Well..It wasn’t really a surprise to me when my parents told me they were getting a divorce. I guess I kinda expected it, but I wasn’t really prepared to handle the truth. Recently, (within the last year), I’ve learned of their divorce plans, and I cried for a few months, I guess you could even say I was in a state of minor depression, which didn’t last. I’m still recovering, but just the thought makes me sad. I’m only 13, and for this news to just be dumped on me is really painful. Especially since I really don’t have anybody to talk to.. Here is my story:
It started a while back apparently, maybe some 7 years ago, but i just started noticing signs when mom first explored the internet. She came upon Facebook (which was new at the time). So, she made an account and got addicted to online poker and mafia wars. Through poker and mafia wars, she met a man who lived in Belgium, a short man with a body full of tattoos and piercings, who claimed his tattoos and piercings represented his religion. SO anyways, did I mention my mom HATES tattoos and piercings, or she did at the time. So they became friends online, they talked, they chatted, and sent secret messages to eachother. That’s when I suspected they might be distant lovers, even though my parents are still married. So my mom told me they were just friends, but I didnt believe her, not to mention she made 4 trips to Belgium to see him within the last year, practically wiping out most of my family’s spending money in this economy. So now my mom is looking for jobs and apartments in Belgium to live with this guy, and my poor dad is left in the dust, he is kinda shy, and until this new man came into my mom’s life, it was obvious he still had some feelings for her. Now, my mom treats me, my two younger brothers, and my dad with the most rude behavior and no respect. She no longer has tolerance for us, because she spends every waking minute of every day 24/7 at her computer talking to this guy. She even stopped making dinner for us, and she is pretty mean. I’m scared for the future, I do not like her boy friend, and I still love my parents, but am unsure. I really Really need help and advice and support to get through this, I know there are other children suffering from the same matter, and I hope we can all get through this. Please help me, and thank you.

Ok I am considering doing home schooling due to school issues and my learning style. I prefer to just learn on my own with little to no help. So I was wondering what are some pros and cons of home schooling?
here are my additional questions but any information will be helpful 
Are physical ed. credits still required? If they are how do I earn them?
If I attend school for some classes and home school for others what classes would they be?
Will I still be aloud to participate in school activities like clubs, sports, spirit assemblies, and dances?
Who would teach me? My parents or a DVD or something else?
Is there online help I can get if I need it?
What about my friends? Will I still have time for them? Or will they grow distant from me because I don’t go to the school?
Well thats basically it, like I said before, any information would help me in my decision.
Oh and what about costs?
How exactly do i get pe credits? i’m pretty sure riding horses doesn’t help? Can you explain?
Hello,
I am 24 working a dead end job in western NY and tired of knowing I’ll get nowhere.
While working my full time job I plan on taking distant learning classes online with my local community college (SUNY ECC) in order to get my Associates Degree. Then after that transferring the credits earned there and going after a distant learning program with SUNY at Buffalo (University at Buffalo) and earning my Bachelors degree.
Would this be a good way to go?
I have yet to decide what to go for… the areas that I’m interested in and would like to work in are Accounting or some type of Computer/Software Engineering.
Do you know which of these would be best to choose? Whether it be salary, job vacancies, etc,
Would there be any decent paying jobs out there that I could get with an Associates Degree? (I’ll be working towards a Bachelors at that time)
So I take an online psychology course via correspondence (online/distant learning) I did this assignment, but failed to notice a certain part, causing me to get a 95% (this part had to be submitted before the assignment)
My teacher gave me a chance, that if by chance I did do it, and just lost it, I could send it in, and she’d regrade my assignment.
The thing is I didn’t do it.
Should I send it in and pretend like I had it the whole time, or should I just stick with the mark I initially got?
I’m looking into becoming an online school teacher and I was curious to know how much they get paid, do they get paid hourly or salary and since it’s distant learning and all the people live throughout the world, how do you get paid? How much is it that virtual teachers usually get? For example: If I worked for the University of Phoenix online. Any help would be appreciated!
i am 32 yrs old and want to do my graduation but i never passed my 2nd P.U.C exam, any suggestions , any good online schools or distant learning as i work full time in mumbai?
