What kind of disorder is this behavior linked to?
A member of the household continually buys a food item and says it is theirs and nobody can eat it, but lets it sit in the refrigerator until it rots. This same person buys all sorts of special treats and puts it in a cupboard calling it her do not touch stash, but hardly eats anything out of it. The person also sees that you bought something and must go out soon to buy one better than yours.
Klonopin & divorce? (radical behavior, really)?
I'm curious if anyone here has experience with personality changes that come along with starting to take Klonopin. After 15 years, my wife and I are going through a divorce. Happens to a lot of people, for certain, but we are a little unique. Until very, very recently, we were very happy. We have 2 young daughters, a new house, good jobs and we mesh together very well. Out of nowhere, she asked me for a divorce a week ago. She didn't really have an answer as to why, she just thinks we're too different. I didn't see it coming. In fact, no one saw this coming. Ok, that's rough, but not so uncommon. People get divorced. It happens.About 6 months ago, my wife started taken Klonopin for anxiety. It definitely affected her personality. She became a little more bold, had a little more spark in her step. It was a nice change overall. There was a slight aggressive side to her that started up as well. She's more argumentative at work and in public not with me . In keeping with that natural tendency to try to figure out why this is happening, I thought I might reach out to this community to see if anyone here has had an experience that might be similar to the one I am seeing. Perhaps Klonopin has nothing to do with this, but it warrants consideration if nothing else. Thanks for your imput.

Confusing impulsive behavior...?
I've been feeling very impulsive lately. I think about drinking all the time. If I'm not drinking, I'm thinking about when I'm going to drink next I'm 21 so I'm young, not an alcoholic ha ha . Also, I've been having a problem going into stores because I see a sale and HAVE to buy things, even if I don't need it. I used to hate shopping.Another big thing I've noticed is that I'm like ocd about things now. I used to be a messy person but now I'm like a clean freak, especially at work. Sometimes I can't even get my work done because I need to make sure everything is clean and organized I'm talking like even lining up my pens pencils . So, any reason why I would be acting this way now...any ideas? Thanks Caryn I've struggled with anxiety for years. I'm actually on zoloft for it. I was not aware that anxiety could cause ocd symptoms though? Hmm...thanks for the advice
Can you explain this weird behavior of my girlfriend?
A little backdrop My gf in the past has informed me that she is battling with depression and has mild memory loss. So, we got into a huge fight recently and apparently it took the life out of her.She was very emotional crying, feeling weak, etc. After the fight, we made up but still she was very weak. Now for the weird part. At one point she was pretty normal with the exception of being weak and then she turned into a zombie. She could only say a few phrases such as 'it's ok' and 'I'm weak.' There were also several points where I don't think she was breathing.I was very concerned but I was not sure of what I could do. I tried to get her out of bed but she couldn't stand on her two feet. I asked her if she remembered me and she replied 'your a bad mean guy' and started crying again. She then proceeded to the bathroom, urinated, and then sat on the floor in the dark with her head down. I pick her up and put her in a chair in the living room and she immediately recovers. I tell her the whole story of what happened but she does not remember any of it. Now, I'm not sure if this was an act to just scare me or this is a serious problem. If anyone has any insight to this situation and what I should do if it happens again, I would love to hear it.By the way, we are both in our early 20s.
Does this behavior sound insane?
Latley, my mental state of mind seems to be really unbalanced and feeling manic. I have a big problem with insomnia and falling staying asleep. Evrey time I fall asleep I have horrific, vivid, and gruesome nightmares and other times I have dreams that seem to make no sense, but I feel like their sending a message. Sleep in very uncomfortable and unrelaxing for me, and I always seem to feel tense and paranoid, thinking if I close my eyes, something bad will happen, or something bad will be waiting when I wake up.I'm always so tired, low energy, and strung out from not getting any sleep, I consume alot of caffiene to keep me going through the day. Latley caffiene, nicotine, and weed has been the only way I feel normal or clear thinking. I'm going through alot of emotional mood swings and personallity changes, going from moderatly happy, to extremely depressed, to severely enraged & phsycho like impulses, confused, dazed, memory loss, panicing, stressed, to euphoria, and then sometimes I just black out, and find myself doing something else, and have no idea how I got their.I've also been hearing stuff and having random like hallusenations. Sometimes I get this paranoia that evreyone is out to get me and the world is gone to sh t. I'm never in the mood to socialize with people or sometimes relate to what their saying or feeling at all.It's like I have no middle grounds, I'm either dull and totally zero emotion or overly emotional mood swingy. I'm either really, really euphoric and happy, excited or I'm either really, really angry, adrenaline fueld, and feel homicidal suicidal at the same time.I wanna be a filmmaker, which encourages me to be creative and try to keep an open mind of things I love & understand in this world, but I feel like I don't know how to shut this creative button off in my brain. It seems like evreyday, I start to fade out of reality and the understanding of people and my surroundings. Could I be going insane?
Is obesity more genetic or a result of learned behavior, or some of each?
I've heard obesity can run in families. Is this because the kids inherit a " fat" gene from a parent, or is it just because that family has bad eating habits which is passed along to the children. Recently I saw a woman in the grocery store checkout line with a little girl I assume was her daughter. In that woman's shopping cart were cupcakes, cookies, hamburger, white bread, pasta, several boxes of sugary type cold cereals and soda non diet . No fruit, vegetables, fish or poultry. That little girl is seeing her " mom" buying mostly high carb foods and fatty meat.

Why do people think cutting is attention seeking behavior?
because i've been cutting myself for three years.I've tried to hide it and I don't tell my family or friendsOnly my best friends..and If they find out i usually try to make excuses.I always wear alot of bracelets or long sleeves. the only reason people know is because scars. But i always seem so happy. I'm not looking for sympathy. i just have problems..like I" m diagnosed bipolar and my mother won't let me use the medicine prescribed for me. and i don't know how to handel this..so i cut myself. I've tried to kill myself. but i keep it secret. why do people think all cutters look for attention?
Is There a Relationship Between an Extremely Low Body Weight and Worsening of OCD Behaviors?
I'm 19 years old and have both anorexia and OCD. I was diagnosed with OCD at age 6, and with anorexia at age 13. Last summer, I reached a weight that was still very slim, but healthy for my body type, and it seemed as if my OCD behaviors thoughts improved a lot. I have since relapsed and am back down to a low weight, and my OCD has been spinning out of control.So I guess my question is, could it be that my low body weight is causing my OCD symptoms to be worse? If I were to reach a healthier body weight, will my OCD likely improve? I was just wondering if there was some chemical explanation or something like that.Thank you so much
