So I was reading this article on BPD/NPD mothers and infantilization of children or one child. This puts the finger on what I could not give a description to. My mother treats me like I am 4 years old. It's not obvious; I feel like I am shooting in the dark most of the time with my mother. Only now and then do I get glimpses of honesty. Most of the time I hear it ...

Why is it even in a anonymous forum I still find it so hard to talk?!
I been seeing my T for a year now twice a wk, so in effect as he informs me we have done 2 yrs worth of work in one yr! But I still find it virtually impossible to find a voice with him!!!
I go to therapy knowing I need to talk, wanting to talk, desperate to find a ...

Hi.
I don’t even know where to start. I apologize for the long text.
I was born a female 31 years ago. I was adopted because I was a female. My mother had 2 boys, much much older than me. I was adopted with 1 hour of age, and my brothers were over 20 at the time.
My dad wasnt at home much and left my mother for another woman when I was 5. I ...

This is my first time ever doing something like this, I spose it's just that wanting to know, more confirmation really. I've had several 'tics' for as long as I can remember, or at least as young as 3 or 4, I'm 17 now, these include twitching my throat, swallowing, blinking and winking, muscle twitching (pectorals, biceps and legs), jaw clenching and making clicking noises with my throat. There hasn't really been a time in ...

Don't know if I've termed this correctly but I have absolutely no interest whatsoever in having sex, I do have certain paraphillias but these aren't sexual much.

I am attracted to women but don't want to have sex with them, I am not impotent and do masterbate so there's isn't anything physically wrong with me.

I have had sex with 6 different women when I was 18 and 19 but even then wasn't really into ...

Hey everyone :) :) does anyone else have a npd? If so do you find it complicates life?!!

My familiarity with Hikikomori is limited to fiction like Welcome to the NHK and wikipedia. I have pondered if there was any correlation between hikikomori and schizoids as viewed through lenses of differing cultures, but there isn't a great deal of research into the subject.

I did find this somewhat interesting: http://books.google.com/books?id=aqRsKP ... &q&f=false

I'm curious if anyone else has any thoughts.

Hi again!
I went through a depressive episode starting mid September and ending late November. It got pretty bad and had to go on antidepressants for it (Started mid October and I'm still on them. Low dose, but I'm quite sensitive to meds). Starting December I started getting symptoms of hypomania (racing jumbled thoughts, uncomfortable amounts of energy, periods of euphoric moods and periods of wanting to crawl out of my own skin). I've been ...

After 11 days of sobriety - the first 11 days in years - I relapsed today.

I posted some ads on Craigslist and looked at escort websites with the intention of procuring services.

I masturbated for three hours non-stop to porn.

These three things are all self-defined bottom lines. I knew it would happen. Maybe it's cus I woke up feeling depressed, I don't know.

But now I'm back to the beginning and I feel ...
