I have brought this up before. Those who responded didn't seem they needed or that they followed thru with calling T between sessions. This is aside from emergency calls. All my Ts take emergency calls 24-7.I used to have a T that allowed pone calls AND e-mail. MY tendencies have been to feel that if I contact my T there will be some sort of releif and validation and to clear up any miscommunications and ...

"The mood cure" is a book I just ordered I'm getting it today. The reviews some people mentioned how it recommended 5-HTP and L-Tyrosine. The reviews were great, people said they were a MUST for people with depression and anxiety, calming the mind, sleeping well.

I realize those whos issues are deeper probably wouldn't benefit as much, but I was wondering if anyone has tried these methods?
I'm look desperately for some help without the ...

I am working with a bipolar man who is now manic.

Can it help to tell him that unless he complies fully with the best psychiatric advice he will

1 - be rehospitalized

2 - his children will never allow him to see his grandchild

Also, can a manic person choose to stop manic behaviors (like obsessively visiting a public park which he wants to convert into a synagogue)?

Hi,
I'm 17 and my mother has schizophrenia. I highly doubt I have this, at least not yet, but what do I make of this? Should I be looking elsewhere for advice? I want to stop this I'm scared.

Early 2012 I had this crippling fear of shadow people and started sensing vague presences. Somehow this developed into a phobia of the gray aliens though I don't know when that turning point was. I saw ...

I'm interested to know what attracts you all. Post images of people or objects that you find visually appealing in a sexual or non-sexual way.

Remember to keep them at least reasonably family friendly (and legal).

Here are some images that I find sexually appealing:

This is Desiree. Hurts all over. Body hurting. Make him stop! Can't breathe! Hurts to breathe! Don't move or he'll git ya. Just want to disappear. Must die now! Cuz we told and now must die. All you're good for is sex. You know you like it. You need to be punished for liking it but you better like it or else I'll punish you for that too. Make it stop! How do I make ...

So I've been diagnosed with B.E.D. a couple of days ago and I'm not feeling too great about myself, eventhough I'm so relieved that it's not just my lack of restraint and that it's not just me being weak.

So now I know what's wrong with me. What do I do now? What's the first step? My life is still taken over by food, even when I'm not eating, it's still the idea of food, ...

I feel a little nervous posting but I've had enough of feeling like this so here I go..
I guess I'l l just post my experiences with binging/food. I'm a teenager and
I have very bad self esteem and confidience, I'm obsessed with my body. I'm obsessed with the size of my face (I have a very round face despite others telling me its not, but I know for a fact it is)
and I ...

I am very confused and have a lot of interlinking issues so I'd be interested to hear your opinions and advice.

I am a female in my early twenties and have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. Recently I've started questioning my sexuality. At the beginning of our relationship I had a good sex drive but now it has almost completely disappeared. The first time I ever had sex was with my current partner, ...

I've been going to camhs for about a year now and I will stop going soon, I started going due to self harm and an overdose. Last year I was feeling unsure of myself and who I am, I didn't know what emotion I was feeling, just didn't feel like me and my emotions were constantly changing. My councillor booked an appointment with a psych doctor as she thought i had depression, i have no ...
