This has been one of my "top" or most common symptoms from the beginning. It used to be constant, now more of a "warning" sign...something to pay attention to. I have run out of therapy sessions to be sick. something to pay attention to.

I was a true skeptic. I went to residential treatment for 4 months and it was offered there. I did not want to do it, but was trying to give this last ditch effort of residential my all and try everything they offered. It is truly amazing how a horse senses you and responds. I would...

That sounds horrible. So sorry that happened...kudos for even giving it a second effort. Take sweet care of yourself.

still lack the brain cells to figure out posting pictures of my great gifts....BUT I am enjoying coloring and getting my calendar ready for the new year. It has brought me some moments of peace in the midst of chaos...Thanks!!

WOW! Thank you so much to my Kris Kringle. I had a tough day and completely forgot to come on here to open gifts together. Maybe it was meant to be because I opened now it it really helped calm me. I LOVE to color. This could not be a more perfect gift. And a coloring planner/calendar....I...

Is your therapist open to email at all? That sometimes is "easier"....or I have written a journal entry and taken it and just read from it without looking at my therapist at all....somehow having the words on paper to read is easier than trying to come up with the words when overwhelmed in...

I have done 4 months residential myself. Had a therapist who has PTSD herself...best thing I ever did. I would not be alive if not for that. Hope you and he can find the help and support you need.

So sorry that he is not more supportive. also kudos to you for talking to your T and also being vulnerable with your husband. That takes huge courage! I totally get that is hard to believe, especially when you get a non-supportive response. Doubt looms in loud along with all the negative...

Got mine! :)

holy crap....me who does not leave home much...traversed the PO and got hassled about return address...I was successful and it is sent...whew!

Congrats...Enjoy spoiling her and loving on her.

I am so sorry that you are experiencing this. I have experienced this and still do at times. For me I have found it best not to fight so hard to be normal. The more I fight something the worse it becomes. I acknowledge my fear or what I am feeling and experiencing, sometimes even thinking...

Thanks for doing this Nicolette

Best wishes....great to have a plan and support.

Great job! It is definitely something that I turn to.

sending hugs and comfort your way :hug: Absolutely no reason to feel ashamed at all. That is a horrible trigger. Please be gentle with yourself. Do something to comfort yourself. Great job reaching out here. Acknowledge and honor all those feelings....they are legitimate. Also do something...

Welcome to the forum. Hope that you find the supportive community that would be helpful to you.

Never been brave enough in the past to do this, but I am going to try.

I have tried all of the above...Many times i thought it should be obvious from what I alluded to, but no. I have found art very helpful and often can express something I have no words for or just cannot say. Time after time I have found if I can just face it and get it out the reception is...

Yes as others have said you are not alone. I hate Halloween...the anticipation of a knock on the door, the creepiness of people hidden behind masks, etc. I am so sorry that you are facing this and still trying to get a paper done. Are there things that help you at times with anxiety? music...

I so get this feeling of driving others away by being "too needy". I often think we are too hard on ourselves and perceive that we are always the reason for failure in a relationship when in reality maybe it is also the other person's crap. I have seen how supportive you are in chat so I guess...
