| I am under a huge amount of stress at present, so that's a possible explanation - but the other day I was sure I was good friends with several famous people. Part of me knew this wasn't so but this belief was there. This has shaken me rather. I am having a huge breakdown so maybe this delusion was p... |

| I am an autistic woman and far from asexual. Sex, it seems to me, is, along with music, the greatest thing about being alive - not that I get much chance to be with anyone, because of all the social problems and emotional overload stuff. The idea that someone would be derided for being a virgin appa... |

| I Googled "autism and benzos" and depressingly, got a list of hits about how it "lessens the severity" of autism. Well, yes - just like being drunk or stoned would do. God, how dismal - "give them these pills to make them easier to deal with." Vile. I was googling this ... |

| I was in one of these awful, awful relationships. I no longer care so much about the precise definition of him, but the descriptions of people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder and Psychopaths (dramatic word, I know) fit it absolutely. Cycle: Idealise/Devalue/Discard. They adore you! You are wo... |

| Yes. I miss someone I had a crush on, on and off, for several years. Not while I was with the man I thought I'd marry. But when that relationship splintered (on/off/on/off hell) the crush feelings came back. Anyway I told him right after the seventh and final split that I'd fancied him but I knew it... |

I feel often like an animal fed on the wrong food - like a cat fed on dog food. But I a rationalist and have ... |

| There seems to be confusion here between having well-developed muscles and having problems with the muscles themselves. I get injured very easily by moderate amounts of exercise - I developed bursitis in my hips from only a few hours' exercise cycling a week, in spite of stretches, warm-ups and phys... |

It's very ramshackle and difficult now, plus I have a crush on someone else - that'll never come to anything, but it started when my boyfriend was away and now it won't stop and I can't ... |

| Today I went to a quiz - a group of us with mental health issues meet up once a week. There is a woman there who seems autistic to me. She knows a lot of the answers, she hardly ever speaks to anyone, she dresses in a way that looks slightly odd and unkempt - ie, intelligent, poor social skills, unu... |

I have someone in mind but it's so difficult. Maybe it's just the fantasy of it that sustains me, cushions the horrible blow... |

So how about this (based on him): Someone who puts you down, subtly or otherwise. Someone who tells you that you're stupid (or implies ... |
