That very, very awkward moment when you accidentally stumble upon your brother's profile on an online dating site... and he list amongst his interests 'casual sex'.

It's nice to know that he's back in the game and is trying to get his life together... but I feel like I've just walked in on my parents 'doing it'.

Cripes I can relate totally! My youngest son was on-line dating unbeknownst to me, charming women that were years older into sexual hookups. I told him he needed to cease and desist before he inadvertently met up with a Jeffery Dahmer type.

OK Auntie Shan, you win! Yours is even more 'eww!' than mine. 

Let's face it: we just don't want to think of our relatives in that way, do we?

Not when we try to instill good moral values in them, but they all have to learn their own lessons because we don't know anything.

Ain't that the truth!

My partner and I broke up for the fourth and final time last night. I'm upset, but really I think it's for the best. I am unable to offer what they need in a partner at this time.

((Hugs)) girlfriend! You are being mature about it and don't need to assume any guilt or blame, we all do the best we can and sometimes it's just not enough to satisfy everyone.

Why?

Why?

becuz usually when i'm in a state of bliss like i am right now, the next day, something always sets me off and me being hyper jealous, it sets my dysphoria into hyper mode. if it wasnt for my 2 therapy sessions a week, i'd end up back in the nut house lol. for some reason, its always my jealousy to sets me off the most

Install seatbelts. I also like the thrill, but learned skills so that I'm a little more stable. Have you tried one of the behaviour therapies?

HAHAH! funny. no but i have tried anger management o.o i dont have behavior issue but i do gets explosive either when i'm irritated(this happens very rarely) or when that time of the month comes (believe it or not, for some reason, every month i get debilitating cramping, bloating and i wanna bite someone's face off just for looking at me) o.o other than that i'm ok, just something that i've never really dealt with before

Behaviour therapies aren't for behaviour issues. They teach behaviours and skills that can help with emotional problems including mood swings like that.

Why's that?

Quote from: Edge on May 06, 2014, 07:16:26 PM
Why's that?

the new DSM-5 criteria. plus i'm only moody becuz of my brain chemistry. i've been told many times that i'm not bi-polar, i just have mood swings of a girl on her period which excites me but yet again words like those sets me off so yea, but that is a good idea. i'll bring it up in my next therapy session.

Happy:  I finally get a little bit of closure

Unhappy:  It's still closure that I never wanted....
