News of Impulse-Control Disorders

Hello, I am new here, and thought it might be helpful, if nothing else than just to get this off my chest. For the past few years I have been randomly telling lies, and it is starting to get worse. I am a normal, healthy young woman, well educated, job, etc. But I'll be with friends and just make up a story that didn't happen. Like, I'll say I saw a car accident on my ...

Hi. Ive never been on anything like this before. Its just that a couple of days ago my fiance of 2 years was exposed as a compulsive liar. I feel so stupid. I must have known but all I can guess is that I wanted to believe him?
The first 3 months of our relationship was based entirely on a lie. He told me he was a firefighter. A couple of wks later he said ...

For all you ladies out there:


How noticeable are eyelashes on a guy?


Would you date a guy with no eyelashes? In one eye? Both eyes?



I'd appreciate it if you could answer these questions for me, I'm a guy and have suffered with Trich for years and years, eventually affecting my self-esteem more and more. But you know the story, i'd just appreciate it if these questions were answered by some of you lovely ...

I posted down below, but i can't find an answer to my main question, which is all i can do now is try and stop and let my hair grow instead of whining about it being so freakin' thin....

I don't pull, i pick at my scalp and strands of hair come off with it...does that mean i've damaged the follicles to the point that some of my hair won't grow back. Obviously i'm obsessed ...

Hi guys! My hair has been noticabley thinning over the last 6 months. I've been going nuts thinking it's thryroid issues (i do have a controlled thyroid problem), i am a little iron deficient, and have been under stress when i noticed it thinning out significantly.

But i have this habit of "scraping" my scalp free of flakes or beads of dead skin (not to be ...

I'm going to put it simply. I am a 21 year old male and I have had trich for many years now. It's an off and on thing, and although I have stopped pulling, my eyelashes have continued to fall out, and now there is a minimal amount of lashes in my right eye. Minimal. I feel lost, depressed, feel like there is no hope in regaining my eyelashes in my right eye. I feel ...

I just keep on lying and I dont know why, I look at porn all the time and lie about it and she knows and now she is threatning to leave me....she says that I am not happy with how she looks and who she is...I am, I really am...I really need help...I dont know how much longer I can handle this...I am so depressed right now.

I got a phone call from my best friend, whom I have long since confided to, earlier this evening. She informed me that there was a name for my disorder. After two hours of reading what others have to say I find myself wanting to discuss a matter which I have avoided for nearly twenty years.

Unlike some of the other posts I have read I do know when I am doing it, or at ...

Hi all, this is my first post. I have recently been caught in all of my lies by a very close friend. I lied to her about many things, important things, for years. I finally confessed to her last week - because she asked me point blank. For whatever reason, I told her the truth. My first instinct was to lie - as always - but I did not.

She is very hurt and confused ...

From reading up on shoplifting, I'm not a typical case.

I'm not depressed, or medicated, I don't steal stuff I don't need and I'm always aware of what I'm stealing.

My family is lower-middle income, they are a wonderful family and always try and get me what I want. I have a lot of stuff.

The reason I started stealing was I wanted nicer make-up. But I couldn't afford it, so I started stealing it. ...
