Whatever works for you. You don't have to do anything you don't want to do.

I cannot relate to you on the particular types of trauma you have endured, and perhaps am not the greatest example since I am also recovering...but I don't think there's a simple fix to what you're feeling. I can't say what will help you recover from all the things you have mentioned...for me it...

Hi, Genea. I just want to ask a question, and feel free to shoot it down but have you ever thought of group therapy? I am not sure if it would be beneficial to you, but I have done group therapy in the past and it has helped me...you tend to open up more if there are more like-minded people in...

I just burst into tears reading this. It's so true. I am afraid that I have completely ruined everything. He has come back around before. I don't expect him to this time, but if he does he is a keeper. If not, then he'll make someone else very happy.

Thank you for the proper language. It does sting to read that, but it's the reality. I haven't really dated that much honestly. This is my 2nd significant relationship (at 25..that's sad, *laugh*), and I know I am bound to make mistakes. I also just wanted to say thank you so much for...

I am trying really hard to pay attention to the minimizing thing you all are pointing out. It is difficult to do. I know I went through something traumatic that no one should ever have to go through. I would never wish it on my worst enemy. I also am aware that there is not a singular bar or...

I have post traumatic stress disorder from witnessing something horrific at a young age (you can read my introduction for further information). I have not properly dealt with the depression or anger or the other feelings that arise when a trigger comes up. One of the most recent triggers for me...

My sincere apologies. C.O.D. is shorthand for cause of death.

What I was told was that COD was "self-immolation," so I suspect she was trying to protect me (probably more protect herself for some reason) from the truth. I know she struggled with mental illness. There must have been something that happened with her and her family back before I came into the...

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment on my introduction here. I look forward to seeing what this does for me. :) Thank you for your comment. I agree with you, though opening up has never been a problem for me. Early on, I began talking about my mom's suicide and it came with ease...

Hi, I am posting this because my trauma has seemed to rear its head in my relationships, at work, and just my emotional well-being altogether. As the subject says, this is my introduction. I want to start off by saying that I have been in therapy most of my life. I started at an early age...
