@Tiffany2 - I've been in EMDR weekly for 7-8 months now, and I find that it's like peeling layers off an onion. I'm just getting into some of the deepest, darkest feelings of pain and suffering, so it's been really intense and incredibly overwhelming. I compartmentalized all of my feelings for...

Welcome, @Little_Big I'm new here, too, but so far this has been a wonderful, supportive place. I'm sorry that you are feeling such pain right now. I feel like that so often! You are not alone. It's been slowly but surely for me, and I still fear being vulnerable with most people. Maybe...

That's so awesome that you are in school!!! But I'm sorry to hear that you are struggling. If Olanzapine helps, maybe you could try it short-term (even if you hate it) just so it won't be so hard right now. Maybe your doctor could help you think about what you want to do. Please know you are...

Exactly what @Zoogal said! You will really "get it" and be able to offer insight that others who haven't been there may not be able to give. Good luck!

Thank you! This is fantastic info. I hope to really commit to yoga this year. It's so encouraging to hear these stories of what works for people.

Oops - I scrolled down and saw the rest :)

That's fantastic and such a huge accomplishment! I will be starting grad school this year, so you are an inspiration :)

This is so awesome! Setting boundaries, being aware of and honoring your needs, leaning into fear - these are all HUGE steps! Way to go! Very inspiring!!! :)

Every bit of progress in this journey is huge progress <3 So happy for you!

This is awesome! Way to face your fears and just do it!!! Congratulations!!

Awesome!!! So wonderful to celebrate such a huge accomplishment!!! <3

Thank you for sharing! It's good to know I'm not alone! It's been rough lately. I'm going to try a bodyworker (somatic kind of person) to see if they can help.

Just remember, you are not alone. A difficult work environment can really suck the life out of anyone. Maybe even taking a long weekend could help? When I feel trapped, I try to look for ways that I'm not trapped (even though it seems impossible). If I'm in a bad job, I make sure to take breaks...

I found this site yesterday, and it's already been so encouraging to see that I'm not alone, and there is so much support and understanding coming from the members. It's wonderful <3 I feel embarrassed to write all of this, but I have an irrational fear of not having money. In my mind, money...

I'm so sorry! I get it! I was barely able to drag myself out of bed for a while, and work sometimes feels like it takes everything I have. I have no idea if this is an option for you, but when I was hardly functioning, my therapist suggested that I go on medical leave. I don't know if you have...
