I just had someone blow up on me (finally) that has treated me like crap since I told her I was going to be screened for Asperger's and asked her to tell me if I was acting like and ass (so I could learn from it instead of just assuming that I actually knew better)..

This is just someone online so i'm not that worried about losing contact with the person, but really, why is ...

Okay. So here is the picture. I go to a flee market to see a friend of mine's booth. I'm looking through her stuff. It's all beautiful but not really my style. All of a sudden I see the most hideous purse I have ever seen (pretty much) and I want it so bad! It was ridiculous. Come to find out that she bought it as a "welcome home" present. She loves it to death. ...

First of all, I want to say that I have not been diagnosed to borderline personality disorder, but after much research, and several failed attempts at treating my "bipolar disorder", I really REALLY think that BPD is what I have.

As some may know, I have a small child. I cannot have BPD and raise a child properly, and I would like to hear what others do to cope with their worst symptoms. Please let ...

I still don't understand. I've read about it but I'm too dumb. I need it in words of 2 sylables lol. Can ego states leave you flooded with emotions that you don't know where they came from? Can you ever hear ego states like a voice that says something in your head, in response to something someone you was talking to said? Can you hear ego states talking out your mouth having a conversation with ...

What is the difference between those two and is it true that avoidant girls desire a family.
I have been said that this wish of me is untypical for schizoids. Although I am diagnosed as schizoid.

I've felt this way for years, it's not a new thing. I've tried to bring it up before on other forums but no one took me seriously, I think that's my biggest problem is that people always think I'm joking. I'm not sure if it's a 'fetish' or what but I don't necessarily think "Oh I wanna have sex with that guy look how deformed he is." as much as I see them as any ...

I'm 25, and the past year i've come out of the closet as a lesbian. Pretty much everyone knows including my parents. Sorry if this is long, but i feel like i have to explain myself...

Most of my life i've considered myself straight, then bi and then as I moved out of my parents place I realized that these gay feelings got stronger and stronger. At the same time that I moved out, i ...

Those of you who do not want to know about Van der Hart's et al's 2006 research should avoid this thread please! Do not read further and then complain please! Also, I am not a therapist. This is a discussion of public material found in books, etc..

This thread is about the original work by Van der Hart, et al in 2006
I will introduce one subject per day, rather than all at once. ...

So is there anyone out there that has gone through a serious illness? Having just been diagnosed with cancer, I’m interested to find out how schzoids handle their illness verses your average normal person.

So far my behavior is getting a lot of raised eyebrows. It’s been four weeks and I haven’t told anyone other than one friend who immediately betrayed me by telling someone else when I specifically asked her not to. I finally ...
