I'm having this conversation inside my head about someone I've been dating for a couple months now.It's been pretty intense, and we've talked every day, and gotten to really see all sides of each other.He has no real relationship experience, so I've had to kind of guide things along.However, I have past relationship baggage. Recently, I said something to him as a reality check that really hurt his feelings; he kept apologizing and I know I made him feel horrible; he said he needed space to think about himself so he understands why he does those things (but we're still together). Now I have been having thoughts that go on and on.I trust him on the one hand, and he said to have faith and know he just really needs to think about himself.But then all these fears and regrets come about saying what I did.And it goes around and around, feeling angry and justified in saying what I did, then feeling regretful, then trusting, then like we'll never talk again.It sucks. Any advice?

I have been married three years. For the last year and a half, my marriage has been through hell. My husband treats me like a slave, resents me when I ask him to take me out, and is a slob. When he comes home from work, he goes to the computer room and logs onto an online game. He does this until he has to go to bed. If I ask him for a favor, he acts like its the worse thing in the world. I cant drive, I'm medically unable, so I'm dependent on him to get me to where I need to go. I feel like I'm less than a woman around him. He treats me like I'm stupid, which I'm not. I'm tired of being neglicted and having to deal with his games, and his slob self. I want to leave him, but I'm not sure if I should. Family says this is "normal", that things will get better, but it seems things are going worse. I feel I'm begging to die b/c I know its probably the only way he will pay attention to me. I'm lost and confused.

Shopping for schl clothes excursion!!! What a nightmare. I had to take along my two boys (9 and 5) and my 7 year old daughter. The store was jammed with mothers desperate 4 a bargain. The little one was squealing at me incoherently, my 7 year old girl just wanted everything in sight and my 9 year old boy was "dying of hunger." There were people shoving, pushing, swearing, yelling !! That was it, I snapped !! I just broke into song, full blast of course.

"Oh I hate shopping, I haate shopping, I haate shopping, sooo much. !!!" I did it to the music of "Oh come all ye faithfull".
Yes, I did. The crowd in front of us parted like the parting of The Red Sea!! My 3 kids all stopped screaming and started squealing with laughter. My little girl was yelling how gross and mad I was. The crowd were all gawking at me in horror. Know what I said? Ripper, tks guys, flashed them all a great big smile and sped straight through. That was fair, I thought. Wot thinks u lot???

to watch friends DVD's to cheer themselves up and changes the subject when she wants to talk about , this was said to her less than a WEEK after the rape, when the vitim wanted to talk about it, the subject was changed back to her childhood and how the attack must have triggered negative childhood schemas - NO JOKE and this is an NHS psychologist, treating a woman with a history of substance misuse, self harm, depression, anorexia, and boderline personality disorder.

how would one complain about this ( amoungst other things that the psych did?)

Personally I am against them i just can't understand them. I don't view depression as an illness but rather a part of life. I feel taking them is like cheating, what do you think?

okay firstly, i dont want to sound mental but then again... since when i was quite a very young age...maybe around.. 12... i started feeling that something is just not quite right about this world...Just SOMETHING. i cant figure it out what it is and it bothering me for like 8 years of my concious mind. I wonder if there's someone out there feeling the same way as i do. Sometimes... it just sends me thinking of why am i feeling this way for like hours... sitting there.. being so unconstructive... Is it me... or what... am i mental or something.

sorry if I bored you out there. But I am really grateful for all your advices and support.I end up in tears reading these messages becoz no one in my life have ever welcomely accept me into their lives.I knew the importance of not looking back.But currently,i am in a lot of distress because I find myself diverting all my attention to my only frd.I constantly need reassurance from her that she won't abandon me.I attched to her because she is very similar to my mum,she is cold and distant and she dislike affections.When I try to hug her or confide in her,she pushes me away.I tried so hard to please her.Worst still,she became close with a guy and since then she have been neglecting me a lot.And I feel almost like I am so easily replacable.This reminds me of how my mum favours my bro. she is spendng increasing amount of time with him.I couldn't help from feeling so jealous and painful.I don't see the point in getting better becoz noone wants me anyway.

Do you think I suffer from BPD?

i need help, i know i do and i want it because i am afraid of what will happen if i don't get it, but i don't even know what to say where to even begin. I'm terrified that if i say how i really feel i'll be packed off to a mental institution, i have seen those places and they scare the hell out of me, i can't go there i will disappear and die inside. i need help but i don't want to make everything worse than it is already. if i do seek professional help and call someone i don't even know what to say and they may not even believe me or i don't know what to do. can you help?

This is a sincere question, about 2 months ago we moved into a house which has wood floors and I have been in a state of depression ever since, I dont think it was the move, because I really didnt like where we lived before, it was 15 hours away from home and now we are only 5 hours away from home, I have always lived in a house with carpet and have always been pretty happy, this is the second time I have lived in a house with wood floors, the 1st time was about 12 years ago, and I remember being pretty depressed then too, so I am wondering if there is a link between wood floors or maybe the chemicals used on wood floors?

So I was staring at the screen on Yahoo! Answers and I started wondering how I got to hating myself so much. Low self-esteem, self-loathing, whatever you call it I have it. It's the reason I self-injure (e.i. cut), it's the underlying feeling behind my eating disorder. The list could go on.

So why do people get so screwed as to start hating themselves? Do you think some people should? Or should even serial-killers learn to love themselves?(A valid question in my eyes because I doubt most serial killers love themselves, most of their actions seem to come from distorted internal pain) For those of you who believe in 'god' and his unconditional love, do you think we even have the right to hate ourselves if the almighty God can still love us? What's less redeemable, the complete rejection of self, or the actions (real or imagined) that led up to such malice? Because that's what it feels like, like I hate myself so much I want to be destroyed.
