CONTEXT:

Neuronal dysfunction in cerebral cortex ...

I have known or met many people with bipolar disorder and in each case it seems that they had suffered some type of childhood trauma. Is this the issue in all cases of bipolar disorder or are there biochemical factors involved which are entirely unrelated to any trauma.

from a BDP's point of view, what resonates with yous?
i'm trying to get a handle on what being in your own BDP world feels like. (like, i'm pretty isolated in my own BDP world, n now i've been diagnosed, i want something i can relate to.)
Cheers

I can't find any similar experiences to mine. Most are cases that started in childhood. My father has never done this before and I can't understand why this has happened now. I had a very nastly split from my boyfriend after months of mental abuse which had me at the lowest point of my life. I had lost a stone in weight within the space of a week, was drinking heavily and crying all the ...

Posted this on the anger management board, but no one responded and it didn't really mesh with anyone else's concerns, so I thought I'd post it here.

I guess I'd describe myself as a schizoid type personality, but I've never been to a psychiatrist, so who knows. I'm 17, but please don't write my problems off as "teenage hormones" (even if they are, how exactly does that help me now?) I almost physically can't show ...

Hi,

We just did a google search for DID forums and landed here. We basically just need to be around those who understand. We're really at a place in our life that we haven't been before. It's wonderful and scary and everything in between all at the same time.

In March 2011, our therapist recommended that we take some time off work (3 months). That time off has turned permanent. We went to our disability ...

I have been married for just over twenty years to a woman I suspect may have NPD. My nurse sister-in-law introduced me to the idea after my wife told me she wanted a divorce. We have three children together (18F, 15M, 11F). I have been very concerned about her behaviour since she expressed her desire for the divorce partly because of her complete lack of emotion when discussing the effects this will have on the ...

I kind of don't know where to start with this. It's been a long time since I last posted here.

A few months ago, I went to a very unorthodox treatment facility a thousand miles away. The program was supposed to be 9 months to a year, but they ended up ending the program because they thought I was a "bad fit," despite promising they would NOT do that. So I end up going back ...

Hi all,

Just wanted to share something that's new to me and that I don't quite know how to handle.
I have had POCD for years now. But last night I had some weird dreams. Throughout, I was very aroused (excuse the graphic nature of this!)...it was almost like a 'sex'dream. I remember at one point there being a lot of little girls round for some reason, and I ended up 'letting go' and enjoying ...
