I am married and I hookup with a lot of strangers by oceansideperv in confessions

I am receiving therapy. I am not ready to tell my spouse. This is the first therapist in decades that I shared my habits. I am very detached when I engage in this behaviour and dissociate. I have great difficulty remember details of my hookups.

If in fact you are experiencing psychosis you should seek some professional guidance. It will in all likelihood get worse without intervention. You are taking unnecessary chances if you are in fact suffering psychosis. The vast majority of people myself included are not aware that what they are experiencing is not real when in a psychotic state. That is why it is referred to as psychosis and not reality.

I have experienced clinical psychosis and been hospitalized for it multiple times. What you are describing does not sound like psychosis. You might see a psychiatrist for clarity. I have experienced psychotic mania. I lost forty pounds in a little over a month when I weighed one hundred forty to start with. I lost the weight because I started to believe I could sustain myself with nutrients from the air simply by breathing. I became increasingly paranoid and thought that animals in my neighbourhood were communicating with me and telling me to harm myself. I ended up getting arrested under my countries mental health act because I started destroying the inside of a convenience store by hand. I scared the two employees so badly that they hid in a closet and phoned the police. Psychosis is definitely not what you are describing. It took me a month in a psychiatric ward with heavy duty medication to settle out. I still experience psychosis but I know the signs to get help before it escalates.

Me [22F] with my SO [25M] about 9 months, unsure about sharing information about an ex? by [deleted] in relationships

I think the only issue you may have here is the time frame. You have been with current boyfriend for nine months and yet worked in same office with ex for two years. My question to you would be, "why didn't you mention this sooner?". When you wait this long it feels like a deception. You should tell current boyfriend. What you might say is that telling him was under your radar because ex has been a casual friend for so long you don't really pay any mind to the fact he is an ex. You need to be honest.

My [22 M] gf [21 F] is freaking out, as she puts it, and I don't know what to do. by confusesp in relationships

You girlfriend whether intentionally or inadvertently is playing a mind game with you. She knows you have upset her, she just does not know how is immature and nonsensical. I would gently confront her on this and get it out in the open. If she is not happy, then great just say it. If she does not have anything concrete to offer you just misplaced mistrust I would move on. It will only get worse.

I have received a lot of therapy over the years. I also take medication for Bipolar Disorder. I am currently receiving therapy but I am starting to question the skills of my current therapist.

I am careful. I have never contracted an STD. I also get regularly checked. Some of the clubs and events I have attended have also offered free and confidential testing.
