble getting up and getting started anymore and my anxiety has lessened. I am feeling a more stable energy mental and physical. I don't know if this is normal, or wether it means that I was...

Like, sitting around a table with people, and you're trying to come in to the conversation and start telling something, but immediately people lose their attention or start talking to someone else? Or you can't get get through at all? God I hate that. I wonder why this happens to me. Maybe...

So I have been contacted on the phone for a job opportunity for an admistrative job via a Job Agency. It's probably simple Data Entry work. But the Job Agency lady pretty much made me drop through the floor out of emberrassment because my CV was so crappily handled. I made it very sloppily and...
