...when you were growing up? I think mine was. Deceit filled my head with a lot of strange beliefs that the adults knew were false but apparently didn't care to correct. I remember having skeptical thoughts from an early age, but they were usually dismissed ("You can't prove my _____ doesn't exist") or discouraged ("Every time someone says, 'I do not believe in fairies,' somewhere there is a fairy that falls down dead," "If you ...

I was watching her kids so she and her husband could go out for their anniversary. She came home and looked at me before she began to cry. She hugged me and I could smell the alcohol on her. She then dropped/threw her purse and jacket onto the floor and went to the bathroom. I asked her husband what was wrong and he just said she'd had a lot to drink...

I stood in the ...

I dont know for sure if I am in the right place all I know is I am very bothered about recent findings of my husband. We have a pretty good sex life but I find that he always needs to use a rather large toy on me if you know what I mean! Well a few months ago I found that he was going on some very unusual porn and when I looked up ...

Well I'm here, and never thought I would be. But I guess I just need some help and have no idea where to start.

My FIL (father in law) is clearly loosing it and I don't know what to do to help. He's always been very independent and likes to keep to himself. So I don't know if he'll get to a point where he isn't safe living on his own or able to make ...

I taught a seminar class today - part of my working vacation - and there was a guy there who was very angry and aggressive, questioning what I said and twisting things around. I recognized that he was the one with the problem and didn't get caught up in his stuff. Sometimes in those situations I shut down and my alter Coach comes out, usually with damaging results.

Coach didn't need to cmoe out today, ...

I guess I'd describe myself as a schizoid type personality, but I've never been to a psychiatrist, so who knows. I'm 17, but please don't write my problems off as "teenage hormones" (even if they are, how exactly does that help me now?) I almost physically can't show emotions, which certainly hasn't helped me socially. Anyway, I'm just REALLY angry a lot of the time. I have one friend who I can talk to about ...

I've been thinking a lot about the foods that I binge on. Some of it is pretty weird. I don't know if anyone else does the same... but if you find yourself nodding while reading this list, please let me know. Some of it seems pretty stereotypical for a bulimic to binge on but others I haven't heard anyone else mention. I'm usually too timid to talk about it or the group rules forbid me ...

Once the inner world becomes lost and can not be entered and found anymore after integration... how can we find out the inner world and enter it again?

As we know, there are quite many different advantages of living with the inner world... for example, good memory, beautiful environment for relaxing, and good private world for us to study or do what we want to help ourselves...... Although "normal" individual doesn't have inner world, i ...

This is a tad weird and so I just have to share it.

Today there was a moment when I felt panicked, my heart started to race and my head felt dizzy. Then I realized that I'd been holding my breath.

It makes me wonder how many times an anxious feeling was self-inflicted by doing this type of thing, and whether or not learning how to breathe properly could help others.

I might not have ...
