    Family drama... must get away - Anyone familiar with SSDI?

    @Friday , Sorry!! Just 3 more quick questions ??: if I get a job driving a car from Stop A to Stop B will they automatically find me a job from Stop B back to Stop A? Or do I have to find my own way back? Is there is very tight timeline that you’re supposed to get to the destination by? I only...

    Corona craziness + PTSD + anxiety = ???

    I just wanted you to know that the wording u used to describe what my mom did was so so very helpful, soothing, empathetic. Exactly what I needed at the time. But MORE importantly, I still need! I keep coming back to what u said whenever I feel like I’m going nuts and ur words calm me down. MaKe...

    Corona, my mom’s heart & of course... ANXIETY ?!

    Very astute of you. A few days ago I mentioned to her that perhaps it’s anxiety related and she said “maybe” (big deal coming from her to believe in mental health ?). Since then her episodes have gone wayyyy down :) I mean, she definitely has a real heart problem but I think the stress was...

    Corona, my mom’s heart & of course... ANXIETY ?!

    So... I’m living in the hot zone (NYC) atm so it’s been stressful, scary, sad to say the least. I’ve lost around 300 friends (& I’m not that old... although I do FEEL OLD), acquaintances, friends parents, neighbors, etc. Over the last couple of weeks things have calmed down SO much regarding...

    Corona craziness + PTSD + anxiety = ???

    So update time (should I be making this a new post?): things have calmed down SO much regarding corona... thank goodness. But about 2 weeks ago my friend and former classmate passed away. That one shocked me to my core. She was just the sweetest person. And a few years ago her 2 younger sisters...

    Aww, your so sweet ❤️. Thanks for your lovely words but... I’m NOT brave. I want to run away so badly. And yes, my siblings do say thank you but I don’t really like that because I’m not doing it for them, I’m doing it bc it’s my mother... no matter how much she may have messed up my life I...

    Corona craziness + PTSD + anxiety = ???

    I feel like I’m slowly (quickly??) going crazy. My mom, who I don’t have a great relationship with to begin with has been trying on my nerves. Last night, for the first time in my life, I called my mother a bitch. Not to her of course. Let me explain... Like I said, people in my community are...

    so sorry about your deaths ?. Even 1 is horrible. What am I doing to stay busy? Haha! Worrying, constantly checking for deaths, hoping I won’t find any. I’m thinking of buying a miniature house (or something) kit on Amazon but I can’t make up my mind. I have what I call “corona brain”... can’t...

    Stuffed ears & anxiety anyone?

    Wow. Your response has made me feel so much less alone and for that I’m so appreciative. It (hopefully) goes without saying that I truly wish you DIDN’T understand what I’m going through and have your own battle with it ?. But since I’m powerless to change anything, I’ll just try to express...

    Stuffed ears & anxiety anyone?

    That makes so much sense! Wow, I never connected it?! Amazing how many things we go through in life without making a connection... I’m so glad to know I’m not alone... I was kinda starting to feel like I was going mad. So this is REALLY interesting... what you mentioned about things slowing...

    Stuffed ears & anxiety anyone?

    Sometimes my ears feel like they’re clogged/stuffed... the feeling you get sometimes when you come out of the pool. And it happens to coincide with times when I’m anxious. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this? Or perhaps I just have a cold ???‍♀️??‍♀️. Thanks & hope your all...

    Dad did it... please help me

    Oh god, this is so hard. She was the first T I ever had who told me in no uncertain terms that I had been molested. I felt like I was on the road to recovery. And now I have to start all over? With all this “maybe” info??? This is so hard! I can’t believe this is happening

    Dad did it... please help me

    I’m shocked. Rendered speechless. I did NOT expect this response fro you guys. Before you say this with utter certainty, let me just tell you that she based it on little snippets I told her about my dad. I think the clincher was one of the most vivid nightmares I ever had of being molested...

    Dad did it... please help me

    I always “knew” that something had happened to me when I was a child. Always felt I was molested. Ive seen quite a few T’s because I have panic disorder (more recently, about 6 years ago, diagnosed with PTSD) and I’ve asked them all if they can tell me if I was molested, after presenting them...
