For the past two years I have been suffering from intrusive, repulsive images and paranoid thoughts characterized by the notion that I secretly want to have sexual relations with my brother. I read something about the nature of OCD and found that it described exactly what I was going through, and as the nature of the disease is one of doubt, I was wondering if somebody here is actually attracted to their sibling and knows ...

I was reading a thread and it made me a bit curious as to how many here have been professionally diagnosed..

This may trigger, so if you are easily triggered, I'd look away. Well basically my whole life I have been self destructive. Even as young as two years old I was repeatedly cutting all my hair off. I punch walls, burn myself, cut myself, starve myself, break objects I hold dear, push people I love away, quit things I enjoy doing, hit my hand with a hammer, attempt suicide repeatedly, just about anything you can ...

In 2001 I sustained a head injury although it didn't show up on CT and MRI scans. I had this diagnosed through doing some neuropshychological tests. Around the same time I was also diagnosed with schizophrenia and are currently on resperadone injections.

I want to know if schizo can be caused through head trauma and also what course of treatments should I be following?? The person who diagnosed me with the head injury wanted tp ...

I am so accustomed to people pushing me out of there life because they can't handle my "drama" and emotional roller coasters, suicide threats, etc. But recently I really liked this girl, and normally girls push me out of there lives. But when this girl basically said she didn't like me back, I did everything I could to push her out of mine. Despite the fact everyone, including my therapist, said she liked me but ...

... a pedophile as the protagonist.

I've been inspired by shows like Weeds, Breaking Bad, Dexter and Six Feet Under. I also wanted to base it partly on events in my own life, in particular the minor cult I joined, the struggle with paraphilias and secrets, and psychadelics. The book and / or TV series would be philosophical and avante-garde, something that would really make people think and re-assess their views. Grandiose in theme yet ...

I have made an observation about myself and sleep. I am sleeping way too much and I have found myself lying to my fiance about how much I sleep. When I first realized this I thought it was because I have had to work one third shift the last two weeks in a row, but.... It started happening before the thirds. I always feel tired and unrested. I'm constantly moving from my bed to the ...

First of all, my native language isn't English, so i'm sorry if my writing isn't that good.

I've been visiting a psychologist once a week for the last 7 months in suspicion of having social phobia due to my social problems. About 2 months in, he confirmed that i had social phobia, but he also told me i could have asperger syndrome.
Not knowing what it was, i researched it and, for my surprise, it ...

I thought about this in the car today. There aren't many movies that really make me lol but the scene in There's Something About Mary where Ben Stiller's character is getting interrogated by the police after being arrested always has me in stitches.

Care to share yours?

I'm Mira. I'm 17, and at this point I'm pretty much positive I have BPD. I was diagnosed with MDD and general anxiety a while back, and I still go to my counselor and my therapist. Thing is, my depression never affected my memory, sleep habits or appetite. Now, this is why I think I have BPD.

I've always been terrified of people leaving me. My dad left our family temporarily, and it was the ...
