Everytime I meet a wonderful person, I always come up with some excuse, why it wouldnt work out. I fear of getting hurt. My mother died at a young age, and I grew up with my father a business man, who moved me around a lot, I had 4 different mothers. Who have verbally and emotionally abused me. I am not acustomed to kisses or token of affection. I love and lost many close friends because of my unstable lifestyle. I have since been diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. I sometimes feel empty inside. This year I have dated 3 wonderful men, but for each one I somehow find a way to ruin it and push them away…I would love to break this barrier and have my own family one day.

I am coming from a family where my grandfather had 9 kids. I used to live with 5 of these families until last year when my dad came after me with a knife. That’s when I realized ( on top of the depression and anxiety that I was already feeling and feelings of a loser ) that it’s time to get out.
So i drove out 2,000 miles away. But recently I had to visit them because my dad was ill and without much time I realized it was the worst decision I could make.
The thing is that I have 10-12 cousins there who still live around my family. Trust me they are not good news. I mean , they are all nice people on the outside, But you can feel the tension. First off they don’t like me leaving and coming back without telling anyone. They expected me to be a loser all my life I think. Not that I was , but it’s just that they wanted me to be because I was the smartest of all while growing up.
The problem I am dealing with right now is that I have a girl in my life now. I love her to death. I want to marry her and have kids with her. I never felt like that with anyone before. Well. I did , But that didn’t turn out well.
But she understands me well, knows where I am coming from and all that. She supports me unconditionally. Send me an apple pie. 
. You can see why I want to make her mine.
But the problem is she knows my family and I don’t know how to approach her with the way I feel about my cousins and family.I really just want to register marry her and then later when I have enough money do all the traditional ceremonies. But I am afraid if I can do that….I don’t know where the fear is coming from..
I am completely different from my family..in that , I never had the animosity they had towards me , back at them in anyway, Which is why they were able to mess with my head for this long. But Now that I know what I want , I don’t care what they do . I am gonna show them what’s up..
Now about this girl, why do I feel weak when it comes to telling her that I don’t want my family involved in our marriage or anything we have. Is that possible? Am I afraid of something? What am I afraid of ? Please tell me?

My husband is being very supportive, but my family and friends who I have told are being critical of my doctors choice to give me medication (which I think is going to help). I have not been able to control my moods and the other effects of bipolar and I am glad I am finally going to have help. Despite how I have tried to explain my reasons for getting medical help, they do not seem supportive. They try to tell me that I am fine, but I have never felt “fine.” After years of being told it is only anxiety or depression, (I am normally happy, not sad) I have finally found a doctor that has done a very thorough examination of how I feel mentally and physically and I trust his medical opinion. How do I get them to stop criticizing my decision?

I’m DID, that’s Dissociative Identity Dissorder and it essentially means that I hear voices. It’s something I’ve come to terms with and am ready to share about. The only problem is that the society I live in is very conservative and will listen to media hype before real people. Add to it that my parents hardly trust me to drive across the street and it puts me in a very bad situation. I want to be honest about myself and make people understand, but I’m worried that it’ll only end up with people not believing me or trying to lock me away.

I’m only 23 but I’ve had enough life experiences to not trust anyone outside family. I had been through a traumatic event and went to see a therapist about it….She inquired as to why I don’t confide in a good friend…She said it would be therapeutic to talk with a friend about it….Ummm so that friend could then go and tell other people??? Isn’ t it just human nature to gossip…especially about big things….My friends tell me all the inside info of their other friends…..like how they have ****** implants, how they got a DUI etc.
Am I paranoid or just realistic? I mean, I think I am realizing the true nature of people early in my life. You can’t trust them…only ur family.

I found out about an year ago that my grandmother has Alzheimers . She has been getting worse and to the point where it is affecting her health and family relationships.
I have been patient with her disease, but lately it has been getting out of hand. I used to go along with the things she would say/imagine so that i wouldn’t confuse her, but i can’t do that anymore.
I can’t go along with this anymore for MANY safety reasons. These are Only some of the reasons/problems:
She claims that she already drank her medicine when it is clear that she has not, and she has to drink A LOT of it to function well
She also claims that I take her money when she really has no money left!
I tried to go along with it once, letting her beleive that I did take her money, but she ended up not trusting me for a good while!
It breaks my heart that the only things she remembers out of her whole day is that I took her money or that i’m tricking her into drinking more medicine.
What do I do?

First off I am a diagnosed bi-polar and schizophrenic. I have been living with my family for about a year after I was hospitalized for my mental issues. For a while I haven’t been taking my medicine (antipsychotics and antidepressents) because I felt better but then things got really bad again and last night I was swearing at and threatening violence it was like I had no control over myself I am just so ashamed now. My sister was so scared that she took her son into her room and brought a knife with her. I don’t think I can ever truly think of me the same. Sometimes I have suicidal thoughts because my relationship to my family is broken now. I won’t hurt myself but I am saying how upset I am at myself.

These days whenever I have a problem, and I talk to my family for advice, they always seem to make me feel worse. I lost something important one day, and all my mother could tell me was that it didnt matter that much. I almost lost something important another day, all my brother could tell me was that it wasnt that bad. I spoke to my mum about a problem i had just now, and she made me feel considerably worse. Sometimes I get upset to the point where i have ******* on the mind. I often proceed with caution when posting a question, because I might get unhelpful answers like, “oh well, kill yourself, we all have problems, people die every day”. Is it normal that i’m not getting good vibes from my family these days? who should I see instead? what should I do?
