Sometimes I seem to slip into another form of conciousness. Suddenly everything I thought could be wrong- everything is shifted into question. Is this or that really here? Or is it there? Maybe it doesn't even exist at all...

What made me slip into this? It was a suggestion. Just that a simple suggestion sent me tumbling. No ..it couldn't have just been that. There had to be other things as well. Previous steps. How ...

Any of you guys have tattoos? I have three. A small tree on my hip, "charging through the night" on my wrist, & "face the wall" on the back of my neck. I want to get a sparrow on the inside of my arm to symbolize someone I fell in love with, they flew away after they wounded me (there's an arrow in the sparrow's foot) & I want to get a flow of Chinese ...

Hello folks.

I just joined and would like to introduce myself. my name is bpsychd, I *used to* have a diagnosis of BPD and have found my way, although somewhat late in life, I am 34 and feels like life is just starting out for me. I'm trying to make this diagnosis more acceptable in my part of the world and feel that networking is one way to go about it.

Typically, I am a ...

I have been looking up on Bipolar and i feel that many of the symptoms relate to me.

I have been depressed for 18 years and i feel like its becoming a problem in my life. Iv now admitted to having an anger problem with Adults that frustrate me, when i dont like the way someone talks to me or likes something they say i dont talk, i shout and scream (also aggressive).

I really want a diagnosis for aspergers syndrome but no one will diagnose me. My GP was no help and didn't even look at the info I showed her. My mum won't help me she just says well if it's what you want you can try. Why isn't she like all the other mothers with kids with aspergers and autism.
I also hate how when I was 18 and mentioned it she just screamed at ...

Dear friends. My heart goes out to all of you. I too suffer from binge eating. This is a new problem for me (2 years). Before that, I already had lots of problems (still do). For myself, being on Paxil (an antidepressant) caused binge eating. Some may dispute this, I don't care. It's as clear as day. Many won't be affected by antidepressants in such a negative way, but I was.

Bingeing is such a ...

Dear Members,

Thanks in advance for taking time to read and respond. I'm in my late 20's and reside in the suburbs of a major city (for reasons of Confidentiality I shall keep specifics to a minimum). My mother has been unemployed for the better part of 5 years and is displaying possible signs of either disorganised schizophrenia, psychosis, depression, or a combination of these. Symptoms include:

* Silly laughs & behaviour - mostly at ...

My problems are tripled. I am not only a binge eater but I am also anorexic and bulimic. My mother knows I occasionally purge and that I starve myself but all she says to me is I need help and that I have mental issues. I feel helpless, I can't do anything for myself because I'm too young and I have no support. I am not overweight I am actually thin, that is because when ...

I started thinking today about how my real troubles with my dissociation have been since I started my current job. I work in retail and in a not so great area. I supervise and run the service area, and the nature of the customers makes it a very tough job. I get belittled by my customers daily and the management is almost as bad, no matter how hard I work I never get a compliment. ...

From another thread:

Here is a conversation that took place yesterday, between me and a very close friend who has been listening to me talk about my crisis from the start, first PTSD then DID. My crisis began when an insider fell in love with a stranger.

Friend: "I still don't know what you see in this guy."

Me, shrieking and sobbing: "That's exactly the point, I don't know either, it isn't me who is ...
