I am in my late 20s and from birth I was ill so never formed a secure attachment to my parents.

Open Question: Could a rare case of Dissociative Identity Disorder cause all of this? (Mon, 13 Feb 2012 13:32:09 GMT)
I have to write a short film related to mental health for school, and I would really like to write one in which a guy supposedly has a twin brother, but in the end it's revealed that it's just him. I know that only having one other personality is already rare for people with DID, but what about being aware of that other personality and having a relationship with it? Is that possible? Also, can people with DID hear the voices of their alters and visualize them? Most importantly, if all of this

I'm a freshman in high school, and I eventually want to become a cop, and eventually, a homicide detective. I feel pretty confident about myself and I think I'd do pretty well, but I want to know what the LEOs around here think. Personality wise, I consider myself very mentally strong.

Resolved Question: Do I have a mental disorder? (It's long but worth reading, please help.)? (Sat, 11 Feb 2012 08:14:51 GMT)
Hi, i'm 15 years old and i'm having trouble figuring out why I feel like this. I went to mental health, and they said they've never heard of anything like it.

I'm turning to desperate measures, I just can't stand it anymore. I've had suicidal thoughts, and my emotions are getting all screwed up. This all started happening about 5-7 months ago. I've assu

Resolved Question: Are there any mental conditions associated with thumb sucking? (Wed, 08 Feb 2012 21:02:16 GMT)
I know someone, who is believed by many to have borderline personality disorder. We have had plenty of experiences and observations to prove this-we've even called a hotline number and the police. The way she displays her personality disorder is by doing huge blowups, or tantrums over a certain period of time. At least, that's always the cycle. It can be a confrontation or a nasty phone call. The tantrums that this relative of mine has go on for days. They are hurtful and harassing towards

I met a guy online while I am still in a relationship and became attached instantly. I mean, he was articulate, sane, clean, works hard, dresses good and for some reason or another I can't seem to build anything. I followed him online, stalked his YT, Facebook, music, even went so far into making a fake profile to add friends of his to see who he was talking to and who he was, since he didn't seem inclined into opening up with me. He has a great family, big house everything I never had. I am a

(I have studied psychology both as a grad and undergrad student, but can't offer a real diagnosis without the MMPI-2.) I'm studying forensic psychology so I get diagnosing and labeling, but not how to treat. I certainly do not know how to deal with a future mother-in-law who has it. I could go on for days citing examples. Essentially she always has to be the center of attention, and when she isn't she

My case will be handed to another therapist but my current therapist is the only one i've ever trusted - I've been encouraged over the last year to talk about all my trauma (this trauma work is not completed or anywhere near completed) and now she's leaving and i am expected to just trust some other person.

Voting Question: Why is it considered shallow not to like overweight women? (Sun, 22 Jan 2012 04:44:53 GMT)
Before you jump to conclusion let me provide some specific insight. First of all I don't mean a little extra weight because its impossible to stay in "perfect" shape. I mean girls that would be clinically diagnosed as obese if they had the courage to consult a doctor about it. Next you are going to try to argue that she could have a thyroid disorder. However, it has been proven that people with thyroid disorders can lose weight. Google it. It comes down to the fact that if a girl wants to

Voting Question: Are Personality Disorders The Result Of Sin? (Sun, 15 Jan 2012 23:11:44 GMT)
Sin is causally related to personality disorder in that every psychological disorder reflects, and would not exist except for, the fallen nature of this world and its human inhabitants. Because all of God’s originally good creation has been tainted and twisted by sin, nothing is all that it ought to be, including the mental health of human beings. The effects of sin are distributed unevenly among people in every area of life, so some humans have a greater psychological burden than others when