Ok, I have a collegiate loan through wells fargo. I’m switching from a regular university to a distant learning online courses with the art institute. I will still be a full time student (12 hours a semester or more). I understand that some loans are different, but if you have an idea or have experience with this specific type loan please help me out. I plan on calling them but they arent open until tomorrow and I need to know as soon as possible because if i’m transferring i have to do it ASAP. I have two questions: Will those loans transfer and apply towards my online courses? and if they dont will they still recognize me as a full time student even though its through online courses, or will i have to start paying my loans back?

Okay, so here’s the deal:
In September, I learned that I was 2 months pregnant. By October, my baby was fully miscarried. Throughout the previous 3-4 years, I have been in and out of moods. Sometimes I was happy, sometimes very upset. However, after the miscarriage, I have been down on school, relationships, and life in general. I am a Biology/pre-med major who would call my mother to ask permission to skip class out of sheer guilt. But lately, the guilt feelings have diminished–which I know is a VERY bad sign in college–and I have been skipping multiple classes a week. Not only that, but I don’t complete homework assignments and have been failing quite a few of my classes. When I need to study or do research online, I find myself staring at the computer screen and wondering off to other websites for hours.I’m allwaaays drowsy. To make matters worse, I am sometimes unable to sleep–and when I am finally sleepy, I decide to stay up and watch TV/get on the internet (and it also doesn’t help that my roommate is the bride of Chucky). My friends have become increasingly distant. They claim that I may have postpartum depression, which could possibly be true. However, instead of them visiting and checking to see how I’m doing, it seems as if they have chosen the path of letting me ride things out myself, and they are less sympathetic and understanding when my actions (ignoring calls, being unenthusiastic) reflect my emotions.
In response to my pain during the miscarriage, my doctor prescribed me Oxycodon, which is a miracle pain reliever. I took my pills as recommended, but in my bouts of depression, I would take 2 at a time. It eventually increased to 3 pills, and then I would combine those with my macroadenoma medication (Cabergoline). It got so bad to the point that my boyfriend would have to stay in my room and monitor my health to ensure that I didn’t pass out on the floor. SN: Although I ran out a month ago, I’m still craving that Oxy…. I have gained about 15-20 pounds because of my bond to Southern cuisine and fast food. I find myself eating when I’m not even hungry. Like now, I’m eating Garrett’s popcorn, and I ate an entire foot-long sub, two cookies, and a bag of chips for dinner. I guess you could say I’m a calf, training to be a full grown COW.
I have had several episodes of guilt, triggered by the smallest of situations, all ending in tears. I would breakdown in the car at the mall parking lot, my dorm room…My emotions do not discriminate in location. I am overwhelmed with the stresses of sorority life as well, which demands much of my time, most of which I do not have because of my classes. As the 2nd VP, Representative, and Financial Secretary, I have a lot of responsibility. Lately, I have been losing the respect of my sisters because of my lack of initiative and interest in activities.
Now, the semester is coming to an end. I am currently in the process of applying to med schools. I fear that my grades will be terrible, and that I will lose my academic scholarship, which determines whether or not I will stay at an out-of-state school. This is my senior year, so I can’t afford to mess up, but I guess that’s a little too late, huh?
My question is this: what do I do now? I am known to be spontaneous and charismatic, but I am completely drained! I figure I should see a doctor, but I don’t want to waste my time if they are just going to diagnose my problems as "the blues". Are there alternative methods to dealing with my issues besides counseling, such as vitamins? Lol, maybe I should have chosen psychology instead of pre-medicine as my major so I could understand myself better!
I posted this question before also, I didnt get the answer.
