I was wondering if there was a name for this, or if anyone else has something similar.

I can't control my mind. For example, I go for hours where all I can hear in my mind is the lyrics to a random song. No matter how hard I try, I can't "take control" of my mind and think about other things. It's like my mind is a puzzle, and at its best I can only ...

We constantly focus on the "image" of how we want people to see us because we're afraid of people seeing us the way we see ourselves. We don't want people to see our "truth".

Thats why I think another problem people with AVP have is perfectionism. We want everything as perfect as possible around us because we've got a messed up idea that it will make us happy, or at least give other people the ...

For the past few years I've been trying on and off to induce lucid dreaming, but because I'm bipolar, I've utterly failed: my motivation swings from one week to the next, but for lucid dreaming, you need continuous perseverance.

Everybody who has been into lucid dreaming has found that motivation is inconstant and varies from day to day, week to week, month to month, which can sometimes lead to dry spells. But I have this ...

I had a dream last night. Though I don't really know if it was a dream because it felt more real than anything else, and it was in first person. And I never dream in first person.

I felt a strong evil force outside my bedroom window, so I open my eyes and lightning cracks, but freezes, the glowing blue light eminates through the curtains and I see a dark figure standing in my room ...

Hey Guys;

Just a quick overview;

I've been diagnosed as a patholigcal narcissistic, and recently I'm starting to have my doubts. I know Cluster B personalities overlap quite often, I'm looking at the DSM and I do follow some of those characteristics, and would like to have an alternative view of my current characteristics that also fit in Narcissism. I do realise the difference between the two, but different views can be taken on different ...

So i thought i was doing ok for a couple of weeks until tonight....me and my boyfriend got in a fight and he started ignoring me and rolling his eyes..which of course made my rage get more intense so my impulse reaction was to hit him...only i didnt stop...i pretty much beat the hell out of him and left bruises...then he left the room in tears and i felt bad so i cut myself up ...

Hi guys, just an update and a little bit of venting.

It's been 6 months now since I left. I'm still working through the divorce process and as a result I still have some contact with my ex. Every couple of weeks it is necessary to have some kind of interaction and every time, it sends me on another rollercoaster of fear and anxiety and, really, shock and hurt that he is, after all, still ...

It all started off about two years ago.. I was fourteen and was dating a boy for 2 years prior to this.... I guess you could say he wanted to know where I was every single moment of the day... It was an online relationship probably not the best choice.... Two years later we broke up... He tried stabbing himself infront of my eyes.... But I left him despite the fact... I just... Wanted freedom.... ...

I notice that a lot of people connect celibacy with spirituality which is something I really can't relate to. So I was just wondering if there are people on here who abstain for non-religious and non-spiritual reasons. I want to know your reasons and the impact it has on your life. (hopefully there is at least one person on here)

Simple question. Do you prefere animated girls/boys to real ones when you masterbate?

I find the animimated ones are.. well just that, animated, and therefor without flaw. Although i guess i view both equally, i'd still probably lean towards the animations, despite the fact that they are just that, animations. Real women just have so many flaws, its difficult to get aroused by a flawed figure, i find.
