I just got a text from the ex, been several days since we talked last. It was pretty simple. It says, I can't believe how you acted on the phone the other night.

basically I told what a piece of $#%^ I thought she was. Anyhoo, what would get it her more, no response, or telling to ###$ off?

I can't tell you how many disagreements my ex and i would have that started out feeling like a normal disagreement that quickly escalated into her raging and calling me crazy. I pretty much always was left standing there going, wtf just happened here.

Basically it would go something like this, genrally when i would question her about somethign and ask her a direct question:

Me (in a normal tone of voice): Well, if you ...

I wasn't sure where to post this question. Any reply and/or advice is much appreciated, though, thank you.

My question is: If I have a mental illness, is it impossible to be a psychologist? Like, bipolar, for instance...

I badly want to go see a psychologist. But at the same time, I'm a little scared to, because I know I'd be facing the truth. And the truth is, I've always known that I was different- that something wasn't entirely okay or normal up there, if you know what I mean.

There are a number of problems with me, I think.

In the first place, I've always hated social gatherings. Being around a certain ...

Hello, this is my first time visiting this forum. I want to briefly introduce myself. I am 30 years old and reside in Florida with my boyfriend of almost one year.

I am an only child, and throughout my childhood I dealt with losing various members of my family to illness. As I grew older, I believed that my fear of losing others stemmed from losing so many people at a young age. It ...

Had one of those for a class today. (online personal presentation).

I look at the description: Write a personal description of yourself.
/me think: The honest or the shallow, grey-scale aka "normal" version?

I quickly glance at what the others have written:
"My name is X, I live here in Y, but im originally from Z. I did work some at P back in school, and after school I had a job as a Q. ...

Hey everybody, just thought i'd introduce myself as i'm quite new. i've read some of your threads and think the support you give each other here is amazing. i'm a recovered(ish) SIer, have OCD and chronic tic disorder and just wanted say hi and that i'd like to be part of your network.

For all of you trying to recover/quit, hang on in there it can get better even if it looks like there's no ...

I have had an almost lifelong SI problem.

I've always had bad skin, worse than most people, but I make it worse.

I almost feel OCD about having acne and feel need to take care of it by digging, popping. I really feel better with a cut than the acne, but I never let them heal properly, either.

I have scars all over, my body is ruined. I feel gross and disgusting, but when I ...

My personal story is a lot like what you all have described here. It started when I was about 10-12, where I would pull from the middle of my scalp where it wasn't visible even in a ponytail. I had a huge bald spot, but I remember telling myself to just STOP, and focus on something else and I did. I ended up recovering just fine after that, throwing myself into 3 sports, being very ...