I completed my degree course, but I couldn’t write the final exam. So please find an acredited university from which i could take a degree in any subject. Distant learning or online learning preferred. PLZ HELP
My bf had fallen out a window (on the 2nd floor) when he was 3-4. He had to relearn everything from talking to eating…everything. I do not know a lot about his ‘accident’. He was in remedial classes throughout school. He was pushed through school. He has always had a dream of joining the military. According to his asvab scores, it is a distant dream. When I met him, he could not read. I am pretty knowledgeable and I have helped him in some ways. He is now reading articles out of newspapers but some words are still hard. I can tell he needs more help in every subject. I can teach him, but I don’t know where to start. I was wondering if there is some kind of [free] test he can take (even online) to see where he is at academically? I estimate 5th grade. I would like to know if anyone has any ideas. One recruiter, who is a teacher, took him a few hours on sundays, but gave up on him after he failed the test. Please help.
I really would appreciate if anyone can help me in this matter. I am a single mother of 2 and time is precious. I have searched some list, but I always hit a wall. I want to complete my AAS degree and continue on to get my BA. Does anyone know of an online distant learning school (accredited by USDA/ or CHEA) that I can attend?Thank you.
So I was dating this girl who is not a US resident, she has no car and no job and cant get one. She just goes to school. She’s a virgin like myself and 20 years old. So I take her out on a first date it goes great. We hangout a few days later at the gym and things went well. That weekend we double dated with the friends who set us up.
Then I go and hang out with her and her best friend at her birthday party. She got drunk and hung all over me and kissed me three times to which I reject her. I leave the party and told her all is good. The next day I receive some texts from her hoping all was fine and I flipped out and said a lot of wrong stuff. For example I said that I hope she’s not into me just for citizenship and said even my mom said that to me. Yet after a lot of arguing we came to an agreement, forgave each other and when on like it never happened.
So the following weekend I show up at her house to take her out I bring roses and we go on another double date, that night was great and by the end of the night I ended up giving her a kiss. We talk about it in a text and she seemed happy. The next night we went out to a party didn’t spend too much time together. I didn’t end up kissing her because I wanted to see if she would kiss me. She didn’t. I also told her some things that I now regret. The friends who set us up told me he only set us up to get us laid and I also said his girlfriend commented on how cheap she was and pissed that I had to pay for everything. The following Monday we were supposed to go flying (I’m a pilot) and she decided not to go and instead we just hung out for a few hours, things were fine she played with a stuffed animal of mine and we laughed and giggled and had a great time.
After that she got real distant. I caught her at the gym with her ex, she was just hanging out. I called her the next day she said she was unsure about how she felt. I told her I was sorry for the things I said and said that I really like her. The following week we went to lunch which went great. We talked a bit on the phone later which got a bit strange as she said she was unsure how she felt again and mentioned what I said about her being a non-citizen and the marriage thing. I told her I really like her and if I was truly worried I wouldn’t be taking her out so much or at all. She said she didn’t want to talk and hung up on me. I begged her to talk to me on the phone to which she wouldn’t. I later texted her saying I’m sorry for being immature and ill give her the time she needs.
A few days later I texted her saying I needed to talk because I was a complete mess. She said she needs to talk and we started to talk on the phone. She told me it was over and she didn’t want to hurt me and says she doesn’t feel the same way about me anymore and feels that it’s not going to go anywhere. She also said that it has nothing to do with the other guy even thou she still has feelings for him. I told her how I was falling for her and that I wanted a second chance and how I made mistakes and that I have changed and I’m new to dating and I’m learning a lot of things the hard way. That I would treat her with the affection she deserved. After I poured my heart out she had enough and we ended the phone call. I spent the night thinking about it and realized that I ruined what could have been great. I texted her saying I need her in my life as a friend and need a female friend. I said we had a great time and communicated well. She said she didn’t want to hang out with me one on one anymore and only in a group setting.
So a few days later I texted her saying don’t feel like you hurt me, I’m just upset things didn’t workout. I said I’m doing online dating and its working and that I’m currently talking to someone who found me and that we might go on a date.(Yes someone is interested, but no date) Thinking she would feel more comfortable that she didn’t hurt me. I said there’s no reason why we can’t be friends and that I don’t want to completely loose her. All she said was “K, goodluck…”. I said “Come on your acting like your the one who got dumped. Lighten up, I have. It’s all good.” That’s the last time we talked a day ago.
