    So Confused

    You know it really helps to know others relate to this and that I am not crazy for feeling these ways. And its feels so nice to have people understand exactly what I am saying and why I am feeling a certain way, instead of being treated like I am being difficult. I can't explain the feeling of...

    So Confused

    Hi again, I realized a huge trigger for me today, and just weighs me down so much, I just want my brain to function normally. The anxiety and stress bring me to the point of being physically sick, I can't eat I can't sleep, I can barely think. It puts me in a spot that I can not stand. I just...

    Did I Deserve It?

    I do CBT and have not really tried radical acceptance. I think a part of me does accept things but I have this fear that I am wrong and what I need to accept is it was me the whole time.

    I think a MMA class would be a great way to manage anger, you should consider it, if you see a therapist you should ask their opinion.

    Did I Deserve It?

    Yes over a year ago I moved in with my very patient loving BF, and since then I have made much progress. But I still carry the pain, guilt and blame. Some days I understand that it was not something I can help, but some days I feel like it was my fault and I get scared I am going to damage the...

    Did I Deserve It?

    When I have tried to go to her for comfort she treats me like I am weak and I cause my situations. None of my family has been supportive besides my brother, but I can't be honest about to abuse and rape to my brother because I can't stand to hurt him.

It is important to regulate it like any other medications and not abuse it. And it is a controversial...

    Simple Things

    I can't speak on experience, but from what I heard it does help supply an outlet for anger. Before I took the classes I had more stress which at times lead to aggravated moods, Now have far less aggravation. When I was with my ex fiance, he had major anger issues and I tried to get him into MMA...

    Cycling Through

    It sounds like you can use some good sleep. It is so hard to carry that feeling with you, but understand it is a symptom.
