When I was younger, all of my tics were purely physical. I was a very fidgety child. Until about a year ago that was it, but now it's become verbal. I'm only fourteen, so I'm a little ...

And as I feel my blood run cold,
I know this is the beginning of a very long night.

Ok, Well I have never posted anything like this before. I will just try to explain how I feel and how I see myself and everything. I appologise if I seem to go on, I am not very good at expressing myself.

Well best to start with the fact of I have next to no self confidence but an over bearing self doubt.

Has anyone confronted, or written to their ab*ser?

There's been some research that if offenders are confronted with the reality of what it's done to the survivor, they are more likely to change and not reoffend.

Don't worry, I won't write 'I want to kill you and these are the ways I've considered doing it...' ...

My boyfriend of almost two years was just diagnosed with Schizophrenia in April. Mental illness runs in his family like wildfire....but up until his symptoms started(about 6 weeks before being hospitalized) he thought that he was in the clear since being the age of 38.

He is my world. I would do anything for him. But the thing is...I am in Michigan...and he is in Texas. He is living there taking care of his father ...

Hi everyone, my name is Nick. I don't know if this is the correct forum to place this under but it has to do with abuse from within a religious community that is Christian.

I'm a 33 year old male who is a Christian. I went to a religious college that was from a conservative but mainstream Christian denomination to become a Youth Pastor when I was 19 until 24 years of age.

During those ...

Hi I'm 26 years of age. I live in the UK. I grew up without my father. I've never met him and have no idea where or who he is. My mother raised myself and my twin brother on her own until we were 2 years old, when she met her current husband. I had a lot of difficulty establishing a relationship with her partner from a very young age and only recently have been ...

I teach Adults (English as a Second Language) and have always had a very difficult time with anxiety when class begins and more or less throughout the day. I'm OK BEFORE and AFTER class, when students are not present, but the moment one or two start to trickle in in the morning, I get the heart-race, hyperventilation, hyperness, etc. And if I'm not 100% prepared for the day (with all my copies made and almost ...
