"If you think about it, Dark Heroes such as Egil Skallagrimsson and Eric Starkad would be considered clinical psychopaths.

Does anyone see a similarity between the anceint Nordic Odinsmen and modern "anti-heroes" such as Raistlin (from Dragonlance), Riddick (from Pitch Black), Wolverine (from X-Men), the unnamed sorceror from ...

Although I have yet to be officially diagnosed, I am pretty sure I have schizophrenia. I can see it and others have insinuated it. I don’t hear voices, but I am paranoid. The issue I’m having now is I feel like the people who know me treat me like this illness is my fault. Like I chose it so I should be punished for being too different, or not enough like everyone else. But, in ...

Hi, my name is John, this is my first post on here. I would appreciate some advice because I am really distressed. I have been dealing with OCD from my teenage years, I'm 22 now. When I was a teenager I was obsessed about things happening to my family members and would perform compulsions as a result.

One slippery tin god,
Oiled black
And prime
Casts aspersion on his foes.

The old saying goes;
My lord,
One shall reap what he sows.

But all in good time!

While life clings to those
Like a disease--
Pride breeds a tyrant
And each skeletal carcass skips --
A shore of breeding bones.

Crypt, crypt, crypt,
As a first aid kit falls short.

Bandaged roads,
Band aids for trees,
A fort of curdled hopes--
Yet ...

Hi All,

my second post here..(first post should i feel guilty will give u a brief about me)
Some of you are living with a DD spouse and some of you have moved on..
So what I wanted to ask you all is how did you face the world ?...i come from a conservative community where divorce/seperation/mental illness or anything out of a happy marriage is not accepted. So far only my close family knows ...

I honestly don't know where to start.
I woke up this morning and as I had my morning cigarette, I just think, as always. I have a loving Mother, sister, best friend (who I hardly see), and boyfriend. I am grateful for them. I am just lonely, still. I have no one to relate to.

I have been in a mental facility 2 times the past 4 years. It always helps me and I do ...

Hi.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to share some progress I have made with a new alter. I'm actually feeling really good and I suppose on some level quite excited about him. In my previous post I explained how I had been trying to push him away because I didn't feel I could handle another one but I took the advice I was given and decided not to view this as a negative thing.

For the last ...
