Dr Bill, I've been depressed as long as I remember actually. I remember not so happy childhood, and that empty feelings started very early, like since I was 10 maybe. I've had friends, but not a...

Hi, KBC. To answer your questions, when I was taking the pills I didn't feel better in a slightest, no change whatsoever. And my psychiatrist at that time didn't advise that it's a must to take them....

Oh, and, my work is a bit high profile and I'm sensitive about how people will judge me for being successful but depressed.

I've been drowning myself into work so that I can forget the fact that I...

Neverme, thanks again. I do agree that natural treatment is the best way. I tried anti-depressants already and nothing changed.
It's hard to find therapists in this country. Most people here are...

Hi jackaloo, sorry for very late reply. Yes, I'd still really appreciate the talk.

Maybe my posts are too long or my questions too broad... but I'd really appreciate your help.

The reason I bury myself in work (1 fulltime 3 part-times) is because I don't want to just stay home...

Hi, is there a possibility I can skype with members, esp experts? I really can't sleep. And I feel depressed even more when I know I can't discuss my personal problems with my parents. I hate that...

Speaking as a depressed person with different problems, I know it's hard to break the vicious cycle (as in being too afraid of saying the wrong thing to people and subsequently isolating yourself...

I'm very proud of my qualifications and so on, but deep down, I feel I'm pathetic and really desperate to have close friendship and working relationship. I feel pathetic even more because everyone...

Neverme, I can never thank you enough. I felt better reading your post until I stupidly checked my phone and found no sms from him. I called all day, no answer. What I’ve done is to just ignore my...

Hello, first off, I'd really appreciate not having this thread merged into my previous ones on mental health and relationships. I want to focus on getting pass tonight and this week. I was just on...

A question about healing and closure

I'm trying to heal and most of the time I feel great with my super busy careers that are going just great. The jobs keep me so occupied I didn't have so much...

My previous questions about my relationship with my then boyfriend were merged here but I just thought it'd be less confusing if I just a post a new question on a new thread.

My LD boyfriend (now...

Wow, now I feel like an idiot with all threads are merged like that. But thanks anyway though. It makes me see things a bit clearer, in a bigger picture. I started the thread about depression because...

Referring to my long question How can I get over the past? I have an urge of not picking my boyfriend at the airport after 16 Hours plus flights to see me... he has my address but there can be a...

Thanks pixie, but the point is that everything is in the past now. His ex returned the apartment key in his mailbox and she stopped calling him for 3 months now. Everything is over. But the problem...

Now in LDR we talk for an hour everyday (despite both of us being extremely busy with work). He will come visit me for a month this coming weekend. We even started talking about him moving...

I'm in an LDR with a guy who will come see me in just a couple of days... and I was so excited about that... all seemed rosy but there were these past fights popping over in my head and I'm not sure...

He was the one who said he would try to get a job here in my country. And when I asked him if it's really OK for him leaving his friends and family just to be with me; he said living here could be...

I've been in an LDR for 2 months (we started dating the beginning of this year and I moved back home in March, before going back to visit him twice in May and June - so it's been 2 months now since...

A month ago my boyfriend confessed to me that he lied about sleeping with his ex during our previous 'break' just to test my reaction and my jealousy level... The thing is when my boyfriend told me...

Great advice Chey and Thank you Talaniman; late reply is always better than none.
We've lived together before so the whole distance/dependence on internet thing doesn't mean that we don't know each...

I would really appreciate your answer to my question as to why you thought my boyfriend is just a stranger to me. Is it just because of the duration? Are all 6 month-old bf/gf's just strangers?
...

We actually lived together before when I was in his country, working. Now that my working contract ended and I got a new job offer back at home, we've been apart for 3 weeks now. Yes, the...

Thanks, but I think you misunderstood me and my insecurity in some ways. First of all, I'm a very confident person (even too much sometimes in my friends' opinion), with my looks, education, work,...

