I'm 24, a virgin by choice and religion. I commit celibacy before i get married, and i'm not married yet.
The first indication of sexual harassment is if you're feeling uncomfortable with the interaction. And i do feel violated and uncomfortable, i've been having nightmares about it, i feel dirty, some previous years ago i even try to hurt my breasts as a kind of punishments for being sinful. And to make things worse, i ...

How can I obtain self esteem, when I know I'm mentally ill, and worthless to society, at this stage of my life?

I wrote my first poem ever. I feel stupid writing it, but it's about my own fears and overcoming them so I can seek mental help.

Anyway, I've worked with a cousin in a real estate business for about 7 years. Recently I had an epiphany and realized that just about all my clients and deals through the years have come through her. I've hardly gotten any myself. I ...

I'm currently on 100mg of Zoloft and for anxiety. Lately, I've been feeling this kind of fuzzy-headedness. It's strange...and very distracting. I find I'm distracted very easily...and very spacey.

I'm wondering if this is part of the derealization I was experiencing before...or if maybe it's the medication.

Also, I read a site recently that startled me a bit: http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlse ... ed.0020392
