I've only known about depersonalization for the past twenty minutes..ish. I'm not really sure what's been going on with me for the past forever but it's been getting increasingly worse. I haven't been able to keep a job more then four months (my longest job.. when I was seventeen) and I've recently destroyed my relationship of two years with an incredible man because I was cheating on him with my ex/his good friend. It drives ...

I'm in my late 30's. I feel like since I was a loser in High School I am a loser now. ALthough I'm not really, but I always find something that makes me feel like a loser and I'm so ashamed of who I am alot of times and hate myself. I tell myself that successful people were "something" in High School known for something, won something, elected for something. I played in band for ...

Aside from Lithium. I have similar side effects. This feeling of being in this awful drugged haze. I only took it one night, night before last. Last night I had the worst nightmare I think I have ever had. I am off the Cymbalta too, so that could be making me feel bad. Something I read online said that Prozac is a good one for people with borderline personality.

Problem with that this weekend, the ...

So, i've only had one gf ever and it was for about a week and she broke up with me. It wasn't a strong relationship, because we were both unstable with life and were in a depression pit.

I know I am asking a stupid question since I don't believe it myself :D but still out of curiosity:

I was having dinner with a friend of mine with whom I shared my story for the first time with since we met after a long time and he suggested an interesting angle to it. This guy is big-time into astrology and stuff and he casually ...

My pdoc wants to put me on a medication called moclobemide. Has anyone heard of this medication? What is it?

I went to see my pdoc today about the Ativan. I told him about how I didn't like having to have to go around with the 2nd/3rd dosages at times when traveling around. So he suggested how about trying 2mg AM/PM. I said ok and he wrote a script for 1mg Ativan 2pills 2AM/2HS. Later on in the day (ride home from program) I thought about how the medicine would be sedating (like he mentioned), ...

Hello there. I was just wondering of any of you could offer me some advice.

I don't know where to begin.

Well, I'm 22 and have probably always known I was gay since I was around 7 or so after a few encounters with a close friend. Up until a few years ago, I've always managed to deny my feelings and was able to lead a "normal" life. In the last few years, things have ...

Hello Everyone, my first post here so just wanted to say hi and do a little intro of myself. I'm a 43yo male from Canada and I've suffered with AvPD for as far back as I can remember. I never really understood what my issues were or even heard of AvPD till I had a melt down of sorts about 3 years ago. Since then I've been in a constant battle of change and learning ...
