Am not OP but also therapist.
Friendship stems from the human need to stick together because sticking together means survival, and interaction with others is how we grow

Sometimes that interaction stops offering us value and when that happens its fairly natural to seek out new interactions that provide better enjoyment and opportunities for evolution, growth and progress.

Makes no sense to stick with friends just because they have always been friends, do what makes you happy so long as it doesnt hurt anyone. You talk as if they piss you off often, maybe you need to question why they are still friends.

Its almost one year that I don't always remember what I dreamt the past night.
But when I remember its always the same thing.
It's a curly redhead, with beautiful green eyes, naked, over me.
I kiss her and nod.
And then she chokes me to death.
And I wake up breathe less and with half a boner.
And I do not know what do.
Help me doc, this thing is driving me crazy.

Always seek professional help if you feel you might need or, more importantly, want it. In principle those dreams prob mean nothing and you are more worried about them than you need to be.

But if you feel you want to talk about it to sort how any related feelings, by all means go talk to someone. Doesnt have to be "getting help", just keeping healthy and happy.

His warm shit log smelled uniquely
He used my mouth as a toilet
His warm log was long and coiled

Every other brat did not respect them
They smelled his logs just to reject him
I promise that I ate the choice confection
There are countless recipes for Andy's warm logs

I lie on my back and stare at his ass roof
Leaking out turds were made into my food
He inspired me to eat more shit

In all seriousness though, if it's disturbing you or your sleep and has an impact on your life, go see a therapist to talk through it. Posting here we cant delve into anything enough to help. Keep a dream journal for a while and write down every detail the moment you wake up, and how you feel. Take that to the therapist you see for better analysis.

how can i get past feelings of shame stemming from childhood sex abuse? i was 10, he was 15, not forced and no penetration, but he used to touch me and tell me to touch him, got his 7yo sister involved and made us do shit with each other

i've recently started coming out as bi but it's taken me a long time because i have been ashamed of being into guys. my brain just instantly starts telling me it's wrong. i have had opportunities to fuck guys but as soon as it starts happening i get afraid and feel powerless. what do?

Hard to say with just that, could by anything from actuve imagination yo obsessive thoughts to repressed anger to..well a shit ton of stuff.

I've got severe depression and absolutely nothing has worked in the past 2 decades.
No amounts of sex or work or hobbies or drugs(prescription or otherwise), or therapists, or psyches have helped.
Can't say i've felt much of anything since age 10 or so outside almost crippling levels of depression. Its gradually gotten worse with age but its been slow enough that i've been able to adapt to it as it goes until fairly recently. Its spiked fairly hard in the past year for no reason i can figure and i'm finding it very hard to justify not killing myself on a constant basis now.
So far i've just been using life excuses to not blow my brains out and get on with shit. Ex: "can't kill myself now i got an appointment at the dentist and that screw them over.", "can't blow my brains out today i got a dinner date planned later what if they think it had something to do with them?", etc. hell, the only reason i get up these days is that it would screw my work over being a man short with no ready replacement.

First know that this is normal and you're ok and will be ok. Time heals, but talking accelerates that. Some things require a lot of talking and thats ok. Sounds like you are doing really well by yourself tbh, coming out is huge. Talking it out can help a lot.

Go see a therapist, will do you a world of good and you will not regret it.

could be a number of things but sounds like alexithymia. Look it up, go talk to someone if it worries you. Not everyone has to experience emotions in the same way, but if it's making you unhappy, investigate further and go talk to a therapist.

We can answer questions on this thread but everyone should also know that issues that concern you will always need much more talk and interaction and q/a than a thread on a shitty board can give. Talk to someone, it'll help.
>>
>>730094116
God I wish I could remember the name of the disorder, really sorry that I don't man, you're textbook. It stems from anxiety and can be treated, also, don't think about it, accept the angry flashes and know you won't act on them, it will lessen the effects and quantity of them.
>>
>>730094310
That's the problem: you think that a therapist will give you a solution, but a therapist is the solution. We don't hand out cures: talking to a therapist and being asked the right questions or thinking about things in a new light is the cure itself.

I can tell you to be more confident, to try to slowly build up to sex with baby steps, to be open with any partners so that they know what you're going through and are considerate and good about it - and it's probably all good advice, but nothing beats talking through something yourself.

How does it feel if you have to invent one disease after another just to look like you were doing something scientifically?
How does it feel to be part of a shadow criminal justice system which is used to lock anybody away without a trial or a court decision just because you label him/her mentally ill?
How does it feel if the roots of your discipline are guys who thought hysteria was caused by a hungry uterus who bites the brain, an Austrian charlatan called Messmer who simply loved to touch teen girls and an idiot called Freud who was obsessed with the non-existing sexual phantasies of little kids?

tl;dr: How does it feel to be the scum of the earth?

