News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

It's almost 5 years to the day I stumbled upon the description of AvPD and found it a perfect fit for me. Since then, I've been trying to improve my social skills and develop a somewhat thicker skin, and so far I think it's been working reasonably well. Some people have turned out to be really good friends, once I took that leap of faith, so yay for that. But there's still one thing that ...

Unreal, I would like to thank you very much for all the information you shared with us. That helped me immensely in my self development, and hope others as well.
I also would like to note that you have made a huge step in your personal development, and I believe that in your life that would help you a lot. You are now at the beginning of your adult life, and you can choose any ...

I seriously feel like I'm going to vomit. I knew this day would come, 'cause that's what happens when someone joins the military. Ha... I just didn't think I'd feel so sick about it. His swear in is in an hour.... then he leaves for basic training. I really really feel sick... I dunno if it's because he's leaving or if it's something else. I don't like this nausea though... I don't want the last ...

I remember when we were in love, why does it fade? It always does. And if I say I'm missing you? Will you come back or will you say were already through? :cry:

I've been seeing a female shrink and I think she is trying to come on to me. It may be in my head, but I really dont think so. Before you dismiss my claims, what are some signs that a female psychologist might be coming on to a male client? How would she do it without being obvious? Thanks.

I dont want to go into details but I think my psychologist is coming on to me. Nothing blatant, but I think she is doing it in a "sneaky" way if you understand what I mean. Like trying to get me to think about her sexually, etc.

Everyone thinks I'm crazy for thinking it and mabye I am, but what would be some signs a female psychologist is hitting on a male client? Please dont ...

For me, I'm undiagnosed so I can't be sure exactly what I have, but for me some "aha" moments when I realized that my thinking was different than others.

I remember one time being with this person who knew me well, and they started laughing. I wanted to know why, and they just said it was funny to watch how I interacted with people. Which then led to a discussion on being nice and I ...

not including myself thats a given. Stupid sayings, case in point "you cant love someone unless you love yourself first". Hear it so much and every time i do i want to club a baby seal. Just annoys the $#%^ out of me when i read these cliched words of wisdom that others love to throw around.

Hi everyone, honestly Im doing pretty bad tonight.

I was misdiagnosed with psyhcotic depression and oppositional defiant disorder as a young teen, and was properly diagnosed as bipolar, with social anxiety and mild OCD about two years ago. It's been a bumpy road. I can't keep a job, and am occasionally living in my car to avoid the norm. Im divorced after three years, that produced two beautiful children... one is in heaven and the ...
