Good morning sincerely everyone,

I would like to ask for advice, maybe I will get some answers. I am 35 years old, I have many psychiatric problems - the main one is psychotic personality structure with anxiety disorder, I also went through psychotic episodes, once a severe neurosis with neurospasms, for several years delusions, depressive episodes, autistic problems since birth and holistic developmental disorder. I have been in treatment for sixteen years. I have completed ...

I have been working with my current therapist for almost 3 years and have made TREMENDOUS progress. But there are 2 problems I'm having that he admits he doesn't know how to help me with. I've asked him if there are any discussion groups/support groups etc. that he can join to bounce ideas off colleagues. He said no. He said it's partially because of HIPAA which makes sense, but nevertheless, I simply can't believe he's ...

Hi. So, I guess a little context is needed here for anyone reading this. I am a 20-year-old male, in my second year of law school. I have been struggling since I started college a year ago, particularly with studying. I tend to avoid studying when I have the time, and I crumble under pressure. I don't know how to explain it, but let's take an example: I have two exams in two days, and ...

I'm approaching a crisis state and I need someone to talk me down but every mental health hotline I call has a recording saying my call "may be recorded for quality or training purposes".

Really? Am I alone in not wanting my very personal issues broadcast and dissected in some training classroom? Even if it was just one administrator listening that still seems like an invasion of privacy to me. I can assume this is ...

You can delete my account after this. I posted this on reddit but it has been automatically removed by reddit filter and I really don't know who else to ask. I'm just going to copy/paste the message that wrote ...

All my life I have been afraid of burning alive in a car or bus crash. I don't drive but I take the bus because I need to.

There was that bus crash in italy where it caught fire a few months ago and I happened to pass on the same highway a day earlier. While I was afraid of burning before, I am now even more terrified.

I also did a stupid thing and ...

I'm struggling with anxiety and perfectionism at work. This has been a recurrent issue and is probably my most persistent problem.

I work compiling invoices for my job. I have a junior colleague who deals with the more straightforward, smaller cases whereas I deal with the more complex, high value work. I help my junior colleague with queries and claiming money on the cases.

in June 2021 I was diagnosed with breast cancer and needed ...

Why do I prefer to lose the whole of something rather than just part of it? For example, if I'm half an hour late for bed because of work, I start zapping and losing several hours under the pretext that I've already lost time.

Sometimes there'll be a private fantasy, or thought, that's part of my life, then if I speak it, or say something about in the wrong way, it's as if I give away its hiding place, or kill it.

I've heard people say that each time we remember something we change it, I feel some things I do are infected, when I perform them wrong to another. It's as if forever after I see it in ...
