I am writing to ask for your advice. Unlike many of the people who have written to you for advice I am not perceived to be a ¡®chav¡¯. I value politeness, when people speak I prefer good content over volume, I enjoy the arts, film, travel, good food sport and exercise in equal measure seeing no intrinsic value in any one over the other; rather I see each as an important components which together with hard work, personal dignity and conviction make up a whole and well balanced individual.

But I digress to the point of obfuscation. I_m writing to ask your advice on how to extricate myself from a situation of my own making. My problem began some month ago when early autumn turned into winter. Due to the elements I stopped cycling into work and began to take Bus to work. It was on such a bus journey that I first spied the proverbial ¡®her¡¯, a girl called Chatelle who I have quite hopelessly fallen in love with. With her lithe slender figure, her long hair scrapped back and secured from a single tie from the top of her head she is reminiscent of a pre-raphilte depiction of the Diana goddess of the hunt. I first spoke to her one day when I intervened in a dispute between her and the driver of the 87 bus over an issue of a bus fare. The firm manner with which she rebuked of with the bus driver also fitted with assertive manner of that deity.

Until that day I had assumed she worked in the health and fitness industry as she is most often attired in a track suit. It was only upon approaching her that I realised that this apparel bore no significance to her employment (she is a part time barmaid in a pub called ¡®the Red Rooster¡¯). From that first day when she told the bus driver to ¡®go and fuck himself¡¯ I knew I could not get her away from my thoughts. After meeting her one night on the way home from the pub we consummated our passion on the top deck of the 85 bus, never have I felt such passionate release.

My friends say she is not of the correct ilk for me yet I don_t care, her friends seem also to detest me especially a scrawny permanently hated ex-lover called Wayne who has at least twice threatened to ¡®knock the shit out of me¡¯! She has now moved into my flat (although I suspect she still accepts rent assistance from the local municipal council on a previous property). My friends try and avoid me when I am in her company as she has often calls them ponces to their faces. I am sure her cohorts have been using drugs and helping themselves to my personal effects when they come round to visit. But I don¡¯t care she is so sexually effervescent, I am quite addicted to her brash company.

I know in times of dilemma the heart should pass the baton of command to its more rational side-kick the brain, so I seek your advice as an expert on people from her social back ground. Should I as my brother says ¡®kick the bloody parasite out¡¯ or can love between myself and Chantelle truly grow and mature.

What do you think?

[Agony Aunt Alyssa]

Wel.... that is quite a knot u've got yourself into my son....
and my only only advice is not of the pleseant kind.

Upon reading your "letter" I'm come to a number of conclusions Firstly one of your conditions is "Bipolal Disorder.

Bipolar disorder is a condition that causes extreme shifts in mood, energy, and functioning. In most populations it affects around 1 percent of the population. Men and women are equally likely to develop this often-disabling illness. The disorder typically emerges in adolescence or early adulthood, but in some cases appears in childhood. Cycles, or episodes, of depression, mania, or "mixed" manic and depressive symptoms typically recur and may become more frequent, often disrupting work, school, family, and social life.

There is a tendency to romanticize bipolar disorder, especially in artistic circles. Many artists, musicians, and writers have experienced its mood swings, and some credit the condition with their creativity. However, many lives are ruined by this disease, and it is associated with a greatly increased risk of suicide.

Depression: Symptoms include a persistent sad mood; loss of interest or pleasure in activities that were once enjoyed; significant change in appetite or body weight; difficulty sleeping or oversleeping; physical slowing or agitation; loss of energy; feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt; difficulty thinking or concentrating; recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.
Mania: Abnormally and persistently elevated (high) mood and/or irritability accompanied by at least three of the following symptoms (four if the mood is merely irritable): overly-inflated self-esteem; decreased need for sleep; increased talkativeness; racing thoughts; distractibility; increased goal-directed activity such as shopping; physical agitation; hypersexuality; excessive involvement in risky behaviors or activities.
"Mixed" state: Symptoms of mania and depression are present at the same time. The symptom picture frequently includes agitation, trouble sleeping, significant change in appetite, psychosis, and suicidal thinking. Depressed mood accompanies manic activation. Also known as dysphoric mania (from Greek 'dysphoria', 'dys', difficulty, 'phorós', bearer, and 'mania', mania, insanity).
Especially early in the course of illness, the episodes may be separated by periods of wellness during which a person suffers few to no symptoms. When 4 or more episodes of illness occur within a 12-month period, the person is said to have bipolar disorder with rapid cycling. Bipolar disorder is often complicated by co-occurring alcohol or substance abuse.

Severe depression or mania may be accompanied by symptoms of psychosis. These symptoms include: hallucinations (hearing, seeing, or otherwise sensing the presence of stimuli that are not there) and delusions (false personal beliefs that are not subject to reason or contradictory evidence and are not explained by a person's cultural concepts). Psychotic symptoms associated with bipolar disorder typically reflect the extreme mood state at the time. Mania is associated with unwarranted optimism, and depression with unwarranted pessimism.

