| What kind of pain are you actually experiencing? Fibromyalgia is specifically a widespread dull ache, throughout a lot of your body, plus some scattered tender point where it doesn't really hurt until you press on it (when you press my tender points they hurt more than a broken bone, but I don't kno... |

| I want to study biomedical engineering (luckily for me there is a specific course at one of the universities in my city). My brother is studying mechanical engineering, so it's interesting that I'd be interested in engineering too. |

| I have determined that it is useful to be female, because it is more acceptable for females to cry than for males (which I can't help doing when I'm overstimulated). I also don't particularly mind the physiology because I think females have nice bodies. Could live without the periods though. That wo... |

Supposedly lucid dreamers are more likely to have these "waking dreams".
If you have problems with dissociation, this can cause you to have difficulty distinguishing between memories of dream events and memories of real events, though there are undoubtably causes I don't yet know about. |

| In Western Australia, they're not so bad (I hear it's not so good in other parts of Australia though =\). In the private mental health wards, they are all very pretty and comfortable. You get your own room and and ensuite, everything is carpeted. However, they make you constantly go to group therapy... |

| This might disappoint you but... When I have seizures, it feels like I'm in the presence of divine beings, however I am a nontheist. I see ghostly/angelic/demonic figures on a day to day basis which I know aren't real (you know those hallucinations you know automatically are just hallucinations?). A... |

| Again, they are opposites. If they were actually opposites, mixed states should be impossible. Bipolar disorder is an instability in all of affect, energy and intellect (speed of thought, creative connections, etc.).

| This will run on a little bit. Recently, my younger brother, 17, was diagnosed with HFA. I helped my Mum out with the assessment because I have a knack for keeping track of the family medical history and I am more confident around doctors than my Mum is. In my part of the world, people need 2-3 (dep... |