>>730094746
you say that and yet you haven't been able to feel for years, and are still here. So any suicidal thoughts (which, btw, please do not go through with) don't have to be related to the lack of emotion, right?
And emotion is only a part of you. If eating a burger and fapping makes you happy, even for a while, that's a good reason to live. Live for the small things, the large things will come

In Buddhism it isn't about getting rid if what makes us human it's about understanding it and trying to live above the wanton. The point of life slowly becomes null to the fact that you just have to live it and find worth in what you do, find worth in what you accomplish. Because there is absolutely no point to living.

The guilt makes my anxiety go through the roof
>>
>>730094885
Mainly yes, but the suicidal thoughts come specifically because of the lack of emotion, I can't find happiness in anything, which makes life just a never ending dull event. At the most I find discomfort and not comfort in life, I have to do tasks that are chores to maintain myself just like everyone else, but unlike everyone else I don't have any opportunities to feel positive emotions to balance it out, making life one long stretch of pointless endeavors.

>>730093990
yup, so long as it doesn't bother you or make you feel bad, and so long as it doesn't affect anyone else, there's nothing wrong with it. Don't worry about being normal, you do you and fap to whatever the fuck you feel like.

I need serious help with grieving. My cousin died unexpectedly at 17 3 months ago. A week before she did, we were supposed to hangout.

>>730095279
Guilt is just dislike of the person you used to be. Accept that the fact that you feel guilt is indicative of rejection of that past version of you, and focus on improving the present version of you. Guilt is good - if you did a shitty thing and don't feel bad, that's more serious.
Sounds to me like you're evolving and becoming a better person. Maybe your friends remind you of a past version of yourself that you don't like?
>>730095489
well depends if she's into it I guess. If she is, be very careful and do your own thing. If she isn't, maybe she's interested in roleplay.
>>730095517
Damn that's rough. Take up other projects, fill your days and find pleasure in small things. Time will pass and it will get better - something will change. She'll come back to you and if she doesn't, it wasn't meant to be and your thoughts will adapt. You're resilient and will be ok.

Don't let your heart grow gold. Let your heart be furtile so her memory can grow in your heart pure. Remember her unflinchingly and with joy so that the best parts of her shape you every day. That way she can't die fully, because she's still in you, affecting this world.

I don't think I've ever read on that before but I'd believe it. Impermanence is an important part of buddhism so it makes sense. Not to say at all that I'm a well versed buddhist or anything, just spent a lot of time hating life. Buddhism helped with accepting things as they come.
>>
>>730095561
Sorry for your loss. Important thing to remember: last isn't best.
You bailed on your last chance, but fuck maybe you'd have ended up arguing or something. That last hangout would have just been one more time you saw her amongst probably lots of other times you spent together throughout your lives. Memory isn't chronological, and if you had met up you'd still be torn up about not meeting up again.
Don't be upset about bailing, you had no way to know this would happen. We can't spend our entire lives spending time with loved ones in case it's the last chance - we need time for ourselves and that's ok.

Because he shouldn't do it. Not gonna help anyone kill themselves over shit that, if they live, they'll get over 5 years later.
And you will. People underestimate time, seriously. By killing yourself you're not just killing who you are, you're killing all future versions of yourself, just to save some temporary suffering.
Please, don't do it. Get help. Talk. In 10 years you might be happy, and it's worth the risk to give it a try.

Psychology has come a long way since then. Science didn't exactly begin as the most objective of studies, but as we became more objective and reasoning over time, the hard sciences have become parsimonious disciplines. With psychology we're slowly getting there, but still have a lot to learn because ultimately, we're attempting to unravel more complex mysteries, a large amount of which we have to make inferences about due to their being unobservable/unmeasurable.

tldr: science had fucked up roots, too, and you're overselling the whole "shadow justice system" diagnosis thing. It's not as simple as that

>>730096530
well water helps mate, we do sort of need that to survive. You know what helps me with water intake? Shot glasses. Get a big shot glass (3-4 gulps) and keep that and a bottle next to your computer. Every time you see it or notice it, drink a shot of water. The bottle is gone before you realise it. Sounds wierd but works.

And answer the questions, how long does it last and do you get headaches afterwards? Also do you have trouble recognising your surroundings or other people when it happens? Does lying down make it better or worse?

Faggot
>>
>>730096821
yeah pot does that. If it makes you feel bad don't smoke it. If you enjoy the high, try edibles instead, it's a different kind of high, maybe less paranoid.
you probably don't have squizophrenia. Anxiety is waayy more common.

