Hello everyone, not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but I am in desperate need of some advice to better my wife's mental condition.

She is an insecure person; she talks to "show" that she isn't antisocial (I believe). I have done a little bit of research and she fits into the "Personality D" category, in fact she exhibits every single characteristic. She is very negative, always stressed, anxious, and full ...

Hi,
I wonder if any of you guys can point me in the direction of where I can find some more information about this habit I seem to have.

Hey, guys. How are you all feeling?

I just thought I'd share these two wonderful sites. They are part of a whole project, but these two pages are particularly comforting (at least for me; feel free to explore). You may have heard of them, then again maybe not, but they help me at least a tiny bit when I've nothing else.

I'm alone with my 1yo and my husband is away for the next 4 days. It feels like I'm heading toward a major crash. I'm extremely anxious and afraid, confused... I cant make it to a doctor until sometime next week and I'm under pressure at work. I can't even do my work, I'm just on another planet and so confused.

Is there anything I can do to calm down. I'm just afraid I'll harm ...

I have paranoia about being followed, but I'm not psychotic. The reason I say this is due to a prior incident that triggered my paranoia. I really was being followed at one point, and since then my paranoia has gotten worse. I don't need anti-psychotics, because I'm not psychotic. I need to be able to deal with the paranoia some other way. I don't think my life is in danger anymore, but the paranoia is ...

My friend's afraid of talking to ppl when she's on the toilet or in the shower, but she tries not to think about it, then it happens! She can't stop talking to GOD/The voice in her head(Inside her head/thinking). Then He gets angry. She says, "No, no,", clears her mind, and has done thought stopping in the past. She considers it disrespectful to sing radio songs, but she makes up her own.

HELP PLEASE!
