My first T would ask me where I was, or what I was thinking about. And then try to bring me back to where I am, just making me point out things in her office, so I would be present. She once suggested eye contact, but I told her I hated it and it made me really uncomfortable, but maybe it might...

Hi. I'm not bipolar, but I do relate to this, especially right now. I too have been struggling with depression, for quite some time now actually, but it's been getting worse more recently, for a number of different reasons. I too, just wish if I could just get away from everyone and everything...

I don't take it anymore but I used to. I took it for about 4 months. I found it really did help with my sleep and my depression, especially the sleep. But had to stop taking it because it was making me gain too much weight for that short period of time. I wish I didn't have to though because I...

I think I'll try writing it down and then give her the paper when I go because I don't think I will be able to say it to her.

I am in counselling, but I just don't know how to bring it up. It's embarrassing to say out loud and I'm afraid of my T's reaction.

For me that's my problem too because he would do nice things sometimes. But everyone thinks that I should hate him, and if I don't then I must have wanted it. But it's just that they don't know about all those other nice things he would do. I just don't know what to think about all of it...

Hi. I've experienced multiple traumas, all of which are either sexual assault or sexual abuse while I was a child. The thing is that I know I should be angry at all of them or have some feeling related to that, and I kinda do for the most part. But for some reason, one of them who was...

Maybe, you can try telling them that you're just in between jobs at the moment. Or, you can say that you're currently considering a career switch, where you have left your old job as you weren't feeling fulfilled by it, and so you are currently trying to figure out what it is you truly want...

Yeah, same with the boundaries for me too. And it doesn't help that I'm spineless, so I might at first refuse whatever they're asking for, but eventually I just give in and do it.

I'm more thinking that although they're using me, it's because I chose it, not someone forcing me. Or, I think that it's not like it's anything new because this is normal, and it's basically what I am, so even though the abuse stopped, I still need to do it because it's what I'm supposed to do...

I do the same thing, but I don't know why. In the moment, it's like I don't care, and even after but to a lesser extent.

With dangerous sex, I find the worst, most-threatening looking person or someone who online is talking about inappropriate things, or someone who doesn't look trustworthy, or something like that, to basically go to their house and have sex, even though I don't know them. Or, I'll have sex with...

This might help too: Hypersexual Disorder Or Just A High Sex Drive? The Profile Of A Sex Addict

This reminds me of myself, in a way. My therapist said it was hypersexual behaviour, which can be due to different reasons. Like you, I too, as weird as it sounds, feel this need to have sex with my abuser, despite being absolutely terrified of him, and knowing that I don't want to and...

Venlafaxine, Wellbutrin, and Trazadone (although that one is also for sleep too)

Euthanasia would be when a patient is unbearable pain and suffering that cannot be alleviated by modern medicine and/or other traditional methods. That despite using what is available today, as it is, there is no way to alleviate their condition (there might be a few but the patient chose to...

The fear is that once we although we might be considering euthanasia here, in good faith, that we will inevitably lead to a point where we are no longer killing to help others, but to help ourselves. We start considering all the reasons for euthanasia for mentally ill patients, all of which come...

I say the Nazis because they did kill the mentally ill and disabled because he saw them as a threat to his goal of creating his supreme race because they would make the line impure. He did target other people, but his first set of victims to be exterminated were the mentally and physically disabled.

I think the fear is a reasonable fear, because it has happened, and unfortunately it has happened a lot. The most notable case is the Nazis. I think it's reason behind it is that, if we allow it here in this case, despite the positive reasons behind, it only works to set make it more acceptable...

While I agree that it would be difficult, if not impossible, to determine if someone suffering from PTSD and depression and other mental illnesses is competent, I think we should consider the other stuff as well. Many of us, myself included, fall within the group which has not yet exhausted all...

Hey, I know that must suck. What do u wanna chat about?

My therapist often says that I should stop trying to think of the best way to say it before I say it. She said that I should just say whatever is in my mind right at the moment and stop trying to find the best wording so it sounds "right" for her, whether that is me trying to downplay it, or me...

Yeah, I feel like whenever I look too hard for hope (and other things too), I get two outcomes: either I find nothing and get depressed, or I find something, but it is the opposite of what I was looking for and I get depressed. So now I don't try to look too hard, I just do things as they come...

Yeah, I think I do. I mean a couple times for the month I volunteer at the hospital on the Adult Mental Health Unit. I started doing it because I used to volunteer on another unit but I didn't really enjoy it too much and they needed volunteers on that unit, so I said okay. At first it made me...

I am from Jamaica, but I now live in Canada.
