Hi. I just joined this site, this is my first post here. I have multiple issues but I'm starting here since it's bothering me the most at the moment.

So my sister is about a year and a half older than me. Growing up, several times we have engaged in incestuous acts, though relatively mild I guess (don't really want to go into details.) It happened every so often from when we were I think ...

Hello all my lovely and beautiful schizoidies! I have a question for you. Yes, I do!

Well, there was something on the internetties that I found about the schizoids...

"Often the schizoid is lacking resourcefulness and intuition. He feels that he's stayed too long as a guest, but cannot think of the appropriate pretense to present for leaving. Instead he waits for the host, who must declare that the visit is over realizing that the ...

Well, I am at the half-way mark of my junior year in highschool and have been diagnosed with Aspergers a few weeks ago. I will get used to it but its just terrible for me right now. It explains my horrible experiances in middle-school and the first year of highschool. I hated alot of classmates because they were indifferent and I was bullied back then. I was extreamly defensive. It didnt improve till my sophmore ...

I'm extremely self-conscious about my own self and my problems, my thoughts are unremitting and there's little space for feelings, I read a lot of psychology books about personality disorders and when I stay home I can't stop thinking about past events of my life, about my love disappointments and what I should do to avoid them. Sometimes I think I'm turning into a hypochondriac paranoid, and I also think I'm super intelligent because of ...

Hi all

I have came across a youtube video where Tom Cruise argues against psychiatry; you probably know he is a Scientology follower and they are very anti-psychiatry oriented ( for some reason).

However, that's not what this thread is about.

I love the thrill of stealing.

Today I was at the store and stole some stuff, and the feeling I have coming out is so amazing. I don't really care what it is that I steal, it can be near worthless or whatever. It just feels good. It feels like the world isn't insane anymore.

My favorite way to steal is to put on my stealing jacket (the one with the nice generous sleeves on ...

He blames himself for his sister's problems and is tortured by it.
He can't remember the time line exactly but figures he was around 15 and she was six.
He came from a family ...

WARNING rant mode turned on full.

What on earth is the matter with MDs?? I phoned up my Doctor's surgery this afternoon to see if my autism diagnosis from when I was a child was still on my file. Apparently in the UK if you haven't received treatment for a mental complaint for 25 years the initial autism diagnosis is removed from your active medical records so you don't have to declare it to employers ...
