News of Significant Others, Family & Friends Forum

Most of the posts here are from food addicts themselves. Mine will be from the husband of one.

First off let me say that nobody knows what it is like to live with someone whose eating is out of control. Even our friends and families have NO idea what my wife is like 'behind closed doors.' (Although one of her friends did remark to me recently that she is 'huge and should be ashamed of ...

I don't know if I should be posting here, I'm asking for help, support, encouragement, but most of all, an understanding. I'm in a crisis, I am desperate and feel like throwing myself off a bridge (not literally, but you know). Please bare with me, I'm not good at explaining things in short. And please be easy on me, I'm broken and hypersensitive.

I moved to Germany 6 years ago to be with my now ...

I don't know how to communicate all of my confusion, but I'll try. A few weeks ago I met and started dating a woman, she's 26, with BPD. She was pretty upfront about it. She seemed to be actively working on keeping her disorder as manageable as possible. I respected that, I even bought a book so that I could better understand BPD. By nature, I'm honest, dependable, consistent, very even tempered, positive and fun. ...

Hi everyone, I am posting this into a couple of forums in the hope of finding some advice. I looked through the forum but in the end decided to start a new thread because I don't want anything I say to be taken the wrong way. It has recently been discovered that my niece, 27, is a self-harmer. In brief, they are on suicide watch. Having helped a close friend get through similar with her ...

I am in a very scary marriage with an abusive man. In the midst of getting away, but I am trying to figure out what/who I am dealing with. I know something is wrong. I have been reading about sociopaths and it seems more extreme than my husbands behavior, but maybe not.

Some traits he DOES exhibit:
-Lack of empathy & shallow emotions. Will call me names, put me down/hurt my feelings and the next ...

Hi,

I'm bipolar and I've been struggling with this question for a while. I'm posting this here and not in the BP forum, because I think responses from nons would be more relevant.

I recently considered donating egg cells. But when I looked around the website, I realised that you have to provide a pretty detailed account of your genetic material - for obvious reasons. And it immediately put me off the idea - because ...

This helped me as an ACON

We met in tenth grade at a private school in the US. We are both 25 years old. His father is a wealthy businessman. We have remained in contact but we only contact and see each other occasionally now. I am concerned that he has either killed somebody or will kill somebody in the future.

I just have this horrible intuition that this person is sociopathic and potentially very dangerous. I will highlight some of ...

All,
For the past 5 months I've been dating a woman who I believe has HPD. More specific, she has been diagnosed with it by a qualified professional. She is in total denial about it though, and claims that the test was bogus. She criticizes the testing methods and questions whether it's even a real disorder. She currently is in therapy. Her current therapist has told her that she(the therapist) does not even believe in ...

What steps would I need to take to get my narc back? Do I have to be a better narcissistic supplier than what he is already getting from my replacement?

He will always be in a relationship just to be in one, regardless if there is love or not. We broke up because he had to move away for a job and I was too scared to go with him otherwise I’m sure we’d still ...
