Psychology and Mental Health Forum

Hi, my name's Andrew and I'm 19 years old. I have some problems that have been around for a long time but I've never been willing to admit to them. I know people here can relate to some of it and hopefully I can get some advice from you.

I think my main issue is with social anxiety. I feel very uncomfortable in groups of people or with people I don't know well. I have ...

I seem to remember reading/hearing about an odd, ambiguous olfactory sensation accompanying a disorder sometimes. For some reason I'm thinking it was schizophrenia, which I have a history in my family.

I've been having these really odd smell incidents lately. Hard to explain, like a deja vu, but very real.

can someone point me in the right direction?

Hi All,

Id like to start off by saying that Im not sure if Im posting in the right place. I just got an urge to come to a forum like this and post my ideas before I totally forgot them altogether. Maybe someone could kindly point me to the right topic area after reading my post.

I often feel a little disassociated from other people, not just that I dont get along with them ...

Hello everyone. I am...I don't know exactly where I fit in, let me describe myself. I have seen several different doctors and have been given a different diagnosis by each. PTSD with depression, Schizoaffective disorder, and Manic depression. All shots in the dark really. My problem is a non-bizzare, monothematic, somatic delusion. Like some delusions it was born out of an experience I had some years ago-this experience was terrifying and I will avoid putting ...

I think l've been trying to avoid how anxious l get, but l no longer think l can.
Problem is, l don't know what l've got as it were. First l read all info on Social Anxiety sites, and joined a forum - but l think l'm different from the people l've chatted to there. They seem to be really keen to work and meet people, and l'm not sure l am at all.

I ...

This episode has been going on for at least 3 years.

My friend just sent me pictures of her sister's house (she took them while her sister was out of town).....it's unbelievable. She has piles and piles of stuff and garbage on every single surface, up to 4 feet deep in some areas. The floor is not visible due to trash. Furniture, beds and counters are not visible except for 1 lounge chair that she ...

I've always felt to need to adjust even the smallest objects until they feel "right" to me. I'll put, say, a glass down on a table, turn to leave, and then immediately pick it up and put it down again or push it slightly to the left. I'll start to leave but yet again feel uncomfortable with the way I put the glass down. If I don't manage to stop myself I feel like I ...

Nothing ever changes,

I don't want to hurt anyone around me but it's killing me existing.

I've had a hard 5 years made harder by isolating my problems from everyone but it's habit.

Like the title says, this is mostly a rant brought on by boredom. Feel free to reply, post related feelings, or whatever.

On good days, I’m just torpid. Sure, I have the occasional bouts of euphoria (lasting for a day or two, maybe even a week), but my general attitude towards life can be summed up with a detached “eh.” On bad days, I just want to disappear. I couldn’t really tell you the proportion ...

I don't know if this is an actual disorder, but here it goes... I always thought I had social anxiety, but even if I'm trying to have a conversation with someone I'm comfortable around, I just lose my flow of thought. I can never come up with something witty to say and I can't add any real substance to a conversation. I see people on these forums coming up with 7 paragraph responses, and I ...
