| Thanks everyone. I feel a bit better getting some understanding responses. Waterfalls - I've seen several counsellors, but I don't think I've ever discussed this particular issue with them. I would like to, but counsellors rarely give me many sessions, and I have other issues I've been focusing on w... |

| Story of my life coming up: I'm not sure whether it's caused by my Asperger's, or by my upbringing (when I was a child, my family gave me the same punishment - a physical beating - for any and all 'bad behaviour', so perhaps I began to think that all 'crimes' are equally bad, since all punishments w... |

| For me it was mostly verbal abuse with some minor physical attacks. There was no serious physical harm but for me it was the humiliation of it all that hurt more than anything. It's not just you haunted by these memories. School bullying is what caused my PTSD, and no other traumatic event in my lif... |

| Firstly I'm very sorry you feel so depressed. I suffer from severe depression myself so I know what it is like. Regarding the suicide attempt I strongly advise going to a hospital. Overdosing on pills can cause permanent organ damage and cause complications that will probably make your life even wor... |

| I tried prozac for about 3 and a half weeks once, all it did was make me feel more anxious and it got to the point where I started hearing people whispering about me or thinking they were talking crap and it was pretty much like a mental breakdown. If anything it increased my anxiety and PTSD issue... |

| Firstly my apologies if there's already a thread similar to this. I didn't notice one and I felt like making this because this is a big issue for me. Alright, so about 2 years ago I was prescribed Sertraline for my severe depression. I took just 3 or 4 50mg pills before experiencing intense chest pa... |

| I was 14 the first time. It's generally easier to get laid if you're female. Most boys found me unattractive and weird but at the end of the day a hormonal teenage boy is a hormonal teenage boy lol. If they couldn't get anyone else they sometimes made advances on me, and if they were friends of mine... |

| Why don't you want to be bi in the first place? Just because of social constraints? If so understood. But just to let you know that I think the fact you or anybody is bi is "pretty cool", as the fake Miley Cyrus would say on the Miley Cyrus Show on SNL. If you don't watch it never mind, I should pr... |

| I meet half the requirements: I'm bisexual but very confused. My family, friends and everyone I know are heterosexual and they wouldn't like it if they knew I was bi. Actually, my family do know, and they don't like it at all. So I try to hide and resist it. I've only had sexual experiences with guy... |

I was 14.
It lasted about two minutes and wasn't a particularly romantic nor amazing experience.
Oh well, at least it was amusing. |

| I was diagnosed because school was ruining my life and I didn't know what was wrong with me. I was depressed and considering things like running away from home and thought about dying a lot (though I wasn't planning to kill myself). And how I got diagnosed was because I have a sibling with autism so... |
