It's okay for it to still be with you at this stage of your life. The mind is a funny thing. We sometimes repress things because we can't deal with them due to survival or dealing with other things. I'm so glad you reached out for help and are in therapy rather than taking your life. You...

It's good that you're reaching out, especially to people here who will get you. I pray you find kind support here. Keep with the therapy. Take each day at a time. I understand being hyper-sensitive. This is my lifelong theme. I've learned that 25% of the population is a HSP (highly...

I don't feel like you're whining. These are very real, very hard things and a lot going on at the same time. Stop apologizing and just lean on your friends or us here for a bit. I understand financial stress and strain and that takes a huge toll on everything. I don't know how much debt you...
