*oonridge McPhalify's profile:

i've done a psychology degree but can see how a lot of the established ways are usefull but open to abuse by agents of social control (doctors/thought police).

i have been diagnosed as manic depressive but at the moment am not in any state that would be classed as serious. i appear to have things balanced by consuming omega three, b vitamins and dairy food, and have insight into irrational thought patterns because for a long time they came to dominate my thinking.

i like to see things from a logical point of view, see myself as quick to analyse and tend to back away from situations to view them objectively.

i love drugs and have for years but have more control over myself now than i ever did in the past. being bipolar i came to rely on mood controlling agents as i had great difficulty with wild mood swings. i am no longer experiencing problems with my mood and as such my drug use has calmed down (or matured).

i am single but am making an effort and hopefully something good will come along. i'm very picky though and dont want to be in a relationship for the sake of it

i am gay and while this is an issue (as it would be to anyone in a society where it is tolerated rather than accepted), i dont consider it to be a defining feature of myself. i prefer to associate with people because i find them interesting rather than because of labels.

i love agony aunt columns and friends say i give good advice (though they would wouldn't they). either way this is a hobby and a fun one at that. it also satiates my nosiness without having to impose it on people that could cause me to be known as nosy/interfering.

i am actively making an effort to find love but am wary of people. the risk has to be worth it as love tends to send me (literally) crazy.

I feel like he's become distant since I told him how I felt about him

Q.   Hi, I am a 17-year old (just today, actually) that is quite confused right now. I've been in love with a guy (straight) for 4 years now, and I'm not quite sure how to get over him, as I really want to. We'll both be graduating from high school soon, ...

A.   16 September 2010: to get over someone you have to NOT spend any time with them and then it will fade. thats my experience if you really love someone...... (read in full...)

Is there any chance of salvaging this relationship?

Q.   In May 2004 my partner of 8 years passed away from brain tumours. After a few months I met a woman who has since become my wife. I met her way too early and she was initially patient and then pushy for me to move on, and over time this bred...

A.   15 September 2010: this was never a functional relationship- you were on the rebound BUT you have a child and need to remain civil to ensure things are not affecting them. from what you describe this relationship is dead in the water...... (read in full...)

Is it possible to combine being gay with being a catholic?

Q.   I've been raised in a catholic family and have always believed in god, but lately I have become more agnostic. I'm gay and feel like a bit of an outcast in the church. I'm not out, and don't think my family will accept it. As far I know, bein...

A.   15 September 2010: at the end of the day i would think the most important thing is how close are you to your family and how flexible are their beliefs. some people are very rigid and some people are flexible. religeous or not this will be the determining factor in ... (read in full...)

Could he be the one cheating and trying to blame shift?

Q.   Hi I've been with my bf over 18 months. Its been turbulent. His highs and lows have taken a toll on me. He constantly accuses me of cheating (I never have) thinks I talk to men online (never have) calls me sneaky all the time. Looks at my cell. Qu...

A.   15 September 2010: he is cheating on you (very likely), he doesn't trust you and treats you with a lack of respect. why are you still with him? if someone was that intrustive and controlling i would leave them wether they were cheating on me or not. he sounds like a ... (read in full...)

A.   14 September 2010: you need to stop being around him if you cannot stop coming on to him. its clearly annoying him and if he was interested you would be getting a positive response which you are not. just because he isn't homophobic doesn't mean he wants to have sex... (read in full...)

Q.   Hi there Aunties/Uncles! So I am a Gay 20 year old male. And well I have never been in a relationship, better yet like the movie aptly titled---I have never been kissed. The people I tend to fall for, just never work out. So a while back I tried a ...

Q.   hi again i have a question about bondage sex the thing is my boyfriend loves to tie me up and stuff and i love it as well but sometimes i am scared that this is what he wants from me and nothing else hes loveing kind and since moveing out here as ...

A.   12 September 2010: he doesn't respect you- he wants to dominate and control you (in public all the time is the telling sign as its not just occasional role play) and you can tell this and its making you uncomfortable. the whole point of bondage is its about trust and ... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2010: move on from this- it didn't work and by letting it upset you he is having his desired effect. this boy is a grade A twat, and getting him back will likely only add fuel to some imaginary fire in his warped head. the best thing to do with nutcases... (read in full...)

A.   11 September 2010: habitual liars often dont change. i had a friend who's boyfriend used to lie about things that didn't even matter and he ended up cheating on her (twice). unecessary lieing is a big warning sign to me- it shows that being honest isn't important to ... (read in full...)

A.   10 September 2010: a message in text form is never the same as a real invite where you ask in person. be open ended and ask him if he wants to do something- leave it vague and when he asks you what you two should do ask HIM what he wants to do. this works because on ... (read in full...)

A.   6 September 2010: while therapy would be good your insightfull understanding of your problems suggests you're closer to solving them than you think. your ex is probably a major problem as he knocked your trust in men. you need to overcome how he made you feel with ... (read in full...)
