After many years of struggling with explosive anger, unstable emotional swings, substance abuse, suicide attempts, and a constant battle with anorexia, I recently had an epiphany and connected the dots in a way that all my previous psychiatrists have failed to do. I'm almost certain that I have Borderline Personlity Disorder, and after mentioning it to others they agree with me. The only issue now is what do to.

I have never gotten a long with my shrinks because I'm far more intelligent than they are, and just sit there playing mind games with them. And I'm not positive that I want to be "fixed", as I see nothing wrong with me, but I do realize that my behavior and mood affect everyone around me.

So, I guess I'm asking what to do now. I'm heavily medicated and positive that this is the organic issue, but am at a loss with what to do.

Why are so many women terrified of germs? Why do they have such an obsessive fear of being exposed to germs? How come men are so much less likely to have an irrational fear of germs?

I will never believe that a 100% straight men would knowingly ever date a post-op transgender women. They may look like women but nothing can change the fact they were born men. The ones who verbally support transwomen by addressing them as her, or including her in women's only activities will always carry in their hearts the knowledge that this is not a real women. Some would even say its a multilated man.
If you are a straight men would you want to date a biological women or a transgender man who look like a women.

There exists a new theory that suggests that global warming attributed to co2 emission is a hoax; it's just the sun going through its normal cycle; it's just getting hotter because the sun is getting closer. The governments of the world know this and are using it to tax us and then, ultimately enslave us.

hello. I am a 22 year old female. With no major health problems. about 2 years ago (summer of 2005) for some reason I started loosing memory. I didn't think much of it in the beginning. But i couldn't remember simple things that i had done or thought about a few minutes before that. So i started writing things on sticky notes to help me. at one point my room was full of sticky notes. so this has progressed now 2 years later..(not progessed much) but i still can't remember things that are so simple. Like i couldn't remember the world "lemonade" when i was trying to order a drink. I can't remember where i put things only a few days ago.. any ideas what this could be from?

The times in my life where boredom didn't affect me were the same times my life was very simple, routine, and boring 24 hours-7 days/ week. It's when I am working, partying, doing new things then come home to reruns on Fox that I get the itch to "do something!" How about you?

"NEW YORK (Reuters) - New Yorkers who blithely cross the street listening to an iPod or talking on a cell phone could soon face a $100 fine.

New York State Sen. Carl Kruger says three pedestrians in his Brooklyn district have been killed since September upon stepping into traffic while distracted by an electronic device. In one case bystanders screamed "watch out" to no avail."

But you put wild ducks together in a pen and they have no one from their species to breed with, then the males will breed with the females. Seems to me it weould be the same with humans. You could dump a million whites and blacks in the center of the city and with no coersion or outside interference you could come back 5 years later and they would totally separated. I've come to believe this is why blacks and whites are forced to go to school together and why they bussed kids all over the place. There can't be another reason.

Anyone have any childhood memories before the age of two? I've heard of people being able to remember incidences from being a toddler and even a baby. The earliest one I have is probably from about the age of two. I know this because I was already walking.I know I wasn't older than this though because I was talking and it must have come out as baby talk because no one could understand what I was saying. I remember the frustration I felt because I knew exactly what I was trying to communicate, but my mom kept asking me "what?" over and over. I remember I was trying to ask why so many people were sitting on our couch, but I must have just been babbling all kinds of things. I always thought this was really interesting because I can remember the emotions I felt, the frustration at having to repeat myself and wandering why no one could understand me. Anyone else have any very young memories?

I have an in-law in the home w/ mult personality disorder.
How do I maintain order in my home when she "freaks out" or acts like a baby, or yells at someone in the home because one of her "alters" is bothered by our normal behavior?
Do I believe she really has this? Can these negative "personalities" be triggered back to an appropriate one?
Any help would be great as this is my brothers wife, living with us, and I don't want to kick them out every day.
