I think this is more of a rant for myself than an expectation that anyone will actually read and respond. In any case...

Background: I've been in a relationship with a guy for six years now. We're both 20, so we've been going out since we were 14. I know, I know...that's long and slightly stupid for young people. Still, I love him and I know he loves me. That was never an issue. We ...

How old were you when you first masturbated, and when did it become a regular thing? I am just wondering what a "normal" age is to start experimenting with your body that way.

I don't know how old I was when I started because I was young and don't have a clear memory of it. The first memory I have is when I was no older than 7 and trying to show my friend how ...

Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could help me out. I am 16 soon to be 17 and I love drinkign more than any other release. I drink about once a week and it allows me that great escape from the world and the way my brain feels when im sober (me and eye contact and self esteem). Am I an alcoholic? Even though i dont drink close to everyday? I dont know what ...

These are a couple of my poems, I hope you like them!

MONSTER

Want to hide from this monster inside,
The monster that chases dreams aside,
The monster that kills the peace,
I can't let go of this beast.

The beast is me,
Who am I with out the beast,
Who am I with the beast,
Nothing but shame.

Shame strangles me,
I go were the shame takes me,
I go with shame to everlasting ...

:( I was sexually abused as a child and in my last marriage. Lately I have been unable to make love to my husband. The flash backs are so bad, even when I think about it. My husband wants a seperation because of this. He has'nt done anything wrong. I guess he just can't live without it. I just can't take myself to a place where I ...

My psch, mother and husband believe I act like I am in my mid-teens and I am in my 30s with a 3-year-old son and a teen I had as a teenager. I have severe bipolar disorder that has never responded well to meds for long.

I don't present as an ordinary bipolar and my moods are EXTREME. I fly off the handle (screaming, threatening, very dramatic) when hypomanic and weep and beg when depressed. ...

This is my first post on this site, and i hope i do not do anything wrong, or against the rules.

I just kinda need to vent something, i have not cut in about a good 3 months now, maybe even 4 or 5. I have lost count. But today i was sitting here alone, and i was just looking at my self, and i have noticed i have gained weight, and im very ...

Hi, I've recently begun a relationship with a man whose best friend and former business partner, I believe, has borderline personality disorder. They have a platonic "Will & Grace" kind of relationship (he is straight, she is homosexual) and she has been living with him for the past six months, however her behavior has been increasingly erratic over the past year... Because they were in business together, she is financially as well as emotionally dependent ...

I really hope someone can help me, i would be so grateful if anyone could.

I am a teenager, I live in a middle class area in England, I have suffered with a few mental problems including OCD and a few others I don't know what they are called but I fought really long and hard to beat them, so by the time I was about 12 I seemed normal to everyone. I am going ...