She doesn’t want to talk to me. We see each other in the gym and make eye contact and I feel like she still has feelings. She’s the first girl who ever truly showed me any affection. She used to be crazy about me. We had such great chemistry. I’m so sad and upset. I was just too shy to hold her hand and do stuff like that and be passionate. This was the first chance at love in my life and I blew it. I’ve been waiting 24 years and I lost the girl.
I need help. What happened? What do I do? I really want her back in my life.
Sounds like, I really just messed things up. I had no prior experience. I like her because I felt comfortable because shes a virgin an so am I. Thought I could take it nice an slow till I got comfortable. She was a bit aggressive which set me off. I guess at this point I should move on and date other people. I got what I deserve I guess.
I just hate how things ended. I really just wanted to be sweet and Mr right. I’m still very shy around women and afraid to make any physical contact.
I fell in love with him already but I cant love him. He is my online chatmate for a year already. The relationship progress immediately at the start but i distant myself when i learned she has a girlfriend already in my country Philippines…he is from California–but he said he will chose me over her. Still i did not agree with that situation….
Then,we are also of different religion he wanted me to convert but i dont want to, I am a Catholic and he is a Jehovah Witness…we cant talk long about religion without ending in an argument…he got also an ex for 10 years whom he has still in contact through facebook. Sometimes they talk about how they love and know each other. And I get jealous so much because of the length of their relationship. But he assures me its nothing….—I want to control my feelings but, the more I want to tell him I love him and I miss him….He would visit the Philippines if only i agree with a relationship with him but i cant, i got fears that he will be disappointed with my looks, too. I want to love him and be loved but its hard considering all these situations…what will i do? For him, I dont want to choose him because he is less to what type of guy i like but its not true….I feel, I am less for him….
I want to apply for a college in the USA, but I would like to apply an online school, will the college issue me I20?
I am new at my firm as their only Marketing Representative and since I have been here, I have been calling most of their prospective leads, and learning about the company’s products. Today I started to call different companies to try to have a meeting with their staff to see what luck we may get for people to enroll into the programs, but it is so hard to get people to sign up especially as most of them is complaining that they don’t have enough money.
What strategy do you think that I can use to get people to sign up on our distant programmes and how do you think I should approach these prospective students.
Any suggestion will be wll appreciated. Thank you.
Now that online education is offered by many traditional schools, you may well have thought of trying it out, especially when you consider all the hoopla that surrounds it. Furthermore, it may seem like a more plausible idea with the recession continuing to take its toll. We all want to save a few extra dollars and possibly earn a few extra too at the same time. It seems that an online education is a good alternative that can help you do exactly that. You may be looking to fill that vacant position at work but you lack the academic qualifications needed. With an online degree you can achieve, both a cheap education and the promotion. If you feel you possess the needed skills but you do not have papers to back up your claim, online education seems to offer a solution for that too. You can now earn a life experience degree within a month or two and clinch that job offer within a short period of time.
In addition to the aforementioned, taking online classes seem to have plenty of advantages that those taking traditional classes cannot even start to imagine. For once, consider the time flexibility. In a traditional environment, you have to take your classes as per a set schedule. You get late and you miss out on the class entirely. With an online education, you decide when you want to take you ‘classes’, and even if you do miss a class, you can always, take them up again, ‘load them up’, as it were and just find yourself in the ‘classroom’. Online classes also have the benefit of allowing students more interaction with others who would otherwise not be available in a traditional classroom setting. Consider for example, the interaction that would exist between a student from London, another from Tokyo and another from Washington. They can share ideas, exchange experiences and work together on their projects. Would you imagine such as scenario in a traditional classroom setting?
With many people are going back to school to improve their chances of getting a promotion or changing careers, it has become necessary to juggle between academics and social life. Some of these people are working moms or working teens. In a traditional setting, it would have been a race against time each waking moment in order to juggle all of these at once. However, thanks to online education, this is not necessarily the case, a working mom can easily take up her ‘classes’ right at home and still fulfill her family responsibilities. The same goes for the teenager. More and more people are opting for online classes over traditional ones and this trend will likely increase in the future.
