    Social Sharing Changes

    Yes of course, I had never thought of Pocket and using the buttons for yourself. Probably my general dislike of social media that blinded me. Your new thread on site restructuring reminded me of this thread, sorry for the late reply.

    Parental Neglect. "am I Good Enough Now?"

    Did you ever let it finish, as it is indeed about completion of the impulse?

    Yoga and body memories

    SE is the most humane therapy I have ever done, and I have done quite a few other therapies over 20 years. SE goes as slow as you need and will never ever rush you into something you are not ready for. You are always in control of how far you can/want to go just as in yoga. It is so helpful for...

    "you Get Rid Of That Right Now"

    Sorry, but I am not familiar with these aliens. Who are they? It says from the right wing party at the end, but they get time to broadcast these nonsense. Amazing world :eek: Romains 8:1 yep

    DID T thinks i have did?

    In the past MPD was an entirely separate category, but not anymore since it is called DID. From Wikipedia: "Dissociative identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder (MPD),[1] is a mental disorder on the dissociative spectrum characterized by at least two distinct...

    Medical Overreacting

    Hello dear :hug: It is so unfortunate that you broke your right hand, as you already struggle with your hands. I hope this was at least caused by an accident and not an abusive person, but I got the impression from you that you had banned abusive people from your life. Totally understand...

    Feeling So Overwhelmed...

    Could you or he sleep in another room, the couch? Lack of sleep really wears you down, and if you already suffer from several pains, you need sleep. I am glad you have such nice dogs with you on the avatar with you :-) Take care so much.

    Parental Neglect. "am I Good Enough Now?"

    Wow I can imagine how pissed off that would make me too!! I am glad you are able to look around for a new therapist now. It seems SE would be very appropriate for you from what you describe. It is also clear that she did not really know SE as shaking is almost standard part of the work. I think...

    DID T thinks i have did?

    I am also sorry I missed your post so far. Maybe it can make things less scary if you think of DID as a gliding scale, and you are on the extreme, but all of us are also somewhere on this DID scale. We all are fragmented, and this will always remain scary and so am I, when a new fragment...

    I Can't Feel Beneath My Weird, Painful Exoskeleton (semi-disembodied)

    I thought fibromyalgia is linked to ptsd, at least that is what my therapist told me. For example: Link Removed

    I Can't Feel Beneath My Weird, Painful Exoskeleton (semi-disembodied)

    Oh yes, in therapy! How do you sit? It is weird, but I can only sit on the edge of the chair completely folded together, like chest to legs. I have never used the back of the chair. The chair is actually too comfortable. Interesting again not using the support that is available from the chair...

    Medical Overreacting

    How are you now Wildmermaid? I read on your profile that your bones felt like glass a short while ago. That sentence stuck with me as this is almost impossible to imagine for me.

    Yoga and body memories

    I read somewhere that people who swear a lot are more honest people than people who do not swear. I agree with that, and have no problems with it at all.

    Yoga and body memories

    Thank you @joeylittle I have seen it several times before, and could still make something out of the sentence, but this one was tricky :wacky:

    Zoloft And Nightmares?

    For at least a decade I have taken Zoloft, but for depression only. It did not do anything for anxiety. I usually was on 50mg and in bad periods on 100mg. It never had any side effects.

    Childhood Abusive Mother Harassing Me

    Is she writing only or also calling you? I have trashed incoming letters and not taken any phone calls from my mother. Zero response from your side will make it stop. It is haunting though that she gets your details without your knowledge. Also do not get listed in the phone directory if that is...

    Yoga and body memories

    Please let this be the least of your worries. I thought yoga was no competition, and who knows what the others have going on in their mind. I like this attitude, and I believe there are moments in which we have to break through the avoidance, and it takes a tough willpowered decision to begin...

    Parental Neglect. "am I Good Enough Now?"

    Oh, I am sorry about your therapist's attitude :-( It sounds as if she was not ready herself to deal with the heavy stuff. I remember you had a thread on it here, no? Good point! Cognitive awareness is necessary in any form of therapy I would think as a basis to get the traumatic event into a...

    So Much Pain

    I dislike to repeat myself as it is not meant pushy. Please try to let the friend touch you, when you are in such deep pain. I have also wanted to rip my face off during therapy, and could only go on with the psychotic pain, because my therapist had his hands on my head/face and was with me...

    I Can't Feel Beneath My Weird, Painful Exoskeleton (semi-disembodied)

    Nope it is not the most f*cked up thing I have read today :D Yes, I totally relate to this. Since two weeks I have a spine now, so I know what you are talking about :meh: I also have had to put so much energy in holding myself up. I have never felt my back was like a shell though with an inner...

    Parental Neglect. "am I Good Enough Now?"

    I understand this very well and I am very glad you found this solution. I also had 20+ years of talk therapy, which still did not free me from trauma. For me somatic experiencing has been my life saver. It is through this method that I also have understood much more about a normal human life as...

    Parental Neglect. "am I Good Enough Now?"

    For me acceptance usually only follows after emotional work like grieving. I understand your reaction very well as that is what I am in at the moment too, but with another piece of trauma. Still I believe for me it always follows the same route: cognitive awareness and analysing to death, going...

    Over A Month In, Prozac Has Changed My Life

    Good for you Senecia! You have every reason to be proud of yourself :) Mom wants only what is best for her not for you. Moving out will be the best thing to do for yourself. Way to go :tup:
