Not what you would prefer, right now, but thinking through what the implications of your self-esteem problem are in your thoughts and motivations.

Let's say, right where you are sitting, as you are now, you all of a sudden: accept yourself, and value your positive qualities and strength, and aren't hard on yourself about everything wrong with you. And that's all you change for the time being, that you love you. All future decisions still ...

Among the many behaviors, outward and internal/mental alike, down to the fundamental elements of what makes up NT social behavior or thinking, that NTs do differently from autistics...

Where is the line between those one can't perform despite wanting to, vs don't want to do because it goes against your values or interests and seems like a waste of time or unpleasant distraction?

It's a very open-ended question, but I'd be curious to hear some ...

I have just started seeing a psychotherapist and she says what is happening to me is depersonalization/derealization. I thought i would come to the forum and read others stories. I am a bit confused as to why this is happening...but aren't we all??? We are going back in time and i am telling my story to her to see where something might have triggered it. My symptoms are a "fish bowl" like view of the ...

I notice BPD people still tend to do well in things such as jobs and school, it's mainly just personal relationships that suffer. Why is that?

So, lately, I've been switching a lot more (because of my dad returning...) and when I come "back" the first thing my friend says to me is "*Insert Alter's Name Here* was out." and then my other friend will look at her like she's crazy and say something along the lines of "How did you know that? (S)he was only out for ten minutes?!"

So, apparently to some people when I switch it's completely obvious ...

In my spare time, I mess around with GIMP (think photoshop, but free) and I'm at the point where I'm not sure what to do, so I'm looking for suggestions for what to create. Also, if you could contribute an image it'd be helpful, but it isn't required.

Thanks!

Post go bye bye

The only girl I've ever loved, and the worst I've ever hurt.

I hurt her terribly after she got raped and couldn't live with my self, I was up for 3 days on amphetamines and drew this picture right before I popped another lethal dose.

I love her always and forever, but shes better off with out me.

Hello Everyone,

I am new here and I am a little scared to be honest...
I mean, I didn't realize I had a serious problem until a little while. I was always in denial...even when I hid it for the first time I still thought that I could completely stop whenever I wanted to. And unfortunately - that hasn't happened to me as of yet. I am currently sitting here with a glass of cider ...

I believe it started around when I was 15. My teacher at the time was an angry guy who would give some students special treatment (specifically, girls). I was once punished by that teacher for some misconduct in the schoolyard, which heavily influenced the grades I got on the following test. The test itself was easy, the grades he gave me was biased and unfair. I sought revenge by puncturing all his car tires, breaking ...
