this is a question I've been sitting with some time, and I've come to the answer "no". but that's only me because 1-I don't have much of a social life 2-my alters take care of their situation so people in those situation see only the alter that takes care of a given situation. 3- there is an idea in my system that "nobody has to know".

Was wondering how each of you feel about animals?
For example, do you like animals? Have pets? Would you ever hurt an animal for pleasure? What are your opinions on doing so? Stuff like that. I've seen some posts of people hurting/killing animals or wanting to so it made me wonder.

Well, in the month I've known about my schizophrenia, it seems to have created a trainwreck of events one after another. I'm not looking for pity or anything, I just gotta vent. I trusted my ex-fiancee with my deepest thought, thoughts no one should hear, and she got me thrown in the hospital, and was violent to me again, broke up without saying goodbye, stole my family, my possessions, and my home. The worst thing ...

The Illusions of Psychiatry, by Marcia Angell (part 2 of 2)

"... Here I discuss the American Psychiatric Association’s Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)—often referred to as the bible of psychiatry, and now heading for its fifth edition—and its extraordinary influence within American society. I also examine Unhinged, the recent book by Daniel Carlat, a psychiatrist, who provides a disillusioned insider’s view of the psychiatric profession. And I discuss the widespread use ...
