Why...why are you gay?
Why are you a gayman?
Why did you make that choice?
Hello! Happy to see this thread! How was your day?
>>677859689
I'm not gay, I'm not a man, and homosexuality isn't a choice.
Good work.
>>677859511
can you prescribe anything online ?
>>677859748
Work was like war, but both sides were mentally retarded and had only heard of war via video games.
>>677859860
I can't prescribe anything period, I'm a psychologist, not a psychiatrist.
>>677859511
why do i often imagine being injured by knives/sharp objects
>>677859673
I see your frog, and I raise you several salamanders
Why do I feel anxiety over every task, like school work, bank errands etc
>>677859961
Depends. Do you WANT to harm yourself, or do you merely have intrusive thoughts about it?
>>677859995
Because you have generalized anxiety disorder. Seek medical attention.
>>677859878
I am sorry to hear that you had to battle wits with those who are on the lower end of the IQ levels. Here is a kitten giving a low five to make your day better
Did you learn anything today?
I believe i have borderline-personality disorder
what do?
>>677860193
Yes. Take three soups, not two when it's chicken noodle soup day.
>>677860246
See a doctor to get an actual diagnosis; self diagnosis is worthless.
>>677860086
I'm not quite sure. It ranges from having limbs cut off to just being stabbed in the stomach/tortured with knives. Just the thought. it doesn't disgust me, it seems like I'm 100% okay with the thoughts.
Do you tend to diagnose people randomly I.e. Your family. Does it give you a sense of power being able to look into mind
>>677860328
Advice to live by! Included in this post is one of my favourite .gifs.
I am sure I have posted it before, but I lose everytime.
>>677860350
Then I would say it is merely intrusive thoughts; nothing to worry about. See a doctor if you start to get the impulse to actually DO such things.
See, your brain has entire circuits dedicated to running simulations on possible events, to make you able to deal with them. You probably are just experiencing that not being suppressed properly. Not really a big deal unless it moves to self harm.
>>677860481
I think you confuse psychology with magic.
>>677859511
YOU ARE NOT A REAL PSYCHOLOGIST ASSHOLE.
>>677860610
Alright, thanks
>>677860672
Prove it. You've made a claim, now actually prove it. Kind of sick of being told I'm not at this point, so either show actual proof I'm not or git out.

I'm trying to figure out why some friends of mine keep avoiding me. I get along with most people, but I think I made a mistake with this group and was overly preachy. I probably didn't listen enough to them too. I think they are pretty cool, but they tend to exclude me from their group chats and activities alot and that makes me sad. Everyone I ask tells me I should stop trying to be friends with these people but I don't like quitting or giving up. I think Maybe my ego is in the way. I sometimes think I go back for humble pie, since it's hard to find people who dislike me as much as this group does and I like to maintain perspective. What I'd really like is to get along with these people. I've known them for years and we have years of baggage to let go of, and maybe they don't want to let go of why they dislike me. Even if I'm ready to move on and not participate in those behaviors, I want to respect their choice to still hold me accountable for what I've done. I just get frustrated because things years in the past keep getting in the way of having a happy peaceful future. If you'd provide some insight into my situation I'd appreciate it.
>>677859511
>h-here
like i would talk to some jewish quack with a s-speech impediment. fuck off back to your oven.
>>677860610
I keked but no seriously I took psychology for A-level and you can start to read people's behavior, reactions and it gives you a sense of their thoughts/feelings etc. Do you not just observe those around you and make assumptions on how they act
>>677860913
How were you preachy?
>>677860672
Settle down, sport. You're gonna hurt yourself. Remember the ruru's: CAPS LOCK IS CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL. EVEN WITH CRUISE CONTROL, YOU STILL HAVE TO STEER.
>>677861006
I'm asian, try again.
>>677861008
I try very hard to keep my life separate from that unless people ask or are in mortal danger. It tends to cause less problems.
OP, I had posted a question in your thread this morning but there was a lot of nonsense posted so I think you may have accidentally overlooked it.
>>677861008
I watched, "Hollywood Medium", last night on tv, and that's exactly how he knew Jessica's grandmothers name was Sarah Jane and wanted her to just be happy and stay married to Steve. It was heart warming.
>>677861183
Ah I see thank you
>>677861111
Lookit these fuckin' quads. Beautiful
>>677861352
Feel free to ask again; morning threads can get very heated.
>>677861380
No problem.
>>677860796
Fine ill tell you about my issue although I think your presence is a way to make a person feel like they should have a problem. I am horny like all the time my gf doesn't know, like if I don't get sex I jerk it at least 5 times whats wrong with me? I thought having a kawaii gf would make me happy but i'm still horny.... befor you say dump the gf I love her very much and would never cheat on her.
>>677860796
Different anon but you're the one that made the original claim so burden of proof is on you. We all know you're not a real psychologist though, role playing faggot.
>>677861183
Oh ching chong bing bong ping pong, Mr. Ding Dong, me so s-sorry. You speak ah good engrish. Me ask you ah many question now.
>>677861059
I tell people how to be happier and be better. I give unsolicited advice. I was bossy and entitled, kinda arrogant. I didn't understand that I can't control what others do and I have no right to tell others how to behave or pass judgement on them for how they chose to live. I wasn't religious or anything but getting telling people off for being dishonest and stuff is an example
>>677861494
Yeah I saw that. A lot of people posting nonsense and such. Anyways, how often do you masturbate?
>>677861559
That's it.. Let the butthurt flow through you..yes..good..

