Another practicle query how would people with more than one personality be treated. What if one or more of their alters were male and one or more female? Ah - easy - here it's 'one body one username'. Keeps things simple and straightforward. I know Ben, but that doesn't solve the problem of which b...

Can see both sides of this. I'm a twenty something and do often find myself drawn to the arc as a lurker (too young to post but more in depth conversations/points of veiw etc), but only when i can cope with it. Then again if you created a special board wouldn't it be effectively turning the main boa...

Oh now bojie has a point, I was assuming you meant that only boys could read the boys forum and only girls could read the girls forum. Is that right?? My main problem with this is the 'secrecy' thing. There being a part of the board I can't read - somewhere where things are going on you might not kn...

A general belief is that self injuring is specific for young girls. How does that affect boys who self injure? How are boys expected to handle their feelings? Is there an expectation about how girls should handle their feelings, like anger? What would happen if a girl broke a door out of anger inst...

Just a quick point some men have been sexually abused too and may actually be able to relate really well to emotions that people are going through. i.e. far better than me as i have never been sexually abused. I don't believe men are a different species needing separation. Society may have different...

Thank you guys, I have been looking into the ideas of blame and responsibility a bit - and written out a list of questions to try to ask myself prior to blaming anyone for anything (just have to see if i remember in the spur of the moment) I also went to see my therapist yesturday. We have agreed to...

One of the behaviours I have identified that I need to change is that when something goes wrong - I get very angry and blame anyone other than me for causing it. An example of this is that I went camping earlier in the week. When we (my boyfriend and I) were putting the camping stuff away my mobile ...

Space_man Please don’t take this as aggressive in any way it is merely a reply to the topic of this post and not to any personal argument or grievance you may have. In your post you stated that your idea came: In very basic terms: primarily in the interest of organizing & compartmentalizing; it woul...

meds in particular SSRI's like Prozac, Zooloft etc can make you put on weight so that could be an influencing factor here. You don't mention which meds your on so i can't be sure that it is one of those dreaded 'side effects'. But even if it is due to a side effect of the meds u r on you don't need ...

Sorry babe - i did read this before but you see when i've told my friends it's always been directly after an 'episode' when i really needed some urgent help so they've had to help me first and then figure out how 'crazy' i am. and to be honest they don't really seems interested in learning more. May...

Babe, They can't stop it for you. I know you are hurting right now. But you need to ask them to do what you want them to do. Your family aren't mind readers. They are probably scared too but they dont kow how to help you. what sort of help do you want? How can you go about getting that help? Is ther...

I agree with herebedragons babe, you don't sound ready for sex. I had sex too early. I thougth it was a physical thing and that in response i would get the love i so despirately wanted. It doesn't work like that. I got hurt real bad (and pregnant to boot) but it's 6 years later now and i know that i...

They are realy fantastic steps to make. i'm proud of you for making those decisions. Good Luck with the positive changes to your life

I think i figured out why i slipped up... my couselor told me that i'll be in recovery my whole life b/c cutting is addictive...and just like an acholist...or anything else...i will have slip ups.... So you cut because you will always have slip ups? Do you really believe that? Do you believe that y...

Hi eunomia, firstly I wanted to apologise for taking so long to reply to this. I did read this and was thinking of you. 151 days is an amazing achievement. internet wouldn't work. Don’t you just hate that. I’ve become so dependant on the internet as a coping resource I completely understand what you...

Tamrick, well done for fighting the urge. You are an inspiration to me.

You seem to have a lot of stressors in you life at the moment. Is there anything you can do to take 'time out' - time for just you when you can't dwell on all the issues in your life at the moment?
