He found this by someone who was able to allow me to get deep into myself.

I commend him.

Yet, my story must be told of my early years as an OCD suffere and Mother who was OCPD.

I am so glad to have found this forum. I have been diagnosed with panic attacks and anxiety, which has begun to manifest itself into hypochondria. I have been spending hours on line reseaching the disease I feel I have contracted each day. I too have had a battery of tests, all negative, but still believe I am dying. At times, I almost know I am being irrational, but most of the time, I just ...

Hi All,

I am new to the forum. Sorry if this may bore you, but I really need to get this off my chest.....

I am female, 23 years old. 5 months ago, I ended up in the ER because of a racing heartbeat and almost fainting. After an EKG, chest x-ray, and blood tests, they diagnosed me with "dehydration". Well, following this episode, things did not get much better. I went to a doctor ...

I just realized... I'm never going to get out of this, am I? How many of us actually stop? I'm too scared to see a therapist, I feel like they'll treat me like a selfish child who can't get over herself. I stopped for almost two years, and I'm right back into it. It's almost welcoming. This will sound crazy, but it feels right, like ok, I have something that makes me "special." Its related ...

Anyone here want to tell their story? I find it interesting that so many people have EDs, people you wouldn't expect. There is so much history behind each person that NO one knows about. Especially with bulimia. I think that once you get used to hiding something, you start hiding everything else, and become a completely different person on the outside.

Hey,

Lately I've been thinking about myself and how my wants conflict with the boundries I put up around myself. The thing that really bothers me about this is the thing that I really want, and that happens to be a girlfriend. I basically know what goes along with having a girlfriend and almost everything that does conflicts with my personal "needs" I guess you could call them. First of all I don't like being ...

Got two questions that have been eating at me:

Do you believe it's possible to tell if someone has schizophrenia just by looking at them or talking to them briefly?
An old *very #######5 should be fired* psych I had told me that. She said she could tell right when someone walks in the room if they have schizophrenia or not.

Do people find you sometimes hard to get along with?
My family says ...

Hi all,
my name is Eric, I'm 44 years old and I live in Germany. My wife is diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
As you surely know, many bipolar poeple are very creative in painting, writing and others.
My wife created a webpage (www.bipol-art.de) on which bipolar poeple can publish their artworks for free.
We try to point out a positive aspect of this cruel disease.
So, if you like ...