>>677861742
Go back to your faggot hugbox chat Alice, nobody likes you
>>677861503
Wait, back up. Did you just insult me, claim I was lying, then ask for help? Are you serious?
Fine. I'll be the better japanese picture poster and ignore your rudeness. TALK TO YOUR GIRLFRIEND. Tell her you are unsatisfied or have high libido. Without communication your relationship will not get better.
It may be as simple as her using her hands or mouth or a fleshlight, or even providing you hot pictures during the day, or teasing you before you masturbate, etc etc. But ANYTHING is better than just keeping it to yourself and boiling over it.
If you love her, truly love her, expose yourself to her and let her in. Maybe she'll reject you, but that's the risk you take with a relationship. Don't be afraid of it.
Let her know how you feel.
>>677859511
I've been vaping for 14 days now and I'm worried about popcorn lung. Supposedly 88% of vapers show symptoms of popcorn lung after 14 days of continuous use. I fear I'm addicted at this point and I don't know how to quit, or if it's worth popcorn lung. Could this be rooted in my childhood?
ok, im game. lets see if you actually know your shit or if you are just full of it. name the disorder characterized by an inability to write legibly or spell but does not produce any other disturbances in functioning. also witch disorder is characterized by a chronic bad mood underlined by neurosis and mild depression.
>>677861563
I'm female. But ask away.
>>677861585
Sounds like you should stop that and uhh...understand that your advice is probably worthless.
>>>677861742
You posted to the wrong person. Try again.
>>677861961
Could you please cite a study that confirms that statistic?
>>677862022
this is definitely popcorn lung. how long have you been vaping?
Is it normal to lose all care for everything, even yourself. Sometimes my life just feels like I'm watching a movie, one that's shitty and never seems to end. And I'm a supposed to feel empathetic towards others? Never had that fefe before, some friends find it creepy.
>>677862022
Agraphia and Dysthymia?
It's hard to tell what you are actually getting at; this could be any number of disorders.
>>677862197
That's disassociation; seek medical attention.
>>677862068
>Could you please cite a study that confirms that statistic?
>hold my yellow hand
and you call yourself a ching chong doctor?! outrageous ah.
>>677862068
I.... stopped that. My advice is pointless, unwelcome and therefore.... worthless. What do I do from there?
>>677862311
Yeah, you are right. I should have encyclopedic knowledge of a question related to physical medicine, not my actual specialty.
>>677861878
I'm glad you can be the bigger person, if it makes you feel better I never doubted you just tested your authenticity. senpai arigato
>>677859511
How do I deal with heartbreak and the realization that I will never have a girl love me?
>>677862391
Just start vaping, like your father.
Why do I enjoy being alone. I travel around forests and sleep outside too. I don't like talking with people or being near them.
>>677862398
No need to be sarcastic. I'm not sorry I have high expectations of you.
>>677862391
You apologize and try to make amends.
>>677862445
It's my pleasure.
>>677862446
You first start by not saying such stupid and obviously wrong things. It's not impossible for a girl to love you, you know.
>>677862462
Because you are an introvert. Seemed like you could have googled that one.
>>677862545
I'm glad you expect so much of me, but again, physical medicine is not my specialty. I am not an MD.
>>677862068
Nah, obvious samefags are only allowed one reply per thread!
>>677862635
Not being an MD didn't stop you from asserting vaping doesn't cause popcorn lung though, did it?
I like going on /b/ late at night and I can't stop.

I want to reunite with my dad family again aka his mom g ma my other sister etc my problem is I hate my dad for what he put me and my mom and my g parents when I was a kid through I was 18 when I could finally stop seeing him. I was so happy but sad I miss my dad side of the family.Should I try to connect with them again even though they want me to get along with my dad which I refuse.
Hey Doc, I had recently broke up with my first gf. I'm not really into relationships but ever since she left I discovered how to masturbate. Im 19 years old and have been fapping non-stop everyday for 6 months with no lube. How do I stop my constant hornyness.
>>677862260
close enough. though, technical the dsm calls Agraphia/disgraphia a "learning disorder of written expression". you seam legit to me.
this leads me to two other questions.
A. do you think psychology is a glorified pseudoscience
B. why in the fucknuts are you browsing a web sight that frequently features images and videos of extreme violence and pornography?
>>677862767
I didn't assert it; I asked for the study that confirms it.
>>677862769
Click the X at the top right corner of your screen.
>>677862893
Yes. You should try to reconnect with them.
>>677862953
You...don't. Welcome to life.
>>677862260
I think it's more than that, I've lost the urge to eat or sleep. And is the lack of empathy okay?
>>677862767
>Not being an MD didn't stop you from asserting vaping doesn't cause popcorn lung
niggawhut
where is that said
>>677862635
Apologizing I have done, but they are just words, and these people don't have any expectation of change from me. Like I said, It's been years. I don't know how making amends would manifest. What would I do? They won't even let me be around silently them for any length of time.
>>677862991
I just can't click it, I have to keep lurking.
it's a never ending cycle, once I lurk, I can't stop
>>677862987
A. No, because we do scientific studies and are part of STEM.
B. Because this is my home.
As for the DSM, which version? My copy of the DSM-5 is not in my hands at the moment, but I don't remember seeing that.
I could easily be wrong though; the DSM is not easy text to memorize.
>>677862994
No, it isn't. Why do you think I told you to seek medical attention?
>>677863122
Sounds like you must have REALLY done something bad. Have you asked them how you can make it up to them?
>>677863173
Click it.

