I'm not schizophrenic and have never had symptoms of it. But I thought this would be the best place to ask this. Sometimes, I see things in the corner of my eye, like shadows or lights. Sometimes it's movement. It's things that suprise me, I look quickly and nothing is there. It's enough to startle me. Happens once every few days. Almost yelled at my mom to stop when I thought something was on the ...

I wanted to share a couple of songs that help me...
---------------
This is a song I wrote a few years ago (long before I knew I had BPD):

Silent Cry

Lord, please hear my cry, as silently I cry out to You
Lord, please feel my tears, as invisibly they form like morning dew
Lord, please rescue me or I will surely die
For I've fallen deep into a pit, and here lifelessly I ...

I was just recently married. We were married far away on another planet. So my new wife and I have decided to have a reception here where we live for our friends that did not have a chance to go to the wedding.

My last post was almost a year ago. This was it:

I have been married for 4 years now to a wonderful man, but through these four years, he has accused me of cheating on him over one hundred times. These delusions have at times been so real to him that he called me names and was prepared to confront the man he thought I was with. He in not comfortable leaving me alone or ...

I can only vaguely remember when it all started, when I was very small. I used to take a bath twice a week, and my dad always sat on a chair next to the bath tub, reading his newspaper. Sometimes he would get in the bathtub as well, and pull me very close to him so that I could feel his parts against me. Much more happened in the years following. I left the house ...

Hi, this post may be long so I apologize ahead of time.

I have been with my girlfriend for 1 1/2 years. When we first got together, she mentioned to me that she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She has not taken any medication since we have been together except for a few times when she was completely stressed out. I was stupid and didn't do much research on the illness and pretty much ...

I'm 19 and was diagnosed with Aspergers a year ago. I never had a girlfriend but from 13 onwards I've always seem to have an attraction for girls who look like famous pop singer Rachel Stevens

Is this normal with men who have Aspergers to only have an obession with one type of girl because I do like her very much and I get nervous around girls I think do look like her mainly if ...
