derrick is more interesting, and he's no troll, so he's not (....)

etc.
'fraid Mr derrick needs some TLC there & now :roll: (butthurt without a cause) - they're trying to tend their own young herd, in their own way. Good cause & all that - any volunteers?

I've just joined this forum and have no idea how to use it - it all looks too complicated with the 'threads' etc.
I'm ...

I have been diagnosed with Conversion DIsorder but my symptoms present more like pain disorder. I had a traumatic event last summer and 6 months later I suddenly got a burning pain in my sacrum/tailbone. I can't work anymore. Over 4 1/2 months many tests (all negative) I have burning glute muscles and stiff, painful muscles in my right leg and arm. I have seen many doctors and one holistic pain doc does not think ...

Hi guys. Sorry I've been kind of m.i.a. for a while - as I said when I last posted, my life has been at a great turning point and I just haven't had the time. I also chose to take a break from here - almost unconsciously - to see if it had any effect, but now I find myself missing your support. ;__;

I know this disorder will never go away completely. I just don't see how it's possible to let go of the obsession when I have reminders everywhere I go.

When I hear other girls talk about clothes sizes I have to get up and leave immediately or else I'm triggered to go throw up what I just ate. If I'm out to lunch and choose NOT to order a salad like every other weight conscious ...

When I grew up...I want to be a cult leader or a woman of questionable morals on television! I'm not joking.

I would love to be 5 years old again and do everything over. I didn't have much of a childhood. I was physically abused by a grandparent from ages 3-8. I told my parents.. I guess they didn't believe me because it continued. I never got to do many kid things. I didn't play with any other children. I was with my parents in adult situations most of the time. Still to this day, I ...

Why do you use the silent treatment? Why do you push others away and sometimes ignore them for days, weeks, months, years? I know we sometimes do it because we're afraid and can't handle the emotions but I wonder if we also do it as a way to gain more attention from the person we're ignoring.

I'm sorry but it's really hard for me to feel sorry for them sometimes.

Like try living with a mental illness day in and out. Knowing there is a huge chance you'll never be cured. It's like having cancer except there isn't really an end at sight.

Being born in a third world country with no one to take care of you. Never seeing your mothers face or barely being feed or held for the ...
