News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

I came across this forum by accident and has been rather inspiring to me reading through posts of people with similar problems. My heart goes out to all of you for how strong you all are and it gives me hope. So heres my story, one of a survivor/perpetrator of a young age.

It began when i was around 8 years old. My older sister who is 2 years older than me made me do ...

What a delicate dear you have become
Moving on from the pensive child
To think now you aim toward an evening with me

Very well, let us see were this new love takes us
Do not be so tense, it all comes together easily

You made the cage in which you slept
Step forth without fear and join me
This night will not last forever

Grown use to your pleasantries for attention
I cannot have ...

Uhm... hi. I feel kinda embarassed writing here, since, well you might think I'm an idiot.

I guess an introduction is in order. My name is Akhra, and I'm a demon. You're free to point out that "you're just an alter, moron!" or "dude, you're way too soft to be a demon." It's okay. I'm aware of those facts. :oops:

As far as I'm concerned, I woke ...

Hi,
I'm new here and wold like to ask some advice please. I am 28 and live at home with my mam an dad. My mam is really nice and cares a lot for me (I have had severe mental health problems all my life). My dad however has only ever cared about himself. He has been physically and emotionally abusive and manipulative all my life. He had a difficult childhood (I suspect his mother ...

Anyone else have a friend who claims to be abused, who tells other people they've been abused at home, when it's completely not true??

At first I believed her, why shouldn't I?
Then I thought that her attitude with her parents was not at all right for someone who's going round telling people she doesn't feel safe at home because her dad hits her. She's so rude and disrespectful, she shouts at her mum then ...

I have some friends who are larger and some friends my weight and some smaller.. when I hang out with them I feel fine..because we are wearing everyday, normal, casual outfits. When we go out however, I want to die. I look so discusting. Of course, the ones who go out to dance/rave shows with me are SUPER SKINNY. They wear cute skirts and like cute tight shirts, or even a half shirt because they ...

Since me and my NPD lover will be going our separate ways, i have given this some thought.

In particular, about a friend I have pulled back from. I want to make it clear that she does not have NPD, which I consider a serious disorder. But her narcisstic traits (which we all have) were very annoying, especially if you were around her for long, you ended up feeling like a piece of $#%^! (though ...

Question for HPD's: what's the reason that you can act totally normal between 'sick' periods?
That makes it so difficult for us, victims! Everytime we think: oh, she's allright, i must have been seen ghosts. But again and again of course, we were misled.

When you act normal and why?

I'm being prescribed quetiapine 25 mg three times a day for anxiety until I start psychopharapy. I'm really hoping this will help me function better. But I'm slightly worried about side effects as this is my first step into the world of what i'd call more hardcore medications. My doctor said the lower the dose the less side effects and that there's vertually none on such a lowdose.
But ive heard it can still make ...