What causes everyone to spend hours scrolling through threads of the same stuff and yelling at strangers on the internet day after day?
>>677863330
Basic need for social gratification.
Everyone wants to belong.
what is consciousness? do you believe we are playing the joker in the games? what are the games? do you think our consciousness is connected and that we are all, in fact, masks of a higher being? or God?
>>677862769
post something like this?

Sounds like you need to lurk moar
>>677859511
ok here goes, i use to not take shit from anyone when i was a teen i used to return insults, beat the shit out of someone bugging me, used to be very strong mentally and now i just stay silent, ignore if someone insults me, avoid conflicts etc. Why is this happening and why did i basically become a bitch now that i'm older?
>>677863446
Consciousness is just the brains operating system; it's a high level overseer that directs low level processes.
There is no god, and no, consciousness isn't connected. Sorry.
>>677863600
Nice dubs, and you grew up. That's what happened.
>>677863600
You didn't. You were an asshole when you were younger, and you grew up.
There is nothing strong in beating the shit out of people or insulting them; it shows you aren't strong enough to shrug it off.
>>677859511
I have already taken steps to get help professionally, but there is a bit of a wait. Are there significant concerns with using an antihistamine with sedative effects to calm my shit if I become manic in the meantime as a stop-gap?
So I have recently encountered a chance to become wealthy. Instead I'm sinking my time with this board and videogames. I have tried to change myself to become more, but each time I do I go back to being lazy and unmotivated. Is it possible that I'm afraid of success? Or even just afraid in general? I remember I got recognized for doing a fantastic job in the company I was working for. The job is easy, I don't find it hard, what do you think I should do?
>>677863801
What is your current diagnosis?
>>677862991
>i imply things and then forget about doing it
What's that mental illness called?
>>677863420
Does that also explain all the get attempts to throw a cat off a roof, all the gore, all the name calling when someone exposes something that hits everyone in a soft spot?
>>677859511
Why do I have re-occurring nightmares that consist of the bad habits I make in life, i.e smoking cigarettes, distancing myself from people, hate towards a few family member. I also dreams about going mad? I've done LSD before and as you may already know it could make a person schizophrenic if they are already predisposed to it. Has LSD fucked me up? And do you agree with Freuds Interpretation of dreams & how dreams consist of symbolism or is that all bullshit?
>>677863014
Scroll up you dumb nigger.
>>677862991
Even if he abandon me and my mom as a kid and tried to make me go against my mom which he was full of it and put me through mental and physical abuse.I know his mom wants to see us get along but I don't think I can let go of the past and try to reconnect with the family

Not recently have I asked how to make amends. They just don't seem to want to forgive me. I'm not even sure what I did that was so terrible that they would ostracize me for years. I want to try asking how to make amends but I'm really afraid they will shut me out again. I'm not entitled to their forgiveness, they don't have to forgive me... I don't know if I'm wrong for wanting or hoping to be forgiving, I don't know what I did wrong, aside from being "generally awful" I've tried listening closely to all criticisms of my behavior and to crack down on all displays of inappropriate behavior. I can and will control myself, but I can't control them... they will feel however they want about me. I just wish I could make it better or find closure.

>>677863880
You are probably afraid of responsibility, not success.
>>677863907
You need to look up what an implication is; asking for evidence is not an implication either way.
>>677863912
Yes.
We REALLY want to belong.

Yeah, sounds like the LSD had some side effects. Don't do it again.

How bad is sleep deprivation for your brain doc?
>>677863254
bull to the shit, psychology may be informed by science, but its roots and techniques lie in things that are simply not empirically testable. ehem... all of psychoanalysis... ehem. personally, i think of it more as an art.
i wouldn't worry too much about the 5, it sucks donkey nuts. most docs still fall back on the good ol' 4-iv-tr. all hail the old school axes system!
also, what exactly do you mean by "home"?
>>677863606
I see, so consciousness oversees what we do voluntarily yeah? so the rest of the brain monitors involuntary actions and the rest?
>>677864102
You're right, how do I get over this fear?
>>677859511
Sometimes I speak with the voices in my head. They are mean.

Holy shit, the same thing happens me. I thought I was alone.
>>677859511
How do I stop thinking about her?
>>677863961
Yes. Even then.
>>677864012
No. No it isn't.
>>677864073
So ask again.
>>677864083
Yes, antihistimines may be effective as a stop gap. Call your doctor and ask as well to confirm.
>>677864117
VERY bad. It can kill you.
>>677864184
You need to look into behavioralism and FMRI studies dude. Sounds like you are 20 years out of date.
>>677864239
In a broad way, yes.
>>677864261
By taking on small amounts of responsibility, and proving you can do it. Then move up to larger and larger ones.
>>677864275

I go with what works, so I'm not really part of any school. I go with anything scientific, but usually behaviourism and cognition, with a dash of neurology.
>>677864449
what do you mean by change how you perceive the situation?

