Healing requires fastidious dedication, something I didn’t realise at all. I genuinely believed some therapy, learning coping techniques and a few lifestyle adjustments would fix me. It didn’t. They are tools to help you on your journey. I used to quietly scoff when health professionals would...

Birds chirp happily 😆

I’m still angry at myself for letting a complete sociopath into my life again. It felt like deja vu, so naturally felt myself regressing back to the headspace of a teenager and they just revelled in it I think. I couldn‘t be the mentally strong woman I needed myself to be & became weak. Although...

I’m still having trouble accepting what they* did was abuse because it was mostly psychological but when I met them online years later as an Adult they created this fantasy world again with us that now included graphic discussions of sex & how he liked to dominate. At first I loved it, the...

When me (11) & my 9 yr old sister were paid to perform pop songs/opera arias at shopping centres (malls) and encouraged to act like little adult performers with full makeup! 😒 Only happened once but was enough to realize it wasn't very healthy..

Blocking and going No Contact on social media will not only give you privacy, but the peace of mind you deserve to move forward in your life. You're a Survivor, not a Sufferer. Things will get better & you definitely dodged a bullet! Sending healing, positive vibes. 💓😌

Hey guys, just a quick update! 😌 My mental health has improved a lil', but unfortunately due to Employment Laws in my area the College couldn't give me any updates, (or more importantly, Closure) was strictly a HR matter, therefore wasn't contacted by them to discuss it further, no...

Hey, Welcome 😄 I totally emphasize with your serious injury. When something similar happened to me it really set me back. I thought at the time I would simply 'bounce back' after a year but it ended up triggering alot of residual pain I had not dealt with in life. I firmly believe there's a...

Thanks, it means a lot to me that people care ☺️ the institution got back to me to say they treat behaviour like very seriously so I’m hoping it‘s not brushed under the carpet so to speak…there was no sexual harassment rules or even a proper complaints procedure for students back at that place...

It was right before Therapy when my judgement got clouded & craved the reconnection, after ignoring/ghosting me I dropped all contact. It was so difficult to not get sentimental about old times..

Hi I'm Emma 🙂 I discovered this forum last week & feel ready to share my story as I reached out to my Abuser online hoping for Closure, he ended up Gaslighting me as a 33yr old so now finally getting Therapy as it has regressed me. (However, I did get it all of my chest and told him how much he...

The lower the dose the higher the sedative qualities are with Mirtazapine. My female doc hates this drug as she says they are actually given to cats to entice them to eat more food! 😫 When I was on it I was always hungry and sleepy... even on 30mg. Most people I know take 15mg which is great for...

For lunch I really try to eat more tinned sardines now and again & had them on toast with sliced tomato & some mayo (was a bit underwhelming to say the least)😂adding spicy sauce like siracha, cucumber, rocket etc livens it up! I also love Greek salad for lunch because it's so quick to make.

Thanks guys...Feel much better about it ☺️ it's tough when my sessions are only 55mins so after 10mins of informal updates about my life etc,the environment felt pressured somewhat. Being too hard on myself & being a people pleaser is def something I'm actually working on in my sessions as i've...

I've recently started Therapy for a past traumatic event in my life but for some reason whenever I go see her.... I can't cry over it!🙁 She's been amazing to vent to...and has given me loads of great, uplifting advice (even offering me tissues at the start!) I think doing this has made me not...
