So being this way, (Schizoid, introverted, 'loner' - whatever you wanna call it) means I have a lot of spare time on my hands, as I barely socialise and spend most of my time alone. Sometimes I find myself with nothing to do - nothing's on tv, the internet is boring me etc. Sometimes when this happens I like to just lie on my bed and stare up at the ceiling and think. But sometimes ...

I'm sure you guys have noticed I've been gone for about a week!

NO, I wish it had been a vacation, it has been a nasty cold that progressed into the full blown flu/stomach bug.

I'm on the mend, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm back, and that I've missed you all!

I will be checking on each of you this evening when I get back from work, and if you ...

Hello everyone ...

My psychiatrist augmented my dose of Abilify to 25 mg recently, and I am starting to feel numb again. Moreover, it is having no effects on the symptoms it is supposed to help me manage whatsoever. Between my dad (who thinks I have DID), my psychiatrist (who thinks I'm schizophrenic), my friend Annabelle (who believes I should go to university mental health research centers), my psychologist (who treats Ralph in a kind ...

Hi all.
I registered on here a few years ago but I haven't actually been on the forum since. I've been keeping busy. I really don't know where to start. I've been doing really well. Diagnosed with depression and PTSD around 8 or 9 years ago. Made a mess of a lot of things up until very recently. In the last couple of years things seemed to somewhat fall in to place, to the point ...

Shes staying at our house for a couple of days, without her husband.

2 years ago I used to live with her and my little brother(she was sort of our legal guardian while my mom was away). I was 16. Her fiance used to come over a lot. Seemed like a cool dude, relatively shy, but cool. Then one night, my cousin came home extremely late, from work I believe, and her bf had been ...

My life has become slightly more interesting over the past year. Repressed desires and fantasies that I've had since early childhood have finally found themselves unleashed and laid bare within the framework of reality. The cognitive dissonance that used to plague my mind is slowly being abolished, and my sadistic nature is growing exponentially braver every day - an experience that is as thrilling as it is frightening. Not only am I becoming more honest ...

Since the mid of December ive been like a ticking bomb constantly angry, did impulsive things like deleting some friends from my bbm, deleted my account in twitter, I even planned on deleting this account but the moderator ignored my email made me feel wonderful :) , I keep putting myself to sleep taking sleeping pills whenever I get the chance to, ditching work… im unhappy, pulled ...

Anyone else have it? It's 2:30am right now, I am extremely tired but can't sleep. This usually happens every other week or so. I'll end up getting exhausted and end up sleeping for like 13 hours or something crazy, or worse get sick from lack of sleep. I just can't shut my mind off sometimes. Thoughts constantly running through my mind. Normally I end up on the internet researching different topics.

Found the following Jungian paper about BD interesting but decided not to quote it in case is copyright. It can be read here: http://pueretsenex.blogspot.com/2012/01 ... -none.html

I get the general idea that moods are somehow accompanied by imagination and thoughts, but my question is, does changing the way you imagine somehow change your moods?

thoughts?

Hi all;

At my therapists today he suggested that because I am co-dependant I should set up and practice boundaries (which I suck at) with my soon to be x husband who suffers from the effects BPD.

My question to you is:
How do you react to boundaries?
Do you hate them, or are for them?

I am trying to get a rough idea what his reaction will be.

Thank you for your time.
