    When You Talk About Yourself!

    Hmm. I sort of have diarrhea of the mouth when it comes to me. I tell everyone everything. But when people make me mad I fly off the handle too, and if they make me too mad they are basically dead to me. There's a slew of people that literally call me craZy Sandra. Which is fine with me. But we...

    Experiences With Celexa And/or Wellbutrin?

    I have been on many things, the longest run of any one drug was Zoloft. I stopped taking it about a year ago, and asked for Wellbutrin, which my doc prescribed with a warning that it could cause problems for people who don't have a healthy way of venting negative energy - might cause anger or...

    Anger

    I still have raging anger issues, eleven years after diagnosis. I moved to the mountains a few years ago and try to channel my negative energy into being in nature. It doesn't hurt that I moved away from a city with lots of bad history either - and it works most of the time

    Thank you everyone for reading and replying. I really feel much better, the panic is subsiding and now I'm just exhausted. I think I will try to have a conversation with him about this soon.

    Yes, this is my first post, I just found this place today, because I've worked myself into a complete mess, I'm literally sick with stress over this nonsense, and needing some outside perspective. He is just 22, and I'm acutely aware of everything that's been said here - why can't I trust...

    My gut says this is a problem. I have to find the courage to tell him I can't be a secret, and I need to do it soon. My mental state is deteriorating fast, and if this actually ends badly I feel I will need to seek in house treatment asap.

    New Lover

    we do discuss the future. His family does not know about me. No one does. He tells me to hold on, we will eventually be together. I do feel that the sex is very motivating for him.
