Okay...this is really, really long, but I've just came to this realization and need to figure out what to do about it, if anything needs to be done. Any feedback would be great. Thank you!!!

So, I think I may be in an emotionally abusive relationship. I've done some research on it, and a lot of the signals add up, but I'm just looking for some other opinions.

Some background, because I feel it's important: ...

Hello all. This older post is somewhat unusual, in that it addresses relationships with both significant others with BPD and also those with HPD. But in any case, it better fits our Significant Others, Family and Friends forum, so I am moving it to that location, leaving a shadow thread in the BPD forum, in case any folks with BPD have insights they would like to contribute. Thanks all, moderator Orion

Hey....... I'm getting pretty tired of the meaningless blows.......... I wish I could kill myself, but I know deep down I'll never be able to do it. Its frustrating, really.

Hi, I am 16 yrs old and I was diagnosed with anorexia a few months ago. I spent 2 weeks in hospital and gained 4kg in 2 weeks (that was bad enough). I have to go and have doctors appointments every week to be weighed and to make sure I'm not losing weight... the problem is I started water loading and putting weights in my undies to make everyone think I was gaining weight so ...

I would like to start this off by saying that I know there are sadist here on this forum and that I mean no offense to them for their particular paraphilias.



So I never really considered myself a sexual sadist. By that I mean sexual pain, humiliation and torture never really turned me on. However, the other day I was reading a book about serial killers and there was a transcript of an audiotape made ...

Families suck.

And that's about all that can be said about them...

People that love their families should be shot in the head for stupidity...

So yea. They suck. I know mine does.

Hi all,

I have 2 questions.

1. Does anyone know if tryptophan (found in turkey and used to be sold in the USA as a supplement until it was banned) can help relieve depression? Is it safe to say that eating turkey can help you with depression?
2. Is tryptophan or 5-HTP an effective depression cure?

My basic understanding is that after eating a Thanksgiving meal, the tryptophan in turkey gets converted into a neurotransmitter ...

Dear All,

Let me try to explain what I've been going through. Maybe someone can help me out. :)

I've been dating a lovely girl for the past two weeks. She's pretty, has a great body, is funny, naughty, etc.
So why do I have a hard time getting an erection? Sometimes it all starts well but then I start thinking I won't get a decent erection ...

I sometimes find myself watching people and laughing at their odd little habits. Have you ever noticed the funny panic face people do when they're only halfway across the road and the green man starts to flash? This is usually accompanied by a little jog. It's also funny when they miss the bus. They look around them and use great, sweeping gestures and complain loudly to everyone in earshot, eager for someone to notice and ...
