I had this phobia where I couldn't stand to be around people and I was scared of the teachers so every now and then I'd stay at home and tell my mother I wasn't feeling to good and she'd let me stay. After a while, I just quit and I started homeschooling. At first, I was hiding from everyone {except my family}. I mean if anyone came to ...

Hi, my name is Tom.

I'm 16, and I just recently about 6 months ago left school to go and work full time as a chef.

I had been working a few jobs as an apprentice and then I obtained a job at a major seafood restaurant. One night my arm was pierced by a spike from a raw prawn...not knowing that I was allergic to prawns...

About 4 hours later I had palpitations (rapid ...

Life sucks when you think your gonna die any minute. I suffer from severe Hypochondriasis. I have over 10,000 dollers in hospital bills because I think Im dying.

Staring out the window as the sun begins to set beyond the horizon
And the traffic below me passes by without a sound
From where I am
Locked away
In here I am
Where I have to stay
For the first time

Some people talking
Some people laughing to themselves
The days are hell
Your minds a cell
Up here on Ward 6

Well my eyes are so full of tears that I can't even ...

HELLO! I am trying to do some research on the topics of schizoaffective disorder and postpartum depression/psychosis. The reason for my interest is personal. I myself have suffered from depression/suicidal thoughts since I was a young girl. At 17 I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Then that diagnosis was changed to major depression with psychotic features at a later date. I abused alcohol for several years as a teen/young adult and received treatment at a live-in ...

Short but sweet.....has anyone EVER gotten through, around, or past, this? Has anyone with NPD EVER learned to live a healthy life with healthy relationships?????? I'm sure my husband has this, and I need to know if there is hope. I am in the process of deciding whether or not to continue with my relationship. If there is hope, I will stick it out. If there is little to none, I want out.
