News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

So my life up until now has felt completely insane. I'm not sure if this goes here or not, but I don't know where else to put it.

Right now I'm taking an abnormal psychology class. I've always had a "knack" for the subject (if that's possible) and have recently been toying with the idea of making it my major. That's not really what I want to talk about, though.

A few weeks ago we ...

I get free counseling sessions at school so I decided to sign up for one. Now i'm really nervous about it and don't know if should bring up DID or not. I've never been to any kind of counseling in my life and am considering just canceling it! Any advice is welcome. If i bring up DID can they like institutionalize me or something?

Hey all,

I just spent 20 minutes prior to this typing out my post and lost it when I hit preview so I'll make this one shorter. Lucky for all the impatient readers out there. :P

I currently have a diagnosis of schizoaffective but have been wondering about the diagnosis as some events this past week have made me ponder it.

For the past 3 weeks I ...

The original thread, concept and idea are Iniquity's, she has given me permission to put her questions in this thread. I edited one of the questions so that it applies to this sub-forum.

Does your ADHD/ADD impact your work in some ...

Hey guys, I am back! I don't know if it's a good thing or bad...

I really missed this place, so I decided to come back :) The reason I left was that I felt detached from everything and didn't know what I was doing. I tried to escape my borderline issue...definitely didn't work. It didn't leave me for a single second...doesn't that suuuuccck!

I think I ...

Ok I know that I'm not ment to ask for reassurance, but has anyone had something simular before.
1 having a tight feeling in your testicles ( sorry ) a feeling like you need to release but you just have no motivation to do so. Your mind kind of telling you, you like it but you don't.
And I found when I got to think about girls or I see a girl I get a ...

Hi. I've tried everything to get over my ED and I just can't seem to do it alone.. This is one of my last attempts to regain control of my life, if anyone has any tips or would just be there to help me on my journey I would be forever grateful.

The most depressing thing I need to state is I've gained 30 Lbs in less than 3 months.. I need help to stop ...

Hi, I'm new here, anyway..
I don't always cut when I'm depressed. I cut because of the adrenaline and rush I get.

***Triggering***
I have recently discovered I get the same feeling as I cut when I wear pointe shoes without toe pads. If you don't know, when you dance in pointe shoes, you're standing at the legit tips of your toes~on ablocka wood~and without toe pads, I can pretty much feel everything. It hurts ...

This may have been covered in the time I was not here (and that's a lot of pages of forum activity to look through), but I've noticed significantly increased animal empathy in myself and some other people with Asperger's. My dad (who very likely has it) is the same way, and we both maintain that animals are much easier to understand than people. Now, some of my friends have some signs of AS, but I ...