Secondly you have an "Obsessive compulsive Disorder"

The essential feature of this disorder is recurrent obsessional thoughts or compulsive acts. (For brevity, "obsessional" will be used subsequently in place of "obsessive-compulsive" when referring to symptoms.) Obsessional thoughts are ideas, images or impulses that enter the individual's mind again and again in a stereotyped form. They are almost invariably distressing (because they are violent or obscene, or simply because they are perceived as senseless) and the sufferer often tries, unsuccessfully, to resist them. They are, however, recognized as the individual's own thoughts, even though they are involuntary and often repugnant. Compulsive acts or rituals are stereotyped behaviours that are repeated again and again. They are not inherently enjoyable, nor do they result in the completion of inherently useful tasks. The individual often views them as preventing some objectively unlikely event, often terry involving harm to or caused by himself or herself. Usually, though not invariably, this behaviour is recognized by the individual as pointless or ineffectual and repeated attempts are made to resist it; in very long-standing cases, resistance may be minimal. Autonomic anxiety symptoms are often present, but distressing feelings of internal or psychic tension without obvious autonomic arousal are also common. There is a close relationship between obsessional symptoms, particularly obsessional thoughts, and depression. Individuals with obsessive-compulsive disorder often have depressive symptoms, and patients suffering from recurrent terry depressive disorder may develop obsessional thoughts during their episodes of depression. In either situation, increases or decreases in the severity of the depressive symptoms are generally accompanied by parallel changes in the severity of the obsessional symptoms.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is equally common in men and women, and there are often prominent anankastic features in the underlying personality. Onset is usually in childhood or early adult life. The course is variable and more likely to be chronic in the absence of significant depressive symptoms.


And last but not least you are gay i.e Homosexual
Some questions you might ask yourself are as follows..

What is the difference between Homosexual Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and actually being a homosexual? How can I tell if I am suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or if I am really a homosexual?"

Many people suffering from Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts about being a homosexual ask these very same questions. Having intrusive thoughts about being a homosexual and doubting one's own sexuality are symptoms that characterize a subtype of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, sometimes called Homosexual OCD or "H"-OCD. Here are a few guidelines you may want to consider to help you understand the difference between suffering from HOCD and actually being a homosexual.

Characteristics of HOCD:

Unwanted or intrusive thoughts about being a homosexual
Doubts of one's own sexuality
Inability to get rid of unwanted worries or intrusive thoughts about being a homosexual
Seeing a member of the same sex causes anxiety and triggers unwanted thoughts about being a homosexual
Avoidance of members of the same sex for fear of unwanted thoughts or anxiety
Thoughts or worries about giving off signals that one may be a homosexual
Repeating mundane actions for fear that these actions may have been performed in a "homosexual" way or a way that may signal homosexuality in the person (for example, a male may feel the need to get up from a chair and sit back down in it if he feels that the way he sat in the chair was "feminine," or a male may worry that the way he walks is too "feminine" or signals homosexuality)
Repeating an action may relieve anxiety, but then the person feels the need to repeat the action (or ritual) again and again to relieve anxiety
Anxiety over being a homosexual is in opposition to one's own values and desires
One feels that the thoughts are unacceptable and inappropriate
Homosexual thoughts are repulsive rather than arousing
Characteristics of Being a Homosexual (not suffering from HOCD):

Having feelings of attraction for members of the same sex (even if kept secret)
Having sexual encounters with members of the same sex
Preferring members of one's own sex for sexual/dating partners or feeling comfortable with both male and female sexual/dating partners
Homosexual thoughts are pleasant, though a person may be shameful of their sexual orientation or keep it a secret
"So, how can I tell the difference?"

Homosexual individuals may experience anxiety associated with their sexual preferences as well. However, these anxieties probably stem terry more from the social stigma that is attached to homosexuality and the additional difficulties that homosexuals may encounter in finding dating partners. Homosexuals may experience enough anxiety about making their sexual preferences known that they may keep their sexuality a secret or avoid dating altogether. However, this anxiety is different from the anxiety that a person with HOCD may experience. Individuals suffering from HOCD have an unrelenting worry that they might be homosexual and constantly remind and reassure themselves that they are a heterosexual. HOCD sufferers may have thoughts that are so unrelenting that they avoid situations where these thoughts are likely to occur, such as situations with high contact with members of the same sex (locker rooms, etc.). Individuals with HOCD often fear that they are a homosexual even though they may have dated several people of the opposite sex and feel no attraction towards members of the same sex.


A question you may ask is"what can I do about it"?




HOCD responds to the same treatments as any other type of OCD: medication and behavioral therapy. The most important part of good treatment is first finding a clinician who will properly diagnose the problem. Unfortunately, many therapists will not recognize HOCD and may suggest psychodynamic treatment, i.e. "talk" or "insight" therapy, to help the patient "come to grips" with his sexuality. This will not help a person with OCD. The HOCD sufferer needs behavior therapy, which teaches the person how to deal with and successfully diminish obsessions, and SSRI medications (such as Prozac, Luvox, and Zoloft).




Now Son, I suggest you get yourself to a doctor to give you drugs,then none of these silly problems will worry your lost soul anymore..
