I’m having a crisis of sorts, apologies this is going to be long. I have a friend/had a friend who used to stay at mine a lot (i live in a convenient location) and call me a few times a day. we studied together a bit and i’m a nazi when studying, i don’t allow too many breaks and i’m hard with quizzes, too hard probably, i kinda take it too seriously. it’s just it’s the only way you’ll do well in tests! other than that i’m relatively easy going although being fake never sits well with me, i say what i’m thinking for the most part and i don’t hug and cuddle people if i don’t like them. most girls i know will bitch and degrade other girls behind their back and then hug them and be all pally with them a few mins later and i really don’t like that it freaks me out!
anyways, said friend got really rude with me, she had already done that a few times that month. she started being really short and i’mpatient, i didn’t see it as a big deal as we were both stressed about exams. but then when i asked her and another girl that was with her could i go for lunch with them they both looked unhappy. then they ran off when i wasn’t looking. that hurt. i texted her after i’d walked home and told her that she ran off without me so i just went home instead and i said something else aswel in the text, trivial thing. at the time i assumed she’d be embarrassed and say sorry, even a fake one and that’d be that. she just didn’t text back. 2 hours later she noticed that i had accidentally left pen marks on her notes. she was really angry and acted like it was a huge crime. this was a genuine accident on my part and i was really sorry and i said so, then i added in that there was no need to be sorry for walking off on me earlier. i still was giving her bad behavior the benefit of the doubt. then she texted back saying that she wasn’t sorry at all. then i said you’re just being cold and i’d leave it. then she said no i’m not and i can’t take anymore of you. at this stage i realised that she definetly walked off on me on purpose and was really trying to hurt me and it felt like she hated me and i had NO IDEA why. i was super stressed about the exam the next day and i had loads more study to do than her but instead i cried for hours, i was so upset. i kept questioning myself, i keep thinking that i deserve this and she must be right.
we had 4 good friends in common. one of them is a slightly insane manipulative spoilt brat whom all the others bitched about non stop and even diagnosed her with a personality disorder yet they love her to her face. another was never nice to me and used me a lot. another was slightly fickle but i used to get on really well with her. another was a bit cold sometimes and abrupt and harsh but i loved her anyways she was a good person. i haven’t talked about the girl who fought with me as i just don’t know what to say without making ppl choose. now they’ve all “sided” with her apparently and they hate me. it hurts so much. she’s using facebook to rub it in my face that they love her etc. they’re planning parties and class trips with ppl in our class that they normally never even talk to that i know better and i’m not included/invited. i’m half hating myself and hanging my head in shame and i’m half angry and defensive. what on earth is going on and how can i feel better? i don’t want to talk to the girl in question, i really don’t…….
any advice?
i really can’t think of any other important details here, i thought if i typed anymore nobody would bother to read it… hmmm….. maybe mr o’shields thinks i’m leaving out the reason they left me and went off for lunch, but i actually don’t know. another time this girl left o torrent of abuse on my fb page and there was no reason for that. she said so herself. she called me a freak, weirdo, loser etc. if there’s any details anyone needs specifically, ask me and i’ll answer unless of course it’s something that would reveal identities.
i keep popping my jaw in and out and cant stop doing it and has become a real pain for me. I have a splint to help with it but it hasnt helped that much. I really want this to go away so i need ways to help my situation?????
I personally know or hear about a lot people who have the diagnosis of Bipolar disorder and have meds prescribed, but their behavior doesn’t seem at all consistent with the DSM criteria. In all the cases in question, the person is prone to violent mood swings and highly aggressive behavior, and is generally unpleasant to everyone all the time, yet there is never any mention of them having manias or depressive episodes, or any change in affect over time. Am I missing something here? Where are their providers getting “bipolar” from? Is it an insurance thing? GPs/internists playing psychiatrist and failing at it? It is a stand-in for a better diagnosis that has social stigma attached to it (i.e. personality disorders)?
