Hey, so, since I didn't get any responses on my last post, I thought maybe I would post again. Like I said, I've never been officially diagnosed with OCD (of course, I've never sought a professional diagnosis out), and I'm terrified I might be a real pedophile.

Now, while I find the inside of vaginas gross, I still get nervous about the ones belonging to little girls (mostly 3 to 6 years old, blonde hair), ...

Hello, I was wondering what could therapy change, to what degree, and does it change only the way you view the world or can it actually change something about yourself?

mostly wondering if i could become hetrosexual, if i can actually care about things more?
and generally speaking what did your therapy change for you?

I'm on a low dose Zoloft + Lamictal for Bipolar 2/bipolar depression. I have a friend traveling a long distance to celebrate our big birthdays. She wants to spend one day visiting wineries. She's not a partier but enjoys wine very much. My pdoc firmly told me no more than 1 glass for the special occasion.

I've only drank once in the last few years. I had one glass of champagne (I'm guessing 4oz) and ...

This post is my attempt at finding at least something I could hold on to to try and help my aunt with whom something very wrong and addiction-like has obviosly been happening during the past months and/or years.

Hi all

It saddens me to be on here but not sure what to do or where else to turn to.

I will try and keep my story as brief as possible as i know all our stories have been going on for years and can be mentally draining for us all.

I never questioned my sexuality until i was probably about 18/19- i was a healthy young man well into fitness/football just enjoying a ...

Hello,

I am coming out of a 3 month mild depressive phase, I have been hypomanic 6 days straight with little rest or sleep while exercising, cleaning, or just being hyperactive all day. BUT, I’m feeling very emotionally and physically dissociative the whole time. Like my mind is blank, I “feel” emotionally flat except for occasional 1-3 second bursts that manage to break through rarely, my body is far away and physical sensation is vague ...

How to get out of it ?
Makes no sense but must have a purpose
