If you're independant, why R U here? Posted: 6/10/2008 9:33:22 PM
Greg - the definition of "independent" is self-governance, self-determination, autonomy/self-rule....freedom..... I am not sure what your second half of the question means....being in a relationship does not equal loss of the above (a healthy one anyway). I look at dependence as the root word of "independence" and the opposite something a little different.

My son is on drugs....... Posted: 5/31/2008 5:01:43 PM
Google the T.V show "intervention" and then click on the tab "cable in the classroom". There are stories about children/youth who were "just experimenting". I hope you were able to help your child - keep in mind that his brain has not finished developing so synthetic substances can really damage his developing brain (more so than someone over the age of 25 when the brain has finished developing). http://www.aetv.com/intervention/video/index.jsp?bcpid=1452197451&bclid=1564555973&bctid=1566364011 (cable in the classroom is on the tab to the right)

When to tell someone that you're chronic. Posted: 5/30/2008 10:37:29 PM
..just as a reminder..when you post something on the forum - it eventually goes under your profile so others know what you have posted. Your question is about when to tell someone - chances may be that anyone who reads your profile may already know as your disclosure is posted on your page. In other words, you may have inadvertently told them ... I agree with the guy who says to use it as a filter - great way to weed people out.

..depends if you are talking authentic Chinese, Japanese, Sichuan, etc or the corner take out. I find the Westernized Chinese take out has a lot of MSG... (as do a lot of take out/fast food, etc).. it is a drug that makes you think it tastes good. As for the more authentic Chinese food/Japanese/Sichuan, I think that is why they have a restaurant... because they are good chefs :)...that's what they do for a living! ...sure is fun trying though

GF problems, any answers? Posted: 5/19/2008 6:37:22 PM
"The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour. " - - - She cheated on her last partner before you. Sounds to me like you deserve better. It is unfortunate that you don't believe this. Perhaps you have a little more to learn from her - too bad it might be the hard way.. (no punn intended ) Oh... just to remind you - your subject line reads; " GF problems, any answers?" FYI... she is NOT your girlfriend anymore - let her go.

Have you ever dated someone with psychotic behaviours? Posted: 5/19/2008 11:29:08 AM
actually, the stigma associated with MPD is so damaging that the name has been changed to D.I.D. Dissociative Identity Disorder. Makes more sense considering there isn't actually a different personality per se taking over - only an altered state. Usually altered for good reason/coping. You are right though Cndn Girl - they are three different diagnosis with different features... I find it odd that OP is using schizophrenia and psychotic as interchangeable diagnosis' .... I think his parents ought to stick to the doctoring ;) ...or perhaps maybe he is feeling rejected and to ease some of the pain is blaming her by labeling her crazy ...hmmmm.......

NoMexShrek ******************************************************************************* Depending on which doctor you asked she was Bipolar, Manic-Depressive, or schizophrenic. Last doc treating her before the divorce told me he is 95% sure she is a high function schizophrenic, but he made her paper diagnosis (court ordered to get diagnosed, after being baker acte'd) "Severe Manic Depression with Schizophrenic Tendencies", as he did not want her to be locked up for long term/forever if she had another public episode. It made for some scary times at home. I never knew who would be driving the bus when I came home, and sometimes you would see her face twitch and another personality take over. ******************************************************************************** scary part is, you described her behaviour as, "like another personality takes over." This does not fit with the diagnosis' the doctors gave her. Scary to think that these doctors have the power to label, medicate and "lock up" individuals.... ...you said it yourself.... depending on which doctor you asked... sad....

lol.. you actually keep track of how many women you date?? That may actually be a factor in the DSM Also, if both your parents are doctors, then it would be an assumption that you grew up very "medical model".. meaning you are a very tangible person (like myself). You have to see to believe. I think it is sort of jumping the gun a little to diagnose your dates or attach stigma to someone just because it goes against your beliefs or values. Sounds very judgmental to me... Personally, I don't believe in ghosts or paranormal entities however I wouldn't go to the extreme and label someone as being psycho or schizophrenic because they do.

How long is it comfortable to be a friend before a relationship starts? Posted: 5/17/2008 4:15:51 PM
Maybe you could open the lines of communication a little and ASK HIM! He is the only one who knows for sure Good luck! I hope it works out! He sounds like a nice guy and respects your boundaries as well.

I just lost one of my best friends to suicide.... Posted: 5/8/2008 4:37:58 AM
Someone can not be blamed for someone else's actions... period. I think the others on here are correct. He was desperate and he was wanting something that people could not provide - to take away his pain for him. He had to move through it - he chose not to... for whatever reason. I agree with your last comment Adam. Try not to be so hard on yourself and let your family know you care and cherish them. Your best friends pain is over. How old are your children?

you asked if it is the same grief stages even if someone dies by accident or by their own hand. Yes. A death (loss) is a death (loss) either way you look at it. ************************************************************* "But, right now, I'm just confused and feeling I failed somehow.....?" ************************************************************* -- for example, the above question you have asked is part of the blame stage. Your friends death is not your fault. (just to note* the stages are not static but rather more fluid. I know you know all about this however, it is difficult to see when you are in it. Remember you can move from stage one to stage 3 to sage 2 back to stage 1 again (and sometimes be in 3 stages all at the same time)..... you get the idea... ) Just a guide...remember? ... you will all get through this - hopefully you can take comfort in that.

I am sorry about your loss. I like that you explained this by saying your ex (I believe) is "coping" with this by being angry. I am not sure if this has been mentioned in the other replies, however there are several stages of grief/loss that might be helpful. If you have the time or energy, look up the Kubler-Ross model. http://www.stanthony.k12.mn.us/282/moxie/bm~doc/stages-of-loss.pdf take care.
