Hey all, pretty new to the site. Was just hoping to get some feedback on the situation.

I have been with my boyfriend for about 14 months, but we were good friends for about 4 or 5 years before we started dating. With that said, everything started out smoothly and we always got along great. For the past 6 months, however, there have been intervals of rockyness as well as intervals of things being fine. ...

I'm writing this because i'm terribly confused.

Once upon a time I had a dream. In the dream aliens, or some kind of creatures, had tied me to a chair. Every time I would have a thought they would destroy the thought with a weird helmet they had put on my head. It was a strange sensation. Well, then i woke up and the feeling persisted. Anytime a thought would arise, it would disappear before ...

When I made this account my first intent was to get advice for my sister. Now I think it's me that needs the help. I'm a freshman in college and 3 months ago you couldn't have found a much happier kid. I had friends, flirtations, decent family relationships, a 3.74 GPA, and even a best friend in my sister who has Down Syndrome. Now I can't believe what my life has turned into.My sister developed ...

EDIT: way too much information

What I really wanted to know is whether it was my brain glitching or just the usual "daddy didn't hug me enough" crap. But nvm, I got this

Hi.
I’m Sophie, 20 and a newbie to this forum. I registered because I currently have no one to talk to about my problems and am considering talking to a professional.

Since I remember, I’ve always been depressive and very self conscious. At the age of 8 I realized for the first time I was fat. When I was 14 or 15, I suffered from extremely severe suicidal thoughts and planned everything out. At that ...

So, this is about me & my struggles.

I warn you all, this will be triggering, and very long.

My name is Sarah(sarey as a nickname), & I'm 17 years old, & single.

I have eating disorders (a mixture of binge eating disorder, bulimia and anorexia), these have affected me for many years now, I am in recovery but I still continue to slip up and struggle day to day with them.
Right now, I'm ...

So, here's my dilemma, and has always been, with getting help.

For example, I over exaggerate things. I do it because I think it's funny. If I walk into a shrinks office, I'd say "Hey, I'm crazy, I want to kill myself, and my mother, help me." No, I don't want to harm myself, or another, but, it would be funny to say that.

To others it would be sick, to me, it's funny. So, ...

I really have a hard time understand what empathy really is, means. Some days i belive i have it. Some days i think i lack it. My general day to day idea is that empathy is a consept that sounds nice to the human brain but dosent really exist in the real world.
I can understand why some people cry, feel hurt or whatever but i dont feel their emotions. I always(throughout my teenage years ...

Hello- I hope this is the right place to post this. I am really in need of help. The short of it is, I am trying to decide whether I need to admit myself to a psych ward. I am, and have been for the past two months, extremely dissociated and depressed.

Specifically, I cannot get out of bed or leave my house for the most part- I've been making it to therapy three times ...

Hello. Hi. I am a grown woman and have been having some problems for all my life. I have never been diagnosed with anything. I have gone to therapy a couple of times in my life, but seems it has been hard to pinpoint what is the matter with me.
If anybody here could tell me then I would appreciate it. I am going to go see a therapist but have to wait for months ...
