HELP!</a></div><div id="b_12259" style="display: none; padding: 5px 5px 2px 15px; font-size: 0.9em; border-bottom: 1px dotted #DDDDDD;">Hi, this will be my first post on here and I really need some advice or help and I’m beyond desperate. My mother is a shoplifter, and I’m only a teenager and I’m the only one in the family that knows and I’m scared to go anywhere with her because I know she will steal items. <br /><br /> So basically since before I can remember, my Mom would steal things. Mainly it was groceries (she would get plastic reusable bags and bag everything up in an empty aisle and walk out looking like she payed) and I remember watching her do this when I was around 5 and not realizing it was stealing. I didn’t realize until i was around 7. She wouldn’t just steal groceries tho, she would steal perfume, lotion, makeup, shoes and other goods. This is where it gets a bit complicated, after doing this for years, she got caught around 2years ago and was put on house arrest, I am the only person who knows that she has ever shoplifted/ that she was on House Arrest. At the time, she told me she had a disorder and was going to seek treatment, but she never did. After she attempted a fake 2 minute apology for years of emotional distress, I sort of forgave her. I know it seems impossible but deep down inside, i wanted to believe that she just made a mistake and that everything was going to stop. And for a little bit, it did. I didn’t really see her take anything and I thought she was better, until she started again. One day we were at the store and I saw some stuff she stuffed into her purse and I couldn’t take it and ran out of the store into the car. She then came into the car after finishing shopping, and flipped out. She kept on pressing me to tell her what made we leave and sorta came off scary when she began listing off random reasons I ran out, (Did you see your crush? Did something happen on Instagram? Etc) then she got this overly confused (and sort of scary) exaggerated face and went, “is it because of ME?” I just kept on saying no to everything she said cause I didn’t know what else to say. Things have just gotten worst from there, one time I was in the store with her (cause she manipulated me to go with her I didn’t want to) and I was walking behind her and she started getting REALLY mad at me for no reason. She said “stop stalking me you weirdo” and “go find this random thing, NOW”. I just walked a few feet away and I kept my eye on her and she went into an empty aisle and shoved some stuff into her purse. When we were waking out the alarm thing went off and my heart sank but nothing happened, we just kept walking  and no one realized. In the past months or so she has appeared with new makeup and luxury soap and lotion and all this crap, and she has come home with groceries in reusable bags, meaning she stole it. Recently she noticed I was getting extremely distant from her (and I think rightfully so),and we had “a talk”. after prying for ever, I told her it was because of her taking stuff and she took a FIRM position that she hasn’t taken anything since she was on House Arrest and that she only stole stuff in the first place because she was “desperate” and didn’t have money, however that’s a straight lie. We aren’t by any means super well off, but when she started stealing my Dad had a great job and we were going on vacations to Disneyland, Las Vegas and California. Not to mention my grandparents are relatively well off and would help us out if we really were that “desperate”. Anyways, she started pathetically crying SWEARING she hadn’t done anything, but I know for a fact she has. That night I went to a friends house and she sent me an angry text saying I was going to start showing her respect “and stop treating her like a thief” BUT SHE IS ONE. Now, we are in an awkward position, and it’s extremely complicated because she’s my mom and I want to love her and sometimes we get along sort of (it sounds crazy I know) but I’m starting to come to a breaking point. Thank you so much if you’ve read all of this.<br />I’m currently crying while typing this, it probably ...<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.psychforums.com/blog/Psychology/shoplifting_mother%C7%83%C7%83_help%C7%83_c-3_u-446624_b-12259.html" class="postlink-local">[ Continued ]</a></div>');

I&#039;m so sensitive to everything and everyone and I feel things so deeply and intensely. And so quickly. I&#039;m quite moody, especially as of late, and I&#039;m very irritable. I chalked it up to the recent passing of my mother (about a month and a half ago), but it&#039;s still weird. I hate the people closest to me sometimes. Not my friends, not strangers, not acquaintances.. Only my absolute best friends, those who are truly close to me and those I truly love and care for.. I genuinely hate them at certain points. Just everything about their existence and I want to cut them out of my life sometimes. All for no reason. I&#039;ll also feel bursts of love and appreciation for them, all of which are phases and pass. <br /><br />I initially thought bipolar disorder because of the intense mood swings, but they happen so frequently; definitely not a week or longer. If I felt any single emotion for a week or longer, I would probably lose my mind. My moods change daily, but for the most part, I&#039;ve got a pretty decent disposition. I&#039;m usually really content. Ever since the lost of my mother, though, I never really know what I&#039;m going to get when I wake up. Some days are good.. Some days, however, aren&#039;t so good. <br /><br /><br />I know someone who suffers from bipolar disorder and I don&#039;t see many similarities. When she&#039;s up, she&#039;s up. She contacts all of her friends and is there for them, helping them with whatever she can, making all these plans and just seems personable. When she&#039;s down, she ignores everyone and doesn&#039;t care if you need anything from her, even just some of her time to vent to her. She becomes very selfish and cold and distant for quite a few days, if not weeks at a time. <br /><br />I&#039;m not like that. I&#039;m always there for my friends. Sometimes I don&#039;t answer because I&#039;m busy or I forget to respond, or just have nothing to say or don&#039;t feel like talking to you, but I don&#039;t drop off the face of the earth or anything like that. And I only really take out my mood swings on those closest to me by just being irritable and touchy. I also read about &quot;manic states&quot;, which I don&#039;t believe that I have any. There aren&#039;t specific times that I&#039;ll be more likely to spend money, or engage in destructive behavior, or drink/consume substances.. I drink on occasions, I don&#039;t partake in any drug usage (other than my weekly vitamin D pills lol), and I&#039;ve always spent money in the same patterns. No peaks or valleys. <br /><br /><br />I&#039;m sorry for writing so much, I just wanted to address everything that I could think of.. I don&#039;t have insurance so I can&#039;t see a professional any time soon.. And I certainly can&#039;t afford paying out of pocket.. I financially support myself now that my mom&#039;s passed and I&#039;m still in college. I understand you guys can&#039;t actually diagnose me correctly but whatever thoughts you have, feel free to share.. Maybe you went through similar things? Or maybe this is just normal for human beings? Dunno. Thanks ahead of time.</div>');

