Yikes. I don't know if I could even speak to her. If I don't get at least some sort of reception when I'm speaking to somebody the words stop coming. We'd both be sitting in silence staring at each other, I guess. The lady I've been seeing recently is all smiles and upbeat. I haven't yet been...

Yeah, I think ultimately you are right. If only there was just a magic switch to set it all right.

If I can remember to I'm planning to boycott social media on Father's Day next year. All of the pictures of people smiling with their dad's arm around them. I swear that's all I saw Sunday, it's like there's a dad picture pose. Well, I have never had a single one of those. My dad was really only...

My take on this is more or less Scout's response above^. I'm wondering if it may be that your family situation from infancy is your big underlying, or original trauma. On the other hand, I kind of feel the same way you do. I don't have a diagnosis to argue with. I still haven't even told my new...

Nope, not alone. I cut myself off from the news years ago. I have most of my accidental contact with it blocked off, too. But some things slip through or are big enough to hear on the radio or in everyday conversation. :( I also have to take a lot of breaks from this site. I've got my...

Find somebody to take you out. Lol. I know that sounds ridiculous, but my friend was in a similar situation several years ago, suddenly lost a high paying job with no backup plan or savings, couldn't really even afford to put gas in his car. So I took him places and came to hang out and stuff so...

Yeah, I can't do coffee. Even tea is too much for me some days. I've always been that way. I get jittery and irritable and nauseous and can't sleep.

This has been similar to my experience. Some things I just know. And that urge to search and find out- something- isn't really there. In the relationship setting it's really more of a dread of when that thing will come to light because I already know it will. To the OP, I'd suggest staying away...

Have a great trip! Everybody says Colorado is awesome. My husband's friend is there and speaks so highly of it my husband wants to move out there.

I don't remember my dad ever saying it. My mom said it every night at bed time until I was about a pre-teen. Then stopped. Now my dad is dead and my mom only says it on very rare occasion like if I'm about to move far away or something. The rest of my family is a mixed bag. Grandmas, yes...

Nobody has ever told me I was too skinny, but I understand where you're coming from. I can't stand when certain people make comments about my weight one way or the other. Particularly my grandmother. I get mad when she comments that I have lost weight just the same as when she comments that she...

^Similarly here, the statute of limitations is something like 18 years after your 16th birthday if you were under 16.

It's one of the most useful things I have found. My current therapist lady has ordered me to go through an exercise online every day. Hopefully being accountable for it will turn it into a more regular habit. You don't have to close your eyes. The thing she sent me to has a scene to look at or...

That's pretty much how I make everything. Throw random things together with no recipe. I have been a ball of nerves over the past week and haven't been cooking much so we've mostly been eating crap like hotdogs and drive thru krystals and I've been feeling even worse for it. :/ The other day I...

Yes they do. Nearly everybody needs a mental health break sometimes and the ones who don't recognize that and take it just get worse off and become less and less productive and useful at their job. Don't feel like a failure. You wouldn't feel like a failure because you had to stop to eat lunch...

I have been an INFP with every form of the test; in school, short quizzes and long questionnaires online, through books, over the last 16 years. No fluctuation. Weird. Also weird to see several others here. I never encounter them in "real life."

Wow, yeah, I may not feel the same about guys coming onto me, but I can see this in many other areas of my life. I totally relate to what you guys are talking about here in the last few posts. My therapy session the other day mostly focused on this topic, actually. Having gone my entire life...

I know, people are weird. There's no telling how they'll react. I don't actually know the girl. I've only ever seen her in passing. So there's no way I actually would tell her anything, @itsKismet . If she was a friend, maybe. I might have an obligation to her then. It's just- the nerve. I could...

I was never Catholic, but yes, I do have similar experience. My religion stopped making sense for me after some life events and I have felt kind of lost and isolated and sad about it for years. I also feel a disconnect with some family members and friends that I was close to when I held similar...

I get kind of grossed out, but it has only ever made me angry when it was somebody I knew. A friend from high school, one I went out with once long ago tried for years to "convince" me that his wife was okay with him messing around. I don't know why I kept giving him the opportunity. I should...

I haven't had that happen since I started the medication. I do get dry skin that itches on my forehead in the winter when the humidity starts dropping (I live in a very humid area of the US, like it's 8am and already at 90% right now). I guess my skin is used to the constant moisture. If I'm not...

I think this is the best thing for you to do.

No problem! What I wrote probably wasn't very coherent. It's usually not. LOL

I think you're taking my comment the opposite of what it was meant to be @Chava . When I was a kid people took an entirely different approach to things. Things like child abuse and relentless bullying were considered a normal part of life, and I guess people were still of the mindset that what...
