Feeling guilty for going non contact with my narcissistic mother. It has been about 2 years. There was a lot of abuse and neglect, violence and emotional denigration. I know that I did the best healthiest thing I could for me, but on some days I feel so alone. I feel very low (not suicidal any...

Hey crowd, been feeling very lonely, disconnected from the world & people lately. I tried being friends with someone for about 3 years now (living in a new location)... but it has been difficult. Like pulling teeth. And most people around me just don't get me. And a lot of the time people try to...

Sorry Suzy

Thank you for replying! I couldn't agree more that not expressing your self - can drive one insane! For some of us its just what we do - write, draw or sing. Anything. Thank you for sharing that praying helps. For me, meditation is key and may be in some ways it's all the same. And you are...

Thank you for sharing your feelings! I feel for you & I've been there too, feeling like I am losing to that other mean person. Feeling like I am nothing. But just like Tempus fugit said here - just keep going. It will pass and keep taking care of yourSELF - you need to build good experiences of...

Just wanted to share good news with anyone who has suicidal thoughts. I've been suffering from suicidal ideations since I was a kid (5 yrs old) and I tried killing myself 4 times when I was 5 - 14. Luckily I was saved during those times. Later my active ideation slipped into passive, but last...

Oh... so terrible! Please, don't suffer in silence! Talk to friends or family, ask someone to stay with you. You need support and love. I am so so sorry. And I think a professional therapist can help too. Sending healing and loving thoughts to you. May you feel better one day (even a little bit...

I am also glad that you too are an artist. Hope you can navigate your heart through rough times and express it in your art. I like your picture. Is it your work? I love the black and white contrast. Very powerful. For me I am just piecing myself together every day and some days it works. Have a...

Thank you for your reply. I agree that triggers are just life (my therapist totally agreed). I am so sorry you don't have a family to lean on. I hope you can create a family of friends. My birth family totally rejected me after decades of me trying to build common ground or find understanding...

Thank you very much for your reply! I appreciate your advice! And in fact, I started writing about my feelings, noting my own real thoughts after you suggested it. It wasn't easy, but actually very important. I can't explain how exactly, but writing my own poetry, freeform writing gave me my own...

Hey everyone, I am writing a book about some of my traumatic experiences and with my ptsd I am having flashbacks. However, I am really determined to keep going. My last flashback lasted a whole day and it was very persistent, left me unable to do my regular work, errands, etc. I was very shaken...

Hey! I am a survivor of childhood abuse, neglect & witnessed violence as a kid , started Emdr 5 month ago... And it's peeling layers and layers. I am grateful for it! It's powerful! Thanks for sharing your success story. It helps because, there are days when I struggle and your story gave me hope.❤
