I'm starting another new job and I am so scared. I've been off for a few months due to bp disability but now I have this new job. It's a good opportunity but I'm so worried something will go wrong. I don't want to end up manic or depressed. Any advice?

My mom goes into these long rants about how I need to make sure I stay from "psychotropic drugs"(she says it like it's a bad word) because ...

Is it ever completely cured? I am asking because I just started therapy in March and although I am not sunk in a horrible depressive episode anymore like I was for a solid month, other things get worse, you know? Like, I started to have visual hallucinations in addition to auditory, and a lot of the auditory were NOT inside my head. Like I actually thought I heard them and that they were real. Anyone ...

We all accept that when someone is attacked and sexually assaulted by a stranger while out on the street, it is called rape, and that it is wrong and a crime, bu, often when a man rapes his partner or spouse it is not seen as a crime, or even described as rape.

Yet, funnily enough, this kind makes up around 54% of all cases!

The media highlights preconceptions that women ‘cry rape’! That women ...
