Introductions are the most difficult part of forums for me.

Hello, I am an individual who has faced many challenges in my life, including a previous 7 year relationship that was emotionally and mentally abusive. It has been a difficult and confusing journey, and the trauma from that experience has left me with PTSD. My current marriage is also causing me further harm and adding to my trauma, and it has been a challenging and confusing time for me.

What I thought was previously a support system has actually been causing me further harm, and I am working to navigate those relationships and better identify toxic patterns. It is a difficult process, but I am determined to surround myself with healthy and supportive people who will lift me up and help me to heal.

Therapy has been crucial in helping me to cope with my experiences and to find ways to heal and move forward. Without it, I genuinely feel like I would be lost. It has provided a safe and non-judgmental space for me to process my thoughts and emotions, and it has helped me to develop coping skills and strategies to manage my symptoms. I am grateful for the support and guidance of my therapist, who is also a certified music therapist and introduced me to the benefits of using music as a healing tool.

Music has been a powerful tool in my healing journey. It has provided an outlet for my emotions and has helped me to cope with difficult feelings and situations. Whether it's listening to a song that speaks to my experiences or playing music myself, I have found that it brings me comfort and helps me to feel more connected to myself and to others. Music has been an important part of my healing journey, and I am grateful for its power to bring solace and hope. I am thankful to my therapist for introducing me to this tool and for their support in helping me to find healing and hope through music.

My therapist introduced me to this website in hopes that I can use it for additional support on my healing journey. It can be difficult to talk about my experiences and feelings, but I know that connecting with others who have gone through similar experiences can be incredibly therapeutic. I am looking forward to sharing my journey and learning from others, and I hope that together we can find hope and healing.

It's so comforting to know that others understand you. I feel like I push friends and family away and hurt their feelings. They somehow believe that if they loved them enough I wouldn't be afraid of gatherings. I'm ok one on one but can't do holidays or anything with lots of people. I also have angry outbursts, which is completely different from my old personality, and that upsets them too. I always feel guilty so I stay away. It's lonely.
Besides my therapist, I feel alone with my issues. It's so isolating. This site has helped me a lot. Everyone gets it so there's no judgment.
 
Welcome 🌞 I'm also new, my therapist had recommended support meetings but I'd be crippled with anxiety. Online is much less pressure! I hope you find what you're looking for here. It's nice to be among others who understand.

Hello. I am new to this website and a lot of the topics you were bringing up I can relate to so well. Childhood was structured but still was subjected to situations where trust and decisions I had to make that were tough for a maturing young lady. I found my voice through listening to music and just writing some of the best thoughts I had in the moment was my calming place. I was with my 2 oldest children's father for almost a decade and the relationship was just as toxic as it could of been. My youngest daughter I was with her father only months because the manipulation and control just suffocated me so bad. I couldn't sleep because he would watch me, I couldn't go to a friend's house without him riding past, I couldn't work without him calling or popping up. I was choked just waking up and also chocked while eating dinner. I tried to get several restraining orders and went to a therapist for abused women so finding out I was pregnant during all the events just put me through even more paranoia.I lived my life in complete fear. At one time I felt so confident in the person I was and strived to be better and never realized that some people I considered friends or family was trying to steer me in the opposite direction because of their own short comings. It took me a while to get to the point where I put myself first before anyone else. My doctor wanted me to see a psychiatrist but what person can tell me better besides those that have been and still continue to struggle with different emotions and feelings everyday. Surviving is half the battle. It's getting over the events and having the support of others behind you that helps. You aren't alone at all.
