    Anyone With Vulvodynia, Vestibulitis Or Pain With Intercourse?

    I had problems with this for some time. I also lost the ability to orgasm completely because I'd get stinging pains. My vulva would randomly get red and puffy as though it were infected, it would burn to pee - all tests would come up negative for infections. Turns out it was the birth control I...

    Sexual Assault I Have A Serious Problem With What Happened On The Main Forum

    Heather. Supporting you does NOT mean agreeing with you all the time. If you did not care what any of us thought, you would not have posted this where everyone could read it. I wish you luck in finding what you need to be at peace.

    Making Lemonade Out Of Lemons

    Your title made me think of my favorite quote from a video game I enjoy... "All right, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade. Make life take the lemons back. GET MAD! I DON'T WANT YOUR DAMN LEMONS! WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO WITH THESE?! DEMAND TO SEE LIFE'S MANAGER...

    Hypersexuality And Ptsd

    I am glad someone made this thread. I, too am hypersexual. I often put stress on my relationship with my boyfriend because I am rabid about being able to have sexual relations, though this has eased in the past year and a half. I feel a great burden of guilt because of it... I wonder why I...

    Sexual Assault I Have A Serious Problem With What Happened On The Main Forum

    Just to throw in the alternate point of view also: Perhaps this man is proud of surviving that physical trauma in some way, or perhaps is thankful that he did not totally lose his hand. He may feel self conscious about this now mutilated part of his body, and is trying to gain the confidence to...

    The Concentration Problems Are Hurting My Work

    Thank you for your replies, everyone. I figured that I was not alone with these problems... not that I want any of you to have concentration and memory problems also! :( Obviously it gets worse as my sleep schedule gets weirder and weirder. Ironically I am at work right now (my day job selling...

    The Denial Wall

    Last night I've felt so overhwelmed I don't know what to do. The .5 mg of Xanax helped a lot for a while but it eventually wore off. I've been having more and more nightmares. I don't know if I'm doing it to myself or what because I've been thinking about my trauma and trying to work through it...

    The Concentration Problems Are Hurting My Work

    I suffer from a lot of PTSD (and subsequently anxiety) related concentration problems where I simply can no longer stay focused on the task at hand. I get irritated with it or angry at it. This is especially true when I have an illustration to work on but I've encountered a problem that I need...

    ED Binge eating ? overeating ?

    Not entirely sure, to be perfectly honest with you. It's one of those things I plan on talking to my T about next month. I just kind of have scattered memories of sneaking to the fridge to get food and eating it in the bathroom so she wouldn't find me. And I'd eat it as fast as possible, it'd...

    ED Binge eating ? overeating ?

    I think it's a little deeper for me. It started when I was around 10 and my mom started drinking. I wasn't abused - she never laid a hand on me, always had a roof over my head, but it was the beginning of it as a coping habit. "Yo-yoing" at a certain weight and totally binging as soon as I hit...

    Chi gung, yoga, tai chi, acupuncture, martial arts, meditation (eastern)

    By the way, Tai Chi done right should make you sweat. They are movements and poses done slowly as the weight transfers from one leg to the other. Usually after an hour long class my legs quiver and I have sweat beading up on my face. Interestingly enough, the movement "Parting the wild horse's...

    ED Binge eating ? overeating ?

    Thank you. I think what irritates me is the fact that I know I can lose the weight, I have no medical problems preventing me from losing the weight - I just lose my mind.

    ED Binge eating ? overeating ?

    Yeah my therapist always tells me you can have habits and symptoms of something, but not necessarily be completely disordered. 99.7 kilos. I think I'll stop at 220 this time and try to get my head straight. It's going to be a hell of a fight.

    ED Binge eating ? overeating ?

    -nod- thanks for your input everyone. I think they are considered "disordered eating habits" but not necessarily an eating disorder?

    I know how you feel, I hit these wills just as you describe - sometimes for no reason. I wish I had advice for you beyond the fact that you're not alone.
