Who is Happyshink?
Happyshrink is a Certified Psychiatric Social Worker who has over 25 years of experience helping people with all kinds of problems. (or 25 years of giving worthless advice to clueless people-take your pick) He has been in various chat rooms on the internet over the past eight years answering questions, listening and occasionally imparting words of wisdom. He's the Internet's answer to Dr.Katz (That cartoon guy on Comedy Central) only with much more personality and charm! (He has about the same amount of hair but does a better job covering his bald head.)
Why is he here?
Why not? What's YOUR problem? (I hate when people get me defensive.) Everybody's gotta be someplace! His purpose is to give friendly advice and answer ANY question you might have for him! He does not claim to be right all the time! Hey; the advice is FREE and worth every penny!!! Happy warns all visitors to this website that this is NOT meant to be THERAPY and is meant for entertainment purposes such as Dear Abby, Dr. Bernard Meltzer, and the Psychic Friends Hotline. (ONLY MUCH MUCH MORE ENTERTAINING...I hope.)
What will Happy do with your questions?
He will post them on the Web page of course! You can request to be listed as anonymous or leave a pseudonym. All email addresses will be kept confidential. Happy will try and answer every REASONABLE question posed to him and even a few unreasonable ones!
What kinds of questions should I ask?
Just about any kind of question. General information, advice, philosophical ideas, you name it! When you have as much hot air inside you as happy does, you appreciate any opportunity to get it out! Happy does have one particular field of interest that he feels is desperately needed: CyberPsychology! Over the past two years that happy has surfed the internet, he has seen both the good and bad psychological effects that cyberspace can bring into one's life. He has observed marriages crumble, relationships begin and become real, friendships gained, friendships lost, love and compassion, hatred and bitterness, hope, joy, sorrow and even mourning. Happy has seen this make believe world of cyberspace become very very real. This brave new world that many of us have ventured into may be better off with little or no government intervention, but it could use some rules for survival. If the internet is affecting your life (and happy bets it does) you can talk about it right here!
How do I ask a question?
Just Click here and ask away! Please do not use profanities so I don't have to censor your correspondence!!
How do I receive an answer?
Below is the link to questions and answers posed to Ask Happyshrink. I will try and keep the postings current and update every day! In addition, don't miss the Thought of the Day and the Cartoon of the Week! Archives of old Letters to Happyshrink are also accessible.
Can I actually speak to Happyshrink online??
Currently, Happy doesn't have a weekly chat group, but may from time to time announce a group on IRC Chat.
If you have any ideas or requests about what things you would like to see on this Web page please feel free to make suggestions. Happy knows the kumbaya song that used to play when you accessed his webpage was really obnoxious! It was recorded by a Rabbi on LSD! That's why Happy liked it so much. But it is now off the website due to so many nasty comments and letters! If you really want that stupid song back on the web page or have any other suggestions click below:
