Great job!

Sry you are struggling so. It is tough if you send conflicting messages to your T.....I now realize how much in the past I have alluded to some really tough things and they seemed so clear to me what I said, but in hind sight what I said was not clear at all. If you reach out to your T and say...

Agreed. Thank you for all the work you put into this and making it available. I stay out of the drama so not really sure nor do I need to know what all has been going on. I appreciate the information provided and support for things that others do not get.

I have been in a similar setting, but maybe with a little more structure for short term....it is tough, for me it was for my safety....we did have movies, no computer or cell though. Hang in there. Hopefully something will seem helpful. Sending positive vibes your way.

Education is so key...an analogy that has helped me is to equate it to the person working in their office and interrupted.....takes a while to get back on task....same for my service dog, distracts and confuses him....great job and good luck.

Awww....keeping you in my thoughts. I hope it is beneficial. I am glad to know you are safe.

Just checking in on you. How is it going? Were you able to talk with your T?

I have not been there. I went to another place and I actually wrote a list of questions and talked with the administrator and she patiently listened to my questions and answered. Is that something you might be able to do to alleviate some of the fear? It is scary....I get it. Best wishes!

I think it would be helpful if your T can give you some information and clarity, maybe what to expect. It is scary. I just want you to be safe and get support that you need.

I agree....that push/pull...tough!

S ending thoughts your way. What are you thinking? Better to go yourself? Holding you hand from afar as you make tough choices

I get it...those "little things"....i feel so stupid, but when already struggling those are horrible and upsetting. Hoping your appt goes well today.

Thinking about you and sorry it is so difficult right now!

There is nothing wrong with you.....or if there is I am in the boat with you. I have done EMDR on/off for years....it has really helped in something and not in others...definitely did not "fix" it all, somethings still to difficult to tackle. I just can't watch things like that on Youtube or...

Welcome to a place where you will not feel alone in what you are experiencing. Great job reaching out.

None of us want to get “worse” ....but I guess I always go back to starting on this journey because things were not working the way they were.

well done!

Great job! May they make you feel confident.

For me there is something about hearing it said by someone else out loud...makes it way too real, even though I rationally know it is real....then there is the whole other layer of hearing myself saying something out loud (if I get it out)....I think it has part to do with involving yet another...

Welcome to the forum. So sorry for all that brings you here. I do not think you are alone at all in what you are experiencing and feeling. It is a long and hard process for change. For me has taken a huge combination of things...different therapists, EMDR, CBT, DBT, art...4 months of...

That is a really, really hard one. It is something I have been working hard on lately. One thing that helped for me was to actually write something and either email it or take it with my to appt....sometimes I could read it, sometimes I had my T read it. Shame thrives in darkness, it sucks...

I hope that you got to ask all your questions in your assessment...they are all great and very valid. Each group is different so those questions have to be asked for each one. I have been in horrible ones, but just last week finished up a 16 week one that was awesome. Keep us posted.

So sorry that you are struggling so right now. It sounds so familiar how you can be hopeful and then suicidal. One thing that has helped me is a scrapbook with notes from others about who they see me to be, or encouragement along with some milestones along my journey. It helps me to go back...

Welcome to the forum. Hoping that you feel supported here and not so alone.

Sounds like you have really done a lot. I would hope your T did not expect you to necessarily "complete" writing it all. I love that you drew as well. Hoping that you can be proud of yourself for what you have tackled. hoping you can rest and have a good session tomorrow.
