For those of you in therapy, how often do you go, and how long are your sessions? We have a wonderful therapist, but feel like there is just not enough time in sessions to make any progress....we have been reading some great articles on this, but there are mixed opinions. Any thoughts?

I have always had problems with food, from binging to starving, but lately I can't make myself eat at all. I haven't eaten a bite in 8 weeks. I chew food but for some reason I can't make myself swallow it. I weigh my self several times a day. I have lost well over 3 stone and feel terrible. I often take large quantities of laxitives if I don't see a change in the scales ...

I seem to be making excellent progress in the recovery department. My psychiatrist said he'd see me in a month which can only mean I'm doing well. My social work counselor said the same thing. My only issues now are anxiety and issues with my family. There's a 50% chance that I'm not schizophrenic, which means maybe I'm just bipolar with psychotic symptoms, my diagnosis. However, there's a 50% chance that I am developing schizophrenia ...

I've never talked about this with anyone. Maybe it's the sense of anonymity I will have from this post. To start, I'd just like to say I have no memories from before the age of 4, so I can't comment at all as to what happened then. But from the age of 4-7 I was molested by my sister who was 6 years 9 mos older than me. Also on several occasions I was molested ...

I'm going through an episode of mania. It started about a month ago due to withdrawal of abilify. I was pronounced hypomanic by a Pdoc and Pnurse, then later manic by another psych. Then last week I saw a different psych who was terrible and reduced me to tears straight away. As I cried through the appt (due to him being a bully and me being tired and also being slightly mixed I suppose) and ...

i went back to my friends house last night and his friend came too, i went into his bedroom and did intend on having sex with him but then he got really rough with me and called me a dirty bitch and put his hands around my throat, he then started to put my hands behind my back and have rough sex with me, i told him he was being too rough but he just ...

My son is six and is very social (inappropriately so). His biggest issues are that he doesn't speak and doesn't really know how to communicate verbally, as well as being hyperactive. Otherwise, he seems almost like your typical kid. Better at music than most, but still. He CAN speak and will read (he taught himself) and sing with no problem. He also likes to find teaching books at the book store and I've noticed that ...

Hi,
I would really appreciate any helpful input into what might be going on with me since I can not seem to figure it out on my own.
First of all I am quite introverted and I am usually quiet in social situations, I have hardly any friends and I have never had a romantic relationship. My self-esteem is ok despite this (I know I am not inferior) and I believe I can project a ...

I posted something similiar to this in the ADHD forum (but its kind of dead over there). Anyway its relevant here too. I was wondering if anyone is aware of any studies or good information about boredom.

My name is Vinko .
I am maybe the only really telepathic person in the world. You should not think that I could be Schizophrenic.
Crazy but over 80% of all telepathic experiences are the same like for Schizophrenia.

I can exchange voice, video, smell, people can move small move muscles on my body from distance and much more
and all messages from me are transmitted to big number of people so I am a ...