It isn't; CBT is not psychoanalysis, and has much higher success rates.

What effect does the subconscious have on the personality or the self to be more specific?
>>677865136
Because you are disassociating the real world, but you can still fall into your imagination. Seek medical attention; that could be anhedonia.
>>677865141
No and no.
>>677865198
We don't know. Not really. The studies are very hard to conduct.
I'm gay, but het porn arouses me. Does this make me bi?
>>677865136
Not OP but so far I've been studying psychology at a university for 4 years and it seems that you aren't as emotionally close to family as you think you are. Whilst on the other hand, you tend to form an emotional bond with the characters you see on TV. You identify with them, and thus it has an effect on your emotions when something happens to them.
>>677865345
Generally, sexuality is not viewed as a series of points, but as a continuum. So you could be 75% gay, and 25% straight, or what we call "gay leaning bi".
>>677864449

I am not capable of any empathy or emotions towards people in general. When its something hurting me I get mad over it, but when something wrong happens to someone else I just do not give a damn in a slightest, just pretend to do, cause thats how people react. What is that?
Also it is a reason my gf and all my friends turned away from me, claiming i feel nothing. I still do not bother tho. Am i a psychopath or whatever?

Actually, schizophrenia seems to be related to addiction and parkinsons, of all things. Autism is comorbid, but that may be due an unrelated third factor.
Correlation doesn't imply causality, after all.
>>677866257
Both, and it depends on the illness; the evidence suggests that it must be determined on a case by case basis.

I'm glad you got the help you need Anonymous, though I am sad you didn't get 5 6's.
How does it feel to not be a real doctor?
>>677866762
I sleep about 3-4 hours a day, mostly because i keep myself from sleeping (not always by caffeine tho).
>>677864701
Not attention-whoring, therefore, no tits need be posted. Can't you just accept that some people just want to help others, regardless of their gender?
>>677866881
Pretty good, really. I didn't want to go through residency. I have no debt, a great job, and I get to help people on /b/.
Was a good move on my part.
>>677866967
That will eventually kill you. Stop doing it.
>>677859511
Why my social skills are shit level?
Why I can't talk to anyone without getting so nervous I can barely talk and only at a low volume?
>>677866630
Mrs psychologist, I find myself attracted to you just because you offered me valuable advice and you are a girl. What could be causing this problem? How can I resolve it?
>>677861791
I had no idea what he was talking about until you said that. Then everything came back to me.
>>677867037
How much time do i have left? How can i tell how bad it is? Im feeling fine, just a little sad everyday.
>>677867056
Because you have social anxiety. Please seek medical help.
>>677867061
Probably by looking at my left hand.
>>677867228
It won't kill you right away. It'll just take years and years from your life eventually, and make your final years miserable.
Stop doing it.
>>677867392
>Probably by looking at my left hand.
Please post your left hand with a timestamp so I can try out this treatment.

why are you such a little bitch, doctor?
>>677867662
Well i see no reason why it would help the patient though.
>>677867779

Either b8 or autism.
And not /b/'s definition of autism.
>>677867392
Isn't there some other way to help this? I don't really feel like it's important enough to seek medical help, people just thinks I'm shy and quiet
>>677866630
sure, http://personcentered.com/specificity.htm it should be under the section titled "Pattern of Psychotherapy Outcome Research" "categorize 5".
sorry for not including a formalized reference, but this is /b/ not a research paper. you are free to verify the statistic further if you wish.
now, do you want to address my previous points, or shall we continue to compare the size of our academic cocks?
Why does everyone think they're entitled to having someone care about their psychological issues
>>677867890
How can I go about becoming a programmer, what credentials would I need? It sounds very interesting.
>>677868299
No one does, really, but if help is offered, help is going to be accepted.
Alright alright. So up to yesterday, I was a kissless virgin. Now I'm just a virgin. I spent the first 19 years of my life overweight as fuck; got up to 300lbs at 6'3". Now that i'm in shape and better looking, I can actually talk to females with confidence. With that being said, how do I not look so inexperienced? And how big of a deal is 'experience' at 20 years old?
>>677868109
You are obviously retarded.
>>677868138
It's important enough to seek medical attention. A psychologist is telling you so; what more do you want?
Get the help you need Anonymous. Please.
>>677868207
That isn't a citation.
>>677868299
Let me quote you from the Zenger trial, which basically defined America before America even declared independence, and is the model for the free world everywhere:
"It is natural, it is a privilege, I will go farther, it is a right, which all free men claim, that they are entitled to complain when they are hurt."
>>677868328
You don't need any; programming is easy. Just go learn scheme or C++ and start making a game or something. That's how I learned when I was 10.
>>677868530
It's no big deal at all, and no one cares. You are out of high school; start acting like it.
>>677868207
Is there a correlation between people who end up on /b/ and shock sites?
>>677868663
If programming were so easy, would it pay 250k/year?
>>677868663
being 'out of high school' is exactly the problem. Experience was supposed to be made in high school. I feel like i'm just now learning the things that everyone else did when they were still in school.
>>677868933
Yes. It clearly does.
>>677868934
No it isn't; you say that but that doesn't make it so.
Have any of matters of clinical concern of your own?
>>677869049
Show us your credentials. I'm not buying the psychologist act.
>>677869073
I am suicidally depressed due to major clinical depression.
im taking zoloft, and i've developed a weird twitch that i can't control. is that normal or dangerous?
>>677868663
You've got a point there. Does this mean that I can't keep living like this or that I shouldn't?(Sheer curiosity, already know I have to get help)
And, if you are willing to, would you tell me-well, us, because this is /b/- your first name? Your personality seems interesting, and I'd like to be able to relate your character to a name.
What's your whole take on the 'dominant' male scheme for females? Is that generally more attractive if a man protrudes himself as a dominant individual, or does the majority of women want a 'nicer' and more 'caring' man? Also, what do you think classifies as a dominant male? Would it just be his sexual endeavors and enactments or would it be more so of the way he talks/acts out side of the bed room?
Is it bad to ask ppl on omegle to buy the half of the hooker I didn't eat?

