Hey guys, this is my first post here and I really need some help.

I've been dating my gf since November 15. A few days after we became official my best friend from Orlando came up to visit. He, our other best friend, and I went to a strip club to see a classmate of mine at work. All three of us got free lapdances. I didn't think it was cheating, but I felt it ...

Docs have not told me anything about alternatives to medications. I thought of a few interesting things that helped me a lot over the past year while going med-free:

1) meditation - activation of the pineal gland have made my meditation experiences range from deep relaxation to highly visual journeys with spiritual meaning. Bottom line - greater tranquility and healthy supplement for tranquilizing meds.

2) back massages - yes, it is simple, but my wife's ...

When I reflect on my life I can see clearly the dramatic and negative impact that drugs and alcohol have had on me, and that it's a cyclic patten that comes and goes over the years. It happens with both drinking and drugs and I've finally started to map out what my pattern is and realize that the only thing in the way of my full recovery to sobriety is me.

Every time I get ...

So, my psychologist said I'm beautiful and smart. But I guess she said that to make me feel better about myself. I think she probably say to every person who go there for her help that they are "beautiful and smart", so that they will feel good.
Do you think she was lying?
I mean, If I were ugly and dumb she just wouldn't make any comments on my appearence or intellect. Or would she ...

I'm not even sure how I got in the position I'm in, and I'm not sure why i'm writing my story here on the internet. I guess in a way it makes me feel like I have someone to talk to, someone "normal" to tell me their opinion.

first, i'm a men and i'm 27yr old. i had 2 ''real'' girlfriend in my life. first, I was with Kate from 16yr old to 18yr old. ...

I am heavy. *edited* to be precise. (i'm sorry to break the primary rule of the page but I feel this is vital to the story)
I am 22 years old and have suffered with binging/purging since i was 17. I was always a large child and come from a VERY large family. My weight at 17 was *edited*. I had a child at 18 and straight after was repulsed by my body and needed ...

I was just wondering if anyone here has been totally successful in finding/ managing some sort of at home or online job.
I worked for a while and did pretty well but found that I seemed to take that to the extreme and made myself worse for a time in the process. I really want to feel some sort of accomplishment and like I am being productive. I just am not sure how or where ...

Lately I have had very sexual intrusive thoughts regarding mainly pet. Sometimes family. But mainly the ones with pets sometimes cause physical sensations. I do have OCD so I know it happens. But my issue is that ever since they got bad,I can not...well...masturbate? I feel if I do then it's because the thought caused arousal. When I usually want to,I think of normal sexual things that would turn a person on. But is it ...

Hey everyone..

I very rarely have flashbacks and PTSD symptoms. I've been through a lot but I guess I've handled it by giving the pain of it to someone else (mostly Eliesa) or worked through it more naturally. But I had a nightmare last night and have been having flashbacks this entire morning..

*trigger warning for specific abuse*
I know it's not that bad but honestly, this freaks me out a bit. It's my owm ...

Has anyone else ever tried to join this site? Apparently only 24% of Americans that think they are 'beautiful' enough to make the cut are actually voted in as being attractive enough by the current users to join the site.

Being a narc, I was of course admitted entry.. 8) ..albeit I can imagine it would have been quite the blow having been rejected.

I figured it ...
