Case 774
I am twenty-six years old. I was in a relationship with a woman that began three years ago and ended five months ago.

I have been married for twelve years and have one son. My husband and I were happy up until he met one of our neighbors. He now spends all his time with her and pays no attention to me.

When I was alone, I would hurt myself physically, masochist style, and that would calm me down. My compulsion to hurt myself has helped me to relieve day-to-day stress [...]
Case 769
For a year I gave my love to a man. There is a ten-year difference in our ages. I took him to my house, and everyone knew that I was in love with him, but he never asked me to be his girlfriend.
