i swear i think this is true of my HPD...always when with her when i shared something she sucked up every ounce of what i was saying like a very interested 'student'...i'd tangent in my wonderful bipolar style which hardly anyone can understand let alone want to pay attention to...i'd go all over the place when stoned...i'd get lost in what i was saying...and , by golly , she knew exactly the thread of the ...

Hi ,
I'm a 39 year old guy who needs to get some social phobias sorted out. I may have multiple phobias and I'm interested to hear peoples opinions on what issues they think I may have and how best to improve the situation. A little background info: I am not a very confident person, I grew up with a happy family life, both my parents were loving and never fought and they are still ...

I know some HPD's are pretty wild.........but

My HPD (from long ago) says she threw herself at Mr. Wonderful just because he was hot..........

And it was just a one-time thing..........

Hi everyone,

For a long time now, I have known that I suffer through depression, social anxiety, irrational thinking/fears/behaviours etc. I have been to a few therapists and counselors at medical health centers for it.

Hi, I was put on Depakote on the 17th of December, and have had my period from the 18th, all the way until now, the 19th of January. I have had a few days of normalcy in between, but, then right back to bleeding. I haven't heard about this as a side effect, so was wondering if anyone had encountered a similar situation. Thanks :)

So, I'm new here. I have a grocery list of psych problems, but I'll spare you the sob story. Basically I don't leave my house at all anymore. Not for therapy or anything. I used to leave for therapy and to get my prescriptions though. My question is, what do those of you who can't leave the house at all do to keep your medications current? Typically you have to see your psychiatrist every month ...

Hi. This is my first post. I am having a real difficult problem right now and I think I might have avpd. I just wanted to tell my story and see if anyone can relate at all.

When I was a small child, I was diagnosed with severe learning disabilities and told by supposed experts that I could never learn to read and that I would never be able to succeed in college or have ...
