My girlfriend's mother has been exhibiting some rather odd behavior over the last 2-3 years.

At first, I took most of her idiosyncrasies with a grain of salt for two reasons: 1) She is from Korea and I chalked things up to small cultural differences and 2) she was very religious (Catholic, to be precise). She used to have the weirdest notions about religion. She once brought out a globe and told me a story ...

So, I've been seeing someone for a little over a month. She has bipolar ii, and has been on Seroquel for about 5 years now.

She had an appointment today to see her doctor, or at least she thought she did; her doctor is out of town, and won't be able to see her for 6 weeks. Her Seroquel runs out in 6 days. She's with her family now, in Montanta (where her doctor would ...

My boyfriend has both ocd and ocpd sympotoms,and Im reading that ocd and ocpd dont share symptoms???...living together 4 months,dating a year.He told me he "became OCD" after his M.S. wife died a couple of yrs ago.She was bedridden 16 yrs and he took care of her needs,holding her tremoring head while feeding,caths,diapers,etc.Certainly made sense that it could cause some anxiety.But his mom recently told me he's always been that way,even in childhood.(His mom has ...

I practice compulsive camoflauging. My preoccupation is my freckles. I use a lot of foundation and concealer to camoflauge them. I started around 12, and I used to get in trouble in school for wearing it because it was against school policy to wear cosmetics to school. In high school, I was bullied mercilessly and endlessly for it and a group of girls would sing the "Cover Girl" jingle anytime we had an encounter. I ...

Hi,

I've been lurking for a few days and after reading a few posts I am now quite curious about something. This is directed towards those whom have been "diagnosed". Why were you diagnosed with AsPD? Did you go into therapy for something else and have a run in with a particularly insightful doctor? Was it a run in with the law? I more would simply like to know what drove you to a professional ...

I recently have been diagnosed with BPD and also had the end of a two year relationship fall apart. I know looking back that 95% of the problems we had were because of my problem. I know that I need help and am seeking it. I love this girl greatly and wonder if anyone out there ever has had much luck with fixing relationships after fixing themselves. I know that I cant even try to ...

Aware of my place in the scheme
Taken up with those always put down

Watching where the crowd is going
Moving, but without a direction

I think to escape thoughts unchanging
Rewinding the clock to lose time remaining

Muted voice with blackened eyes
Same as what I am inside
Scorched churches with skies of ash
Nothing here to seek or save

I can always look back and pick regrets
Will I find my purpose? Meaning? ...

Goddess of flesh impertinent in your image
God of reason has lost his sense of being
What is seen and what is felt do not coincide
Mother the chaos known so well from inside
Foster every sentiment
Internalize the cage

A gentle reproach
A harsh reminder
The naked truth evading the mirror of doubt
I have seen her face but his distracts the visage
Who can marry iron and clay

Shiva comes to destroy the ...

Has anyone with HPD on here ever had conversion disorder? If so what happened? What is your story? I've read on here about somatization but haven't seen anything on conversion disorder.