Now just for comparison , I do know 2 people who have Bipolar and the diagnosis seems spot on. One is a young woman who gets really depressed for about a month and stops doing anything, and another month gets very euphoric and hyperactive. She once got so manic that she when for a long run on a broken foot and didn’t feel the pain. Good news is she is very well cared for now. She is fully aware and accepting she has bipolar, has a regular therapist and her meds are monitored carefully by a psychiatrist. She doesn’t ever get violent and is very pleasant to talk to (albeit a little hard to track when she’s manic). I feel we do people like her a disservice by misusing the diagnosis.
um…i’ve been taking tests for a while, and thinking a lot about it. And I recently discovered that I am schizotypal….the mild case of schizophrenia…..should I be afraid of this? I mean, I know I’s kind of weird and really gets into people’s head, so I guess that’s why I’m freaking out right now. I once told someone I knew, but she didn’t believe it. I used to sit there during school and if I caught one person looking at me I would think that they hated me or were spreading a rumor. And I still do that. Automatically. It’s insane. I also have borderline, am paranoid, avoidant, and very OCD…
But my point is, do I have any reason to be afraid of having the schizotypal personality disorder? I feel like I’m going to throw up just thinking about it.

When we were married in 1995 she was diagnosed with an arachnoid cyst in her brain. Over the last 10 years she has not had it checked.
3 years ago she stopped taken her thyroid medication. I think she has low thyroid count.
We have 4 kids. She is acting very strange. She is harasing and threatening me. She is contempt of court. She is talking bad about me infront of the kids. I could go on and on.
The kids has a family therapist that comes out to the house. I have talked to him and he talked to my ex and she said she will not chsnge thsts how she has to act and treat me.
I am forced to get an attorney. How do I go about either getting a mental evaluation done on her or a complete physical. I am worried that the cyst could be getting bigger.
I talked to a doctor friend of mine he said it sounds like she may have a split personality disorder. I did get a mental evaluation done on me already. I make sure I get a complete physical every year.
She is very scared of doctors for some reason. She is 43 and for 10 years she has not had a complete physical, breast exam etc. 3 years ago my job had a free exams for women they tested for about 5 different things. I gave her the phonecall to schedule it. She never did.
I am scared for my kids in her house. They have hinted to me that she is acting different.
Can I legally get her to go to the doctor and see what is going on? If so how do I go about doing that.
I am to finifsh my college course this March of 2008, Major in Psychology Education with 24 units of specialization in Special Education. If you know someone who is in need of special education teacher, feel free to message me. It will be of great help.

im 18 years old and am currently working with autistic children. i have become really interested in becoming a child psychologist. anyone out there have any experience with autism or child psychology? what kind of classes should i take in college?
Yeah, parenting my 42 year old mother, i’m 22 years old, i live in costa rica. I go to the university of costa rica. There’s so many reasons why I can’t leave home, but pretty much it’s because everything here is really close by, and my grandfather doesn’t want me to leave my mother alone.
My whole situation is this: my grandfather lives by himself(grandma died 3 years ago), and i believe my mother has borderline personality disorder.
She has always been extremely immature, until this days, she always makes some huge drama if someone doesn’t give her what she wants, i have to stop studying to make her something to eat, she throws parties in the house a night before my tests, she sends me text messages saying that im her angel, that im the best thing that has ever happened to her, that im so important to her, bla bla, yada yada, but in 5 seconds, if dont reply, or if something is misplaced around the house, she calls me and starts yelling at me, when i was like 10, my dad (who was really smart at divorcing her when i was 2 years old and had 3 years of being married) took my moms car keys by mistake, and i cant remember if it was the next day, that she couldnt find them and she started yelling at me, and she started pushing me and throwing me against the furniture, some other time, a pipe from the kitchen sink broke, and she told me to hold a corkscrew on the pipe while she showered, but cuz of the pressure it couldnt resist, i can just remember her yelling from the second floor of my house, and i hid outside in the garden cuz i was really scared, and she yelled that she was going to kill me, that happened when i was like 8.
At school nights, she went partying with her friends, and cuz she didnt want to leave me sleeping over at a friends house or my grandparents, she left me sleeping in the car. I even woke up one new year in the car, i was so upset….
Well back to the current events, my grandpa has always been the support of my family (my dad’s useless, he can’t have a steady job, so my grandpa assumed my expenses so that my dad shouldnt have to pay for child support), and i have wanted to tell him that i wanna live by myself, but i wanna also get my mechanical engineering degree so i can support myself when i graduate, but if i tell him that i wanna live by myself, or with him, he’d say that i shouldn’t live my mother alone, but my mother isn’t alone, we live with her lesbian lover!!, which hates men, so im always in a bad situation, but god knows what would happen if my grandpa found out that my mom is a lesbian and that her lover lives with us.
