i battle psychiatric problems and am waiting for a second opinion. ive been told i have a personality disorder and that i have no depression or mental illness. but i disaggree i feel alot of my symptoms have something to do with mental illness. in the past i used to have trouble contoling inner rage, and still do have to fight to stay incontrol, but in the past, i would start to feel detached, and i would get into staring, unable to blink or look away, like in a trans. then i would explode. in public crowed places to. i really made a show of myself alot of times. i would act out and attack people, barge into them, knock people over. all this time ive been wondering whats wrong with me. im 29 now. this has been goin on since 15. presentley i suffer terrible low moods and have no energy. ive socially isolated myself. i have constant racing thoughts flooding through my brain that make me feel disorganised & muddled up. i have paranoid ideas of persecution. and high levels of anxiety

Here is a example: My Brother & I are at a store and he runs off for a sec,then he runs up behind me tries to scare me but it doesn't work cause I just knew it was him.My friends have tried this too in the past but again I always know who it is.So I'm wondering if anybody has any ideals.

What does it mean when you have one particular person in your dreams every night or every time you sleep?
And it's a guy?

I am a straight guy but recently I have starting day dream about having sex with this guy I used to know.

Now I don't find him sexy when I look at him and I don't find guys sexy at all. I love being with women but for some reason when I'm alone in bed at night I just can't stop thinking about seducing him.

I know this guy is also straight but I'm exicted with the idea of trying these things out with him and him trying things out with me.

A long time ago we used to be really good friends but then we fell out because he became very selfish and lied all the time.

I hate him and he hates me. We have came close to having punch ups when we see each other in the street.

So why on earth am I having these naughty thoughts about him?

I don't understand. When I look at him I feel nothing but when I'm alone... I just remember the friendship we had and these feeling just starting filling my head.

I never felt anything for him when we were mates.

So why now?

Having no compassion for you or your problems, never felt love (one of the greatest feelings ever), no empathy, or sorrow?

Or someone who was autistic or had some type of syndrome (Aspergers, Savant..etc)

Kinda scary isn't it?

Someone told me that they actually like people who are shy. I'm shy and because it's so limiting, it's hard to see it in a positive light. Just wanted input on a new perspective.

Well, I'm a female in the 10th grade and suffering some serious jealousy towards the popular, pretty girls. I guess I'm somewhat pretty myself, but stand me next to one of the popular girls and it all goes out the window. I'm starting semester 2 on Monday, which means 4 fresh new classes, with 4, fresh, new groups of people. With any luck, I won't have too many pretty girls in my classes, but I probably will. I know jealousy is NOT good, it just sucks the joy out of your own life. So I have 2 questions:
1. How can I get over my jealousy?
2. How can I stop my "self-esteem" mood swings. One minute I feel gorgeous and the next, I feel ugly as hell.

Confrontation at work is about to happen, every time feedback is given, this person becomes very argumentative and looking for an excuse for everything. I believe he doesn't understand the team concept and rather looks out for himself.

i think i have an addictive personality. i smoke cig (quit smoking pot 4 yrs ago) i drink every weekend, i almost got addicted to painkillers but made myself stop because i knew that would be destructive. i fall in love easily and become addicted to that happiness, i'll go days only eating one food (most recently chicken salad sandwiches). i've even been addicted to video games and websites (most recently, this site). other than drinking, smoking and love- these tend to be short-lived and are easily replaced by other addictions. i dont have insurance to cover a therapist nd cant afford one. but these addictions dont seem to disrupt my daily life and i continue to function normally (hold a steady job, no trouble with the law, stable relationships with friends and family) so should i be concerned about this? i also tend to worry a lot, this is the latest worry i've become fixated on
