Does anyone else just like to watch animals? If I'm at a dinner with my family, instead of being active in the conversation I will just stare at my dogs playing. It's more interesting for me. Or maybe it's just more safe. I don't know.

Ok so here's a tough one. I have come across someone online who is Bipolar-II, shares tourette's with me, and is an insomniac. Lately I've noticed some recurring highs and lows (I have never been diagnosed as bipolar but highly suspect I was and overcame it), and am realizing now that it's possibly bipolar-II. That's not my concern as I know I can again overcome it, but what bothers me is this: I am having ...

I do that, but only when I'm on my own. I blame it on the thing that possesses me. I'm possessed, you see. Always was. I share my body with an evil person. he thinks I'm Jesus, but I'm not. He thinks he's here to drive me mad and ruin my plan to save the world. He shouts out foul things to make me think I am mad. It's him though. Not me.

Hi I'm new to this forum but have appreciated reading the postings. I have a question.

My mother has NPD with paranoid delusional disorder and substance abuse problems.

Title says it. I find it to be true. All the pictures of themselves - a lot of them in provocative poses, & posted on their social networking sites.

Does a husband not mind his wife ...

I just found out about schizoid personality disorder, and I'm thinking that I may have it. I know that I can't diagnose myself, etc etc, but I want to see if these symptoms fit.

When I was twelve years old, we moved halfway across the country. I left behind the few friends I had, all of my extended family, and half of my close family without a second thought. I've barely been in contact with ...

A month ago I had never heard of AS. I've always had trouble in social situations and as I got older I started putting myself in situations that would put me out of my comfort zone, chalking it all up to shyness and assuming that if I was in social situations often enough I'd get over it. So far, its failing. So this past summer I decided to go on a Study Abroad program with ...

HI you all!

(WARNING: LONG POST AHEAD)

I am new to this forum, and I self-diagnosed myself with AVPD about two years ago. So I just finished my freshman year at an elite university, and I found myself spending more time with my books than actually making friends. This past year has been a year of up and downs, because although I was involved in lot of clubs and activities, I did not form any ...
