The Psychiatric Amendment:

A well regulated fraud, being necessary to make lots of money, the right of psychiatry to label and drug children, shall not be infringed ?

What gives them the right ?


The practices of labeling thousands of American children with psychiatric disorders and subsequently drugging them is probably one of the most atrocious crimes aganist children that has ever been allowed in the history of America. Attempts to get legislators to look ...

So a week ago, I decided to get back with my ex. We had a bizzare relationship a year and half ago but I was a bitch(I still am) cheated on him many of times and finally called it a day with him although he was no angel, often made me feel used and was far too concerned with sex. Since then I have had a few relationships but nothing too serious. After my last ...

Hi, I'm new here.

I've just been to a psychologist, and am awaiting my personality disorder test results.

There's one thing i've never got. Why would any human ever WANT to be together in a relationship with another human? This arrangement is completely incomprehensible to me.

B.T.W... This is not a cue for any beastiality jokes!!

Does anyone feel this way?

p.s... It's probably very difficult for any of you to answer this, simply because ...

Hello bipolar forum,

I first posted on the gambling addiction blog but felt like writing about my life-long struggles with something called bipolar disorder. My official diagnosis, for which I am compensated by the US Veterans Administration (100% rated) and Social Security Disability, is bipolar I (rapid-cycling) with possible psychotic features. Most of the time I'm severely depressed with periods of wild mania that is ameliorated with medication. With the exception of my prescribed meds ...

Greetings everyone,

- Edit: Talks about family issues, may trigger

Sorry to be so annoying, but it's stronger than I am. I need feedback in regards to a discussion I just had an hour ago with my dad.

I had a "fix" (I stop being aware of the passage of time, concious of what is going around) while taking the shower, for 20 minutes. The walls in the bathroom were very wet and water had ...

You people are obsessed with ideas : I should help people in other people's threads.
Who made that rule? Your elementary school teacher? Your mom?

Humans help others, so they can survive as a race,
you help others to help yourself, :selfish motivation

you are as selfish as I am, (but most of nons love to deny that and tell they are very nice unlike pds)
and it annoys the hell out of me when ...

For a couple of years now, at least once a day, in social situations such as a teacher calling on me in class or a guy i like talking to me, I blush severely to the point where I am almost purple, neck to tip of the ears like i ran a marathon. It kind of feels like I am extremely embarrassed. I try taking deep breaths but it doesn't work! How do I fix ...

I don't want to hear "law of attraction," or "it's all in your head" - neither of those two explanations are satisfactory.

Why is it that when I'm extremely depressed and fear that a "loved one" is about to abandon me that I don't hear from them for WEEKS? The abandonment manifests itself. This has happened COUNTLESS times.

When I'm super elated and everything is going well in my life, I hear from them almost ...

Since I have been trying to come to grips on my addiction. As I look at my triggers I am noticing what gives me cravings as some experiences will not leave my mind and remind me of the times I had. Its scary because it makes me fantasize about sex. I feel bad about it later but I need to work on getting these out of my head. ...

Before I start explaining things I'd thought I would give a little background info.

I have been in multiple relationships in the past couple of years (the longest lasting two months). All relationships were broken up by me (due in large part also of my fear of losing people I like, due to being ignored by friends for the greater part of my childhood, that I push people away before they can push me away). ...
