This is Becks and Loki. Siblings from a local rescue. My son wanted a cat and because we are both gone long hours I didn't want Loki to be lonely so ....I bought my sons cat a cat 😏. Loki on the right is a bit standoffish when it comes to attention. He tolerates it. Becks on the left...

Agreed. I am NOT a sobber. I am a quiet crier and while it's often in therapy, it's usually within 10 seconds of starting that I've shut it down automatically, almost unconsciously. Same thing when I'm alone. Never seems to be that deep healing cry. No noise, no body movement. My...

I literally just started brain spotting with my therapist 3 weeks ago. Have been doing EMDR for awhile when I don't fight him on it but I get so overwhelmed and I always end up just shutting it down. I positively excel at shutting down and closing off the feelings and memories. And I'm an...

Haven't posted in a long long time but I really felt this. I actually thought to myself awhile back how lucky I was that I found this site a few years ago and how much it helps me reading some of these threads but that I can only really go as far as I already have with respect to posting about...

I relate to this. I'm with you on the physical aspect of it. I surrendered to the fact that I'm just not an attractive person years ago. I'm a generally nice person, or at least I try to be and hope that I am viewed as such. And I understand that for some people, physical attractiveness...

These two statements bring up such an immediate reaction for me. Made my throat close off and my chest tighten up for a second. This is so relatable for me. So very much this.

Thank you @Movingforward10. Was honestly just hoping to give a post relationship perspective. It took me a very long time to realize how unhealthy it all was. And how the reasons that I tolerated went further back than I knew. When I first left my husband, my T said something that has...

I can truly relate to these words LucyLou. These thoughts of yours made me cry as I know exactly where your feelings are in this. I know that things from my childhood negatively affected it as well but during my marriage, particularly the last 10 years of it, this was very much my...
