good to hear. Hugs if you accept!

I felt pain but had to be a big girl and not cry, i felt really restrained, and remembered blood plus I was so so sad I just shut down. That was what I uncovered today in session. I feel the same body sensations as I did last few times I have been uncovering my trauma of being sexually...

thinking about you

hey bookoffee maybe reach out to a hotline to get you through this rough time. Find some privacy and make the call before you hurt yourself please bookoffee. You do belong here. You are important even if you can't feel that right now, it's okay even if that's hard to believe, you can get through...

16 years ago today i had to get an emergency protection from abuse order on my ex boyfriend. He had to get this emergency PFA delivered on 3/6. Just difficult day still after all those years, I feel sad.

welcome I am so sorry for your pain. Seems you've suffered a lot. You are on a good site for it. So many can relate as do I. Life terrifies me often. I have been drowning myself in hobbies that are healthy and keep my brain busy. I also need my therapy or I don't know where I would be today...

hello I feel your pain and I am sorry. Is there anything you've done that can help you get through the urge like use markers or draw something beautiful or write words you like? I don't know if you've already tried or would want to but that's helped me in the past. Its tough. I also try to just...

thank you!

last night I had a dream that I took a few Xanax and then a few more a little while later, and then again more a bit later because I wanted to run and hide forever. I was okay when I woke up. I don't have a script for that anymore, it's been years. Thank you Red for asking. I do feel lucky about...

I can't seem to wrap my head around the things that came up in emdr. It was another tough session and again my body is feeling things as i expected it would. Memories came up of being raped and now I feel an emptiness even though I'm surrounded by love. But still feel like I'm not quite feeling...

thanks!

makes sense. Today I have another session. I know now what to expect. I know that I won't be myself tonight or tomorrow. I will be normalizing my situation as much as I can in order to survive. I will have discomfort to my body and disturbing images. Atleast I know what to expect.

thank you

since my emdr session yesterday I had three small panic attacks but grounding worked so I was okay I guess it was with in minutes but felt like longer to me. I have a hard time not thinking of what I uncovered yesterday which is okay cuz I know I'm working through things and have support. During...

thank you so much

in my session today of EMDR i uncovered some things, about being sexually assaulted, but even after it came out i still don't remember it actually happening to me. And I almost didn't remember what I said during session. I go through so many feelings it's difficult to really know or remember it...

It is not your fault. You are not to blame. It's normal to feel this way though. I am sorry, I feel like I know what you are going through, from 15 years ago when I survived my ex abuser strangling me. You are a survivor!

it sounds to me like you have done everything that you thought you could do at the time. You haven't failed. Take some time for you, keep supporting your partner and its okay to ask for support from your partner too, my advice is be specific to what you need and ask how you can help...

I see what your saying, so many times I just can't even speak with my therapist and I hate it because i don't want anyone to feel they have to pull teeth. I practice with myself sometimes when I'm alone cuz if I say it aloud, sometimes I can just repeat what I remember saying aloud. It's just so...

somehow last few weeks I knew I was getting to the point of cutting or doing something wrecklace, told my therapist and got a new med that I feel like is actually helping, for now. It's very scary to he where you are at and I am sorry you are hurting. I would talk to my therapist right away even...

All the time. I've been doing EMDR for a few months on a weekly basis. It takes me days to recuperate and recharge, just in time to go back into another session. It's hard. I too use coping skills that work for me. I color. Alot. I binge watch tv series and cuddle with my pets. I try to keep on...

Sure, sounds like your anxiety. Try not to beat yourself up. You find out in life what's your thing and what isn't as you grow. Not having known you for long, you seem to be someone who will achieve in making your dreams come true. Sometimes its a matter of knowing what those dreams are. And...

Thank you for sharing. My guess is that you aren't bothering any if us. You sound maybe young in 20's maybe but that doesnt matter. The future for a lot of us suffering seems pretty bleak but every day is a new day and we wake up and start over in a sense. It's hard. It really is. I feel for you...

Wow thank you for sharing. Your little me forgives you, understands, and knows that you are trying. I bet it was difficult writing that letter to your little me, but wow so.courageous. You are amazing. Hugs if you accept.

You are amazing. Hugs if you accept them.