In my work as a career consultant, I often come across clients whose careers suddenly stall out after 10 or 15 years. These are highly motivated and qualified people who, after receiving a promotion or two, find themselves stagnating in the same position with no prospects of advancement. Whenever that happens, my advice is usually the same: it’s time to get more education. Even those who already possess as Master’s would do well to obtain a Ph.D. to show employers that they’re serious about getting ahead. With plenty of schools now offering online doctorate degrees, this is easier to achieve than ever before.
I have recommended online doctorate degrees to numerous clients, and many have followed through on my advice. From their feedback, I’ve gathered that the main obstacle to starting a program is selecting a school. That’s because the options are virtually limitless, as students don’t have to pick up and move halfway across the country in order to attend the college or university of their choice. Thanks to these Internet-based classes, students can enroll in any educational institution without regard to location, which gives them greater flexibility when evaluating different online doctorate degrees.
In order to find out what’s available, it’s important to check out all the leading Ph.D. programs from top universities. You should definitely compare degree requirements, tuition fees, research opportunities, and financial aid availability before selecting a specific school. Obviously, not all online doctorate degrees are the same in terms of how rigorous the curriculum is or how much the tuition costs. You can end up saving thousands of dollars on your degree by comparing programs, applying for grants or financial aid, and enrolling in a program that requires fewer credits for completion. If money is a concern, then this type of comparison shopping is a must.
While you’re researching top doctoral programs, another thing to check for is whether or not the school is accredited. By now, distance learning education has become so widespread that most people already know that without accreditation, any degree you get won’t be worth the paper it’s printed on. But it’s worth repeating here. Only accredited online doctorate degrees deserve your time, effort, and money. If a school is not accredited, then you’re basically buying a sham credential that won’t do you or your career any good in the long run.
Now is as good a time as any to pursue your degree via the Internet. Getting more education is never a bad idea, and can lead to higher job satisfaction, career advancement, salary increases, respect from your peers, and greater self-esteem. Whether you want to specialize in Clinical Psychology, Public Policy, Social Work, Education, or any other field, there are online doctorate degrees for you. Check out a program you like and get started today!
With so many people going for online master degree programs and other online certifications, it can be a little frustrating when you feel that you are being left behind simply because you have a lot to attend to or you have no idea how the whole thing works. Fortunately, I am here to demystify a few things about online degree programs. First and foremost, I have to say this no matter how often it has been repeated. Online education is big in a big way. I mean the potential for online education seems to be up there and those who are catching in on it will stay ahead of the curve. This is because, virtually all institutions are embracing this relatively new form of education and many employers are placing the same value for an online certification exactly the same as a certification earned through a traditional campus setting.
Online master degree programs, especially an MBA seems to be the most preferred among those taking online masters programs. One thing I always point out about online education is the fact that those who take online classes tend to be people who are more focused and able to accomplish goals without being micro-managed. As an employer, I would place more value on an online master degree certification than on a traditional one. I believe that an online degree has taken the student a lot of commitment, probably juggling between household chores and work with doing research and finishing papers on time. On the other hand, most students who take up traditional campus setting classes do not have the same commitment. When left on their own, they would likely not finish the allotted material on time. This kind of commitment, or lack of it, will likely be passed on to the workplace. Identifying it early can mean the difference between employing dependable and non-dependable employees.
An online master degree program is also an excellent way to get acquainted with doing research online. Most organizations expect their employees to have good research and communication skills. Online education, inadvertently offers those skills to its students. A student unawares does a lot of online research and reads countless journals, newsletters and locates important online resources before he or she can compile his or her thesis. These skills prove invaluable later in the job. Indeed, prudent employers will likely see the value of an online master degree certification and will not hesitate to consider the holders of such certifications.

Sometimes, when I am talking to someone – usually when I am being lectured – the person seems to look fine until something strange begins to happen; The person seems to get smaller and smaller – or more precisely, it seems as though my field of optical awareness (which is usually something like 5-10 degrees in a circle in the direction you look at) gets much larger, effectively making the person seem smaller by making him/her take up a smaller fraction of the field.
