I think I'm misdiagnosed with schizophrenia.

I only have the negative symptoms (though very severely).

I also hear my 'own voice' in my head, it's my own self controlled voice. This was according to the professor who diagnosed me enough to qualify as auditory hallucination but I'd disagree with that.

I've (thankfully) never had real psychosis.

I've also never had catatonia , or disorganized behavior/thinking, or delusions.


Now I'm gonna get treatment for schizophrenia. And I don't think I have this. I need help though with the problems I actually have but the professor is retired now and I don't know what to do. No psych is gonna undo a diagnosis of a professor.

:/

Hypothetically, say you lost a bet or something along those lines. As penalty, you are going to let another dude step on and grind your fingers for 60 seconds and you're crazy enough to go through with it. He gives you a choice between a pair of work boots with heavy lugs or a pair of newer skate shoes with a lot of treading. He cannot stomp. The hand has to be palm down and will be on a concrete garage floor. He weighs about 170 or 180 lbs. The hands will be held in place.

I play guitar and don't mind being out for awhile because my fingers are sore but I want to avoid having my fingers broken. So, my questions:

1. Which pair do you think will do the least damage and why?

2. Is it a given that fingers will be broken or will it just hurt bad? If it's a given that they'll be broken, just grinding them won't move things around so they aren't usable again or they're mangled will it?

So here I am, 25 and losing my hair. What do you guys think, should I just shave it off or roll with it?

Been thinking about buzzing it down, honestly.

A person who said they feel like my protector and loved me has not come to my defense.

The individual in question keeps sharing our private conversations about our disputes with his friend, who later attacks me, calls me names and generates negative titles that I have not been called in my life ever before.

I care little for the opinion of a stranger, however, I feel betrayed that the person here who claim that I matter to them, saw all those things and hasn't at least taken a step to prevent the friend from insulting me. They claimed they have said in private to the friend to calm down, but if they have said it in front of me, it would mean they disagreed with foul opinions their friend had.

Is there any way to rebuild trust? I do not feel I could share anything personal again, nor bring up the issues, like this one, for it would mean they will just be shared again so I could be attacked by people who I don't even know and indirectly criticized by them.

tl;dr How do I approach the subject of my girlfriend's weight?

She's gained about 70lbs and has gone from a size 8 to a size 22. I still love her, but I'm no longer attracted to her. We haven't had sex in about 3 months and the last time we did I found no attraction to her body.

How do I talk to her about it? Do I suggest we start going to gym or something?

How do I get a prescription for adderall or vyvanse without talking to a psychiatrist? Can I talk to my normal primary care physician for it?

I'm in a situation where I need medication to focus, work, take care of myself. Without it I'll end up homeless. Not interested in fixing whatever is wrong with me, been diagnosed Bipolar in and out of a psych ward, medication doesn't go through, doctors don't approve their own prescriptions, the time and the struggle of trying to get help as someone on medicaid has drained me. Even if I didn't invest emotionally into the process and tried to treat it as business, it would still take months to see a doctor and get medication, months I don't have. Its getting to the point where I would need to buy medication from someone for medical use, because of our wonderful system that obviously works.

Any advice? I'm 19 living in northern NJ, moving to a shit hole in NY with my family in a week and a half because were bankrupt and can't afford to pay rent on anything, thanks to the charity of a friend of my brother we have a one bedroom apartment kind of thing to stay in. About five people. Maybe six.

If I stay there I'll stagnate and kill myself eventually while high on something, that isn't emotional or a cry for help, I will find a way to do it painlessly as I have in the past. The only thing that helped me get through the days were getting high, painting, and listening to music, I didn't really need anything else but its gotten worse.

Would appreciate any advice, wondering what kind of job I can land. Got a chronic back problem too so would prefer something where I didn't have to carry fifty plus pounds daily, worked construction building decks and balconies as a carpenter's assistant for a month, got sacked because I couldn't do it anymore. Should be wearing a brace, can't even find it.

