Hey guys, I thought I would introduce myself.

I joined the site last year but forgot about it, so I'm sort of new.

I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder about three years ago. I'm currently not coping, even though I live by myself and work full time. I recently saw a psychiatrist for a medication review and got my medication increased, which has made me feel "zoned out" a lot. I haven't really been ...

Im waiting for a phone call from my case manager to inform me which treatment group ive been placed in, im very lucky to have been diagnosed just in time to be placed on a brand new research treatment program for people with bpd!! Yay me! but because its research there is two groups "Treatment" or "non treatment" Treatment group I would get weekly group therapy, weekly one on one therapy, psychiatrist monthly, a case ...

I actually think I have no control over my behavior! At all...to the point I don't control it. Is anyone else like this? I basically "go with the flow"...but sometimes in a really negative way. I know people with OCD feel like they don't have control, but they still control themselves...I've been completely fooled by OCD...

Just a question...can anyone here act...how on earth do you do it? I took drama classes before but I find it incredibly difficult. I've never been "in character" or anything like that...I can only improvise moments. Sometimes I decide before doing a monologue for example all the movements and memorize them, other times I try to think really fast of what the next natural movement would be.
My theory for acting is that you have ...

This is my first post in any mental health forum and I am looking for any input that can be provided.

I have came to the conclusion that I have a serious issue with lying. It has happened multiple times in the past, but in the most recent incarnation, it has the potential to seriously damage my current relationship with my fiance.

Over the past 3+ years of our relationship, here are some of the ...

I can feel another psychotic episode triggering. The sky looks like a painting that I could reach out and touch. I am exhausted, exhilarated, sublimely bored -- my body and its breathing are purely sexual and illuminating, and yet, when I look in the mirror, I am repulsed by my frailty.

The desire to cut lacerations into my legs, burn holes into my forearms, land punishing blows on my abdomen -- it thrills through me ...

Reading "First Person Plural: My Life As a Multiple", I have to agree with several reviewers on Amazon.com that this autobiography may be a fabrication: not because it is too bizarre, but because it is too superficial. It reads like it was written by a singleton, maybe with some material by a multiple. Was there a ghostwriter? The writing is bad too.

"When Rabbit Howls" is far more powerful; that book is awe inspiring.

Hey guys, I'm running a website/forum for people with AvPD and those who need advice regarding AvPD. My website/forum has a number of customizations just for avoidants. For example, there is a subsection for fantasies, where very brave and daring avoidants can post what they daydream about, what kind of fantasies they have about other people. Avoidants above all other personality disorders retreat into their own imagination as much as possible. This is because they ...

Hi. So it turns out I have a lot of questions about pyschopaths. If you are a psychopath I woulds be honored if you took the time to answer them.

Question the first: How deeply does music affect you? (I've been reading some past posts and I get the feeling . . .not much)

Question the second and the one I reeeeallllyyy would like answered if you all would be so kind: I understand that ...

Long story short im 21yo and have lived at my parents until now. While at my parents, I masturbated up to 6 times a day. Everymorning, a few times after lunch and for up to 4 hours every night. I can look at porn and masturbate all night sometimes. Recently I was kicked out of my house (for other reasons) and am now moving in with a few friends. Heres the problem, I cant stop ...
