I haven't been on for a long time, at least a year if not more. I was doing really well, and tell her I learned my psychiatrist won't be able to see After Next month due to insurance issues. FYI I have no idea why half of everything I type is underlined. I can't seem to fix it.
Anyways, I...
It's been a year and a month since my traumatic brain injury, I am still struggling something fierce but no one will take me seriously because the PTSD. There is no doubt in my mind that I'm a completely different person as a result. How do I get a doctor to take me serious and refer me to a...
There is a book on attachment disorders that used to be mentioned a lot here and I can't remember the name. I am trying to find it for an adopted, whom to my horror no one has ever addressed with them even though they were adopted from a Ukranian orphanage Sadly their adoptive parents are the...
I posted this in another thread but the more I think about it, the more upset I am.
I am writing a letter to her telling her why I am terminating therapy. Would it be over the top to include "I am so terribly sorry that a woman crying because she lost her baby while you were in c-section post...
I skipped out the last two weeks because I don't feel like I can talk to my therapist and she said some things that hurt me so bad.
1. I told her something I haven't really talked about on here but maybe it is time. I told her about someone I looked up to as a mother figure. It was my ex's...
So, it's official. My husband has been diagnosed after he was assaulted at work and nearly lost his eyesight. Pending legal case so I can't say to much.
Things were already bad in our relationship , but I thought they were getting better. It's hard to be angry at him, buy damn he is so...
I started taking Now brand Gaba about a month ago with my psyche approval. This has been a miracle drug for me. Not only does it help with my anxiety, I am actually getting decent sleep. I swear it is helping with nightmares.
I went into my local healthfood store and was going to get the...
I am so baffled by this. My therapist doesn't know anything outside of my hatred for her.
There are things I can see my therapist helping with, but she won't help with my past. I am not going to stop trying to understand myself better, and part of that is wanting someone to help me understand...
I have always had this fear, but after last winter it has been compounded X1,000.
Over last winter I went through what is hands down the worst time of my life. I had just had one of my toughest years, too many major life changes, and just as I was getting settled things got bad again. My...
Not sure where to put this. The events leading up to the attack are complicated but involve a female employee possibly taking advantage of a person with developmental disabilities sexually. No hard core proof, but I say, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck...plus if she was a male...
My last horrific therapist is now on personal leave. I have a new one finally, but they are in the same practice.
There are pros and cons to this therapist. She mostly does group therapy with another therapist and only takes on a few private patients, so if I am really struggling, she can...
How did you obtain housing? I get ssi/ssdi and didn't make enough when I did work to get more than the basic income of 700 something. I make 2,000 shy a year to qualify for hud or low income housing. How can that be possible that I am too poor to qualify for help?
I have no support right now, and can't even put into words what I am feeling, just that its like reaching out and not being able to grab on to anything. I feel a desperate need for a sense of security. Something familiar something reliable. Something external to count on.
I am also...
I am scared and in tears right now. I can only come up with 2 possible explanations for whats going on.
1. I am suffering from psychosis and paranoia or
2. My therapist has been gaslighting me.
I am to exhausted to go into details right now, and since I am filing a complaint I am not sure...
I know fight and flight can shut down certain systems to conserve energy from more imideate need survival systems, but can it literally shut down your digestive track for days?
After an extended period of being highly symptomatic, I would rate it a 12 out of 10, once I got the symptoms...
Yesterday was my birthday. I had been anxious to discuss the murder I witnessed a few days before the anniversary of my moms suicide and my suicide attempt on her anniversary having gone 5 days no sleep and my husband telling me he didn't know if he loved me anymore.
She told me my attempt...
Or maybe I just have bad luck. Not long after being in a car crash where both the seatbelt failed and airbag deflated I took out a windshield with my head. I am lucky to have no memory of the event, but I am still don't feel myself.
Well, what really brought me back was witnessing a...
I am way over my head and in desperate need of support and desperate to find a way to help her. I try to send her to school and she get so much anxiety that she starts throwing up when she tries to leave in the morning, then stays in bed all day playing a very old video game she used to play...
For those who don't know my daughter who was kidnapped by my abuser many years ago was recently returned to me. For a long time I had to put her out of my mind completely. I have dealt with multiple child loss, infertility etc. I know this sounds cold but after a while I had to put her out of my...
Well I now have a severely traumatized kidnapping and rape survivor teenager under my roof.
Long story and should be asleep, but this is a new venture for me
Advice on dealing with teens welcome.
There is so much going on in my life that I have wanted to share but couldn't bring myself to discuss it right yet.
I barely feel comfortable discussing this right now, but things are beyond what I can cope with. My bodies physical response apparently shows that as I passed out in public today...
