I woke up in an anxious state today, though my medication, because my abusive family is around. My mother's husband verbally abused me some more today; was incredibly negative against me and my new therapist, said lots of mean things, and then when I went out for a drive with my bf, he road...

I was making sandwiches to put in the fridge, to have for breakfast, and when I looked at the table, I had a flashback of my bf's late sister; who died of a drug overdose. I saw her, and her son sitting at the table, and it was back to the Thanksgiving they spent with us. That hurt so much. I'm...

When I wake up, for the first few hours, even though I've taken a waking dose of generic Klonopin, I tremble, and I feel fear. Is this common for most PTSD and C-PTSD sufferers? I'm currently residing in a house that triggers me; as a lot of my recent trauma happened here. I had a flashback...

I went for therapy today, and we did a regression, where I went back to being 3, and I was to imagine myself as having a caring and loving mother. I cried my eyes out for the entire hour, and when I got back home, my boyfriend verbally abused me. He said "I guess I'm dealing with a child now."...

I had to explain my trauma to the third therapist in less than a year, and it triggered my anxiety through my Klonopin dose. I feel really uncomfortable tonight, scared, and I have been crying a lot.

I am both a childhood and adult domestic violence and rape survivor; multiple rapes from two different family members over the years. One of the rapists is deceased, and other one is still in the family. I have been living with my current boyfriend for almost 13 years, but he has a history of...

I had been to see her for three weekly visits. We were just getting started. The problem happened during our last session. She raised her voice at me, talking down to me and pointing into a notebook; page by page, to make an example, and she was angry at me. I gently mentioned to her that it was...

Almost one week ago, I got fed up with it, and I stopped all of my OCD rituals. Scary? Heck, yes, but I did it. I still have C-PTSD, and I get triggered by my family, this house, and certain music/tv/movies, but stopping the rituals felt so good.

This afternoon, I have been under a lot of stress, so I have been watching videos on YouTube on how to help the subconscious mind. I want to learn to keep my thoughts more positive. I want to learn how to operate from my wishes and desires. I am actively trying to deprogram my negative thinking...

I currently live in a house owned by my family; who has a toxic dynamic, and they often emotionally and verbally abuse me. I'm stuck here right now due to my illness, and financial situation. There is going to be a party here this weekend, and I'm scared, because I have no choice in the matter...

She says she thinks I can't handle it, and it will trigger me, so she's going to try IFS. I have been doing EFT at home, by myself. I've been to this new therapist 3 times; she says she is taking some time to get to know me before giving me therapy. My last therapist did not give me any real...

I have a lot of guilt and shame for taking .75mg a day of Clonazepam, because I never took meds before. The doctor tried to get me to take Lexapro, but I can barely handle this one medication, and I fear being poly-drugged. I had managed to taper myself down slowly a few months ago to .38mg a...