My mother’s so crazy, she once left her purse on top of her bed, with the covers on top so she didn’t manage to see it, and she couldn’t find it. It was a saturday and i had to go to class. She started thinking that i stole it, i ignored her, then on my way to college, she started sending me text messages threatening that she was gonna call the police on me. Then like two hours later she found it, and didn’t make a big deal about apologizing.
And I’m sick of having to put her whims over my needs…..I’m sick of eating out cuz she can’t even lift a finger to cook, im underweight cuz i didnt have breakfast when i was in high school, not even once, i always had to buy come cookies and yogurt at school to eat, right now, i have to buy my own food, i always have to eat take out food cuz she’s always too lazy to cook. I feel trapped, I wanna carry on with my life, I want a better living situation, i wanna live my own life!!!
Two years ago i started cutting myself cuz i couldnt handle the stress, that lasted for around a year, i even had to take antidepressants for six months…after that, one of the university’s counselor/psychologist recommended that the only way that i could handle this, was trying to minimize the potential drama that would come from her….but im tired, it just feels i cant go on with this anymore…it’s one and a half more years til i graduate, but it feels sooo distant…..
sorry if the question is too long, but i needed to vent this

My girlfriend (22 years old) has TMJ (Temporomandibular joint disorder) and fibromyalgia, she’s always (yes, ALWAYS) in severe pain and has been her whole life… She has a surgery scheduled to correct her TMJ, but she has no way to pay for it and no insurance will cover her…
Is there anything she can do to get her surgery paid for?
I’m 17 and have ADHD (mainly innatentive with some hyperactive and impulsive triats).
I used to have dysgraphia (a type of dyslexia involving problems with drawing and writing) but grew out of it.
I think i may have Aspergers as well as ADHD!!!
I was looking at symptoms of the disorder and it all adds up. I’m unsociable and have an higher than average IQ (138). I hate change and have a load of crazy obsessions…..BUT ANYWAY, i was just wondering how common it is to have both ADHD and aspergers together???
Like ADHD makes me unpridictable, random, quirky and innatentive.
Aspergers makes you quiet, spacific, routine, exact and unsociable.
These two disorders are basicly the opposites! so is it even possible to have them both????
It’s just somehow i feel like i DO have them both!!!!!!
Does anyone know???????
If I am walking somewhere, I would rather add another hour onto my journey by taking a different circuit than pass through a place where I feel uncomfortable. I feel claustrophobic and paranoid in public situations, therefore I avoid going out unless it is necessary or if it is to a place where I feel safe. I worry obsessively; I think about every possible outcome for even the most trivial of situations, such as getting off of a bus, and draw a solution for dealing with it. I can’t look at people when I am talking to them, and I am unable to make eye-contact. Whenever I try to make eye-contact, I get painfully unsettled. A boy at school who I didn’t like started to show an interest in me, so I missed two weeks of school and when I went back, I purposefully evaded all of the areas where he might be, even making excuses to leave lessons early in fear of accidentally meeting him. I ignore all of his text messages and phone calls (I never gave him my number). The thought of him makes me physically sick. I hate walking home when there are crowds leaving the school, and so I always make sure that I am the first person to leave my lesson. If I am late leaving my lesson and the crowds have already appeared, I will wander around the school or hide in the toilets until I am certain that everyone is gone, and then walk home in peace. If I saw someone who I felt uncomfortable about walking on the same side of the road as me, I would cross to the other side. I compulsively lie and make up excuses for everything – which sadly, usually gets me exactly what I want. I detest being around most people and choose to remove myself from social relationships. I savour my own company and love to be alone, even though I also detest myself also. I am a perfectionist and have OCD. I self-harm – through cutting and starving. I avoid making telephone calls and visiting unfamiliar places. If someone rang the doorbell, I would go into panic. If people visit the house, even just relatives, I hide in my bedroom until they have left. I don’t pretend to like people, I am generally selfish, manipulative and deceitful. Most of the time, I don’t even bother talking to people unless they are my idea of ‘perfect’, which I must admit, is rather distorted.
I have been told that I might have Avoidant Personality Disorder and Schizotypical Personality Disorder. I was just curious as to see what you thought about what I have said. Do I fit into this diagnosis? How can I seek help? Please answer. Thank you very much.
All the time, especially when I’m alone, i think someone is reading my mind or looking through my eyes. I’m always paranoid someone is doing this. Not watching me, but watching what im doing through my eyes, and reading my thought. This causes me to talk to myself to make sure that they can hear me so they don’t take what im doing the wrong way.
What’s wrong with me?