Thank you. I agree with you to some extent, Winding. I think a lot of people these days (mostly, in my opinion, Americans... no offence whatsoever, but all the American media, writings, people that...

Thank you for your replies. Yes, I think you're right, we have different expectations. For me, disappearing for more than one day is a biggie, because LD is fragile in general, and especially in our...

I'm now in a long distance relationship with an older guy/foreigner, we've been dating for 6 months now. We had arguments in the past but things are starting to get much better now and I want to try...

I'm a 25 year old straight woman who likes watching porn (alone) who has always dated men. But every time I watch porn I get much more aroused by female's body than that of men. I don't know why,...

Well, no one really knows the true answer. We need a poll for that.

Personally, as a woman, I prefer the standardised missionary position during lovemaking because we can see each other's faces...

Had something similar to Chrissymarie, just a change from puke to my menstruating blood. And it happened during the FIRST sex with my current boyfriend. When we changed position, he said casually,...

I'm sorry but I do find your post funny.

I'm about to finish my grad school (which is in Europe btw). I've traveled to around 10 European countries during my 2-year Master's, with or without a...

Not sure if this question should be in this forum or in relationship

Anyway, just out of curiosity, what can frequent eskimo kissing and forehead kissing in a relationship tell about the...

I'm currently on an LD break. It's a bit confusing now because I'm not 100% sure my boyfriend (or ex) got the message that I wanted to break up so that neither side wouldn't have to hang on the false...

Had some bad 'first' dates, but none qualifies as worst, so I think I'll share my worst dating experience which was not during the date itself.

Met this good-looking guy at a party at my boss's...

Totally agree.

I agree with Talaniman that you need to focus on your self-improvement than try to get her back right now. But to disagree with Talaniman, I don't think you should just drop it and...

I agree. But my post was about AFTER being healed. I see no harm in ending NC once I realise I'm totally over the pain and the false hope. That can take years of course (or maybe until the grave in...

EXACTLY!!

I notice that the discussions on this thread seem to revolve around the issue of 'getting back together'. I'm not totally clear with your question 'why would they come back?' I mean...

Yes, she does have a serious boundary issue, and being immature as to not know that she shouldn't talk about your private stuff to just anyone.

But I don't think that makes her a stalker though (I...

The education is FREE in Sweden, so what you'll be needing is a grant for your living expenses.

A friend of mine got this kind of grant from the Swedish government (1000 Euro/month). You can also...

Have to agree with BMI here. A couple years ago guy I was dating dumped me. He said he was afraid of getting serious because of the whole issue with his ex who cheated on him. He said he was broken...

I understand your anger (I'm about to graduate my Master's and of course on the stressful hunt). But I have to agree with excon.

Anyway, this attitude NEVER EVER HELPS. I have it too, being...

Go to
1. Your university/faculty consultants, if your university doesn't offer scholarship (but there should be), ask for a possibility of loans from university. I'm sure they won't let you get away...

Where is this coming from? Did you forget your reading glasses or your heart?

Talaniman, I agree to some extent. But I don't think Judy's thinking ahead is distracting or dangerous. She said there're a few other men in the picture but this one is the most intimate, so it's...

Narrow-minded? Handicap-hater??

A 15 year-old girl should be focusing on her studies. A lot of girls that age cannot handle dating very well. Their grades tend to go downhill when they start...

Choux, this is your expertise isn't it, making a stupid judgment out of 2 unrelated events?
The OP's concern over lack of sex + the fact that she's having a baby on the way
DOES NOT MEAN SHE'S...

I don't know you or him, but basing only on your post, YOU are the childish one, not your boyfriend.

I agree with Artlady that you seem to be pretty insecure. Being clingy and overly jealous will...

PirandelloLuigi, no offence, but you've come across as being shallow, seriously, you got turned off by her height? If it really was a big deal for you, you shouldn't have gotten into a relationship...

Oh, also count my vote for 'if' ;-)
