Just curious, anyone here with specific phobias, does your phobia increasingly get worse, or does it seem to get better gradually? Or some get better and some worse, if you have a few? Or does it depend on when you first got the phobia e.g. as a child compared to as an adult? Or does it stay fairly constant throughout your life, depending, perhaps, on how often you're exposed to the specific object/situation (or other ...

Hey, I dunno if this is the right place to post this or if it's a weird question, but anyway...

So there's something that happened today and also happens other times that confuses me. Today I was talking to my closest friend, as I do often, and I tell him about my problems sometimes (and he doesn't really get it), but that's not important at the moment, because the problem is...

For example, today I ...

To all -

What is your type of speech, is it slow and monotone, totally normal, erratic (ie slow then fast), mumbled, quiet, incomprehensible, quick, interested/engaging, mininmalistic etc or whatever.

My speech is normally quite slow and quiet, but sometimes if the topic is right, i can control myself i start to talk fast and merge words into one and mix up sentences so the meaning is lost to all but me, i used to ...

Hi,

my boyfriend already warned me that he has depressive episodes and now it seems he's slipping into one right now. I don't know a lot about depression - my brother is depressive, but he has always pushed me and the other family members away when it was worst and since i lived far from him, i never really learned what coping involves. My boyfriend made it very clear that should it happen that he ...

How much do you depend on music in your day-to-day life? And what kind of music: genre, making it or listening to it, in any particular situation?

Oh, and is there any one song, or album, that you've listened to and thought "this is exactly how I feel"?

Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I thought of it and so had to ask.

And, if you can, explain why it means so much...

Sometimes I wonder if I am just scared of males in general. In regular situations with females, I don't want to talk to them and I will go out of my way to try and avoid them. But with males, I get this scared feeling and then will go way out of my way to avoid them. I just don't want to be alone forever and I don't see myself being a lesbian either. ...

I thoroughly embarrassed myself today because of my avpd instincts. I keep trying to self talk my way out of avpd but its a part of me that will never fully escape.

So I'm a junior in college. Freshman year I had a two or three night stand with this guy who had a girlfriend out of state. At the time, he and I were barely friends but we had mutual friends so we saw ...

4) About to get in some sort of accident, a non life threatening one (if any of you have been in car accidents, or severly injured ...
