Question 1

i need help. i think i have an obsessive love disorder, love addiction or relationship addiction?

Accepted Answer

Unhealthy relations: If you find that you engage in relationships that are unhealthy - that is a problem.  If that is the case, suggest that you arrange for a psychological evaluation with a doctoral level clinical psychologist. After assessment, an appropriate treatment plan can be developed.

Question 2

is detachment in interpersonal relationships a sign of a permanent mental illness?

Accepted Answer

NO : It is a personal decision on your part like changing your mind. It is not mental illness.

Question 3

i am 58 years old, there is no sexual relationship with my wife, i like to practice masturbation, but previously i had obsessive-compulsive disorder. diseases were when masturbating, the heart rate increased, so i felt fear. treatment for that?

Accepted Answer

: Masturbation and sex with your wife would cause the same increase in heart rate. From your question I infer that you need to see a psychiatrist. Good luck

Question 4

relationship ocd? i obsess over negative thoughts about my relationship when i know they're not true. they go away the moment i see my bf.

Accepted Answer

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.

Question 5

is there a relationship between bradycardia and hypertension? i had a concussion 8 months ago,could this be a sign of intercranial pressure?

Accepted Answer

Concussion: The hypertension and bradycardia are unrelated to the concussion. Any raised intracranial pressure due to a concussion would have been at the time of the brain injury and would have peaked at 3-5 days. See your medical doctor for evaluation.

Question 6

i been stressing dealing w/ a horrible relationship & i have no signs of a period. i blinked my eyes & then i got dizzy real quick, i haven't had sex?

Accepted Answer

Dizziness: Your description sounds like it may be due to anxiety or stress.  See your doctor to be sure though.

Question 7

i have had a red and tender penis for over a year now. started while in a relationship with an ex-girlfriend. before going out with my current wife a month after my break up, i had a full sti panel (except for herpes). my gp examined me and found no signs

Accepted Answer

For sure no STD: Since you have been professionally examined and no abnormality was found, I have to believe that nothing is wrong -- i.e. that your impression that your penis is "red and tender" is mistaken. Maybe it's primarily psychological. But if you are convinced there is definitely redness and tenderness, get a second opinion from a dermagolotist. In any case, no STD causes such symptoms. Good luck!

Question 8

is sex good for a relationship?

Accepted Answer

Important for most: Although many people do this regularly, sex is not a requirement for life but a very important part of a healthy relationship. Unfortunately for some, either due to illness/age/religion, or life circumstances prevent such pleasure for many many years. So, if you don't feel up to it, then you shouldn't...You are only  20, the real opportunities will come...Good luck.

Question 9

do relationships change over time?

Accepted Answer

Yes: We change over time, it's only normal for relationship to change as we change.  The level of intimacy might change, if you have children, children will change the relationship as well. There are many facets of the relationships, while some might seem static, some will change.

Question 10

having difficulties relationship wise?

Accepted Answer

Relationship: Difficulties in relating and communicating can often be traced back to differences in family of origin.  Please consider speaking w/an objective third person such as a couples therapist or prudent spiritual leader.  Peace and good health.
