Thanks for your response. I’ve thought about this a good deal today. I’ve considered the points you have outlined and I think acceptance is best. I think there are limits to what “Jane Doe” (not her real name) could accept. Might never know and I don’t want to risk finding out...

That makes sense. Space is likely best. I think only discussing “safe” subjects may be the best way forward. I think I will be setting myself up for disappointment if I expect her to hear me in certain ways. Some subjects I should just keep to my therapist.

My best friend of eight years is driving me crazy....LOL....or maybe I’m really driving myself crazy. I suspect the latter is likely. After grappling with this for awhile, I think her “mommie issues” and my “mommie issues” are colliding. I have choices. If I cut her out of my life...

Yep. I don’t understand it either. What is the supporter getting from a situation like that?

Slept great...LOL...just the usual nightmares that someone was trying to kill me...

I had a great time last night… LOL. I kept dreaming that I was fighting off intruders, a gang of which had shown up to rape me. Gosh, I just love my dreams…I mean nightmares. Now I’m having an anxiety attack and I’m trying to calm down. I texted a friend a text my therapist. Guess I’ll get over...

He, he, he....whenever I try to use weapons in dreams/nightmares, they turn into water guns or knives of rubber....oh, well. Been listening to hypnosis to fall asleep...things have been getting better. Stuff like “meet spirit guides” and “meet your sacred self,” ...that type of thing. I...

@Sweetleaf. Thanks very much! I especially like the idea of spinning around 180 degrees. Will try!

This is a great thread, BTW. Ah, sleep. Should I laugh or cry? Jesus.....just woke up from dreaming there was an axe-murderer prowling around in my home, then a Buddhist monk shaved my head....okay! The monk wasn’t a problem, but that axe-murderer did worry me a bit... Then the dream...

Sorry to hear that. I’m going to hit the hay really early, hoping to wake up at an obscenely early hour and get some things done around my place. Gonna take my OTC melatonin to knock myself out. Had so many crazy nightmares last night.....being stuck at an airport and lost, then some...

:(This sleep topic is a doozy, isn’t it? If I have two nights a year without nightmares, it feels like a miracle and I wake up feeling so happy. I hope your sleep gets better. Wish I had some healing words that would do more.....for all of us.

That sounds cool! Hmmm....ladder out or flying.....this gives me ideas about how I can help myself with the technique your therapist suggested. Thanks a ton for posting that!

All in all, it sounds like the two hour session was productive in a lot of ways. Congratulations, and good for you! You tried it and he found out what you like and what you didn’t like. Hopefully, this will give you some beneficial insights about what you are comfortable with and what works for...

I love two-hour sessions. They have become the norm for me. If you need to shoot the $hit for awhile to get comfortable, then do you really have anything to lose by requesting a two-hour sesh? Best of luck on this.

Thanks for the responses. I was really ...um...ticked and frustrated earlier. Hmm....guess it showed. LOL.

:confused: WARNING....BIG VENT/RANT BELOW Right now, I feel frustrated and angry at my few friends. The short form is I’ve changed and they ain’t. Got no time for that. I see them as relics, dinosaurs, a collective albatross around my neck. Unkind words, I know. So what...

I think I can relate....at my age, too, my patience is thin and no more time or energy for draining people. I e asked myself the same thing you mentioned about wanting to know if one is a magnet for people with “issues.” I don’t have anyone other than my therapist to whom I can speak...

Okay....just let me clarify a bit. I have not listed any ED websites on this website. I have not given out any information about who I am or profile names on ED-related sites on here. I wish everyone the best, and I must please ask that no one PM me about ED related anything even if you are...

I sleep now. Have a good night. Thanks for “listening.”

Yep. The media loves the scare tactics of frightening parents....it’s very effective for ratings. However, being an adult of more than a couple of decades.....the media can jump off a cliff as far as its beloved fearmongering. I am determined to find someone to help me with accountability...

I do not know of a group that is “the group that promotes anorexia.” ProAna is interpreted in different ways. Some people label it as promoting pathology. Some see it as trying to strike a balance between reasonable health for people for whom traditional recovery does not work. There’s an...

Yeah...you get it! Sorry you’ve been through that, but thank you for sharing that and for your understanding. Thanks!

Thank you for asking. Regressing.....no. How can one regress if one has never really recovered? I am full-blown ProAna and I am actively in a serious restricting mode and am scouring the internet for places where I can find consistent help. I don’t believe in recovery from this any...

Buddies...I wish I could be that positive Thanks for asking. Just concerned that my post might have been triggering in some way or inappropriate to the OP.
