I have been with a guy who is in denial that he has bipolar. I would really like him to get help but I now ask myself the question "do I need to get help, for staying with him and allowing him to mistreat me, calling me names and degrading me"

Why? How would you expect him/her to behave? Would you prefer to be consoled or to be "ignored" until you calm down by yourself? I'm particularly interessed in men's opinions...

One of my best friends invited me for a party and all my other "friends" will also be there. I am not close to them as I am to my best friend.
I havent seen them for some time and I am the quiet type.

What kind of topics should I talk about with them

i nearly tripped over today and thank God, i was able to control my balance...in a funny way. there was one person who saw the whole thing. which made the situation even funnier.

the person smiled shyly and gave the friendly look at me..something like, are you ok? kind of look. this never happened to me before.

by reading the facial expression (which seemed very sincere), i have interpretations of my own about this person's personality. i could be wrong because i dont even know this person. anyway, what do you think?

Since I was a child, I always have this dream of a witch always tormenting me and I am almost always at my grandmother's house when it occurs. On top of that I would run out of the back door and take off flying to get away. As I have gotten older, the house has gotten cleaner and brighter and the witch does not torment me anymore but I hate that with almost every dream I have, I still end up in grandma's house!

When I don't drink, I see the world through rose-colored lenses, but dark rose. Its as if... as if I'm constantly under a cloud of depression. Then I drink and I see how trivial my problems are and understand what humour is for once. I also understand the philosophies of life for once, you see? I am a person who normally rarely laughs, but when I drink I can finally think clearly. It sounds odd, but I'm a person who can think coherently only WHEN I drink. I've drank quite a bit recently in fact. And now is when I understand how rediculous my overshyness is and how it will hold me back in life. I wish, in a sense, that I always felt like this. At the same time, often I look back later on things I wrote in this phase and just... God, there are too many philosopical thoughts zooming through my head right now. Know what I mean? About the drunken philosophy? For me that's a constant.

My psychologist has recommended that I stay "present"" (i.e not think of the future or the past) in my daily life to overcome my anxiety. Has anybody managed to master this, and if so, what are some helpful hints? Thanks.

I have a tendency to be kind of controlling if someone says something I strongly object (ie something political,blatant stupidity) I get so upset. I rarely say an objection quite as the strongly as the way I might be feeling but I tend to get all worked up about it on the inside.

after this experience i tried it with another peson, recently... i concentrated on her eyes and told her to think of someone close to her who passed away to try to see if a wasn't goin crazy and to gain composure... i explained to her who i saw after concentrating for about 5minutes, It was her grandfather, i explaind everything from his liver spots on his olive colored skin to his unique cheek bone structure. I really have been trying hard to research this but i cant seem to find anything, for now i will try to prove this "ability" to myself so that i can try to better understand it... more feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

This is especially noticeable when there are many others present. Let's say the professor makes a funny, and I tend to laugh RIGHT after the joke and others laugh about half a second later.

I am not a funny person, btw.

How do you deal with blood? And sticking people with needles? I mean, I'm ok with a needle as long as it's not coming towards me. I'm not the touchy kind of person and don't feel comfortable around doctors. Does anybody else feel that way?

I'm constantly afraid of being sick, or getting some crazy fatal illness, and thats all I can think about. Even when I get a little pain or headache I always think of the worst!! And everyone says its all in my head, and theres nothing wrong with me!!! Are they right!!!

It sounds confuseing, but the moment this happened i've been searching online for answers. I was at a freinds hows and we were in the basement just talkin and hangin out, she was telling a story sso i was listening intently and looking at her when all of a suddon it was like a pulse went through the space between the 2 of use, she didnt see it but it looked as if a person dropped something in water, like a ripple effect only of light and in the space between us. At first i ignored it but then a noticed wut looked like a thin film of light overlaping my freinds body so i starred at it for a while and it starting forming into a person. I kept watching and it went through about 3 phases a twisted lookin corpse, an emaciated woman and a beautiful women. I explained to my freind what i saw and she showed me a picture of a family freind whom she was extremely close to who died, when she died she was extremely skinny but in the picture she was the beautiful women i saw overlapping my freind.

I was wondering if any one out there has a crazy life, so crazy in fact that you had so many choices, so many things going on and that you had a hard time sticking to any of them. What would you say would be some ideas that would help someone get out of all this crazyiness?

Example: Life, College, Places to live, etc...
