Hi everyone,

From reading posts on this forum I have begun to think that I am most likely experiencing BDD; I just thought I'd explain certain, different things that I do that I consider strange and see if they fit the profile and if others have experienced the same particular thing. Oh, and I just turned 18 and I'm male

Firstly, I look in mirrors ALL THE TIME; I've been called ugly by some guys ...

Hi , this is my first post and I'm hoping that someone can help me. In a nutshell I have a lot of problems, this spring I attempted to commit suicide and started cutting to relieve the endless chaos and pressure. I was diagnosed with a number of disorders, including personality disorder nos, with borderline, avoidant and dependant traits. What is this? what does it mean? The psych RN said that the distinction wasn't important. ...

Hiding under a spiral stair case in the green room of the little theatre, I just sat there. I held my head while it throbbed from the overload of negative information its cognition was taking in...the basketball players who smirked mockingly at my big-boned yet scrawny figure, the student council/cheerleader girls who looked over their shoulders in my direction, and whisper a rumor about me--something about me being a pedophile, or starting a hate group ...

I don't know if anyone could point me in the right direction but I have a question....

My boyfriend and I had a recent blowout, and when all was calm and said and done, he said he seriously thought that he had anti-social personality disorder. While he has some symptoms, it doesn't all match up.

-he does have a disregard for what anyone cares or thinks, except for me. He really doesn't care about anyone ...

Something bad happened a long time ago
It’s not her fault and nobody knows
So sometimes she sees only black or white
Just good or bad; she knows it’s not right
Sometimes she can’t get a sense of herself
But seems to find it in somebody else
And if they leave she knows she will die
So, she constructs an alibi
To push them away as fast as she can
Then, another man
Someone who ...

Basically, I have been doing a lot of research on the internet,
and have been going to counseling on and off for years, and getting nowhere. I would like to find someone with a child like mine,
and maybe get suggestions on what to do.

I have 3 kids, my youngest 2 are great, but are bullied by their brother since the day they have been born.

Heres some details of my son, he is ...

My long-time boyfriedn (20 yrs) has been sick now for four years. He has not been officially diagnosed. His first trip to the doctor (at my urging) and they said he was paranoid. Then about six months later he tried to commit suicide when I didn't belive something he was telling me. He was observed for 72 hours and released. The dotor told me that since many of the things he was experiences were true, ...

hey, my name is Bryant and I was reading some posts and this is a pretty nice forum so I thought I'd ask a question. For a few years now I've noticed an awkward trend in my behavior. Just like other people posting here I had moments that really stabbed at self worth and mostly made me justify my existence and if I was contributing nothing to the greater good I had no business being ...
