I have been diagnosed with bipolar for a while now, I'm on mood stabilizers and I'm usually fine but I still have days where I feel like absolute $#%^.

I don't associate these feelings with depression anymore, I really just avoid thinking so I don't blame it on something else which it isn't. However I just wish this stupid ######6 illness would stop making me feel so crappy, I can stay calm and all during ...

Hi,

I am curious if anyone has experience with a Narcissistic parent. My sister is in therapy and told me that our step mother is Narcissistic. After doing research it makes so much more sense to me as to why my childhood as well as my three sisters' are marked with so much pain and confusion.

I am new to understanding my step mom as someone who has a personality disorder. Since distancing her from ...

Well, I've been having an extremely bad time lately. Due to the fact that I can not seem to be able to function any more (I've kept myself in bed for 4 days now) I'm thinking of checking myself in to a center that specializes in treatment of women with PTSD and Dissociative Disorders. I am so not able to cope right now. Maybe taking the time to go back to the basics and getting ...

Oh Man...
I have had a hard couple of days...
however... you want to hear something funny?
Yesterday I was at lunch with Eliza and she was talking to lAlA and lAlA decided that instead of talking to Liz she wanted to go play Hide and Seek with the rest of the littles. So she said "You want to talk to Big Amber" and left. Liz thought it was funny because she got ditched by ...

Ok... this is probably going to be a long meandering post... so bear with me. I'm 23 years old. Fit, intelligent, active, attractive to men and women, and remarkably charming when I want to be.

I'm starting this because after two days of no sleep laying in bed, my boss called me. I more or less got chewed out about work slipping, but mostly he was worried. I've been with my company for four years ...

Ok I feel exhausted but I just cannot sleep. Started my work again on Thursday and today has not been a good day. Anyone around?

Hi

I am a person who has suffered with diagnosed depression for the last seven years on and off.

Recently have been having a bad time of it, and was thinking and feeling all sorts of irrational thoughts which were just silly (I realize that) and so went back on my medication which was caramel but is now called catalpa.

The last couple of weeks having been swinging from extreme highs to lows. I have ...

I've been trying to figure out how to classify myself for a while now, but SPD seems to be the best fit. Some parts are a little off, so I'm just going to explain how I fit into the world, and see what people think. Of course, it will be a little long.

First off I live with my brother in a basement suite. I only ever talk to my landlady when she needs something ...

* SIGH *
It's frustrating to want to talk with someone else who has BDD, but nobody wants to talk with me! I don't know how many BDD boards I belong to now, but every single one I post to is so sparsely populated that checking in once a month is fruitless...I just want to have positive, supportive dialogue with other BDD sufferers, find out what treatments do or don't work, and all sorts of ...

hey, just had to write somewhere, not looking for pats on the back or whatever but i threw out all my cocaine today! at the moment im still eleated, tomorrow i think i will feel like $#%^, but here goes... trying to quit smoking too, maybe im taking on too much, i dont know, time will tell i guess, anyway, good luck to me ;-) took that ...