Why the fuck am I obsessed with incest? not even attracted to anyone in my fam
>>677869198
Have you considered taking your own advice and seeking medical attention?
>>677868207
>>677868663
Not that anon, but Jesus are you going to address that anon's question or are you too academically incompetent to approach a question that deals with the "science" you've been studying for many years.
>>677859511
I have fantasies of kidnapping a woman and keeping her in my basement as my fucktoy, though I'd keep her warm, fed, and modestly comfortable. I'd methodically brainwash her into believing that her sole existence on this earth is to accommodate my sperm in her womb. Am I fucked up?
>>677869520
I'm not OP, but I think I have insight. I've since gotten over my incest fetish, but back in the day I was really in to taboo kinks. I was very inexperienced with sex, and very prolific with the internet. For me, it was basically the whole 'taboo' part of it. I'm guessing you're probably inexperienced sexually?
>>677869298
That's....relatively normal. Talk to your doctor; sometimes SSRI's can have muscle effects, but generally that is call for a step down in dosage.
Have you stepped up the dosage recently?
>>677869357
My name is Alice. You can't keep living like that; you'll hurt yourself, Anonymous. And I wouldn't want to see that!
>>677869368
None of those things actually hold up to scientific scrutiny; different people want different things.
>>677869450
That may simply be induced thoughts, but if you have them during other times of the day, please seek medical attention.
>>677869486
I'm a girl, and I do this every day. I feel no satisfaction from doing it.
>>677869520
Because you consider it forbidden. It's pretty typical for such fetishes; anal, for example, is not particularly better than vaginal sex for men, but is fetishized because it is seen as forbidden.
>>677869577
I have, but thank you for the concern.
>>677869636
I don't address assertions; I address evidence.

also, this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnzYG0ZkrXg
>>677869781
>Yes, mostly because you think that would actually work. It wouldn't.
Challenge accepted.
>>677869781
Psychology goes beyond 'scientific scrutiny.' There's theories and ideologies that people form for every category; and I'm sure any real psychologist would have his or her's opinions.
>>677869967
Sociopath isn't a diagnosis, it's a criminal identifier. Do you mean ASPD?
How about you tell me your symptoms, and I'll attempt to help you figure out what is going on?
>>677870028
Well, let me buy the study and read it first. Hold on a sec.
>>677870118
I stick to the science.
Why cant i find a purpouse to live

