Whilst playing a little rough with my boyfriend, as in scratching and biting etc, he got a little carried away and cut my back with his nails. He put some blood on his finger to show me and I desperately wanted to lick it, but I resisted and we carried on. Afterwards he asked me about it and I realized that I've always had an attraction to blood, but it's taken me until now to ...

I'm sure I'm not the first person to point this out but there appear to be huge similarities between modern day schizophrenics and people who in the past were considered prophets. So is this basically where religion came from?

Kind of sad to consider that millions/billions of people could still be influenced today by the hallucinations of people who lived long ago.

I saw mr. something did and I did too and I sakked you if too

Hi Everyone,

I signed up for this forum because I need help and advice. I have been married for about 15 years and have children. For the last 10 years, I could not get on with my husband's friends. Not with his mates, but with their wives. I also find his friends particularly disgusting. They are very manipulative and approach him only to take advantage or for similar sort of business. They are not true ...

I've been thinking lately about when I *Fight* with people and the *Timing* I do is very interesting to me.

Like today is Sunday. I know I will see the ex tomorrow and I'm really nervous that it won't go my way and I'll get left.
So right now I'm sort of picking a fight with him.

The thing is I never saw this as " Pushing Away " until I sort of stepped out ...

Sorry everyone - in a moment of clarity realised there was far too much personal information in the text to identify the 'innocent' parties - even without names!

I would really appreciate any insight or observations anyone may have. So sorry this has been a major essay – it has been a lot of confusion and pain for me to get off my chest!

My therapist tells me that she's just a dog and has an underdeveloped limbic system compared to a human, but I find it very difficult to not anthropomorphize.

My mom had a lot of habits of not being nurturing, going on manic episodes, and just generally being terribly inconsistent and not instilling in me a sense that she was an authority while she was raising me. I look at Lola (my dog), and how I ...

Since Friday I had my dose of Olanzapine increased to 20mg. My brain is very foggy and I feel like a zombie which I have come to expect from these meds. However, shortly after taking Olanzapine for the past 3 nights my left leg has ached and only walking and pacing have stopped it.
Does anybody know if this is connected with Olanzapine? has anyone experienced something similar?

...but then aren't we all?!

Is it OK if I just tell my story and ask some questions? I hope it is and I really hope I get some answers.

I have always had an awareness that I am in "parts", I called them modes and I have many different modes that allowed me to function (really really well) day to day. In February/March 2010 I had a "breakdown" and ended up in the psych ...
