It's almost time for my 1st appt with a psychiatrist, and i'm looking forward to it, to be able to explain my problems to someone that actually takes it seriously unlike my mum who just gets annoyed at all my strange ways and tells me to 'snap out of it' :/ She doesnt understand that i cannot help it, that it's in my head 24/7.
I initially went to the doctors way back in march, ...

How can I deal with my family that thinks my problems have been brought on by therapy? Or the ones who think I am overeacting, trying to get attention, or "acting like a child" on purpose? (I'm sorry but nobody forgets how to cut their food on purpose).

My mom goes into these long rants about how I need to make sure I stay from "psychotropic drugs"(she says it like it's a bad word) because ...

Is it ever completely cured? I am asking because I just started therapy in March and although I am not sunk in a horrible depressive episode anymore like I was for a solid month, other things get worse, you know? Like, I started to have visual hallucinations in addition to auditory, and a lot of the auditory were NOT inside my head. Like I actually thought I heard them and that they were real. Anyone ...

We all accept that when someone is attacked and sexually assaulted by a stranger while out on the street, it is called rape, and that it is wrong and a crime, bu, often when a man rapes his partner or spouse it is not seen as a crime, or even described as rape.

Yet, funnily enough, this kind makes up around 54% of all cases!

The media highlights preconceptions that women ‘cry rape’! That women ...

I've recently been to a psychologist after feeling lots of anxiety in social situations. I thought at first it was Social Anxiety Disorder, but my GP and psychologist think that's a result of something else I have. They both suggested Aspergers but I don't think that's right. After reading some profiles about SPD, it seems to match me a lot better.

I don't desire a social life at all. When I'm forced into these social ...

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum.
I've been diagnosed with BPD and am in a lot of trouble right now.
I have a very important decision to make within this week (it involves school/choice of programs, etc.), but I'm unable to decide what to do. I tried making a decision last month but slipped and went back to what I'd been doing previously. I need to decide this week, but the problem is my ...

my fiance and I used to have a lot of sex - several times a day in fact. I have also DID (possibly DDNOS?).

About 4 years ago (before we knew my diagnoses) my fiance and I were in a really stressful and rough time and fighting all the time, and that's when my child ...