>>677869922
Well then that's it. You could form a permanent sexual fetish for incest if it goes on to long. Try to get yourself out there more, or embrace the fact that your future baby mama is going to have to do some roleplaying as your sister or mother to get you off.
>>677870467
Fetishes are generally permanent anyway.
>>677870433
Elaborate. Tell me more. Let's work through this together, you and I, Anonymous.
>>677870219
Ah, so you're not a 'real' psychologist. You're not actually credentialed to help people, only to create diagrams based off of behavior. Nice to know that nothing you've said thus far is actually usable to anyone here.
>>677870621
I cant see a point to live, i dont have many friends, mother father dead and I am a total fucking loser
>>677869781
That's a nice name, it feels fitting, for some reason.
I'll seek help, don't worry.
Nonetheless, I wonder, what makes you worry about people that can be at the other side of the world, with whom you may never encounter? No offense intended, just curious
>>677870219
Not OP, but if I had to guess it's because you don't give yourself any reasons. You're demotivated in life, probably based off of some kind of trauma recently. The only way to fix yourself is to truly demand happiness. Force it to happen, and force yourself to do something YOU want to do.
>>677870684
You need to learn what words mean.
>>677870815
If I don't, who will?
>>677870802
Go on. Tell me more. How are you a loser? What else have you lost?
I'm here for you, Anonymous.
>>677870219
let the quibbling begin :-)
>>677859511
Why do I have fantasies of bigger dicked men having sex with my ex-girlfriends, and them being super slutty? Not a troll I promise, i'm genuinely curious
>>677870219
Yes ASPD. I always catch myself lying about anything I say, over exaggerating any of my experiences. I've noticed my "tone" is very different from those around me. Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone the main thing on my mind is how can they benefit me. I never feel any sort of remorse. And I've always felt that everyone around me is significantly dumber than me, but I would never say that out of fear of someone not helping me out in the longrun
>>677870939
Well it began when I got kicked out of high school and from there things just went downhill. After my mother died I started to drink heavily and havent gotten a stable job since
>>677871069
I genuinely don't know. I'm not a sexual psychologist. Apologies, Anonymous.
>>677871087
Sounds like ASPD alright. As for why you have the symptoms, because you have the diagnosis.
I'm sorry, I truly am Anonymous. Try CBT with a licensed professional, you may be able to reduce the symptoms some.
>>677871268
Have you gotten your GED yet?
>>677870802
I'm taking a shot in the dark here when I say that the reason you're depressed is because you're sexually inexperienced. You long for a person to care about you, to share moments with, and to give you emotional support. Go find it, playa'. Stop discouraging yourself, women aren't all that bad. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
I have Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have to twist my doorknobs and push on the closet door three times before going to bed. I have stopped before but it makes me feel like garbage. Can't really afford treatment. If I stop will it eventually get better or will it likely manifest itself into a neurological disorder like Tourette's? Is there a good method of self treatment?
>>677871318
No I havent
FUCK I don't have 5 cents
>>677871332
No I had a gf for a year
>>677871389
In general, you need medical treatment to get through this. Where do you live? I will look for a free clinic near you.
>>677871416
Why haven't you?
>>677859511
Alright OP, here goes.
My only experience of emotions has been either using them as a tool to get what I want, exploiting people who feel them too much, or the very brief, annoying ones I've experienced myself. I don't dislike them, I just seem to not get them as much as others. This often leads to behaving oddly in social situations and doing things others are appalled by, not realizing or caring about the effect they have.
I have a constant urge to hurt. Trying to explain it honestly, it's not a cliche urge to kill. Just an urge to hurt people. mostly physically, but mentally too. I am always suppressing this, and at a younger age, I used self-harm to help control it. These days (20y/o), I only tend to resort to self-harm in the most extreme circumstances. Now, before you point out the contradiction here, that leads me to my next point.
I can't find a reason to control these feelings, apart from the obvious of it interfering with daily life if I get locked up. I am constantly struggling to find a reason to keep myself under control.
Now throw in the fact that about 70-80% of the time I am depressed, and suicidal thoughts come up at least once a day. I spend 95% of my time playing vidya, reading, or watching animu for escapism.
Your thoughts?
>>677871541
To fucking lazy
>>677871318
Don't be sorry man, I've actually always wanted a proper diagnosis to boast about in certain situations. I've always found the "mentally Ill" type to be more respectable than an average person
Do you do this because you actually care about people, or is it because you feel the need to be in control OP? Your behavior in this thread shows that the reason you are 'helping' these people is because you're getting off on the fact that some of them are praising you for it. You'll tell anybody in this thread what they want to hear in order for them to believe it.
Come talk to a real psych, /b/.
>>677871541
Central Ohio. That's all I can comfortably say.
>>677870939
So you're taking as a responsibility people's problems because nobody else will help them? That's... quite a noble motivation, I believe. I truly respect you, and thanks for your help, Alice.
>>677871558
It's me.
>>677871087
This too, didn't read the thread before posting. Well written anon.
I have absolutely no choice in something about to happen to me
should I go all in against it, or run from it for a little while?
>>677871512
Was that your only GF? How long ago did the relationship end? There's really no point in lying on an anonymous image board; it'll make you feel like shit if you need to create a false life to feel comfortable.
>>677871558
You have ASPD and GAAD. Please ask your doctor about CBT and DBT; these therapies can drastically increase your standard of living.
I'm sorry, I'm so so sorry Anonymous...I wish I could help you, I really do. It must be terrible, but you need to seek help and try to get out of the pit you are in.
