Wow, I hadn't thought of this. And I have become dependent on her. She knows my entire history, things I never told anyone. I feel awful without her support.

Her primary job is at the Veterans hospital in Washington, DC. She is a psychologist who treats military veterans cope with PTSD

I think I just wanted to be heard when I texted her! I felt I needed more closure.

Thank you, what you say makes sense! I am torn up as to what to do. She is very different from any therapist I have ever had. She gives me great support. She encourages out of session contact. I have her direct phone number. She never fails at answering me either by call or text.

P.S. I cannot handle anymore damage.

Hi everyone, I have a huge decision to make and I wanted to seek advice here. My therapist left me last week. We did phone therapy which by the way, is difficult. Anyhow, we had a session scheduled that she cancelled because she was sick. That's fine. I understand. She is human too. This was...

Welcome to the forum!

This was a great discussion to have! I have been here less than a month. Without input from others I would not have learned anything here about myself and others. It is imperative that we all gain support and nurture one another!

Yes, you are hurting, me too! I have been to a hospital. There is no relief there. I was not treated with dignity or respect, but someone who needed to be seperated from the population. It really sucked!

Anytime you need to vent, I will listen. I walk in the same shoes as you. I know where you are! Recovery seems impossible and beyond our reach. And I just don't think it's fair that we were victims of horrible abuse yet we are the ones who suffer. My abusers live free! Free from the pain and...

I mean every word of that!

If I could gather you in my arms to hug you, I would not hesitate. You deserve love as much as anyone ekse. Please don't take what your husband says to be the truth. He is causing major damage by abusing you emotionally. I too, dream of running away, but I have no support and no where to run. I...

Living in the moment is difficult when my moments are filled with fear and terror. There are no words to describe how it is. Right?

I wish I could be positive for you snowflake! I am feeling the same.

When you have no more energy and nothing matters anymore.

I am so sorry that this is happening. I saw a bit of it on the news. I had no idea how bad it is! My thoughts and prayers are with all of the people affected by this horrible tragedy. The images of the fires are awful. I wish you strength and courage during these days and the days to come. My...

That's just awful! It makes me feel broken beyond repair. I guess I haven't learned to see the signs they give when they are ready to dump me. I know exactly how you feel.

I have no safe place. I have tried mindfulness and imagining a safe place. My brain is not strong enough to concentrate or focus.

Am I the only one to be dropped unprofessionally by 3 therapists? No wonder I have not been able to heal my trust and abandonment issues!

Warm welcome to you! There is so much to learn about PTSD. I have been ill for quite some time and I still don't know everything there is to know. Educating ourselves and finding support is crucial! I wish you well on your journey towards healing!

Welcome! Hope to see you posting!

Geez, I almost forgot how to smile and laugh. Thanks!

Lol!

Thanks. I used to be quite strong. I used to be a great friend. I used to be a loving wife. I used to be a wonderful mother. I used to be a great aunt and sister. Depression stole that from me. PTSD has just enforced it all.
