As a way of returning a small amount to SeniorForums.com for all of the good times I've had here, I'm offering my services as a psychological counselor at no charge.

Just write down whatever concerns you, and together we'll find a solution.
 
Dear Dr Phil, I have recurring episodes of seeing things in mirrors. Sometimes I see a woman there who seems to be much older than I really look. What causes these hallucinations? Is there medication or surgery to treat this increasingly disturbing condition?

While obviously others still see me as the younger version, it is troubling that I am having these visions. What do you suggest I do?

... a new mirror doesn't work, tried that.

Hmmmm.

That's very interesting.

How does that make you feel?
 
Dear Dr Phil, I am having a similar problem in that the mirror seems to increase my weight ten fold, and yes i have tried others, do you feel this is a sign that i am demented or do you feel that mirrors in Australia are faulty, i mean to say when walking down the street and i pass a window i see a ravishing woman with a gorgeous body that's 40 years old, and that's what i firmly believe i am. I'm sure the Government are to blame, they make us vote for them then expect us to age just to get an old age pension, but i'm wise to them i just don't vote. I also like pink is that a concern, i have been told my pink barbie onesie with hot pink metallic buttons is for young girls, but i think i look hot, why don't people like me or are they jealous?
 
Thank you for bringing that point about Australian mirrors being substandard to our attention. I'm applying for a research grant into studying that immediately.

That pink thing.... just don't let me see you in it okay?

This entire thread is based upon my memories of ELIZA. She was my first real connection to online psychiatry and I wanted to invoke her memory.

She's just a simple computer program with a limited number of responses, but she provided me with hours of fun and insight as a teen.

Here's a classic version of ELIZA you can play with, and perhaps understand why my responses were so Magic 8-Ball like. :playful:

Thanks for playing!
