News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

I know this is double posting but I hope I'll be forgiven. I always thought there are particularly good vibes on this forum. So here again....

This is perhaps old news for some but I reckon it's a good start to break certain mainstream taboos that regrettably still exist.

(Btw as far as I know I'm not suffering from any mental illness, but have several cases in my direct family, close friends and work relations.)

This is the first time i have ever posted on any forum site, let alone divulged my innermost thoughts (those which i can somehow manage to verbalise, at any rate), to total strangers. All I can say is thank goodness I cannot see you. I hope that's not offensive - I simply find it horribly difficult to talk about myself to anyone, especially when they are in front of me. I usually cry, feel like ...

I went into my job feeling like I could just fit in being a quiet person and that would be OK. It seemed to work for a while, 6 months maybe then I found a few people in the office suddenly started quite rude remarks about/to me.

I have one person who seemed to be on a mission to be as obstructive, rude and difficult as he possible can be by refusing to cooperate with ...

I don’t know how to write something like this. I have never confessed my story to anyone, or at least not all of it. This is hard. I’m so sorry if this triggers anyone. That is not my intention. I just so desperately need these words out of me.
I was born into abuse. My parents were drug addicts. My father was an alcoholic, and frequently high on heroin and cocaine. My mother was a ...

So being this way, (Schizoid, introverted, 'loner' - whatever you wanna call it) means I have a lot of spare time on my hands, as I barely socialise and spend most of my time alone. Sometimes I find myself with nothing to do - nothing's on tv, the internet is boring me etc. Sometimes when this happens I like to just lie on my bed and stare up at the ceiling and think. But sometimes ...

I'm sure you guys have noticed I've been gone for about a week!

NO, I wish it had been a vacation, it has been a nasty cold that progressed into the full blown flu/stomach bug.

I'm on the mend, but I wanted to let you guys know that I'm back, and that I've missed you all!

I will be checking on each of you this evening when I get back from work, and if you ...

Hello everyone ...

My psychiatrist augmented my dose of Abilify to 25 mg recently, and I am starting to feel numb again. Moreover, it is having no effects on the symptoms it is supposed to help me manage whatsoever. Between my dad (who thinks I have DID), my psychiatrist (who thinks I'm schizophrenic), my friend Annabelle (who believes I should go to university mental health research centers), my psychologist (who treats Ralph in a kind ...

Hi all.
I registered on here a few years ago but I haven't actually been on the forum since. I've been keeping busy. I really don't know where to start. I've been doing really well. Diagnosed with depression and PTSD around 8 or 9 years ago. Made a mess of a lot of things up until very recently. In the last couple of years things seemed to somewhat fall in to place, to the point ...

Shes staying at our house for a couple of days, without her husband.

2 years ago I used to live with her and my little brother(she was sort of our legal guardian while my mom was away). I was 16. Her fiance used to come over a lot. Seemed like a cool dude, relatively shy, but cool. Then one night, my cousin came home extremely late, from work I believe, and her bf had been ...