Once this happens, if I ignore it, it goes away within a few minutes, but if I pay attention to it, by concentrating on how small things look, and visualizing them becoming smaller, this feeling stays (i have held it for about 10 minutes, and then got bored).
When this occurs, besides the region of optical awareness getting bigger, my depth perception changes, and becomes more sensitive. What i mean, is that everything seems to be farther away then normal, which is especially noticeable if I try to walk – it feels as though my feet are soo far away, even though I have no problem walking. By more sensitive, I mean that I feel the difference between the distances of various objects from me.
All in all, it feels very cool, and I feel very focused and tranquil – almost as if time seems to slow down, but not really. (I still feel 1 second per second, but it seems that if need be, I would be able to act and react faster). I find that it would be very interesting to play games or sports using this mode of vision/mental state, and would like to know more about it.
Is there any name for it?
Has anyone else felt this way?
Is it possible to control, sustain, and etc, for any period of time.
And any other information would by nice.
The closest thing i found was objective vertigo;
from wiki:
"The dolly zoom is commonly used by filmmakers to represent the sensation of vertigo, a "falling away from oneself feeling", feeling of unreality"
Not very similiar to dolly zooming….but "falling away from oneself feeling" seems to get pretty close.
its not a problem, and i don’t feel bad at all when it happens. My perception is perfectly fine, if not well above average – i play racquetball, ping pong, pool, tennis, and have no problems with perception.
I haven’t taken, nor will ever take non medical drugs.
and my peripheral vision isn’t changing…since this effect has been observed by me many years already, and it occurs, and then goes away. Everything returns to normal.
I’m just interested in finding out more about it so that perhaps I can learn what exactly causes it and if I can turn it on and off at will.
Sorry, but i’m not looking for anything philosophic, or religious, or spiritual in any matter. I’m looking for either a biological explanation, or a psychological explanation.
i repeat, its not a problem. My vision is 20/20
I actually want to learn to control it, be able to turn it on and off and to varying degrees at will. Also, perhaps learn to push it the other way (make things appear closer)
Only found about 5 people that share this.

I never said that it was a problem, I just said this thing happens to me – I can even now control it more or less to turn it on. I am just wondering if I can find more information on the subject
I am a landscape company owner, I am 19 years old. I have not even started on my college education yet, I planned to take (2) years off after high school until I start. I plan on taking all distant learning classes, probably only 9-12 credit hours per semester as I work about 50 hours a week on average.
Last year I had 5 full time employees – servicing over 100 accounts each week (mowing-which is your bread and butter, consistent–landscaping is your gamble)
Last year was the first time I had employees, the spring of 2008 I was still in high school so unfortunately yes I had to earn respect of some of my employees, some were 23 last year in college and they have a senior in high school telling them what to do, but I quickly overcame that when they realized I was not here to play around. The first impression I give anyone they believe I am in my mid-twenties… quite mature for my age.
Last year, I did have A LOT of low paying accounts, mainly from when I first started the business–all under the table and at 16 years old /hr is great money with no living expenses, as you get older and purchase a home and have real bills and your business is now an actual professional company, you can’t charge that half price like before. Therefore this year, I booted out 90% of all low/crappy accounts, booted out all employees and decided this year to take two steps backwards and start over with expansion but with the good accounts as when you have employees you see no income coming in from those low accounts because they take the whole service charge up in payroll and I just saw my time and effort being uncompensated.
I wanted to take this year with work and have trial and error, get a set system, study the year and changes I can make for when I have employees, the hardest thing to do as a new business is be experiencing severe trial and error on policies and trying to enforce them on employees you have let do the opposite. So I did not advertisement this year, no expansion planning just wanted to work, not try and be greedy by doing this but I need to keep my personal self out of debt so kind of take in the profits and build a good personal and business cushion financially.
