Thats when my dad's career really took off... We move a lot, and after that move, when I was 5 and lost so many friends, i just never made anymore... A lot has happened to me since... My mom just told me she was diagnosed with paranoia, and that she and dad ...

Hello, I feel that I've lived most of my life in fear. I'm terrified of meeting new people, going to unfamiliar places, using unfamiliar forms of transportation: in short, if it's not my neighborhood, or I'm not in the presence of people I trust a lot, I'm too scared to make myself do anything new, really. And this makes me feel as if I'm missing out a lot on what life has to offer.
This has gotten worse as time goes on. In high school, because ...

About a year ago some memories seemed to come to the surface all of a sudden with no obvious catalyst. All I can recall is that when I was about 6,7, or 8, my older brother (4 years older) took me into my dad's private office where we would play a "game." I'll just be blunt because there isn't much of a point in beating around the bush. He told me that if I performed oral sex on him, then I would ...

I appreciate this service and wondered if any light could be shed on my problem. I find that in my life, I have often grown very attached and love my girlfriends dearly. I have always been the type of person who loves people and I am proud that I am kind, have great empathy, and am loving to all those around me. Many people love to be around me and I have never had a problem socially and can get along with ...

Since I have been 10 years old I have not felt right. I am lethargic, I am an introvert and spend a lot of time alone and have for the last 15 years. I never have any energy so I do not socialize very much. I feel this draining feeling in my head that makes me not want to make the effort to talk with people.
Because of all this I personal relationships have suffered. Every woman I have ever dated has left me ...

Hi. I have been taking anti depressants for about 5 years for anxiety - I was suffering from constant panic attacks. Although the panic attacks have gone I still have feelings of hopelessness frequently and think about suicide alot. I have problems with eating and try to restrict my intake although annoyingly I am unable to lose weight. I am not sure if this is a problem or not. Prior to commencing anti depressants I never had suicidal thoughts and worry ...

Have you ever been so afraid of being attacked or hurt that you would try to stay on guard constantly? If you asked me this question about a year ago, I would answer yes. Why did I feel like this? I am still wanting to find out. I will find out in the future.
I was born the youngest of 4 in a small town in the middle of nowhere, West Virginia. I never felt like I was home there. I wanted to live in ...
