Hello, My husband informed me yesterday our friend Mark, killed himself.... Well let me explain the story, we moved in with some friends about 6 months ago, because we were getting on our feet and i was pregnant again... Anyways, we met a couple (I'm not going to say real names, going to make up names) Sarah and John, we weren't best friends but we were more friends with John than Sarah, they had their ...

To stop eating is just not natural, it is against nature. So why do you do it. (I don't know much about it) IMO it not about food or fashion, its about control & power. It is self abuse, you are self harmers.

It is a psychological problem all in the mind.

Like when I lived with my ignoring Narcissic mother I had Eczema, while living with my ex NPD husband I had Eczema. I ...

Hi,

This is my first time here on the site. There's a lot of forums here and I wasn't sure which one to go to. It's about being female and spending most of my life thinking I'm ugly. I've always compared myself to female stars, friends, female relatives, including my beautiful glamour mum (who started as a bunny girl and then became an actress). She's got so many photos of her all professionally done, and ...

I'll try to lay down a few ideas :

1) Scoring very high on narcissism is quite detrimental, most N aware can probably agree with that. We could summarize that the shift it produces with reality could often lead to unreal / unhealthy / dangerous decisions.

2) N traits are very much in tune with the waste / consumption of modern society, so the structure of modern society encourage N behaviors (*1) to the point ...

Hi, my first post on here. I'm going to describe myself and my thoughts in some situations and tendancies. From the sounds of AvPD as a disorder, I don't think I have the most severe case because somethings I can do which many here seemingly do struggle with. However when I do think about ALL the things I struggle with socially, they all seem to fit with AvPD. I'm going to see a therapist about ...

Hey Guys, I just wanted to give people the address to my blog in case anyone wanted to read it as a distraction, or to maybe understand a bit better where i am coming from in my comments. I think finding an outlet is crucial to getting through it, and writing is definately my one. Would love it if people let me know what they think, or any suggestions they maye have for topics and ...

I don't pull anymore. I don't know exactly why I stopped. But I hope my thoughts may help someone.

Stop pulling for yourself, not for anyone else.

Do a physical activity. Run, walk, play a sport. Decreases anxiety and makes you happier.

Drink lots of water. No caffeine or sugary drinks. Being well hydrated has lots of benefits.

Don't be ashamed if your eyebrows, eyelashes or scalp are mutilated. Don't worry that others may be ...

This is going to be a bit of a long one, but I really need the help.

Firstly, I've been seeing counselors and psychologist etc since I was about 11, when my parents dragged me along to sessions in which I refused to talk to the poor Psych (I have no idea why now) this was due to suffering trichtillomania (Sorry, I'm not sure how to spell this) I was diagnosed by my physician and ...
