Q. It sounds so crazy so why do i do it? Is it like another personality? I've never done it before and he's the only one i do this with.(for like 2 years now) Would it have anything to do with the fact my father died 3 years ago when i was 16 and i never dealt with it because I couldn't and still can't.Like every time the emotions almost get to the surface a wave washes over me and it goes away no matter how hard i try to make it stay. Or maybe because my mother was untreated for her bi-polar and very abusive(emotionally,mentally and physically) through my whole childhood. She had alot of bf who lived with us. Bad guys.A drunk, a ...

4 or 5 years ago our family doc said I might have a bipolar disorder, Because I get really depressed and don't do anything or talk to anyone for a long time,, I also would have migranes that would last for weeks at a time, and not sleep for 3 or 4 days at a time... Now that is all that I told him, or my wife told him, all of that up there is correct, now what I did not tell him was I hear things that are not there, at first it was not that bad, but now it is everyday, I see things/ people that are not there, I always thought these were flashbacks, from doing drugs when I was a teen, I ...

I have been married to a woman for thirty two years and I have been persevering with what I consider to be some very serious problems. She has a very unusual lack of and often times a total absence of empathy, sympathy and understanding for even her friends and those closest to her including myself. She is a fair weather friend. She's your buddy until you need her help and she stands her friends up without so much as a phone call. I have seen two friends of hers at different times become temporarily bed ridden and ask for her aid at which time she completely abandoned them and never saw them again. I was ill for 9 mo's and unable to work, ...

Q. I was told that I sent a violently threatening email to the police last week saying I would kill a girl I know and care about. Supposedly I sent it early on a Saturday because I was told about it the following Tuesday, and this girl and I had been talking a lot in between that time and I thought things were fine, I had no idea about this. They say I said a bunch of nasty things and said I was afraid I'd kill her. I have no memory of this and still do not believe I did it, especially since I had no motive to. I wasn't harboring secret feelings like this and am investigating who could have sent this. ...

Q. I was diagnosed with social anxiety and depression at age 17. At age 20 I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder rapid cycling. I never understood this diagnosis and really just took the medications prescribed to me. I have done extensive research and have come to understand it better. I have no doubt that this diagnosis is correct. I argued recently with a counselor that i think i have borderline personality disorder in addition to bipolar disorder. She told me that it doesn't matter what is down on paper because the medications, treatments, as well as the symptoms are the exact same. then she looked at me and said my charts say i have a personality disorder. when this took place i was in a ...

Q. I'm a 19 yr. old College student, and my problems started last semester. I would go to school and find my self completely lost. I don't go to a big school, i even attended Adult High School there, so there is no reason i should be lost. I would call my mother crying asking her to help me find out where i was.I then began to lose intrest in school, which was weird because i was so excited about it. Recently I've had people aproach me and call me by diffrent names. Thats when i started to realize the "black outs." They aren't so much black outs as i feel as if i'm going on "auto-pilot." Kind of like when your driving in the ...

I am 20, and now I feel that sex is DISGUSTING. Sometime I even want to throw up when my friends mention those horrible stuffs about sex to me. I used to have sex about over a year ago with my ex-bf . But I had never enjoyed it even once. And whenever I think about it, I feel I hate myself, I hate being a human that have to do these DISGUSTING stuffs. Is it normal to be feeling like this? I'm worrying about my future, the marriage life... What is wrong with me? What should I do?

A: There is a big difference between making love and having sex. My guess is that your first boyfriend didn't know the difference and your introduction

I am attempting to distance myself from a man I've been seeing for 7 months. I have come to realise that he suffers from psychotic episodes which resulted in violence on a number of occasions at the start of the relationship. I believe I am addicted to this man and it really scares me. He has shown me no affection or tenderness, I have spent hundreds if not thousands on meals, drinks, weekends away and he has barely acknowledged this.

Despite these signals, I come back for more and more. I am extraordinarily attracted to him and see a side of him which is tender and methodical, logical and rational, combined with a mordant wit which is really appealing

Q. I am 24 and I am scared for my life. I have many symptoms of believe it or not, both DID and schizophrenia. I have at least 10 personalities some of which are very weird such as a bird who believes he can fly, an alien, a 5 and 2 year old, and many more. A few of them only came out once or twice. Some of the personalities I am aware of and others I don't remember what happened when I was in that personality.

I occasionally hear voices, see things, and feel things. The hallucinations aren't too bad because I am on a medication for that. I sometimes get confused in my speech and make no sense to people. It becomes extremely

Q. Ok, let me start off saying I can't remember my past at all. The good the bad, nothing. There have been times when I was fighting with my boyfriend and a 'wave' would wash over me then I couldn't remember anything that just took place. I've had a voice talk to me named Katrina.. She's around the age where I believe something bad happened to me. Sometimes I dont feel whole and I feel like i'm not 'me'. Another scary thing thats happened to me was I had an Out Of Body Experience. I was looking out of my body, but what I was looking at was myself and it was an evil entity. That wanted to hurt my boyfriend. After a few ...
