Ok, I am not necessarily saying there is no such thing as mental illness, but I guess I don't understand why there seems to be so much of it in the world nowadays...and if those so-called "insane" really are insane, or just making excuses...

This board (and many others of its ilk) appears to be chock full of all manner of so called "disorders." Some of them are more appropriate character flaws IMO, though, and ...

I've been doing some reading on Histrionic Personality Disorder, and I can't help but wonder that if some of the people writing the descriptions are somewhat biased (especially against women.) There was one website I found called nomarriage.com which really went to town on the diagnosis as a rationale as to why marry only "mail order brides" instead of American women. Of course, the coward didn't leave a place for email! So that's the reason ...

Hello everyone. I've been lurking here for a few months now, but never dared to speak up until now.

I've never been officially diagnosed, but I'm quite sure that I am an avoidant. This has been evident in all areas of my life, except at home with my family. Away from home, I rarely talk and I normally don't attend social gatherings such as parties, and I avoid pretty much any extra-curricular activity that requires ...

Porn and celibacy (Breaking apart)

Blood and sperm, her tits are firm,
Her ass is tight, her eyes a sight,
For sore eyes after a beating!
Her stomach is flat because she isn’t eating.
Her wrists are bleeding..
That grin is misleading..
You don’t know what you are perceiving!
But after the cuts all emotion is leaving!

Her brows are soaked, her face is cloaked,
By a shroud of doubt, she wont let it out, ...

I'm loved
...Alone inside
I'm alive
...Dying inside
I'm smiling
...Crying inside
I'm serene
...Nervous inside
I'm happy
...Sad inside
I'm confident
...Insecure inside
I'm honest
...Lying inside
I'm brave
...Scared inside
I'm strong
...Weak inside
I'm warm
...Cold inside
I'm profound
...Lost inside
I'm me
...Buried inside

I am!

I am not

...Inside !

This was a couple of years ago and I'm only now realising her part in it.


I was drunk and on a group camp with my BPD mate.

She led another man to believe that I would be up for a threesome with them.

Then I was unconscious, deeply asleep in our tent. She lay there and watched :shock: as this bloke r*ped me, and I think ...

They're here, those moments. Each sharing one another like a river flowing to a stream. Seeking the end of all it's begining.. I too seek an end, but is it just another start.

I was born "different".
As a baby, I would scream whenever I was touched or held & was a lot happier left alone, staring at my mobile above my cot for hours on end. At the age of 2, I started head banging, until bleeding sores appeared on my skull. Whenever a light was turned on, I'd start screaming again. My parents took me to the doctors, fearing I had meningitis, but the tests came ...
