getting to know some one, or just chatt from time to time but you really like this person and they know you do, yet they like to tease you by insinuating something when they talk and get you all confused.

I dont know but sometimes I have this fear of going crazy !
I think a basic fear that u might lose control ff ur mind .
Extreme difficulty in conversing with people , I often slur while speaking , ask stupid questions - like call a guy to his home and ask where are u , coz i am nervous

I think I am social phobic , and I feel sometimes I might just do non-sense .When I am walking in the road or talking to ppl , I just dont know where to look ...and fear of looking around ... especially feared if ppl might be laughing at me :( And avoiding eye contact with people etc...

Is it part of social phobia ? How can I over come it ?
Please gimme some good advise .

Does anyone have this right now or took the test for masters level yet? No matter how much im studying the practice exams on this program are ridiculously hard and even come across questions that have nothing to do with what i studied or is in the review books. Also does anyone know of a site that would have message boards to discuss the exam?

I have very little common sense, however, i get straight a+'s on my report card. for example, there are two doors to my front yard. one of the doors is bigger than the other. THe box that i was trying to move outside, was too big for just one door. I didnt think of opening both doors. Also, i am very forgetful. What should I do?

I have been involved in an unhealthy relationship for over a year now. My boyfriend is a recovering drug addict and has bipolar disorder, ADHD. I have bipolar disorder, OCD, and ADD. When we first met he lied to me about being clean. He was still using and conned/stole money from me. He claimed that he was paying off his former drug dealers because they were threatening him. He told me that one put a gun to his head and demanded his money. I gave him money for this over some months, but after one dealer was ‘paid’ he always came across another one that he owed. I knew he was lying inside but I didn’t accept it. Our relationship was off and on and very painful. He abused me physically and verbally beyond belief. Sometimes punching me, burning me, and choking me for almost no reason while coming off of the drugs.

I fooled around on him with my ex boyfriends a few times in-between our fights and high school weekend break-ups, but we were still together technically. When he found out he hit me and said such horrible things to me that I broke down and groveled at his feet. He humiliated me so badly that I wanted to die and disappear. He pressured a knife to my throat and told me all he had to do was move to the left. I begged him not to with tears and fear in my eyes while his eyes were cold green. He lifted it up and then said I had a choice; he then coaxed me into taking a bunch of his pills and to overdose one them. I was so depressed that I didn’t care; I just want to be unconscious and not feel anymore. I slept for about 19 hours and woke up in a daze. He demanded I drive home but I was too dizzy to do so. He kept harassing me over and over again until I couldn’t take it anymore. I called the police because I just wanted to get out of the house. I was so embarrassed because his parents were there and they were upset, I was so ashamed of myself. The police questioned him and looked at the knife mark on my neck. They took me to the hospital, and I was stuck there for hours. I found out that they had only questioned him and left, even though he had done what he did to me. I was so alone and upset, I had to call my ex-boyfriend to pick me up all the way from another town about 40 miles away. He took me home and comforted me. I found out later that he told his parents only that I tried to kill myself because I cheated on me and he threatened me with words. I was heartbroken because he didn’t tell them the whole truth and they thought I was a total psycho.

He finally told the truth in the following months, and I found out that he had cheated on me too, accept that he had lied about it unlike I did. I found out that he stole money from me, and wasn’t paying off his dealers, he was just getting more drugs. After everything that happened, I found it hard to trust him again and still do. But today things are tremendously better. He has been clean for months and has been treating me so much better. The only problem is that now I have been angry at him for everything and can’t seem to open up and love him. I am mean to him almost all of the time now, putting him down about who he is. I’m dissatisfied with who he is, and let him now it everyday. I know I’m wrong to do this, and I really need to change. I always bug him because I don’t think he’s doing well enough. He is trying to stop smoking, but relapses every so often. He hasn’t had a job in two years and doesn’t really take care of himself as most people do. He didn’t buy me anything for Christmas or my birthday, not even an e-card and little things like that make me resent him. We still fight but when he gets angry he goes so far as in to beat me down until I want to die. I am mean but I stop at a certain point if he gets too upset or depressed.

Now, I’m upset because he won’t talk to me because he’s ‘fed up’ with my personality. We are both angry and want to find a solution but can’t seem to find one. We tried to break up but get too lonely and miss each other. I can’t make up my mind what to do and change everyday. I found out some horrible news last night that brought up horrible memories and created a conflict between me and my family. I haven’t talked to any of them out of sheer anger and bitterness so I have no one right now. I need him and he refuses to be there for me now. I am feelings so bad, have cried my eyes bloody, and have started to feel nauseated because I’m so upset. He hasn’t called me and blocked his number. Why is he so cruel? Why hasn’t he been there for me like I was for him when he needed me most? Why won’t he try to forgive me for my flaws like I try to do for his? How can he have been so cruel? What should I do?

I spent eleven years in a horrible physically and emotionally abusive marriage. After I finally found the courage to leave ten years ago, I was so busy with work and my young children that I never had time to consider the toll that relationship took on me. I now find myself diagnosed as depressed, with PTSD and anxiety disorders. My psychologist and I both feel connecting with similar women would be helpful, but there are no support groups in the rural area where I live. Does anyone know of any live-chat sites or other online support groups for battered women, or women who have been in abusive relationships?

This is going to make me sound really narcissistic and attention seeking, that's really not the case.

Could these be the symptoms of BDD?

I feel different to everybody else.
I avoid lighted places.
I sometimes look at everyone else doing everyday activites and think "They're brave, I wish I could do that".. I just don't have the confidence.
I can never fully concentrate on something, I'm always pre-occupied with paranoid thoughts that people are looking at me.
I have to wear my hair half-way over my face in public.
I physically cannot bring myself to be seen by anyone without having spent at least 2 hours applying makeup.
I sometimes have to stop what I'm doing and weigh myself otherwise I get restless.
I spend at least 6 hours every day doing things entirely related to my faults.
I used to feel that there was a fault with every part of me, now it's as though every part of me IS a fault.
Sometimes I'm about to leave the house and I look in the mirror and feel so sick tha

My husband is always so down and he never wants to do anything. When I get involved in things without him he gets all down because I have stuff to do and he doesn't, but he never wants to come with me. He's taken antidepressants in the past but he doesn't like them and they really didn't seem to help much. What can I do to help him and also keep myself from falling into his depression?
