I was recently diagnosed with Dysthymia. I actually diagnosed myself first then went to a Dr. to get it confirmed. Having read many of the post on this site I always find one common thread. Many on the post talk about how they wish they could change themselves or they wish they could change the way they think. The thing about Mood disorders (Dysthymia) is that it is not something you can think away. Your ...

Hi,
I've had a few things on my mind which have been concerning me so have come on here for some needed advice.

Lets see, I'm 25 now but I suffered abuse from a young age, threatened abandonment, emotional neglect and lots of emotional abuse in later life from my mum, esp after my mum and dad got divorced when I was 11 - we were pawns in their game.
I went to live with ...

Well, I´m Spanish, so I´ll be very happy if you could recommend me some poets in English language (From the USA, Canada, England, Australia.....), but they have to be poets with a poetry easy to understand.
Thank you in advance! Comtemporary poetry. :D

Hello people of the psychForums,

I was watching this soap opera and on came a storyline I know so well. There was this lady character engaged to be married to a really good guy. He loved her with all of his heart. He bought her a dream house for them to live in. He proposed to her and she happily accepted...

Only problem is she is having a secret affair with a guy they both know ...

Ok, so i've been thinking and i'd really love to go to a rehab or something where i can just be me. I can scream and yell and talk to people about what's happened and share with people who are the same as me.

Because i can't do that where i am at the moment. No one knows like anything and i'm expected to be normal and happy but i sometimes just want to be ...
