Hi there I am new in this forum.
I want to learn about health related issues and want to share too.
Hope you will enjoy my company.

I oscillate every year between latent and major depression, usually peaking during winter or shortly after with profound dysphoria and suicidal thoughts. I'm on about my fifth cycle running... or sixth, or fourth, hard to say... and this time, I've decided to try and break the pattern with something a little drastic.

I've decided to take ibogaine therapy around the end of the year. Most of you won't know what that is. Iboga is an ...

hi, again. yes, yet again

sometimes I get what i'd describe as hypomania, yet these episodes are quite short, lasting at most a week, most of the time less than a day. what is it? halp1!

disclaimer: I know most of you are not licensed psychologists, and even if you were this is not sufficient evidence for a formal diagnosis, yet i want to know what i should do and a blunt approximation of what ...

I've recently been diagnosed with OCD and I've been in therapy for a short while. I've shown improvement over the last few months and I've learned a lot regarding the nature and severity of my condition. What's stumped me is a specific obsession I have. It could be described as a phobia of contamination or whatever, but it's obviously more complicated than that to me. I have a general case of obsessively and compulsively washing ...

Sorry if this comes out jumbled.

I remember a thread awhile back where a bunch of us were discussing whether or not it is a good idea to disclose your BPD. I have found that I don't regret telling the people in my group therapy classes. They understand. But I have found I regret now telling all my friends and family. It's like, as soon as they know you're Borderline, they get all afraid of ...

Hi guys. It's Dawn (12-ish, female). I am so, just....annoyed? Bored? It's driving me crazy, whatever it is, so frustrated, I guess. I mean, on the one hand, the entire system doesn't even seem like we're supposed to be human (Dragon seems more accurate!), and when that seems particularly true none of us human alters seem to matter in the same way. On the other hand, even if we are supposed to be a dragon, ...

I am 23. I have been diagnosed with just about every disorder under the sun. But I know for a fact I have BPD. When I was younger, I used to have missing memory gaps once in a while during very stressful events. Well I am lesbian, and I like this girl, and we have been arguing back and forth for a while, and last night, my BPD made me tell her that I have ...

Before I realized my schizoid symptoms, I had a history of wanting and getting into relationships. But once I got into the relationship and time passed, I realized that I want to be alone and would sabotage these relationships and end them. I am currently in the longest relationship that I have ever had and I am miserable. However, this relationship isn't as easy to get out of. I know for sure that after this ...

Hey guys and girls!

So it's 8:30 PM, and I'm still in my PJ's. Overwhelmed with trying to find a job, living off of my savings, getting back into shape, eating right I use one of two escapes: 1. Go out and have a drink or 2. Online sexting which turn into dirty skype chats or phone sex.

Once in a while might be fine, but I can't focus on anything it seems...even cleaning or ...
