Hi,

Many people find themselves in situations that are painful and hard to get through.

I was raped. The only catch? I'm male!

The reason why I registered on this forum is, though we are rare, I would like to ventilate my feelings about the the matter and help in anyway. My goal.

I have a story to tell and I wish other males would be able to benefit by this forum. ...

I began a relationship with a woman -- Sonia -- a year and a half ago. To me Sonia demonstrates all of the characteristic behaviors described in the definition of DSM's dependent personality disorder.

I'm just curious as to how old everyone is.

hi
basically i need your (anyone's) opinion on whether i have schizophrenia or not. i'm 17, have never had a gf, no longer have any close friends and i've always been kinda strange and a bit 'different'. my shrink says i have ocd, depression and mild asperger's syndrome, but lately i've been really worried that i might have schizophrenia. my uncle has it (apparently after he got heavily involved with drugs) and i heard that ...

Tonight is my night off from work. What am I doing with this day? Listening to music in my apartment by myself. Half of me is happy there are no people around to bother me and the other half is bordering on depressed. I know that my being alone is entirely my fault. That depresses me more.