Here’s the thing… next fall or maybe start early this spring, I plan on starting my college classes. with even 6-12 credit hours/semester I plan 2-4 hours a night of study time. I have a very professional business knowledge in my field, I have studied better professional practices of marketing clients, and I believe I can really get this thing going in a professional manner. As a (1) man crew right now, I now have the equipment and assets that can operate a 3-4 man crew easily, and I am paying those expenses off just me right now and I am still getting a check, so the more accounts I add, a couple more employees it will be more profit, as right now I have about a 35%-50% expense rate because I am paying for enough equipment to operate more men.
What I am really getting at here is right now with no expansion doing the work myself I am flexible, I can change my schedule really about anytime and everything still gets done to accomodate if I have something personally I have to do, run dog to groomers, weekday haircut etc. when you have employees you basically work the same operating hours as them, you have to be at work at 7, as being solo you have a 10 hour day, say 7-5 and I feel like sleeping in an extra hour so I work 9-7.
Ultimately I want advice on – - a) expand company take just 1 or 2 college classes online so I am getting some of it done even in grandpa turtle steps and expand the company
OR
B) Do not look for expansion with the company at this time, take on a little more school to have it done so when I am actually in my early to mid twenties I will have my bachelors and don’t have to worry about it anymore..
Sometimes, when I am talking to someone – usually when I am being lectured – the person seems to look fine until something strange begins to happen; The person seems to get smaller and smaller – or more precisely, it seems as though my field of optical awareness (which is usually something like 5-10 degrees in a circle in the direction you look at) gets much larger, effectively making the person seem smaller by making him/her take up a smaller fraction of the field.
Once this happens, if I ignore it, it goes away within a few minutes, but if I pay attention to it, by concentrating on how small things look, and visualizing them becoming smaller, this feeling stays (i have held it for about 10 minutes, and then got bored).
When this occurs, besides the region of optical awareness getting bigger, my depth perception changes, and becomes more sensitive. What i mean, is that everything seems to be farther away then normal, which is especially noticeable if I try to walk – it feels as though my feet are soo far away, even though I have no problem walking. By more sensitive, I mean that I feel the difference between the distances of various objects from me.
All in all, it feels very cool, and I feel very focused and tranquil – almost as if time seems to slow down, but not really. (I still feel 1 second per second, but it seems that if need be, I would be able to act and react faster). I find that it would be very interesting to play games or sports using this mode of vision/mental state, and would like to know more about it.
Is there any name for it?
Has anyone else felt this way?
Is it possible to control, sustain, and etc, for any period of time.
And any other information would by nice.
The closest thing i found was objective vertigo;
from wiki:
"The dolly zoom is commonly used by filmmakers to represent the sensation of vertigo, a "falling away from oneself feeling", feeling of unreality"
Not very similiar to dolly zooming….but "falling away from oneself feeling" seems to get pretty close.
its not a problem, and i don’t feel bad at all when it happens. My perception is perfectly fine, if not well above average – i play racquetball, ping pong, pool, tennis, and have no problems with perception.
I haven’t taken, nor will ever take non medical drugs.
and my peripheral vision isn’t changing…since this effect has been observed by me many years already, and it occurs, and then goes away. Everything returns to normal.
I’m just interested in finding out more about it so that perhaps I can learn what exactly causes it and if I can turn it on and off at will.
Sorry, but i’m not looking for anything philosophic, or religious, or spiritual in any matter. I’m looking for either a biological explanation, or a psychological explanation.
i repeat, its not a problem. My vision is 20/20
I actually want to learn to control it, be able to turn it on and off and to varying degrees at will. Also, perhaps learn to push it the other way (make things appear closer)
Only found about 5 people that share this.

I know I keep asking this question – I am not trying to spam Ya
Hi I am hoping someone can help me for I am in desperate need of advice. I got my high school diploma from John Adams High School , which is a school online. I have been trying to get into an online college and they won’t accept me because they say i need to go and get my GED because the diploma I have is no good. The colleges state that my diploma is more for students that are distant learning and there for they can not accept it even if it is an accredited school…So I guess what i am asking is if anyone knows who would accept my high school diploma…any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
