Just one more random thought. In the "cleverest" thread, some mentioned my experience. I thought it was a kind compliment but as always, my mind raced to see if it was true. "Self is this possible, is this true?" And it struck me.....even though I claim to experience certain things in my own way, I might not be experiencing them at all. For example, guilt for some is "A" but for me it is ...

I have a friend that I think may have Munchausen syndrome. She has been "sick" for the majority of her life. I've never doubted her until recently. She told me that she was having her colon removed because it is dead. Last week she was rushed to the hospital because of stomach pain. I went to see her and when the doctors told her about her condition, she exaggerated what the doctor said to anyone ...

Hello.

I just finished watching an action movie and after that I got two new alters that see reality as a movie. Basically everything they do, follows the rules of movies - physics and all. And that's when the problems started.

Other one hit my face with my cellphone because she thought that I was a bad guy! It really hurted and it teared my skin a tiny bit. (I didn't know cellphones can be ...

Perhaps an odd question; but it came to me while responding to another thread just now...

For those who are bisexual and sadistic/sociopathic/psycopathic/AsPD/what have you, does your desire to harm and destroy differ at all between the sexes?

How do you feel/expell your aggressions towards men?
How do you feel/expell your aggressions towards women?

Do you find that men & women trigger you differently?
If so, how so?

Do you maintain your sadistic, harmful, destructive ...

Every morning I wake up feeling worse than the day before. Most of the time I have this anxious/frightened/guilty feeling as if I have done something horribly wrong and I am awaiting punishment. Is anyone else familiar with that feeling? It's horrible and I can't make it go away.

I alternate between feeling like I am hidden under inches of ice (being numb), and getting triggered and feeling like everything is life or death. When ...

Have you ever experienced this? Is it a ridiculous notion or a valid experience?

I had two alters, one developed in high school, his name was Maverick. I was one of those no friends, always picked on types and he didn't really stand for it. He was a smart mouthed, short tempered person who really had no regard for other people (myself being the only exception). I don't know if I want to say he was smarter than me but he was far quicker and really enjoyed toying with ...

Social anxiety disorder was actually the first thing my first therapist diagnosed me with when I was 19. Practically the first session. :roll:

It's gotten worse since then. The biggest problem, it seems right now, is that I CAN'T talk on the phone. Part of the talking problem may be selective mutism--I don't know. But it's like when I think about having to call someone, I ...

I wanted to follow on from what I wrote in that "What do you want from this forum?" thread:

I would actually like to have a smaller presence in this forum. I'd prefer to come here to read and learn rather than to police or argue. But when the dominant view becomes too extreme, I feel I need to wade in. Obviously "extreme" is subjective. What I consider an extreme view, someone else may consider ...

This is very unusual for us...has anyone else "met" new people in dreams? Almost a week ago now, I think, I had a dream about two new alters. One was a little girl--I dreamed that I discovered her message on a forum that was something along the lines of "help me." The other seemed very rough and angry with the little girl. At first I was upset, but then the more I thought about it, ...