Why the fuck am I so tired all the time, like I literally have not had one good day. Every day I'm so tired I can't do anything because I feel so spacey and out of it. At the end of the day I always have a headache from fatigue, my eyes feel like someone's pushing their thumbs into them, and as soon as I lay down and close my eyes my head starts pulsating. I think maybe its in my head and I look in a mirror and my eyes are sunken and black and I'm literally colorless. Every day I feel sick and every morning I wake up so tired I don't even know where I am. This caused me to ruin my grades in school and I have no future. I can't work I can't even have a social life im so tired. I literally feel more exhausted then people who work just sitting around all day. If I'm lucky I feel alright for 3 hours then after that I start feeling my eyes sting and turning black and I start feeling like shit.

I can't even sleep at night. I blow off every responsibility and I'm fucking going mad. Every night I lie awake grinding my teeth and sweating getting so angry at how I can do nothing. My nights are filled with terror and stress and my days are full of sickness. Its literally been like this since I was 12. People tell me I'm lazy and its my fault but I'm so god damn tired I can't even go do something after 10 o'clock. I talked to my doctor about it and he doesn't seem to grasp how tired I am and he gives me pills for the nausea it gives me. Its destroying my health I keep rapidly gaining and losing weight, my hairs thinning, I'm always shaky jittery and sweating, I can't adjust to cold tempatures like at all. What little bit of money I manage to save with no job I spend on weed because its the only thing that helps me sleep better and it gives me a bit of energy during the day to at least do a couple chores. My parents keep yelling at mento work and I say I'm too tired and they say its because I do nothing.

I want to ruin my life and start camming for money but my current laptop webcam is potato quality and I'm wondering if should shell out for an HD webcam or tough it and wait for someone to gift it to me(which is unlikely).

It's just that I've seen other girls get gifted webcams and I want that too but I think it's better to come out the gate swinging and have HD from the get go. I honestly seen it as an investment, a cost I can potential recoup in a day or so.(If anyone comes in my damn room).

Help me out here guys.

>desensitized my dick from years of deathgrip
>started dating girl, lose virginity
>discover I have extreme difficulty achieving orgasm during sex
>initially whatever, still feels good
>she starts becoming self-conscious over the fact that i'm not cumming
>thinks she's doing something wrong
>reassure her that it's fine I still enjoy the sex a lot and the problem will go away in time
>it's been two months now
>I only managed to cum from PIV once when we didn't use a condom
>sex has been becoming less frequent lately
>I casually try to start some intimacy this week
>She becomes really depressed all of the sudden
>Says she feels like a bad girlfriend because she's tired and exhausted all the time
>Wants to have sex with me, but doesn't have two hours to devote to it
>Tell her we don't have to go for two hours, one hour, or even 30 minutes
>I just want to be intimate for a little while and make her feel good
>She tells me she feels guilty and that the sex feels one-sided, that it's starting to affect her orgasm
>Starts crying and telling me she's worried I'm going to find someone that "does it" for me and I'm going to leave her because she "can't keep up"

I don't know what the fuck to do. It certainly doesn't help that now when we *do* have sex there's this immense pressure for me to cum that just makes it harder to do so. I refrain from porn and masturbation these days for her but it's been a lot harder now that we aren't fucking so often.

I've mentioned to her that I'd like to see a GP/specialist about the issue but it just upsets her more because she's absolutely convinced that it's a problem with her and feels bad that I think it's me.

A question for girls here (I know there are lots) -- did any of you manage to permanently lose some weight? Did it actually change anything in your life? Did it make you happier?

I think my friend is paranoid schizophrenic, or something. Maybe just manic depressive. Anyway, we've been friends for a really long time, and after a couple days of not having a phone, he sends me this message on Facebook, which to me is out of the blue becuase we just hung out on Friday.

How do I bring this up, and how can I help him?

What are some signs that an older girl might give a younger guy if she wants to be kissed or have some physicality? I'm 20, she's 26.

I'm pretty oblivious and only have experience with girls my same age. Tonight we're going on our 3rd date, havent done a move yet, and tonight it is movie+dinner near her place.
