I was a very young child growing up in a third world country in Europe. Around 5 to 7 years in age when the event happened, I can't remember exactly (I'm 42 now).

We lived in a multi-family building in the city. My parents would let me go outside to play, completely unsupervised at such a young age. They'd let me go and play for hours, pretty much anywhere while they were in the house. ...

Hello forum.

I am presently recovering from a bad breakup. It was very strange. The person went from "talking all day long every day" to "no contact whatsoever" in the blink of an eye. This person left a very huge void in my life.

I am doing my best to juggle between accepting my feelings of loss and distracting myself from the hurt. I am doing my best to keep the nice memories alive without ...

I’ve been trying to find the best way for my mind to stop having intrusive thoughts about an old friend and stop associating them with the city I currently live in. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Some back story… I had a very close friend during some formative years from the age of 16-18 back when I lived in Florida. She was like a sister to me at times. When I was 23 she had ...

I met this guy online. Everything was going almost perfectly fine, he was texting me a lot, calling, setting up dates etc. He said he’d never felt so good with anyone before.

He said ‘for us to blah blah (I don’t remember at ...

I f eel hurt and overwhelmed by being put in the ...

Recently my friend (16F) told me about her past of dating two people (22M and 27M), she even said that she would have had sex with one of those guys if her mom hadn't stopped her. I told her that those guys were terrible people who were exploiting her age, but she started to argue with me. She told me that they were nice and that she was the one who flirted first and harderst. ...

Hello everyone,

There are probably dozens of similar cases, but I'm still a bit desperate and need some advice.

I am male, have been studying for two years and have built up a good but purely friendly relationship with a fellow student during this time. We have done things outside of university from time to time, but our friendship is generally characterized by learning together, somewhere between platonic and good friends.
Especially at the beginning ...

The dreaded silent treatment. I'm sure we've all been on the receiving end of the silence at some point or another in our lives. I'm writing to you all because I feel like I'm drowning in the silence and the periods where it's not present feel faint and far away.

I've been with my partner for a few years now, we also live together and have been doing so for half the duration of our ...
