Thank you so much to everyone who replied. :) after reading about it more and asking lots of people, and reading the comments here, I decided to not drop next semester. Instead I'm gonna be taking 12 units worth of fun art classes to help me relax :) Thanks guys! :) I really needed to hear all...

Hello everyone. I'm a university student and I've honestly been getting worse and worse in my studies. I feel so out of place and grounded most of the time, and I'm already failing a class... And I desperately want therapy, but I have no money for a therapist and my insurance for some reason...

Is EMDR good? I know regular talk therapy doesn't exactly treat PTSD, but I'm a little hesitant to try EMDR...it sounds...well....strange. :unsure: Does anyone here have any experience with it? And, well, I hold up together really well in public n stuff, but that's cause my dissociation...

Thank you so much for the links ! They're very helpful! :) That is a lovely point Florian! :O I wasn't even aware of that...i guess it would make sense ahahh Oh I feel you there! :hilarious: Ahahah, I got 20 years worth of pent up emotions, ain't no 10 step program solving this shit! xD Thank...

Hi guys. Well, I want to find a therapist. I have(had?) medi-cal, so a month ago I had some free consultations with some therapists. I ended up not taking any of them because I'm having insurance issues and might be switching to an HMO. I think it might be a tiny blessing in disguise. Because...

Thank you... :')

Hallo people who read this. :oops: I was just curious if anyone else has this issue? Basically, I feel as though really nothing's real. I feel like my body and actions and words are just a fake, a front while inside I'm just numbly puppeteering my body. I feel like everything's disconnected...

Killing yourself isn't the answer...you still have your family, your children who love you. You're still you...even though you're trapped in your mind and can only see darkness, you're still you. You're fragile right now, and that's ok. Its ok to be fragile. The hell you've gone through is...

I play quite a lot of video games xD its a bit impossible for me to list 'cause then it'd be in the hundreds. o.O But I have owned N64, Wii, Gamecube, PS2, PS3, SP, DS, 3DS, and XBOX 360. o(O w O)o Plus I have a awesome gaming PC that's basically a glorified Sims 3 machine x'D Anyone play...

My psychiatrist prescribed it to me 'cause I was getting really bad nightmares and just not sleeping well in general. It works well! It's impossible to OD on, it doesn't react to alcohol, and I take about 1 pill every 3 hours to help me be calm enough in time for bed. In small doses it works as...

I have ADD! Just recently diagnosed actually. Honestly though, it completely explains a lot. I'm the inattentive subtype.

I voted yes though I hesitate to call myself an artist. I'm just not good enough yet to earn that title! However, I'm learning computer animation, 3d modeling, and creative writing. I wanna have a one-man game studio one day. :)

You gotta support him, but you also can't let him take advantage of you. What a lot of people don't understand is that being a victim doesn't give you the right to victimize others. Just cause you were hurt, it doesn't give you a free pass. It's part of a "victim mentality." And relationships...

For me, at least, it feels like my body is a puppet and I'm tugging the strings. My shell is peppy and smiley and when the shell is around its friends, its happy and quirky and when the shell is with its boyfriend its romantic and head over heels in love. But me, floating behind the shell...

Thank you so much for your comment. It made me tear up a bit ahah..What you say about how abusers and non-abused people is so spot on...so many times, I've had school staff tell me how ungrateful I am towards her just because she would drop of flowers for me to try to coax me back to her. Even...
