Hey everybody, just thought i'd introduce myself as i'm quite new. i've read some of your threads and think the support you give each other here is amazing. i'm a recovered(ish) SIer, have OCD and chronic tic disorder and just wanted say hi and that i'd like to be part of your network.

For all of you trying to recover/quit, hang on in there it can get better even if it looks like there's no ...

I have had an almost lifelong SI problem.

I've always had bad skin, worse than most people, but I make it worse.

I almost feel OCD about having acne and feel need to take care of it by digging, popping. I really feel better with a cut than the acne, but I never let them heal properly, either.

I have scars all over, my body is ruined. I feel gross and disgusting, but when I ...

My personal story is a lot like what you all have described here. It started when I was about 10-12, where I would pull from the middle of my scalp where it wasn't visible even in a ponytail. I had a huge bald spot, but I remember telling myself to just STOP, and focus on something else and I did. I ended up recovering just fine after that, throwing myself into 3 sports, being very ...

I don't know if I have trichotillomania necessarily, but I have something. Here's a brief summary of how I got here.

I'm a 23 year old male, I've had short hair all my life, buzzcut from 14-22. Last year I decided I was going to grow it out. My whole family has extremely thick, curly hair, and I'm no different. I straightened it for a while, but about two months ago (14 months after growing), ...

Mine is people cracking their knuckles or even bigger joints like their neck. Especially if it's in a really quiet place like a class or a library. aaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My hubby's pet peeve is someone sitting close to him eating an apple or crunchy cereal.

What's yours? :)

Is it possible to have a child if you have inhibited ejaculation?
Despite my inability to ejaculate in a woman I do get pre-ejaculatory fluid. I have read that you can get a woman pregnant with just this.

I'm ready to throw in the towel on the family gp, and switch to the psychiatrist. Haven't got a psych to go to yet, but just unhappy with the care the gp can offer. Partly due to unavailability of gp.

Does anyone feel that the GP is just inadequate? (Or am I just too demanding and bullyish when I'm only half medicated?) I've been through three gps in the last five years due to moves ...

i almost wish i had just kept supressing everything. true, when i was doing that i was never really "there" and my emotions were always flat, but at least i didn't have constant flashbacks. i had them, but once or twice a week, not once or twice an hour. i feel like i'm being raped again every time i hear a door open or close! when living in a dorm, that's very very often. i ...
