@joeylittle I can try that, having some guidelines might help. I still don't even open up until I've been in session for about 15 mins, I try to act like I'm okay even when I'm really obviously not, but I do trust my therapist a lot more than ones I've had in the past so I'm willing to try...

I don't know how to take that. She's said more than once if I need support throughout the week to call during office hours, even making more of a point of it the last couple of sessions, saying she hopes I can get to a point where I can reach out. It's not like I don't have multiple times...

Having a panic attack when confronting a phobia is completely normal and expected, sometimes it really does have to get worse before it gets better, which sucks but that does seem to be how it goes. I have agoraphobia too so I completely get it, most of the time I'm trying to avoid having panic...

I feel the same way, I still don't know for sure what's all happened and who was lying and who was telling the truth, but I'm glad at least that I'm not the only one, though it's painful for me to imagine other people living through similar experiences. When I was little I thought everyone went...

If you can keep with whatever momentum you have going right now, it would be a lot better than getting caught up in the system. I have disability support, it's probably dif in the states, but at least here, it was time consuming to get on and I know a lot of people who don't get approved despite...

I do get anxious about sleeping. I actually haven't fallen asleep yet. I used to take seroquel to sleep, but I've stopped taking medications so it's even harder to get any rest. I used to fall asleep with something in the background, like the TV. I can't do that where I am right now because of...

I had a dream about a week and a half ago, I'd been doing a bit better with sleep before this, but I had a dream that messed up my whole sleep cycle and I haven't been able to fall asleep at night for almost two weeks now. I had a dream about trying to run away from home. I already knew I tried...

I need to have my door closed to fall asleep.On most nights I need it locked too. I've been chewed out for it in different places I've lived because it can cause problems with heating/AC, so there I am cranking up the heat when I could probably leave the door open. But I don't like it to be open...

I have this, I get anxious leaving my apartment, even my room. It's a huge process just working up to get out the door. Half the time it's like the whole excursion is just one long panic attack. I don't feel safe out there with everyone's eyes on me, I either space out or become hypervigilant...
