About 20 yrs a go I was working to much.I was working with a lady who had a stroke. She couldn't do anything for herself. I started thinking that would be great to be in her situation. It sounded crazy in my head. But I was so exhausted .... Looking back I needed a day off. But being a...

The most amazing thing just happened the other night. I was on the form I found a topic about emotional abuse, neglect. My husband was in the room. We have gotten to a place in our relationship that we just can't talk to one another. I told him thats what is going on in our lives. But I...

I just want to say to Ms Spock, thank you. I feel validated by what you say. After I read your response to me I went back and read my very first post. I had forgotten what I said. After reading my post I could hardly believe that was really me talking.I was in pretty bad shape. I knew I felt...

I grew up in a very disfunctional family. I agree that honesty is really your best way out of reliving your past. You will probably have less anxiety if your true to your self. We tend to let others dictate our destiny through fear, and rejection. That is how were programed. My grandmother who...

@Em C. Hi I just read your response again. You talked about somatoform disorder. What is that? I never heard of it.

I Have been reading allot about triggers.I Also get confused easily at times. Like today for example. Why I have outbursts that seem logical at the moment. Then When I am done I'm like what just happened. I could relate to the triggers about being a child and having to take care of sick family...

I just read all your thoughts and your right our system of helping people is lacking. When I feel like giving up I think of just one person out there who is also feeling alone and lost and the hope the possibility that I can help them and they can help me.That we will meet. To think on...

I got overwhelmed after writing how I felt.I took a break and haven't been back. I guess it's been a couple weeks. I do need to take it slow and really listen to all of you. I just read all your responses again this morning. I was able to take more in. I really do appreciate all your...

@Hellen B I read your kind words and I am glad I found this new family of friends. I want to be able to continue giving and recieving and praying for each and every one of you. Thanks for your prayers I really need them right now.

@franciemarnie Thanks for responding. I did go through a trauma group for six months. I had to stop because of no health insurance. I learned alot, but I know theres so much more to learn. Im hoping this website will help get me out of my isolation. I also grew up in an alcoholic home. It...

@ WendyA I just read your post and I am crying with you right now. I know exactly how you feel. People mean well but sometimes a hug that never lets go is what we need. I also am in allot of pain every day. You pretty much told my life story. I have tried more than four times in the last...

Thank you every body for responding yesterday. I am really feeling lost and alone. I know there are allot of things I should be doing. But I cant seem to get started at anything. I feel like there's anger just sitting waiting to take over. I want to be kind and loving but the anger gets in the...

@Ms Spock ,Thank you for your kind words. I had my daughter post how I felt. I haven't used the internet in years. I would be interested in knowing, how you get through the mornings. That is my worst time of the day. I never know what to do. I feel so overwhelmed.

I don't even know why I'm posting this here. I don't really expect anything anyone can say would help me, but my daughter thought It would be a good idea for me to try to reach out for support online. When my family is hurting, it makes me feel helpless. I know they all are hurting terribly...
