So, I've been in a relationship with this girls now for about two months or so, and things are going ok, but one thing that is kind of upsetting me is the fact that she'll misuse terms related to mental health. She's opened up to me about some of her problems, and she goes to therapy, so I'd...

So, I kind of go on here infrequently being enrolled in university full time and what not, but I've been feeling kind of low lately and just kind of need a pick me. The problem is that I don't have any friends up here with whom I feel comfortable talking to about my problems. I feel like they...

Welcom HAlex, and hope you enjoy the forum. I can empithize a little with you, I was raped shortly after turning 17, and it was by someone who I had considered a friend at the time. For a long time it was really hard for me. I didn't tell anyone until almost a full year later, but what I found...

So, it's a Friday night, and I'm alone in my dorm with my girlfriend. You'd think we'd be having a good time (nothing sexual mind you). I was for awhile, until I got triggered/stressed. We were watching the Simpsons marathon (my favorite show growing up) on FXX. It was the episode where Homer...

I'm in the same boat as @RussH about my parents not really abusing me but comparing me to my older brother who got a 4.0 and played 5 sports on the varsity or junior varsity level. Plus they also tried to push their dreams onto me because I was more mature than he was and they knew that if I...

Only some of the time I'm afraid of hurting others. With the medication I'm on, my mood has stabilized quite a bit in the past year and a half, but that doesn't mean I don't still get extremely enraged or extremely depressed and stuff. From my perspectives, being a victim of great trauma has two...

Great post @shimmerz, really gets your brain going. For me, I think that the opposite of love lies within each situation, and can vary based off of the topics presented. If we are talking about people, and/or living things I think the opposite of love is fear. I love people who are brunettes and...

It's hard for me to determine whether or not I'm "more educated" than the person who assaulted me seeing as how I never wish to contact them again, but I think I am. I was more educated than her before it happened academically speaking, and I haven't deveated from my academic success. But in...

Topics:depression, suicide, rape, abuse, I don't really know where to start with everything, so bear with me if I jump around a lot. Growing up everything at home seemed "normal" or "ok" until I hit about 6th grade. That was when everything kind of hit me at once. My parents and brother have...

Thank you for posting this @fly away home, it seems like such an easy question to ask, but it is seldom asked enough. Right now things are actually pretty good despite my almost restless night last night and my trouble adjusting to college. Sleeping for the little time I did last night helped...

I'm not enrolled with disability services, but I don't personally feel like I need to. I'm a week ahead in classes thankfully, and maintained a 3.8 GPA in high school despite playing 5 sports and taking 7 AP classes. I've always been able to succeed academically (transferring in almost 2 year...

I don't know if this post fits in this thread completely, but it's the one that's most apt to my feelings of what is happening to me. As a freshman in college, I had the initial stress and excitement of getting a new start somewhere and meeting all new people. After having to transfer high...