I&#039;m incredibly ashamed of it and I have no idea why I feel this way. I don&#039;t find her attractive. And I&#039;ve actually had an absolutely horrible relationship with her ever since i was 13 and I cannot stand the woman. <br />Honestly, the relationship is so horrible. I have trouble hearing her voice without getting incredibly pissed off. But recently I&#039;ve been getting so angry, that I actually become turned on. Now, the littlest things she does that used to make me so angry, now turn me on. For example, the way she handles everything so delicately, how soft her voice is...ect. ect. <br /><br />I&#039;ve been feeling this way for about 6 months and its been progressively getting worse. Now I find it invading my thoughts, and being on my mind frequently.<br />I have struggled with OCD in the past... Obsessive thoughts about things such as incest and bestiality .. but I&#039;ve never had problems with obsessive thinking AND erotic feelings.<br /><br />Please. help. I&#039;ve attempted suicide because of this, and I haven&#039;t been able to bring myself to tell my therapist or psychiatrist.<br />I have looked on some forums saying that feeling sexually attracted to a family member is more common than people realize... which makes me feel a little bit better.<br /><br />But I would like to know why on earth do I feel this way? And how can I make it go away?</div>');

We&#039;ve been together for a year and a half.  In that time, we&#039;ve had sex at least twice a week, average.  And he has been able to finish only a handful of times.  I have begged him to stop.  Tried to explain to him how awful I feel when I can&#039;t make him finish.  Nothing works.  Today, we had a big fight about it.  Because he told me, yet again, he hasn&#039;t stopped.  He tried to compare the fact that I cannot finish during sex to him not being able to.  He makes me finish every time we attempt to have sex, it isn&#039;t vaginally but it still makes us both feel good.  He was mad at me for not having the ability to finish while he is inside me.  Something I can&#039;t help, something out of my control.  He thinks that is the same despite the fact that this wouldn&#039;t even be an issue if he would just stop masturbating.  Claims that if I can&#039;t, its okay that he doesn&#039;t even though it makes me feel awful knowing he is just going to do it later.  We are getting married, planning our life together.  What if we can&#039;t have children because we can&#039;t have sex?  What if we end up resenting each other because of this?  Am I wrong or crazy to think that something has to be done?</div>');

(attractive though) but for the past few months him and I have been really talking. &amp; he told me he has ASPD which I&#039;ve now been researching a lot because I genuinely care for him and want to make sure he&#039;s like you know, okay? <br />I can&#039;t tell if he likes me or not or if we&#039;re going anywhere though? I&#039;ve expressed to him many times how I like him and he thinks its odd/weird? is that bad? He let me take his V-Card but then afterwards said it felt like it didn&#039;t even happen because he doesn&#039;t really have &quot;emotions&quot;. I&#039;m so confused, he says he likes being with me and cuddling with me and he wants to see me like every chance he can &amp; he blows up my phone when he gets on break/wakes up before I do or if I&#039;m not messaging back. he&#039;s not mean or rude, he&#039;s not addicted to drugs. the only thing about him is he acts sort of emotionless like he doesn&#039;t like expressing his feelings/getting emotional? and he doesn&#039;t like kissing either which is weird cause most guys his age (19) do you know?<br />I really am so confused and I think I&#039;m falling in love with him, he&#039;s the first guy I&#039;ve liked since my last relationship which was a year &amp; took a lot of healing time so I&#039;m afraid.. should I keep going and see where it goes without getting my hopes up? or does it sound like I should just give up..? (I rather not) but I&#039;d like to hear opinions from others with ASPD and your feelings about love.. have you ever been in love or felt strongly about someone?</div>');