There is help; it can reduce the symptoms. Please, if not for me, then for yourself. Seek help.
>>677871693
I'm sorry because it's such a terrible piece of damage to your life. I wish I could help more.
>>677871698
If you've seen this thread, you should see how little control I have in it.
>>677871790
Let me do a quick lookup.
>>677871798
It's not noble to do what everyone should already do.
>>677871948
What choice is it?
http://personality-testing.info/tests/LSRP.php
i scored higher on this test than 94% of the people who took it. what do you think OP
>>677871955
It was about 2 years ago, it ended when I started to heavily drink
>>677859511
How much can psychological disorders manifest themselves into physical symptoms?
I took a research chemical and i think it might have given me brain damage. I'm still able to do most things that require complex thought, but now have social anxiety and thousands of floaters in my vision at any given time.
I also have tons of health problems like constant headaches and just random stabbing pains all over my body.
I'm wondering how much of this could be psychosomatic.
>>677872045
But the little control you do have is has it's own relatively large impact on these people's lives. That's a pretty big power trip, OP.
>>677872046
You might have ASPD; please seek medical attention. It is a life long illness that cannot be cured, but it can be treated via CBT and DBT, and it can reduce the symptoms.
You owe it to yourself to seek help Anonymous; please do so. I hope you can find some degree of comfort in it.
>>677872145
What RC did you take? I am a neuropsychopharmacologist; lay it on me.
I'll do what I can, even if it means stepping outside the law for you.
>>677872124
Was that your only girlfriend? Like I said, I'm only taking a shot in the dark here. If I'm right, maybe I can help you. If I'm wrong, then it's no big deal.
>>677872308
2ci-nbome, or 25i.
>>677872436
Kinda, had a few dates but those didint go well
>>677872298
But I have none. All I do is try to give the knowledge I have to those who need it.
If that is wrong, if that makes me a terrible person in your eyes, then so be it. I didn't come here expecting people to like me.
>>677872532
Oh jesus! Why didn't you just stick to 2C-B, which is known to be safe?!
25I-NBOMe has been implicated in many deaths and has unknown toxicology! It sounds as though you are having some extreme side effects; when did you last take it?
I have a hard time feeling empathy for others, I've always been able to deal with my problems rather easily and can't understand why others have such a hard time, should I worry, or should I be ok with telling people I don't care about their problems?, or more their difficulty dealing with them.
>>677872045
But it is noble if no one really does it. It is if most people don't really care. It normally is discouraging to see that kind of thing, but you have overcome it. Sorry if this seems rather forced or something, just trying to be honest. I'm out for today, thanks, again.
>>677859511
I'm infatuated with a girl I haven't seen in so long, but she is in turn in love with my friend who does not feel the same. wat do
>>677872585
Alright buddy, listen. Your depression is getting in the way of relationships, and you're depressed because you can't find a girl. It's like a never ending loop; or an infinite .gif. Basically the only way to get out of your slump is to fight for it. Put on a fake smile for a while. Get yourself laid, try to find a hobby. The hobby I chose was working out, and it's helped beyond my limits. Everyone has their own forte though. Maybe try learning about cars, or computers. Do something to occupy your mind so you don't have to drink or think about sad shit. Don't be the dumb ass who takes words of advice for granted; actually try something instead of sitting around and moping. You'll feel a lot better in a week, I bet my life on it.
>>677872820
Around 2 years ago. Felt like my brain was freakin melting while I was on it. Afterwards felt kinda weird, but enough to be dismissed. Then about a week later I went to drink with friends and after 2 shots I blacked out and started bawling and had some sort of psychotic episode which ended in me being tied up on the floor. Was relatively normal before this. Apparently 25i is the only known full agonist of the 5ht2a receptor, do you know what that implies? Because i'm not quite sure
OP is obviously not a real psychologist. Psychologists don't give "advice" or tell you what to do. Also, they don't even SUGGEST a diagnosis you might have over the internet.
2/10 try harder next time buddy
>>677859511
>>677870219
do me a solid OP. keep right on doing things exactly as you are. you are exactly the kind of thing i like to see in the profession. so utterly convinced of your own knowledge and education that you have lost sight of whatever it was that made you want to become a psychologist in the first place. i have made a small fortune working with the people folks like you screw up. I'm out.
>>677873041
Let her go.
>>677872823
You should not be okay with telling people you don't care or that they are not difficult; just because you were capable of getting over them does not mean others are or that they should be.
It's very hard to understand what people suffer through Anonymous; what may be a paper cut to you is an amputation to them. For example, I have severe burns and it is difficult for me to even hit a brief jog without overheating. But you can probably sprint very easily.
Is it wrong that I cannot jog? Is it right that you can sprint? Or are we merely different?
>>677873236
It implies that you flooded the receptor of your brain implicated in ALL hallucinogens. No wonder you are having severe side effects.
I would seek medical attention immedietely.
>>677873277
You seem to think all psychologists are the same. They aren't.
>>677859511
Thinking about becoming a psychologist myself too. Getting my general ed done right now. How was school for you?
>>677873277
Maybe they're trying to be the next Dr. Drew or Dr. Phil.
>>677873125
Yeah, you're kinda wrong. Right now I realy dont care about getting laid, but finding a stable job. But the problem is I am a high school dropout. Should I get a job in the army?
>>677872045
I dont have a choice no matter what path in life I choose some guys is going to publicly embarrass me for something I did as a teenager. He has a video. Should I go after it, or quit my life so far and do something else to face this problem later in life?
>>677859511
If seeing you or similar, at what point to I get thrown on the no-gun list?
>>677872308
why the fuck do i "need" to seek help if it doesn't affect me?

