it hurts lol. sometimes i am so desperate for something to say that i say something stupid. how about you? it really is just another one of the painful symptoms of social phobia.

I think it's tough for people to accept taking anti-psychotics when western psychaitry claims that schizophrenia is a chemical imbalance and yet they have no test to prove this. As a patient this is quite discouraging. I mean how are you supposed to put faith in that.

I'm begining to consider a new option. The meds work and help relieve schizophrenia but not because of the chemical imblance idea but just because their relaxing.

I had a relationship with my fiancé two years ago, but I caught him in several lies and felt I couldn't trust him any longer, so I broke it off. We've gotten back together, and at first things were great, and I really believed that he had matured and gotten past it. However, I'm starting to find things that strongly suggest to me that he's lying again - things which he completely, absolutely denies.

Hi there

This doesn't sound desperate, but it feels like it. I was abused by my father when very young and it has taken me a long time to accept it and learn to live with it. In trying to deal with it emotionally, I've tried many things-writing, drawing, anything creative. I had time with a psychotherapist and a couple of sessions with a psychologist. But I cannot seem to absorb the abuse emotionally, really ...

I recently read an article which claims that the voices and hallucinations we have are really old memories that we just forgot.
As if a "normal" person would just see it as a memory and let it go but we are ...

I feel so alone right now. i really want to cut. i read your guys messages and i think about what i have gone through. i'm not supposed to cut, i would be breaking a deal but i want to so much right now. it''s like i can feel the blood pounding through my body. it wants to get out. i really want to talk to somebody but i feel like i am a bother ...

Cutting used to control me. I needed to cut in order to survive and keep me sane and feeling in control. My only happiness was the feeling i got after cutting. now i'm in a different place in my life and don't need to cut in order to survive. but when i see a sharp object i pick it up and cut just because. i'll be bored and trying to think of things to do ...
