    Stony Or Smiley Face?

    Yikes. I don't know if I could even speak to her. If I don't get at least some sort of reception when I'm speaking to somebody the words stop coming. We'd both be sitting in silence staring at each other, I guess. The lady I've been seeing recently is all smiles and upbeat. I haven't yet been...

    So What Does A Bit Of Trauma Matter?

    Yeah, I think ultimately you are right. If only there was just a magic switch to set it all right.

    Father's Day / Remembering My Abuser

    If I can remember to I'm planning to boycott social media on Father's Day next year. All of the pictures of people smiling with their dad's arm around them. I swear that's all I saw Sunday, it's like there's a dad picture pose. Well, I have never had a single one of those. My dad was really only...

    So What Does A Bit Of Trauma Matter?

    My take on this is more or less Scout's response above^. I'm wondering if it may be that your family situation from infancy is your big underlying, or original trauma. On the other hand, I kind of feel the same way you do. I don't have a diagnosis to argue with. I still haven't even told my new...

    Job Search And Anxiety.

    Nope, not alone. I cut myself off from the news years ago. I have most of my accidental contact with it blocked off, too. But some things slip through or are big enough to hear on the radio or in everyday conversation. :( I also have to take a lot of breaks from this site. I've got my...

    Job Search And Anxiety.

    Find somebody to take you out. Lol. I know that sounds ridiculous, but my friend was in a similar situation several years ago, suddenly lost a high paying job with no backup plan or savings, couldn't really even afford to put gas in his car. So I took him places and came to hang out and stuff so...

    Does Caffeine Make You More Anxious

    Yeah, I can't do coffee. Even tea is too much for me some days. I've always been that way. I get jittery and irritable and nauseous and can't sleep.

    How Can You Tell Intuition From Paranoia In Dating Relationships?

    This has been similar to my experience. Some things I just know. And that urge to search and find out- something- isn't really there. In the relationship setting it's really more of a dread of when that thing will come to light because I already know it will. To the OP, I'd suggest staying away...

    On The Road To Colorado

    Have a great trip! Everybody says Colorado is awesome. My husband's friend is there and speaks so highly of it my husband wants to move out there.

    Childhood Do Most Parents Tell Their Kids They Love Them?

    I don't remember my dad ever saying it. My mom said it every night at bed time until I was about a pre-teen. Then stopped. Now my dad is dead and my mom only says it on very rare occasion like if I'm about to move far away or something. The rest of my family is a mixed bag. Grandmas, yes...

    Stop Asking Me If I'm Losing Weight.

    Nobody has ever told me I was too skinny, but I understand where you're coming from. I can't stand when certain people make comments about my weight one way or the other. Particularly my grandmother. I get mad when she comments that I have lost weight just the same as when she comments that she...

    Not Sure If I Should Tell My Therapist Or Not

    ^Similarly here, the statute of limitations is something like 18 years after your 16th birthday if you were under 16.

    Sufferer Mindfulness

    It's one of the most useful things I have found. My current therapist lady has ordered me to go through an exercise online every day. Hopefully being accountable for it will turn it into a more regular habit. You don't have to close your eyes. The thing she sent me to has a scene to look at or...

    Throw-together Dinners Without Any Recipes, Using What You Find In The House!

    That's pretty much how I make everything. Throw random things together with no recipe. I have been a ball of nerves over the past week and haven't been cooking much so we've mostly been eating crap like hotdogs and drive thru krystals and I've been feeling even worse for it. :/ The other day I...
