Hi im a 17 year old girl and although i am young i have had a lot of relationship problems. Since i was abused from the age of 9 and also things that happened when i was 14, i find it extremely hard to trust.

Ok, so I haven't been on this site for about 2 weeks. In that time I've had distributed housing



and will be continuing to live this way for another week. But, in that time I've climbed two different mountains, have camped outdoors every night/day (still work a night shift), have finished 3 books, and gone fishin' 3 times. I love being on my own! F my old roommates, I haven't lived this freely in ...

Hey everyone. I thought of something today: I have these days where I'm bursting with energy, I'm REALLY happy, life is great (!!!), I feel goofy, VERY social, and incredibly optimistic, have a TON of creative energy and ideas flowing. I've always just thought that was me being happy, but I'm doubting that. I LIKE these days and I feel so good when they happen. Could that actually be hypomania? Or is it just happiness? ...

I've been told by people that they think i'm ...

I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years and 3 months now. We're in a long distance relationship (London and Brighton... not too bad but when you're both students who work weekends it's hard to find the time and money to see each other). We started going out in March 2009 when ...

Where did your thread go, Mr. No One?
I didn't have time to click it. :­P

I've been having this issue with this bully at my school and I'm curious if anyone here has been bullied and how they've dealt with it.

I know I said I would post here more but due to the stuff I talk about in this thread I somehow don't feel qualified to comment on bipolar related threads any more.
Also not sure if this should be in the bpd forum or the bipolar forum?

This is kind of a rant but also I would appreciate some support or advice if that's ok.

Basically I learnt, about 2 weeks ago, that in ...

When you guys are in the depression phase, do you see that your social skills are affected and find it hard to speak up?

I grew up in a dysfunctional family. my father was an alcoholic and needless to say my life was like a battle zone everyday. There were alot of secrets being kept. some of them sexual. I recall sexual things towards me from two family members. When i was 15 or 16 i touched my niece inappropriately a few times. i got no sexual excitement from it at all. I don't know why i did this ...
