Everything you think you know about addiction is wrong

What really causes addiction — to everything from cocaine to smart-phones? And how can we overcome it? Johann Hari has seen our current methods fail firsthand, as he has watched loved ones struggle to manage their addictions. He started to wonder why we treat addicts the way we do — and if there might be a better way. As he shares in this deeply personal talk, his questions took him around the world, and unearthed ...

But we can give you a "vistaril", garbage that doesn't work

That's the newest thing "vistaril". Useless garbage that doesn't work.

Having an anxiety attack from hell? Here is a "visteril" stupid garbage that might be of some use to the worried well but won't even touch a real anxiety attack.

Long term benzodiazapine use was a nightmare for me, would never repeat it but now it seems these days "we can give you a "vistaril", they downright refuse to treat you even short term and ...

In a Trance for 52 years. How Did She Do it?

I have recently discovered my mother is a covert narcissist who has caused appalling damage to all of the children’s relationships. I was designated scapegoat, but cannot remember details of just how she worked her magic.
I believed that I was mentally unstable, destined for failure, unattractive and could not see a future. Everything has been an uphill struggle.
The only way I woke up is that I had a terrible workplace accident, where I ...

tw: pretty sure I sexually assaulted someone in college

I'm much older now and began therapy after years of not being able to. I was also a survivor of CSA and knowing that I harmed someone has been difficult.

Context (not to excuse behavior to explan circumstances): Toward the end of college I was at a party where I got significantly drunk and saw someone I was seeing at the time and who had made it known he reciprocated his feelings. Also, I'm a ...

Was my friend a narcissist?

I am male, 44 years old. 11 years ago my closest male friendship I had had from school ended, mostly on my account as I walked away. He later attempted to rekindle the friendship and I declined. I cut loose somewhat reluctantly, but to this day I don't feel I had a lot of choice. I'm fine with the outcome, as my life improved a lot, but since then I have often wondered whether my ...

Really in need of advice.

I'm kinda nervous about this, but here goes.

I think I abused someone I was in a relationship with when I was a teen.

I did not do anything sexual with them (we were both minors), and I did not physically hurt them. But I'm pretty sure I was abusive in other ways.

I was not very smart or mature then. I was careless with the things I said, unable to control my emotions and ...

I am concerned about a situation from the past

When I was 15 to 17 years old, I used to sniff my 7 year old sister's feet, and in order not to
hurt her, I'd let her, like, play on the phone, so I'd
so she wouldn't notice, because I had a foot fetish, I didn't have any other tendencies. I tried to get rid
from it, but it did not work out well (for help to doctors or someone
I didn't seek help ...
