I have an obession with counting. Since I was a little kid; but it's gotten way worse over the past year or so (I'm 21 now)

I will hear/say a sentence and then throughout my day (every day) I'll remember that sentence and try to reduce it so it will be 6 words. I'll count 3 words on each hand. Like a dumb game??

When I look @ something with someone, I count instead of admire as a whole. (I'll count windows on buildings, cars going on opposite side of traffic, dotted lines on road ways...I have to count in 2's on this one, etc)

When I see the time on a clock, I'll add 2 of the #'s up to try and equal the other number. I always do it until the equation fits (sometimes it means dividing and then a fraction....SOMETHING crazy until it fits)

I'd like to not think this is OCD? I'd also like to think this is a little more than just boredom....b/c it's too weird sounding. Any clues? I'm mentally stable.

I'm depressed and have anxiety disorder and am seeing a psychiatrist. Recently my psychiatrist and I have attributed my conditions to being lonley -- especially at night time. I barley ever have contact with people because of my job, where I can't talk to anyone there either. I am engaged but untill June of 2008 we are in a long distance relationship. I feel especially lonley at night because we used to cuddle every night and now i dont have that. I feel so lonley and insecure that im losing sleep worse than I already was. Is there anything I can do to not feel so lonley? thanks =/

At first I was thinking of posting it in the Singles & Dating category, but the nature of this problem is somewhat strange so I decided it would be more appropriate to ask here.

I have a guy friend who dated this girl around two years ago. I actually know this girl a bit, she's sweet, kind, loves children, popular, pretty, and gets along well with people. My friend and his family was poor btw, but he saved what he could for that girl. However, she wasn't so nice as she seemed. During that time she was with my friend, she was actually sleeping with someone else. Eventually my friend found out but before he could speak his mind to her, she called him one night and gave him the typical BS "I'm sorry, we have to call it off because I'm going to migrate to *insert country here* and I don't want to leave anything behind." Heartbroken, he asked her if they could meet in person so he could be granted closure and she agreed. *continued below*

I have been storing up a lot of anger from a few people for a few month now. I really hate them, for many of the things they have done. Up until now I just acted as though everything is fine, even though I really want to "get rid" of them (if you know what I mean). I don't want to do this, but I am really disturbed right now.

I need some advice, effective ones, on how to direct this anger while holding up to my busy schedule.

At first look at me, you would think i was a normal fun loving adolescent. im 20 yrs of age and single. i portray myself carelessly as all male twenty-somethings tend to do. i have a small circle of friends that i hang with. i also attend big social gatherings were i have fun via alcohol n pot. obviously i dont loose control of my "habit" because im doing very well in college full time. ive never commited a crime or murder or anything for remorse to take hold n choke the happiness away. i also did modeling for a few months and am a certified personal trainer. yet i dont know what is wrong with me... i sometimes think im just a depressed person. yet when others ask me how i can keep being the happiest most outgoing guy they know, i cannot help but feel an ironic twist because inside me, i feel my soul is alone and deeply saddened. what can i do? i even loose sleep. cry. silently at night many times over until the cruel imsomnia leaves me alone. what can i do? help me someone.

Okay. I'm 19, and I have BPD. I was diagnosed with it a few years ago, I was on medications, and started to feel "better" and I was 16 and dumb, so I took myself off of them. I had tried for the past few years to help myself. It's not working so well. I need help, but I don't have health insurance anymore. Does anyone have any suggestions? Are there free counseling websites, or anything like that? No sarcastic remarks either, please.

I was just wondering how you can tell if you have an actual anxiety disorder? I think I might have one because I am always thinking way into things, like all the bad that could happen in situations, and I also at random times will start to freak myself out by thinking to much? but i cant help it. does anyone know the answer?

Time has always gone by so slowly for me. When I was a kid, people told me it would speed up as I grew up. Well, now i'm 31, and every day feels like a freaking year. It doesn't matter how busy I am...time just crawls by. Anyone else have this problem, or just life just zip along for you?

Sigh. Self harmed from the age of 14-17, stopped. 19 Now and training to be a childrens nurse (end of 1st year), and I'm unwell again, mentally quite unwell. I think it may be the course doing this to me, maybe not, though quite likely. Don't know whether I can work with children like this.

I am 26 years old. Got out of an 11 year relationship 3 months ago and a 2 month relationship 1 week ago. My bf of 2 months ended it abruptly even though we had strong feelings for each other and now won't even answer my calls and I mreally miss him. I am TERRIFIED of being alone. Since my 11 year relationship ended and I have to pay my bills alone, I have gotten myself into debt. I don't have any real friends and any friends or family i do have do like to be around me b/c i have a lot of anxiery and worry a lot. This life just seems way too daunting. I feel so alone. All day I've been trying to stop myself from doing it but the pain is just too much right now.

for a very long time now, if I see someone like an actor or an actress In a movie or something I constantly lookthem up online, I talk about them a lot but it only really happens when I see them a second time. I currently went to halloweeen horror nights and I recently started to like this charactor and let's say I sign up for a we site I would have their name as my user name, they're all I would talk about. And eventally if I get tired of them I'll stop and after awhile if I see them or hear about them I'll begin it all over again. But please this isn't a joke I'm serious, its starting to get tiring, I can't rely control it sometimes :/

branded you as a nutter because you have had long standing problems with rage, anger and aggression?

i feel like this, i feel like society has labelled me as a person to avoid or as a nutter or a psychopath a person to alienate, outcast and shun.

im 30 with borderline personality disorder....ive endured a very unfair and painfull life.....bullying...(prol... throughout secondary school and beyond. victimization....sexual abuse....assaults...head injuries.....ive never made any friends ever, never had a partner......never been in a relationship....never been employed....never gained qualifications....all due to my problems.

my life speaks injustice and unfairness.

this is where i feel all the anger, rage and aggression has come from.....while i was being bullied and victimized...i bottled up my anger and never fought back.....so it all went supressed....i internalized everything.

now the icing on the cake is that now i feel societys outcasted me & branded me.
so..
what do i do?

I don't understand. When i did do it I was very careful about cutting a vein and i would sterilize the blade or knife. I dont say that i need counseling either.