>>677871558

i had this fantasy where my gf fuck me with a strapon. I have never wandered about sex with other man but i just wanted to be penetrated by her. That really turned me on, I told her about this fantasy, we got the strapon and tried it. Eventhough it was exciting, i discovered that i wasn't my thing. it is cool to be dominated in bed, but I like the dominant role way more. the question is.. I really had big expectations about this experience but I got dissappointed due to it wasn't as cool as i though it would be.. why do i have this feeling of "nothing is going to turn me on as much as the strapon fantasy used to be"? That was my kinky-est fantasy, i did it, not that cool, now what?
>>677873411
I'm limited on funds, meaning i'm actually completely broke. I just got health insurance, which is a plus. What i'm wondering is, what doctor should I try to see first if I was trying to save trips to doctors which are pointless? I'm experiencing all sorts of symptoms, but I believe that the 25i might have been the root cause. What kind of specialist am I looking for?
You seem like a pretty cool guy OP.
So youre a psychologist and a programmer. What are you programming? I started out with 10 aswell and I'm earning around half as much as you with flash-games currently...

That doesn't make sense. How do you know he's doing it then?
>>677873983
It kinda sounds like you shouldn't have guns anyway...
>>677859511
i legit think i have add and really need ritalin (for legitimate non-recreational reasons), how do i completely convince a psychiatrist that i have add because if i dont get a subscription im fucked
>>677873848
Then do it. Stay motivated, schedule an appointment with a recruiter right now (if they're closed, then set an alarm and do it when you wake up.)
>>677859511
what is exactly 'anxiety'?
>>677859511
How do I get over my tiny (3.5") penis? I want to be confident but I just fucking can't and I feel inferior to every other male because I can't perform the basic function of pleasuring a female with my ween.
>>677859511
Is it your or you're?
>>677874084
Gunanon here, why would you say that?
>>677873552
I know in Virginia this is only a problem if you're civilly committed, or have an NGRI.
>>677874084
i know he is. i cant say what it is because theyre following me and youll probably hear about it one day. I just know in my brain im going to lose either way. Its nice to tell someone for once. its just so hard for me to decide my path, it makes me part-suicidal tho i wouldnt do it. this person is an evil person to do this to me.
>>677874139
Thanks for your help. Today OP wasnt a faggot
>>677874128
If you want it legally, just tell him or her your symptoms and let them diagnose you. Don't try to convince them; that's drug seeking behavior, which is guaranteed to NOT get it.
>>677874175
It's arousal that provokes overly critical thinking.
>>677874268
Cuz you just insulted an entire state of people?
>>677874354
Sounds like you have paranoid delusions...seek medical attention. I hope you get the help you need, Anonymous.
>>677874392
I do my best.
>>677874392
I'm not even OP.
>>677874495
I'm OP! But wait, then who was phone?
>>677874495
Well thank you anyway
>>677874477
Taking someones and confused gratitude knowing that it isn't deserving towards you just shows how really controlling you are. I also get the feeling that you suffer from a low self esteem.
Wait, guy who took 25I-NBOMe. Did you experience anything similar to a stroke? 25I-NBOMe is known to cause strokes.
>>677874665
see
>>677874551
>>677874477
i mean, tell me some things i could say to increase my chances of convincing him that i have add.
idk how strict you are with ethics and shit but i really really need it. not even to get high off or whatever i just really need it and, seeing as youre a psychiatrist you probably know what sort of symptoms he would be looking for
>>677873411
We are different, and we all have strengths and weaknesses, and it makes me sad I haven't had much adversity to overcome, it makes me feel weaker knowing I've had it easier.
>>677874773
I'm a PSYCHOLOGIST. And again, just tell him your symptoms. Say you can't focus and that it is impacting your life.Just tell the truth man, stop trying to fool a licensed professional who is trying to help you!
>>677874926
Yeah, take it from me. What doesn't kill you doesn't always make you stronger. Sometimes it just kills you slower.
>>677874477
gunanon again, either you don't live here, not aware of how it works here, or do live here and are a Prog and like how things are going. Small, dense cities pull all of the clout and screw the rest of the state. Districts are a mess and representation is not close to fair. It is so bad that there are several movements currently to break the state up, namely Jefferson. The state has been insulting the people for a long time now, not the other way around.
>>677874084
I'm sorry, what is a PCP? I've never actually seen a doctor. My mom is an herbal doctor and doesn't believe in it. And you're incredibly kind OP... I don't think I could ever ask someone to do that. That you're taking the time out of your day to give people these answers is just an awesome thing to do. If there's anything else you could find out about 25i as a neuropsychopharmacologist, I think it could probably save my life. I've contemplated suicide quite a few times, not out of any actual desire to end my life but because of the pain i've experienced being so unbearable. I can't hold down jobs or relationships because of this. The worst part about it is not knowing what's wrong. I just wonder if this is something that can get better, and if I can remember what being normal feels like at this point
>>677875087
Let me clear that up, the cities are large, but they are small dense areas compared to the whole.
Hi OP, I have an obsession with a word, with a name actually, Dr. Peabody. It is floating in my brain all the time, and I call myself like that sometimes, alone. What is it? I also use it with other word, like Peabothougts or Peabopossibilities. WHAT IS IT?
>>677859511
marry me
>>677859511
I used to have really fucked up intrusive sexual and violent thoughts, would never act on them but I hated them they just pop on my head and would not go away. Like sometimes I'd look at anyone and just imagining them dying in the most gruesome ways, sometime i imagined myself killing them and I hated it, I basically never get them anymore, and I happy about it, but I researched and everything pointed to Pure ocd, does that sound about right to you?
>>677875291
A PCP is your Primary Care Physician; your ordinary doctor. You need to go to a real one. Sorry if that is insulting to your mother, but you cannot treat a stroke with herbs, no matter how strong.
Please email me at [email protected]; I have done tons of research into RC's before, and I have a lot of information on the RC you took.
Please contact me, and we can move towards making this right. Also, don't take RC's without a proven track record, and go to a doctor sooner next time!
You can get better, but this is uncharted territory; luckily, you stumbled into a pain patient psychonaut. Let's get through this together.
>>677875071
Thank you op, you've given me a different perspective.
>>677875725
It sounds more like obtrusive thoughts than OCD. Ask your doctor.
Alright guys, I need to go to sleep.
I'll see you all again tomorrow at 8AM, and again at 7PM.
I just wanted to say, this was one of the very best threads I've had in the last few weeks, and I am grateful I met every one of you; I hope we can make more progress tomorrow as well.
With love,
Alice
