I understand. Alcohol has definitely been a comfort for me lately. I used to look down on alcohol as a form of comfort, but now I see it differently. I have overdosed in the past with different anti anxiety meds so I am without any drugs to help anxiety as it comes up. I started drinking after...

I understand completely. I don't know you, but I have extreme stressors that contribute to make me do things like put ropes around my neck or bags on my head to see if I can last long enough. I understand is what I'm saying. Things are horrifying sometimes and so stressful that most humans...

Good for you! I hope you kick her ass too. You know what I mean. I just hope you can feel like you are being supported in this endeavor and I am pulling for you. I wish you the best!!

I understand that very well. I have told my therapists about this "voice", and they are trying to work with it. I have severe OCD so that interferes quite a bit. They are working around that and seeing if that adds into it. I don't know. I just know I could relate to your message more than I...

Hi. I am very interested in DID, because my therapist keeps talking to me about how I have this other voice talking to to me that I listen to and that I let tell me what to do. I understand what she is describing but I don't understand how the entire thing is actually involved. I mean I try to...

I would tell them...some I have in a very small way. I just can't explain very much...enough to let them see what is really going on. It is mostly do to shame I think, but also a lot due to fear that it will just get spread everywhere, because my family does not keep anything to themselves. I am...

I lost my job to it, so all my co-workers wanted answers. I had no idea what to explain. I was in law enforcement but they were still working. I wasn't there so I couldn't really explain myself well enough to make them understand why I was gone all of a sudden. My job wasn't the only reason why...

DBT in any way is very rigid because that is how it was made to be. It is made to be followed strictly so people can easily adapt like a coach telling plays from the sidelines. They don't have to think through the plays on their own, because the coach lays everything out for them to know ahead...

I also hate DBT groups. I have been to a few at the prodding of my therapists and each time I have disliked it very much. It was too much for my head to wrap around in the sense that I was already triggered for a lot of the day, and trying to learn that information or at least add it to my brain...

I understand what you are talking about. I wouldn't say I was feeling "great", as you say, but I was feeling on the better side than how I had been feeling. I had a few nights where I hadn't thought about killing myself and hadn't hurt myself in an extreme way. I was just trying to get by like...

I hear you. I never wanted to hurt a soul. I was brought up in a very religious household and actually still do believe in God very strongly. That is the battle that rages in side me. The problem I have is that I worry about the people they are intervening and dealing with now. I feel...

It also surprised and upset me. I always just thought him being in some religious show would make him more morally righteous or good than other men. I know that isn't real, but I grew up in a crazy religious household with both Catholic and Protestant input. Both were strict but the Protestant...

That is why I want someone else to pay for my pain. Why should I be the only one to have been afraid? Why should I be the only one to have paid for what they did to me? My years of suffering are on them. They need to know and whether or not they own up to it...laugh, joke about it, don't care...

I understand. I don't really want to go to jail. My desire is to make my family afraid without that happening, you know? I am looking for a way for that to happen. I am also angry about that individual's family, who he is still staying with. I fear for them in some way, because they could be...

I think that is tremendously brave of you! I hope you got what you needed from that. I can relate to that exchange very well, but not so much in the sense of accomplishment of my goal. I had a similar experience a few years back with a family member who abused me. I wrote a letter late at night...

I understand. Thanks Solara. I'm glad you got what you needed. Ya, I just want to know certain things that I can't remember. I am not afraid at all of this person. I have since been through the military and law enforcement and I'm just more afraid I may hurt him than he may hurt me. I still want...

I was wondering if others have thought about hurting those that have hurt them? How have you dealt with it? I obviously know that legally you can't just go out there and really hurt them, but I have thought about confronting one of the people that have hurt me and if anything happened then I...

I know you don't think others can be like you, but we are. I can relate to the exact T. I always used to think I was on my own when it came to hurting myself. I thought it was just me that used to hurt myself in such unimaginable ways. Then I started to read more people's stories... People are...

You are so right on when it comes to me too. I can relate so well. I feel like I had this disconnect early in my life that continued through my early adulthood. I knew it was different form other people but it was only a feeling. I felt outside of myself, like I was viewing things from different...

I don't see how hurting myself makes me lucky...

I can relate too. I feel so weak. I hate myself for that weakness and not saying no to the people that hurt me. Now I take it out on myself. I hurt myself on a regular basis as if to show myself how guilty I am for not defending myself when I had that chance. I live with that every day. Knowing...

Good question! I definitely am! My Grandfather was a worker as far as I know, but I don't try to know much about the bastard. My Grandma knows nothing. She's just as bad as he is. She's evil. They were horrible.

I can't say I know exactly what you are talking about because it's a bit vague, but I know personally how self harm affects me on a day to day basis. I also can relate to doing things to myself that I never thought possible. I have hurt myself in such unimaginable ways that I couldn't look back...

It sounds like you are dissociating. I also do this quite a lot. There are a lot of books out there about it, but in the short term, I know for me I have learned some basic techniques to try to keep me grounded in the here and now. Sometimes I will hold something in my hand that makes me notice...

That sounds like my therapy session today. I kept going out and disconnecting. My therapist was trying to explain why that was happening so I could at least figure out the reason behind it. I understand the reason now...it was every time she asked me questions directly about my past. I guess I...
