I am so sorry. That is so scary. I do not have any great advice. I struggle with feeling safe. Just wanted you to know you are not alone and I hear you. Do you have a therapist? Hoping you have some support to create a safe space. Take sweet care of yourself.

Totally understandable and scary!Glad you made it through...kudos to you! and glad you got some rest.

So sorry...that sucks. Hope you have been nice to yourself today and can get more rest. Sending you positive vibes.

Welcome to the forum. Great job reaching out. I hope you get some rest.

I am so sorry that your prior T laughed at you. For me validation is important...I have learned a lot about how I need to self validate, but I tend to shut down when I feel invalidated. For me to trust my T i have to know they believe me...I do not think your T saying he believes you is...

welcome and great job reaching out.

If you are not safe and cannot get in touch with dr. go to the ER, go somewhere safe. So sorry it is affecting you so.

I am so sorry that it is such a struggle right now. Hoping that today has shown a little light your way even if only a brief glimpse. You are so supportive to others on this sight...that is something...that is an accomplishment.

Absolutely relate! I think it is only "normal" not to reveal everything at once. There is no timeline, no have to, it is your story to tell when and if you want.

Congratulations! That is so awesome. I hope that there is a way for us to see if you are willing to share.

I could have written your post. This has truly been a struggle for me. I have never been able to "buy" into the unrealistic affirmations. positive thoughts. My initial response was very similar to yours. Over the years I have worked hard to find things that I could believe, even if just a...

Yes! It has been blowing all day with the highest gust above 80MPH...the sound, the shadows.

You are not alone, but surrounded by many who get it. Great job asking for help and reaching out....that is huge. I hope that you are taking sweet care of yourself

Take sweet care of yourself and honor her. so sorry for the loss and the pain.

Welcome to the forum. Great job seeking out information and support in your journey. Best wishes.

I am so sorry that you are struggling so with pain and then on top of it for "professionals" to blow you off. It so hard to find the right person willing to listen and help seek answers. I have been going through this as well. I think i have finally found a good dr. I hope that you can find...

Sending positive vibes your way. So understandable as you peel away the layers it is raw underneath leaving you feeling exposed. Sounds like you are really committed to doing the hard work. Hoping you can show yourself some kindness this weekend.

It is so hard asking for help/support. I have struggled with what to even ask for. It helped when I could actually identify a few things, i.e. I just need someone to "hear" me, or I need someone to acknowledge that sucks....You have taken a brave step to start discussion and reach out here...

welcome to the forum. Great job reaching out here to get some support. Know that we are here cheering you on to make that call. It is so hard to make the call, to start with someone new, but spiraling downwards is not a good option. Best wishes.

I can totally relate to what you are feeling. For me I know part of it is fueled by shame and fear that my T (or other person) will look at me differently after sharing personal things. Do you have email access to your T? Well done trying to use your skills to cope!

I have not with a dr, but I have with t and an art t. Both of them I had a relationship in person with first so built that trust factor before transitioning to skype. It has worked for me, but not sure I could do it with someone I had not met before.

I also agree. I would lay it out like you did here, why this seems like the right timing for you. Best wishes and kudos for trying to look out for yourself!

Well done working this past year to get tools in your tool belt and feel you are ready. I agree with others it is so important to had something you identify as safe to return to...a place (real or imaginary), smells, sounds, textures, tastes...so important that you incorporate some of these...

I am so sorry that this happened to you. How frightening. Have you talked with a therapist at all about this? Take sweet care of yourself.

So sorry! How stressful. Keeping you in my thoughts today and hoping for a better outcome than you are thinking.
