11 AnswersSecurity9 years agocan't get a scary thought out of my head?
i was reading some scary stories online and it kept mentioning the name of a demon. it had several stories involving this demon. i can't get the name out of my head, and when ever im not thinking hard on a particular subject, it pops into my mind. im afraid that im bringing something into my life that i don't want there (i know demons are probably not real, but im still scared). i need a way to forget i ever read it, or how to distract my self when that pops into my head. i learned my lesson, and will not be reading anything scary any time soon. i don't believe this involves anything paranormal, so i put it in this section. this is kind of embarrassing to admit, lets just say im in my teens.
6 AnswersMental Health10 years agoHas my computer been hacked?
first, im asking this by my cellphone, so hopefully my account does not get hacked .i first thought i was hacked because my web cams light turnd on , and i was not running any program that use it. In a panic, i disconnected my cam and then reconnected it. The light has remaind off. My second sign that i was hacked is that i was on the cam mode of omegle. I was just having a normal conversation when all of a sudden i got a reply saying "its been 5 (explative) minutes . Disconnect". I askd the other person if they sent me that , and there answer was not, so i figured one of us has been hacked. I ran an avg scan and has found nothing. So i have three mini questions.
Have i been hacked?
Was i being trolled on omegle?
Has anyone been hacked while useing avg?

3 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agowhats wrong with me? (not trolling or pity party)?
i have no confidence. i am almost a legal adult and i have never had a girlfriend (i have tried internet relationships but that didn't work too well). i have given up on changing that in the future. i can read emotionally upsetting things like on sixbillionsecrets and not feel anything. its hard for me to sleep at night. i recovered a repressed memory not too long ago. i am not even sure of how to describe it. i guess being roughly groped as a child by lady posing a teacher. i think more may have happened i get a headache when i try to remember. sense i could remember, i have had fecal incontinence (basically i don't know when i have to do a 2 until too late). due to said disease don't like being around people in real life . my parents didn't understand that its a disease when i was a child so i was punished for something i couldn't control. i have only last year gotten them to understand. i can not imagine living an adult life with this disease. i am quite pessimistic. i used to have thoughts of suicide but i realized that would be against the laws on nature (to live as long as you can). i don't eat very healthy . whats wrong with me (mental health-wise)?
p.s. thanks for reading

2 AnswersSoftware1 decade agowhat is this power called? (serious answers only please)?
i have this really odd power. im not sure exactly how to describe it. it like i have a blank piece of paper of computer paper, when i concentrate, it will show me a color along with giving me a feeling. like once , i was chatting online with one of my friends, who happens to be female. we didn't know each other too long, probably like 2 or 3 weeks or so. we were just getting to know each other, then i told her about this power. i tried to do an example, and the color was black, and sort of a "its good to be bad" feeling. i asked her if she owns anything black, and it turns out all of her shirts r black . i did something else like that with a different friend of mine, and the feeling was "forgotten" and the color was white. it turns out she had a white bracelet her friend gave her b4 her friend moved. i asked her , she stumbled like " let me think... Oh my white bracelet :O " . i asked about it and she told me the story. i normally can't tell if the color/feeling is meant for me, or the person im talking to.
what is this power called?
p.s. i wasn't sure where to put this question, so i put it in this section.
p.p.s. anyone have any info on a power like this?

1 AnswerWomen's Health1 decade agoi had a really bad night mare, need interpretation?
i just had a really bad nightmare. in my dream i was against a demon. my mom told me the office chair in my room floated. she then disappeared (i think she went to work). me and my dad were sitting on the couch looking into the kitchen. we were taunting and swearing at the demon. it started moving the stuff in the room . for some reason we had red candles and a house plant in the kitchen. witch is odd because we don't have those in real life. i walked into the kitchen and felt a burning sensation on my ankle. witch was probably the demon attacking me. i told it that no matter what it did, it wasn't going to scare me away. then i shouted at the top of my voice "get out of my house now". i think my dad was just watching me do this. i kept yelling it until i woke up.
my question is, what does this dream mean?
p.s. please don't say " join the *insert name of religion here* " . im atheist . going to stay that way.
p.p.s. yes i do believe in stuff that can't be explained.
4 AnswersDream Interpretation1 decade agoonline relationship bad break up?
let me give u the back storie b4 i ask my question. Also sorry for an miss spelld words. Im typeing this on my phone and it doesn't show the spell check thingy lol.
me and my girlfriend got into a fight last night (its an online relationship so it was more argueing then a fight). We were argueing last night beacuse i said i was going to break up with her several times. i told her i was going to break up with her beacuse she does not do a thing to improve our relationship (like she won't pick up a microphone and or a web cam to chat like normal online couples). She has seen my face and heard my voice. She didn't think so and she took it as "down talk". She said she was going to be online more . She said the same thing three days b4 and i had not heard from her sence then. It basicly turnd to me proveing thats she lied to me. After a bit more of senceless argueing she said "i can't stand it. U need to chose tonight. R u going to break up with me or not" so i said "fine i break up" (she was probably thinking i wasn't going to chose break up). that was all that was said.
So i gess my question is : what would u have done in my situation?
13 AnswersSingles & Dating1 decade agohow to tell my friend "the secret" book seems nuts?
as u may know from my other questions, i have major deprssive disorder. A friend of mine who is an adult went thru depression when they were a teen and were helpd alot by the book "the secret". Ive lately been asking them how to get thru depression as a teen cus they went thru it. My friend reccomended the book "the secret" . I startd to research the book. To me this book seems absolute nutts . Im an atheist and my friend is useing "the universe" as a cover word for god without realizeing it. My friend knows im athiest but still wants me to " send an energy signl to the universe" and to keep a positive mind (i did tell my friend i beleive ina power in people like chi or ki but i dont beleive in the universe as a wish granting being of some sort ) .
I gess my question is how do i tell my friend this book seems absolute nuts without hurting our friendship or her? This friendship is an online one so im limitd to type or voice chat ( we both play world of warcraft and talk on ventrillo ) .
4 AnswersFriends1 decade ago(re-post) how to deal with sleep problems from depression?
i know this isn't a doctors advice. ive had depression for about 2 years now (started at 14, im 16). along with depression, an odd sleeping pattern followed . ive tried the following methods to get and keep my self on a normal sleep pattern : going to bed the same time and trying to wake up the same time didn't work because i have no way of waking up the same time each day (i sleep right through alarm clocks). ive done a nice relaxing shower b4 bed (all it did was just wake me up ). sleeping pills didn't work (they made me more depressed). laying off the caffeine/Sugar/other stuff like that (all that did was give me a headache the next day). ive tried just laying in bed and relaxing b4 trying to sleep (normally when i do this, i can't help but go over whats made me depressed in my head). i tried a nice hot meal b4 bed (im not to good of a cook so it didn't work so well) . hot drink b4 bed (im not a fan of any hot drinks). ive tried meditation (it really hasn't effected my sleeping pattern in any way ). this is really effecting my life badly. any methods that i haven't tried yet would be greatly appreciated.
