Hi thanks for your hugs. It makes total sense what you write down, because I recognize it very much. Im glad you could do a few things with what helped me too. I hope you'll find a good therapist because there's a lot behind your fear and you deserve someone who can help you with this. You're...

ahhh so sweet. I love dogs like that! For anyone interested: If you type in 'codependent' you get a lot of articles and information on google about what I asked for and the identifying. Happy that I finally found what its called.

Hi @hodge My parents have a dog like that but this photo I took from the internet. Those dogs are so sweet! Your Misha was to I guess? I'm happy that you liked the article. I tried finding more information and practical tips about this but turn up empty handed. I wish I could find more because...

I'm so sorry. Maybe a stupid question but are you able to work less so you do get subsidized and you will have more rest for yourself? And are there people who can advice you who know how these things work like a social worker maybe? Or through the internet on some help website?

@ground crew Thanks for your answer. I have the same thing: I can't watch the news either! All those awful things. I've talked about this with others and they just turned out the tv and let it go. But I think about all those woman being raped or treated awful, people killing each other for...

Hi, I'm sorry you have a stressful time. I can relate to the irrational fears. Pfff.... Awful and they can be like its so REAL and realistic. I hate exams, they trigger me too. I have panic attacks then. Now I have a job and I have other fears. Like that I'm making awful mistakes, hurting...

Hi I'm sorry that your therapy is such an unsafe place. I really hate how the people of the staff did nothing! Especially in a place where people need help and therapy. Especially because it must have done a lot with you this situation. From what I've read I think it's unprofessional that no one...

Hi everyone, I have a job, just 10-15 hours a week which costs me a lot. Most of the time I'm afraid and when I get home I take the job home. I see a lot of people who go through difficult stuff. They are losing loved ones to cancer, or a child that will die. I'm a physical therapist. I work in...

I'm sorry for you. I recognize the money issue. It's so frustrating! In my country you have free help to go to people who can help you with practical things. (maybe you've already done that but because I don't know I'll write it down anyway). Those people know a lot about money and also how to...

@Chava, I think I wanted a perfect term because I'm mostly a thinker and I thought I am going crazy or something. And finding it on the internet and reading about it and recognizing gives me support. So giving it names in my head kind of supports me that there is a way out. That it's not that...

Hi everyone, I had these periods where I think that I was dissociating: my house would become a mess, I wouldn't be able to eat and drink for days (just a bit, I had to force myself) and it's like I didn't know what I'd done the days before that. But last week I read something about flashbacks...

I always wanted older therapists too because I thought they would have more experience. And I wanted them to be psychotherapists: higher educted then 'just' a psychologist. Because I had had so many awful experiences with psychologists in my past. The last 6 years I had two older woman and I had...

I'm sorry @The Albatross I wish you much strength!

I have a new job since a few months and I'm working with my boss who has the practice for a long time. A lot of patients don't want to go to a new person (me) and want to stay with her. I find this difficult sometimes because I take it personally: I'm always afraid of rejection. Today a patient...

Yesterday I was walking in the woods with my parents and their dog when we saw a tiny rabbit with one closed eye and there was something wrong with the other eye too. We called some place where you can bring animals and tried to catch the little one. That took a while and the poor thing was so...
