so i've come to realize that the song Fast Car by Tracy Chapman almost always gives me those sudden headaches, which is an indication that I may switch away.....

has anyone had a specific song that triggers them and if so, is there any way to maybe make it better?
It's just really annoying to be cuddling with someone who has their music on random, and then that song comes on and im instantly sick ...

Sometimes I think I would be better off if I could leave all moral concerns behind me. I'm not religious and I don't (even try to) derive any moral principles from philosophy.
But still I have all these concerns that restrict me. I would never cheat in exams and once I even left out a question although I knew the answer because I thought the question was not a valid measure for knowledge of the ...

That's what I'm really bad at, asking others for help/favours.
I know that others do that without thinking. Whenever we have a course like statistics or programming I suddenly have lots of friends, because many people want to study with me. I never refuse because it ensures me I'm not in other people's debt. And I think my own grades benefit, because without that I wouldn't study at all for subjects I'm good at.
But ...

I have no idea what to do. Hes has been exhibiting text book paranoid schizophrenic behavior for 8-9 months that is getting dramatically worse....fast. I, along with one other friend, have both been noticing his obsessive paranoia develop further and further from reality and finally realized what it is.

It started with him telling us that he was dating a girl that he worked with, who he then found out had a boyfriend, who is ...

I just want to let all of you know who are in the worst of your situations that if you get out, stay out, and fight through it you will be happier than you have ever been. 6 months ago when I first discovered this site I was a wreck. I almost got back with my ex because I was actually worried he would make my life more miserable without him than with him. In ...

When I was born my mom couldn't come up with a name for me for 3 days because I was supposed to be a girl. I have never met my father, but his name was supposed to be Chris and his parents owned some hardware stores in St. Louis, MO. He told ...

Has anyone has issues with depersonalisation and loss of self-image and identity after the Landmark Forum?

I find I am far too inwardly focused sometimes, almost completely in my head, or almost completely out of it.

The Landmark Forum may have whacked my self image around a little too much.

Another symptom is I don't feel I am operating from the same psychological base as the common person. As a result of continually trying to ...

Good Evening,

I do not even know where to begin. I am 28 years old and I think there is a chance I am bipolar. I was put on Lumectal (I think that is the spelling) a couple of years ago. To control seizures from a Conversion Disorder and was told it might control some manic behavior. However, they never diagnosed anything other than the conversion disorder. I stopped taking the meds almost a year ...

I've been obsessed with a girl for 4 years now. It's never been anything too serious, like stalking, but I still think it's weird. Recently, she found out about this becaus I kept pictures of her on my Zune and somebody showed her while I was at work. Now when I see her I feel scared and cold so I avoid her, which is difficult becuse I like to see her when I can. I've ...