Drink more water, and when it happens let it happen, know that it's a part of you and don't let it worry you. If it's anxiety that'll help a bit, and with time it'll pass.

>>730096831
well why do you get drunk? Do you feel shitty while crying or just cry?

Does mindfulness actually work for anxiety?
>>
>>730096959
Anxiety sounds accurate then. School can be rough as hell, anyone telling you that teen years are the best of your life have some high-ass nostalgia glasses on.

School is when you're emotional, hormonal, learning how the world works and everyone treats you like your opinion doesn't matter yet. It'll get better man, bear with it. Anxiety is normal, wait for things to stabalise as time passes.

I know it's not this simple, but if doing X causes Y, and you don't like Y, stop doing X. If you can't have fun without drinking, either get high instead, or find company that you can enjoy while sober

>>730097150
Yes, it does. Not because of any spiritual bullshit (although believe that if you will), but because it practices breathing, relaxing and meditation, which help you put your thoughts in order.
Think of your mind like a room with lots of boxes full of stuff. As thoughts come and go throughout the day you remove things from the boxes, but don't get time to put them away. Eventually you trip and fall over something.
Mindfulness is a form of meditation that helps you keep that room tidy.

If his anxiety is that bad, he should probably go to a doctor.

I had horrible anxiety back in school, but I just thought it was general nervousness and being an introvert. Turns out, no, blacking out because you have to talk to a teacher is not normal, and I actually have crippling anxiety that I likely need meds for.

But now I'm an adult with no insurance and no money, so society tells me to suck it up. Anxiety doesn't always just go away, sometimes you need help.

Thanks ^-^ I plan on moving but I don't know if I can wait that long, I'm 18 working in finance plus I'm afraid I'll move and because I don't know anyone just be even more lonely

Yeah you're right.

Look into Alexithymia and rethink your budget. If this is ruining your life to the extent that you say, can you afford not to go? Is it more important than your internet connection or than a video game? Make a change, a huge one. What have you got to lose?

Also move to a country with healthcare that includes therapy where needed ffs.

bpd has a chronic stigma attached among mental health professionals. people have no idea how to treat them and as a result they are rightfully cynical about getting treatment.

Guernsey, 60,000 population, people accept it but that's as far as they go.

Plus because of the size of the island I have to get treatment in the UK as a private patient, gonna be like 10 months before I'm on hormones so it's not like I even look that fantastic either

this, where?
Also if you're 18 you've essentially only been a conscious person for 5 years, have got another 60+ left. Look at everything you've learned in the last few years and all you've accomplished -
imagine how awesome you'll be in another 10 years.
Life is long, especially while you're young. Patience is hard but time will go by, like it or not. Just bear with the shittiness until it has. You're doing great.

hard to predict whether or not they're gonna be harmful to themselves or others and so people get scared easily. They're actually just as likely as anyone else to actually do harm, but not everyone realises that.

I feel for you, but you're still young with lots of life to live
Nobody starts where they need to be, you need to make the journey
And once you're there, you'll realize the journey was the most exciting and interesting part
Take a leap, you won't regret what you learn from it :)

nothing is wrong with them any more than anyone else, just different things (i thoroughly believe that everybody's crazy in some way or another). they know this and that's why they hate being treated the way they are treated and therefore act out, which ironically fuels the cycle.

i've had partners with bpd and yes, they can be manipulaitve, but it is often unconscious and defensive and they can be extremely insightful. they need to feel valid and respected and they are fine.

Absolutely, there's such a huge world out there and so many people in it, I plan on travelling when I can afford to, my pay isn't bad but at the same time you can't expect much from being a trainee pensions admin.

There's so much out there to experience but I don't want to do it alone, things just seem mundane at the moment, I'm still recovering from a depression outbreak I had which made me drop school and be a NEET for 6 months, once that's over I hopefully will be able to manage

Thanks guys <3

I have to be off, guys (I'm the spanish therapist who's not OP who has been answering).

Most important thing I can say is:
If you feel something that you think might be wierd/not normal, but it doesn't hurt you or others and doesn't hurt your lifestyle, it's probably ok. Don't worry about it, being you > being normal.

If you feel something that worries you and hurts you/others and/or impedes your lifestyle, go talk to someone about it. Even if it's a stranger. blahtherapy.com is sometimes shit but also sometimes ok, although it's no substitute for a real therapist. And if you need one but think you can't afford one, you need to ask yourself how important your mental health is to you vs other things you spend money on. Change is good, and time heals.

We're all human and we're all good and bad. Do your best and don't hurt others or yourself. Everything will be ok.

Best of luck to you

You'll reach all your dreams and goals with that attitude
Just remember that you don't need a person to fulfill your life, you need a fulfilling life to share with a person
