    Extreme need for attention

    Am I alone in this? I feel like I can never get enough attention. Especially sexual attention :o I've cheated in the past, and my wonderful husband forgave me, and we are working really hard on our marriage. It's better than it has ever been, but I am terrified that the first time someone gives...

    New and looking for advice from other Christians

    Madison is right on the money here. Have you looked into DBT? Do a quick Google search for DBT+BPD and hopefully you can find a workbook that can guide you through this unique form of therapy. It's really the only form of therapy that has been shown to be useful with BPD patients. I can't...

    Just saying HI. I dont know if this can help me

    Please don't diagnose yourself with BPD. It's a complicated disorder, and it usually takes a team of professionals to actually diagnose. The fact that you say you "usually have no trouble dealing with the crap BPD gives" suggests to me that it may not be BPD, it may be something else. Please...

    Bragging

    Please do not attempt amateur, online diagnoses. Whatever the issue was with your former virtual friend, really is none of your concern at this point :) I don't say this to be mean, but to release you from your urge to self diagnose. I spent an incredible amount of time trying to put a mental...

    panic about sexuality / how far can fiancees go?

    Oh my. At this point, I'm so sorry to say, but you two are not compatible at all. I don't say that because I am judging her, but because as Christians we must not marry unbelievers. I know you say that she is a Christian now, but she has so much to learn, and it may take a while for her to learn...

    I think I may struggle with HOCD. Thoughts?

    ALL teenagers question their sexuality at one point or another. My husband spent six months during his 16th year terrified that he was going to end up being gay, despite only being attracted to women (and it sounds like you guys are like he was). He was so scared of what would happen if he WAS...

    Am I bisexual? Please read my story...

    I don't think you're bisexual at all :) You are coming into your sexuality, exploring different ideas in your mind, and getting to know yourself. This is VERY common, in both young women and men. It causes a lot of teenagers a lot of stress. Most teenagers question their orientation at one point...

    Distraction Ideas for Masturbation/Sexual Fantasy

    DNP, actually, many therapists recommend the elastic band on the wrist trick. It's just a distracting sensation, not self injury :)

    Wife doesn't like sex [moved from married couples]

    Nvxia,.... wow. To the OP, first, know that it is NOT you. It's not your fault, and there is nothing wrong with you. Does your wife have a history of sexual abuse? I ask because she sounds a lot like me a year ago. I wanted it over ASAP so that there was no time to trigger my fears or bring...

    Is a wife refusing a husband sex a form of abuse?

    Ok, I have to pipe in. I have been married to a wonderful man for over eight years. For seven of those, I withheld sex. Not out of spite or anger, but out of fear, because I was abused as a child, and I never learned to trust him. He never said a word about it, and I thought he was okay with...

    Is it a bad idea to marry a woman who is not a virgin?

    Luther said it. You cannot judge a person based on their past actions alone. In my church, we have a couple who has been married for almost 25 years. Before they got married, she was a prostitute, and he was a virgin. By the time they met she had become a born again Christian, and to this day...

    Thoughts regarding [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]/cunninglus

    Thank you for posting this. Before we got married we both read "The First Years of Forever" by Ed Wheat. It was written a billion years lol, so of course didn't mention oral sex at all. And I haven't managed to find a truly modern book on this issue from a conservative Christian viewpoint (if...

    inappropriate content and Wives

    When we talk about inappropriate content addiction, why is that we only ever talk about HUSBANDS who have the problem? Why does no one ever talk about WIVES who have a inappropriate content addiction?? Where can wives who have a inappropriate content addiction go for help?

    Go forth and multiply?

    Well, I'm not childfree, but I'd like to chime in,..... God trusts our judgement, and gives us the wisdom needed to make decisions like these. He would never want a woman (or man) who does not have any desire for children to bring children into the world grudgingly. Besides, when this...

    Pastor Suicide

    He killed himself rather than be exposed for the pervert he was. In this case, I don't think it had much to do with his calling. Except of course, that he may of gotten into the priesthood in order to have easy access to young girls. He was probably a man of very little or no faith to begin with.

    What is all this rubbish about God having a wife?

    Yeah, the Mormons believe this. In the beginning, the Mormons say, God and his wife got together and created all of the souls that will ever exist in the world. Mormon couples are responsible for having as many babies as they can pack in in order to give all of those souls bodies (think the...

    Punished for being Bipolar

    Thesunisout: yes, God does heal. He heals through medicine. He heals through scientific advancement. When was the last time you heard of God healing diabetes? Why would it be any different for mental illness? It's not demons, and it has been scientifically PROVED that mental illness is the...
