First one was another long distance relationship where things with my father were bad (physical and verbal abusive)and I talked about that with her too much that she got so tired of me that she ...

Been in love?

Sometimes I think I am, or have felt the feeling. Yet in a little while it seems to "Wear Off" and I feel dead inside/numb again like usual.

Than I get disgusted with myself thinking that I am that exceedingly shallow. And want to die.


Anyone know what I mean?

I had a friend many years ago who made me feel inadequate. She would pretend as if it was my fault that our friendship wasn`t good enough. This made me very insecure, and she actually made me believe or enhance my own feelings of inadequacy.

Just got out of a 2 month relationship and looking for insight.
I am 29 she is 26

Trais she has;
1. Not shy at all, when i first met her she was abrasive and uncomfortably forward. Took me home with her the first night despite having long term "close friends she hadn't seen in years who were only in town for one night. The only one's who seemed akward were her freinds and I. ...

Any tips, movies, blogs, other links, etc, etc. would be deeply appreciated! :)

How does it work for you? How quickly? What triggers it?

I am in a coffee shop now. There was this woman sitting next to me on a laptop. She asked me "hey, you have a mac- can you look at this?" I felt slightly flattered that I was being asked my opinion, and thought that she had a very unique style. Then she showed me some weird thing that wasn't working on her computer, ...

Hello,

So my name is Paul and I'm new to this forum. I'm not sure if this is the proper place to intro myself. I did look for general introduction thread but gave up pretty quickly. The section is the reason I'm here. Just to get some insight into a few things as I am slight bewildered at the moment.

I was tired of my poor social skills. I have so many acquaintances but very ...

I need treatment for my bipolar/psychosis symtoms, but I fear fully developing severe side-effects such as Tardive Dyskinesia(TD), which I already have minor permanent complications from, while taking anti-psychotics, as well as increasing the severity of my psychosis permanently!

I have severe mood swings, crippling paranoia, and I've got occasional visual hallucinations. I've been off my meds for awhile and was for a short-time I was on a cocktail of Risperdal, along with a mood-stabilizer, ...
