The internets have taught me that their is humor in all things. So it helped transform me into a complete asshole. My dad gave me a long speech the other day on why I shouldn't laugh at kids with cancer. Like it matters if you hurt the feelings of someone whose gonna die in a few days am i rite?

Hello, Im new to this forum so please bear with me.

My husband has this friend whos wife Im most certain suffers from HPD. She is manipulative, has told blatant lies about those closest to her, pushes up her tiny breasts to riduclous heights and always wears (and sometimes shows off) thong underwear...but I could go on.

My thing is earlier last summer when his friend first started dating her, (yes they are married already ...

Antipsychotics / Neuroleptics For Mental Disorders - Comments




In terms of antipsychotics / neuroleptics meant for the treatments of mental disorders , clinical evidences actually indicate that those troubled with mental disorders, especially the serious ones, shouldn't just rely solely upon the medications as the one and only means of solution to their mental problems.

Is not how I should be treating my wife, but during these times, I can't seem to snap out of it.

I'm new here.. figured I could find a group to talk with and not necessarily find any cures or answers, because after being diagnosed nearly 15 years ago, I've been through enough hospitals, meds and manic episodes to know I'm just a rat in an evergrowing cage.

Current meds include zoloft, xanax er and ...

What do you call it when someone is always pretending to be sick or in pain for attention/sympathy? My ex gf does this.. I realize this might be the wrong section but I don't know where else to put it.
