News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

I totally blipped over this whole introduction thing....

My bad.

I'm SmileXx... or Sami, if you want to get friendly with it.
I'm... complicated is the term Shrink A uses, and Shrink B says I'm "Borderline and Bipolar, with the capacity to have more diagnosis pending further study" (taken from my shrink's notes)-.
In truth, I'm not 100% sure that either shrink is sure of a definite diagnosis for me.
They just tend to treat ...

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum but I really need some kind of advice. I live about 45 minutes away from Atlantic City. My boyfriend and I turned 21 last year and spent most of our winter gambling just out of boredom. We learned how to play blackjack really well and sometimes won $1000 or so and thought it was great. After a while I got bored with it and we began losing way ...

Hello everyone, my name is Callis.

Right, why am I here? Two reasons really, one is work, and the other is personal.

Work: I recently started working for a new company, who offer vocal motivational downloads and advice via your phone or PC (UK based btw). I'm currently networking out and talking to people related to therapy, life coaching and motivation, whether it be a therapist, someone who uses therapy, or anyone really. And just ...

hello all, so this is my story, i may be wrong but im guessing i was destined to write an entry on this site the minute i found a brown envelope with h.m.s written on it. i was 13 years old and it was at the back of the school playing field, inside were (yes you guessed it) 4 pornographic magazines and there my fascination with my penis and the female form dod begin.
I ...

Hi, I joined this forum as my last hope to stop this embarrassing addiction of mine. I am now 19 and unfortunately, have been exposed, accidentally, to inappropriate (pornographic) material at a very young age (about 5 years ago, when I was just 14!)

This accident (of viewing such stuff) has caused a big problem. At that age of 14~15, I didn't realise that what I was doing can lead to a real addiction. Initially, ...

Hi...

I've been posting in the Bi-Polar forum but I had an episode last night where I wanted to cut but ended up just scratching the hell out of my arms and when things went from bad to worse today, I ended up slicing my leg.

I'm not sure what do. I have a long history of having episodes where I self harm but this was the first time in a long time that it's ...

I definitely have other personalities. They have names, they have their own ways of seeing the world. Sometimes they fully take over, but for the most part I and another will be conscious at the same time. Thing and Aislinn take over the most, and although Thing is more aggressive, Aislinn is stronger. But only once have I had any kind of related amnesia, and it was a short period of time one morning. I ...

I've been through a really bad time lately. I got suspended from my job for threatening someone with a bowl of pasta, then got laid off from my job because my bosses were totally mismanaging my program. Then I had a panic attack and got booted from my next job after 2 days. So I finally decided to try paxil. My doc said it was a good idea to try. I noticed some annoying side ...

I don't know how to start this off, so I'll just start by telling you some of my problems.

1. I have BDD. I haven't looked at myself in a mirror or my pictures in months, maybe years. The times I've done it in the past, I've gone into fits of rage and became very suicidal. I can't even look at my parents or sister. I can sometimes look at my father. I think it ...

No offense to anyone here, but I can't help but be extremely angered and annoyed by pathological/compulsive liars. How do you react to them? Do you find them annoying? Do you sympathize for them?
