Personally I would ask the ex if I had my doubts. I know many men that out of fear of loosing you will not tell you the truth. You cannot be sure you get the truth but I am fine with asking. I tell myself that I am accepting of isolation but it can drive anyone crazy with doubt. If anything it...

I'd negotiate with my partner if there was something involving touching that could be done such as exchanging massage or just light back scratching... I also deregulate with love-making and it is completely normal and natural. Have you considered a full body massage? Would that give pleasure or...

I never thought of it that way! This is extremely helpful. I had an experience like this which was tactile not visual. I was alone in my bed and not asleep. I felt my body being touched. It was terrifying in the sense that I did not know if this was a form of ESP, some psychotic episode ...the...

He is too ashamed. We talk about other people with the issue. First characters in books and films, then people we knew and I realized that he didn't lack knowledge about the subject. Finally, came the admission "I get like that" and " It's disgusting how I treat you". He has never talked about...

It sounds really tough what you went through Hojay. Four years of disengaging has paid off for me. I feel as much anger as I would watching something on Netflix. I feel nothing. These outburst come completely out of the blue and he looks so ashamed and horrified. We went through a period where...

In 2008, when I was complaining about depression only, I was prescribed Seroquel and was told I would have to take it for the rest of my life. It was bad but Zyprexa was much worse for me. I got very suicidal. I am one of many that should have never been given anti psychotic medicine. I believe...

@joeylittle I first heard the term sufferer on this forum. I have met too many people who claim to have ptsd when their official diagnosis is schizophrenia, bipolar or some pd. Why? I believe they feel that there seems to be less of a stigma that way. A dear friend said to me said that dealing...

@lfs:All antipsychotics have been associated with the risk of sudden cardiac death due to an arrhythmia (irregular heart beat). To minimize this risk, antipsychotic medications should be used in the smallest effective dose when the benefits outweigh the risks. Seroquel XR (quetiapine) is an oral...

From same article: A millionaire couple is threatening to create a magic mushroom monopoly "There is no dispute that the depression medications market—valued at $14.51 billion worldwide in 2014 and predicted to grow to $16.80 billion by 2020—holds the potential of lucrative returns for...

On effectiveness of meds from anti depressents to anti psychotics @joeylittle: " I'm one of those fat sexless zombies you're describing.. " My apologies if I inadvertently offend anyone. I certainly mean no disrespect by what I say. "The psychiatry community sees enough effectiveness from the...

With Psilocybin, you take it once. The depression doesn't return in most cases and most say they wouldn't want to go on the "trip" again as it is too intense. Anything we take can have long term and permanent effects. I was never the same after all the prescribed drugs but the key word here is...

Exactly...not about maintaining...not about addiction...Similar to Psilocybin according to researchers at John Hopkins is being tested as a future potential CURE for depression. While anti depressants address symptoms, the active ingredience in magic mushrooms might someday be shown to...

That is pretty clear to me. If I dissociate, that’s a big red flag that this is something mega dangerous. I may or may not realize that I am in this state but it means huge instability and stress. It sort of feels like I have become invisible. If I am numb, it is less of a feeling and more of a...

Everyone has a different level of what they can tolerate in terms of anger. I don’t loose my temper or raise my voice. I express my anger when the charge or the emotion is no longer with me. I am consistent and have been for years. He still tries to pick fights with me but as soon as his voice...

He is exactly to the t as the girl described in the other thread. The thread I referred to describes the guilt I feel. It must be my fault because he seems so together when he is not around me. But I haven't forgotten the gaslighting. I just wish I could make him laugh. Its all I ever wanted and...

I got all the help I needed by reading this thread: Relationship - Lacking Accountability For Her Actions And Punishing Me I identify with the poster who started the thread. He does a much better job apparently at describing the situation I am in. The only difference is that in my case even...

It been a year since I had enough. Due to verbal abuse and explosive anger, I would only see him for a few hours where he works. In that year he exploded twice and since it put his job at risk, I got my proof that this was not something he did intentionally. I made sure that he did not loose his...

Sweet_E what a lovely and thoughtful response. I wish I could like it more than just once. I have always been able to separate sex from feelings. I fell deeply in love and that is when desire can drive us insane. I chose my sanity but the desire lingers...fingers and fantasy cannot replace the...

I find this topic triggering as I have been on your hubby's perspective and the fustration level lead me to leave. I've been in sexless relationships and they work best for me when there is a practical reason for some arrangement. The best way to be fair is to focus on hubby's wants and needs on...

10 years complete meltdown, lots of isolation and anxiety...but feel recovered now. Oh I do get symptoms but it is all relatively good now. One thing that really helped me and the anxiety was a course I took on eft tapping (for free lessons see utube). The upside is that it is painless...

I think that you are going to be alright saraemerald moving forward. Just look at how many times you write "WAS" in your last post. That means that you are already less vulnerable. Its ok to be and feel a bit selfish. Its ok to be the real you. :-)

" I enjoyed killing them with kindness. " I do that a lot :-) If you are being passive aggressive at the same time, it can be very hurtful. You will be respected and admired if you can consistently take the high road. I don't believe in sin. My moral compass is whether or not I would be willing...

I do not like using terms like "psychopaths" cause it means so many different things to different people. Psychopaths do not have to be murders or even sadists. "The hallmarks of what’s typically seen as a psychopath include a lack of empathy and feeling for others, selfishness, lack of guilt...

I am going to add to your reading list this website Self-Compassion Resources | Kristin Neff It contains some short helpful mp3 tapes and its totally free. Some people find that it takes a lot of energy to get close to others but for me it takes a lot of energy to keep that smiling mask on...

So...I was really good as an engineer but my ADHD would get me fired more often than not. To deal with the rejection, I devised a neat little trick. I would always put a little bit of money aside each pay day and when they'd fire me off I would go on vacation. I can't control what life throws at...
