I'm not 20-30 I'm only 19 but, I'm sure that people out there will criticize me. Though lately, I'm having trouble to control myself. This isn't new, I've always had anger-problems. I'm pretty good at controlling myself, but lately it's been a problem. I find myself getting mad at things that are so insignificant it's troubling. Throughout my life I've found ways to "cool" myself. First it was video games, than cigarettes, I've went as ...

Hello everyone,
Firstly let me appologise for my lack of posts. It has taken me a long time to feel ok with this site and to accept I really do have something going on for me. I have posted here before, but a while ago now, though I do hope to keep up from now on!
I am having psychotherapy for DID and I am about a year into treatment for this problem. I have ...

This is something i realized a few years ago.

As far as i can remember i have always been subconciously drawn towards dark movies.
Movies taking place within a bleak and depressive environment.
And especially movies with isolation as one of the main themes.

Some of my favourite movies, which i watch often:

The Thing
Alien
The Shining
Misery
Paha Maa (frozen land)
Kjærlighetens kjøtere (zero kelvin)

These are all really good movies, which makes ...

Guys, I cannot say enough what a relief it was to find this forum. I began a relationship with young woman I believe has HPD approximately 6 months ago. I have never been so confused by a woman. Her behavior towards other men was shocking to me, and before long, I found myself typing keywords into search engines just to get a grip of what was wrong with her. When I stumbled upon HPD, it ...

I have thought and thought about it, and I can't remember ever meeting anyone else with Asperger's. I can't even think of anyone remotely similar to me in terms of... "quirkiness" is the word I will go for. A friend has agreed that she has never met anyone quite like me. (How nice to now know this is not the case!)

So then I picture 20 of me in a room together and it sounds ...

I wasn't sure where to post this at first. I have clinical depression, I have bipolar disorder, and I have serious anger management issues. Several of my therapists in the past have also felt that I may have Aspergers -- my latest one disagreed with that. Anyway, there's a lot that's wrong with me. But the fact is, everything that plagues me in my life, revolves around one issue. So I'm just going to let ...

Ok, first: Since I recently just self-diagnosed and started posting, I am worried you all may think I could be a hypochondriac or suffering from Psych 101 Syndrome. But this definitely it. Do you guys believe me or should I elaborate on why?

Second: This last week has been weird. I can't concentrate on anything. Every five minutes I see myself in this context and go "oh, thats Asperger's, huh" and then I usually chuckle. ...

My eight year old son was recently diagnosed with TS. While he has several motor and vocal tics, the most difficult and stressful thing we are having to deal with as a family are these 'Rage Storms' (not our label, though perfect to describe what happens).

They come out of the blue, usually for something so trifling that you can't believe it could cause such intense emotions; not allowing him to have a toy he ...

Help.

I know I am dissociative. I have known this for sometime as when I was in therapy, when I felt threatened, I would dissociate. For me dissociate means feel really small and far away, not become another personality.

What is getting at me tonight is an experience I had today. I am seeing a new therapist and today we had our first session of EMDR.
What is freaky is, is that about 3 or ...

Hello everyone, my name is Mike and I'm new here. It was only a few days ago that I recognized I have many schizoid symptoms and a lot of what is being discussed here seems very accurate to me. To begin with, I am currently 22 and I have just today finished college. I feel so strange when people congratulate me on it, as if it were something that is uncommon or especially prestigious, but ...
