Is it common for you ASPD's to have every ailment under the sun? I swear my mother breaks something, needs to go to the ER, hospital, etc. whenever the attention is not on her.

My mother looks at me with such disdain. I am onto her and I think she knows it. I have to start playing dumb again for a while because I have to live in her house for another year or so. She walks around with such hatred and vitriol. What is the point? How could anyone live life that way? I get that it isn't her fault genetically I guess but c'mon.

I've read all kinds of info and posts from people who wonder if they're bipolar and I happen to be one of them. I'm not sure where to begin. I will say for starters that I've never had a psychotic episode (well I heard voices once, but that was just a side effect from zoloft). Anyway, I've been all over the map for years. When I was 17, I attempted suicide. Since even before that, ...

I thought it was just my Dad,
who was bad.

Again I feel pretty "out of it" so I might not make any sense here...

Over the past few months I've had a lot of memories/information come to me, via others or my own internal research. My problem is, though, after I'm flooded with a bunch of either images or "connecting of the dots" (as I like to call it), soon after the memories fade away again and I'm left feeling absolutely nothing about what ...

just broke up with a guy that I was seeing for two weeks and I feel suicidal. The relationship was very intense. We started dating two weeks and and after a week completely fell head over heels for each other. Last week we spent every single night together. We had so much in common and I had never met anyone so intellectual, so charming and totally compatible with me. The problem is that he was ...

I've only self harmed once in 3months and it wasn't anything serious. Yet its been building and building and I know the cresendo is about to hit me. All I want is to cut and cut bad wanna see lots of blood and feel something cos its like I'm nothing. The only person keepin me safe is my friend but don't know how much longer I can refrain from acting on my thoughts impulses addiction ...

Hi.

I have recently started writing down my experiences with growing up in a home with parents being alcoholics, my problems with eating, and struggling with feelings of lonelieness and depression.

My hope is that you who may read my history, might somehow benefit from my experiences, either for your own sake, or to better understand someone you know who are struggling.

Kind Regards

Ok guys, this board is and should be built on complete honesty in order for us to heal. So here goes. I am not planning on contacting my ex HPD gf. Howver I have not contacted her since Jan, albeit for a brief question abouut her parents' condition (The Flood) in April. Since then I have been basically no contact and still have not heard from her. So in all honesty my EGO wants HER ...
