662972 tn?1270166301 Hello I have very important question please help me out. I have a good friend and I known her about yr now and only been to her house one time and here's why one she has an awful mean husband that don;t like her to have ppl over but thats not bad part.
Avatar f tn t deprive them, if they want to go to breakfast than go to breakfast. And if they need help offer to help them (of course not while your pregnant). And make sure you sit your husband down and talk to him so he is on the same page or he at least respects your decision.
Avatar f tn Was watching one of those sort of horridly-fascinating shows last night on TV that is about hoarders, except this one is about pet hoarders. They visited a couple's house who had 24 cats. The vet who was talking to the couple and she went into the room where the catboxes were, and commented on the smell, and she had handheld meter that she set down on the floor. It measured ammonia in the air.
Avatar m tn I have obsessive compulsive disorder. I asked something about my situation but didnt get clear answer so I asked someone else so I got a warning . I want to be understood. So please do not report me. Today my firend touched his penis and urinate and I think he had urine on his hand. And with that hand he gave me cigarette. he was holding the cigarette with his hand urine contamined the cigarette head where I put inside my mouth. now I am psycohologically in a veryy veryy bad mood.
Avatar n tn I'm very glad to hear you are ready to stop. You definitely need help. What are your options for getting into therapy? Think about what people and facilities are around and if your family could self-pay, use insurance, or need free/low fee treatment. If you have been in therapy before think about what sort of therapist and approach seems to work best for you. Let me know and we can plan the next best move.
Avatar n tn And so far neither of my other 2 kids have had any of the symptoms she has had. HELP; HELP; HELP. Thank you.
Avatar n tn I am a compulsive liar. I dont know if there are different stages of lying but if there is I am near the top. I lie about my friends family, health and even my past. I had my 2 year boyfriend thinking I was a totally different person. I feel bad when I do it but at the same time I often do not even realize I am doing it until after its done. He knows I lie and I am trying to tell him the truth now but I still lie about things.
Avatar m tn Since I like women taller than myself, compulsive and intrusive imaginary thoughts about tall women or height comparison between me and women taller than myself plagues my mind all the time and makes me watch videos about tall women on the internet and masturbate at least four times a week. I feel compulsive to masturbate because of those intrusive and compulsive thoughts. I really need help because it wastes too much of my time and energy.
Avatar m tn In general there are not that many treatments other than medications that help with mania - but one that can be useful is mindfulness practice (which you have to begin before you develop mania) which can enhance your brain's ability to be self aware. Good luck!
Avatar n tn On the contrary, I would like to have compulsive masturbators as friends. I even want to help them out. If anyone wants to talk, I am here.
Avatar f tn I think a psychiatrist or psychologist would be a good place to go...you can start with your GP, but ultimately I think it's a case of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and the psychiatrist or psychologist would be best adept at treating you.
Avatar n tn I did not want to sound back stabbing but more inquisitive and loving to help him. I also indicated, I needed to get some help as I never know what to expect next. She could not believe he would behave this way, as it was out of character. Actually, she is right. We have been married for 34 years and this never happened. My instincts are telling me, there is some deep seated resentment that is surfacing with sobriety as mentioned in the above posts.

Avatar m tn perhaps you should share more about your experience. i see this is your first post. how strong is the compulsion to stare at a strangers genitalia? what do you find so interesting about it outside of the usual? how long do you actually stare at it and is it causing disturbances in your daily life? have you tried to get help from a psychiatrist? please be specific. there's those people kind enough to help with your genitalia fixation...
Avatar m tn Well, I'm starting a new thread for compulsive staring. I'll start with my symptoms. Around junior year of high school, I started to stare at private parts of both men and female. I'm sure this has to everything with OCD. I don't feel any pleasure from doing it...it is sort of now automatic. It has ruined so many relationships...I don't have any friends because of it. I've been to a psychiatrist which prescribed Lexapro, Zoloft, Risperidone...none have helped.
578610 tn?1342228871 Im pretty sure im a compulsive liar. I lie mostly out of habit, and i realise i do it after and think why the hell did i do that? I lie about everything, nothing i say really is truthful. This is just ruining my life. I'm at the point in my life where im in a type of purgatory. The lies havnt ruined any of my relationships yet but im sure it's a ticking bomb. Im waiting for people to hate me when they realise i've been lying to them about everything.
Avatar f tn There is a medical condition that can make kids such compulsive eaters that they even will go into the fridge and eat an entire jar of mayonnaise. I was thinking that the desperation your child is displaying sounds more like he is compulsive about eating and not just throwing a tantrum because he wants more tater tots. That is why I recommended a doctor.
Avatar f tn The other part of this is that this might be something psychological -- most compulsive behavior is. You might be doing this to hide from something else, or because your life is unfulfilling. If that's the case talking to a psychologist might help you see what's missing.
Avatar n tn t do long time with my wife that really effect our relationship.
Avatar n tn Having compulsive sex dreams - married for 20 years - great sex life with husband - compulsively thinking about sex with random guys - may have just seen in store or talked to. Very violent and abusive situations - with me being the victim. Any ideas on how to stop!!
Avatar m tn You have a medical condition, just like diabetes or arthritis. If you had those conditions, you would seek help. You need to seek help for this as well. Please make an appointment with your family doctor first. If he/she thinks you need to see a specialist, they will they you. Please do this for yourself. Keep us posted.
Avatar f tn I know exactly how you feel. The only rooms that aren't messy at my place are the bathrooms & the babys room lol! I work full time & when i get home I'm like why bother?.. Hopefully i get a day or two cleaning spurt & get it done!
Avatar f tn About 75 percent of persons who recover from alcohol dependence do so without seeking any kind of help, including specialty alcohol (rehab) programs and AA. Only 13 percent of people with alcohol dependence ever receive specialty alcohol treatment." Anyways, I have to go fetch my son from kindy but I'll post a list of alternatives if you enjoy the whole "group" thing but discover NA's attitude toward your methadone use (prescribed I assume?
