He just applied for a gun and since he has no criminal record + is employed, I think he’ll get accepted. I don’t know what he’s planning to do with it, but he signed up for one after an argument between me and him. I don’t know if he’s planning to kill me or himself. I don’t know why people want to own guns anyway when they’re only killing machines. ...

Hey,

I've had this on and off for a few years now and it really is quite difficult to explain so basically sometimes after I've finish a tv show I'll have this thing for a week- to a month depending on how long it stays it for where my mind turns into a sort of picture house of scenes from that tv series and it really is intense at times.

A therapist that I was seeing with my wife for marital suggested to me that I might have ADD, based on some of the problems I told her I was facing at work. I did some research, some reading and answered a few online questionnaires, and had some discussions with my family doctor and with a local psychiatrist.

Based on those discussions and on my reading and personal research, everything points to me having ADD ...

I have a friend who just turned 30. He has a lot of social anxiety issues he's working on getting over.
In the past year he has had some health issues that need to be diagnosed via obtaining blood samples.

But he will not allow anything needle like near him, so he's never had bloodwork done.

I live too far away to be there in person for him, so I have to deal with this ...

Lately I’ve been finding lots of cuts/scratches on my body that look like self harm. On my arms, thighs, stomach, butt... basically everywhere. At first I thought I must have been scratching myself in my sleep because I had (and still have no idea how they got there) but they started appearing at the same time as my panic attacks. Is it possible I am doing this to myself while I’m having a panic attack ...

When I was around 13 I discovered I had a fetish, it’s a fetish that is pretty tame but rather uncommon, I like to see girls get wedgies, so on Instagram I found a bunch of people (male and female) anywhere from 13-20+ and some of the people posted pictures of them giving themselves wedgies. Now over the years I saved pictures to my iPod. Now as a got older I had so many pictures ...

I'm afraid that I am now a sociopath. I digged too deeply in the reality of the world and now I have seen the truth. About a week ago i started having a series of disturbing thoughts regarded the world and how it is a ###$ up place. Thoughts on random fears and thoughts that life is suffering filled my mind and I could not stop or refute them. One thing led to another and ...

Hi!

One of my major insecurities is low number of sexual partners.
It just makes me feel incapable of doing anything and usually I lie the count to be bigger than it is, cause in case I get in bed with someone I can just blame them for bad sex or usually just get wasted.

But usually when someone approaches me in a sexual way I get this feeling of anxiety that I have no ...

At the age of 17, I got my first panic attack - I felt like I was dying, I was shaking, I felt out of place, brain fog, and that I wasn't "there" At 21, same feeling but not as bad. Was doing fine throughout these years, minus the usual mild brain fog and worry/nervous. It wasn't until recently in October where I was playing a game on my cell phone and out of nowhere ...
