| With the other issues making you overload, I can imagine what some roommate activities might be that would overload a person. Noises, social events at your place, cooking smells, borrowing items of yours, etc. At least those are things for me. The worst would be people having people over. I plan to... |

| It is not illogical to you and that is what is important. Do you know why showering is hard out of order? I guess you most likely don't since you don't know about why the laundry affects you that way. Other than just general panic, can you identify any other feelings especially right before the pan... |

| i've had a lot of one-night stands... it was part of my "self destruction" thing until recently... seemingly I am fairly good at going to a bar and then waking up with a hang over in some strangers house. Don't do it anymore though, it does leave you feeling fairly sort of empty and stuff. I think m... |

| I have PTSD, though it is far far better now. I had a lot of therapy though to get to where it is now, and was on medication for a long time to reduce the flashbacks and nightmares. I think a combination of support, time and therapy may be the only way to actually "recover" from PTSD, but I have hea... |

I have dated NTs before, but it's never worked out... also dated people with other MH issues but that's rarely worked out either. In part as I find I tr... |

| I used to be a pole-dancer... If it wasn't for the whole men staring at me and yelling stuff thing I would have liked the job lol. It was good pay and I enjoyed that actual dancing part of it, not to mention that it was an amazing work out. Never been in one from the other (the client) side though |
