News of Psychforums : Psychology and Mental Health forum.

Last year I began a relationship in which I became obsessed with the other person. During this affair I was extremely insecure, irrational, and hyper-emotional. At the time I had very little experience, and worried that I would feel this intense with anyone I had a relationship with. I started to seek out distractions and lovers, but this did not curb my obsession for this other person and I did not become as attached.

I've been depressed for the past few weeks especially, and I began to realize that I was literally living each days as if it were my last, and then realized that I've behaved similarly. Almost if a voice in my head asks me "What if?"

I'm afraid my loved ones will die and I won't see it coming. I go to bed with my hard drive and some dry food near me, because in the ...

So I guess the first step to becoming "cured" (which according to psychology is not completely possible w/ personality disorders, but I'm here to argue that) was learning that there was a such thing as avoidant personality disorder. So, since it was a thought disorder, I learned that it was simply my own thoughts that made me "not as good as other people", or the one person on the planet that was completely disgusting and ...

Lavender and lime, as sweet as they are bitter
to see them wane and wither, is that not a crime ?

peacefull as they seem, they both share a dream
to walk upon the milky way, right into the sun...

to leave behind even one small trace of what they had begun
would that not be the same travasty as which they were running from ?

Hi there,
I'm new to the forum, but I don't know any other insomniacs and I was wondering whether anyone else was feeling the burden of being so alone during the hours of darkness? I seem so often to be the only person awake and it's extremely isolating, truth be told. So what am I supposed to do when there's nobody to alleviate the loneliness? I really wish there were more insomniacs living near me ...

Hi,

I don't know if I'm considered a victim of child or domestic or any abuse. Both of my parents were abused children, and both were violent. My father used to beat my mother and threaten to kill her with broken glass, in front of me and my siblings. After the divorce, when we visited him, he used to get drunk, every time, and get violent. He didn't hit me, but he would beat my ...

I am having a major stress out right now. Im only getting 4 hours of sleep per night since the start of this week and i have been paniky and short tempered around the family and girlfriend. My achievement level is below what is should be.

im losing it now because everyone seems to be ahead of me. I have been only a small achiever academically and i dont know why. In the past, i ...

Looks like they are really out to get me at work. My boss came in at about 1pm and told me I was being suspended for 30 days while they investigate further misconduct charged against me. I'm still facing discipline for allegedly threatening my no-good assistant with a bowl of pasta. This is some additional charge.

I hate that job so much. My lawyer says I can't quit whike under investigation. Especially with no other ...
