My anger is a hold out for the past few days. I am angry I let someone's mean and vindictive actions toward me shake me up to the point of having a night terror. To which my BF woke me up and I had a bad reaction to being awakened and hurt his feelings. I am angry that since that point I have...

@Tanishq - Thank you for your support and encouragement. I continue to write and work for now just for myself. I am working on getting to a place I can share

For me I ask until I can understand it. I need to keep asking why until it makes sense. It sometimes feels like a compulsion, I keep asking instead of stopping and processing. I know it isn't always the best thing to do but I can't always seem to stop myself. This is especially true when it...

Funny! I can't help but agree. We are north of the worst of this storm but I know exactly what you mean. I used to work in a grocery store in the small rural town where I grew up and a storm forecast meant good business and extra hours.

I started to put my journal entry on my computer. I guess for me this is step one of being ready to share it. I am finding that in the first page or two I am feeling more and remembering more. I think it might be a good 2 step process for me to write it out and then add more details and edit...

@FridayJones I read the article. Thank you for pointing me to it.

In this case I was journaling my story, its part of the process I am working through. There were 9 points about the experience I was writing about. I journal about other feelings and things as well but this was a specific journal experience that had me pondering. I was looking for responses...

After doing a personal trauma journal (not on the forum) yesterday about one of my traumas I had 2 observations. 1. That by not typing my experience and feelings I could clearly define moments of greater anxiety based on how my handwriting changed. I didn't realize in the moment it was...

So I have been trying to do a better job of journaling. I am working on my traumas this way at this time. I journalled yesterday and while it had some trying moments after I had a few observations that make me wonder and want another perspective on things. First I found that I think for me...

During grief it is natural to get a bit lost and natural to feel guilt as I think the cliché "hindsight is 20/20" applies very well to periods of grief. It will take time to work through it all. Be gentle with yourself Sean.

So I have these moments when people get frustrated with me because I can't tell them what is happening inside. Usually it has to do when I try to express what I am feeling and I know the words just can't form them. I have this desire to run or I shutdown, I feel trapped in myself. Then 10...

I can relate to the feeling of having to choose to get rid of a pet because it was necessary for me to move forward with my life. I hated doing it but at the time I had no other choice. I very sadly returned our cat to the rescue we got her from, they were very nice about it and she was...

Thank you for sharing, I looked it up. I was looking for something as well but didn't have a direction to go.

I read your post and know that feeling all too well. I thought I was ok for months and then last fall had a crash back, everything set me off. Thankfully as time goes on we learn what things help and what don't. Your therapist sounds like he wants the best for you (sounds like a new...

I am sorry you are feeling this way, I hope you can find some peace away from those feelings soon. In speaking with you I see intelligence in you. I hope you find something in this day that is positive.
