Fear of intimacy might be one part of it, but another explanation could be that he craves the chaos. He may be craving the stress and anxiety from his old work environment and be finding it in his romantic relationships.

I also do not think that it sounds like anemia, but I am glad that your doctor is sending you back for the missing test. That sounds like a good option for your free test.

I got the letter this morning before the news even made it to my lawyer. My hearing was only at the beginning of the month, so I was bracing myself for a rejection because it arrived so quickly. It is almost exactly a year since I applied, and there was nothing about them wanting a continuing...

I would wait for more information. Low hemoglobin is anemia not high. Low MCH levels is a sign that you could have anemia or be at risk for anemia, but it isn't one of the parts of your CBC that gives a lot of information. How low is your MCH?

I'm almost finished with The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley. The plot description reminded me of Agatha Christie, which is what had me wanting to read it. Maybe there will be a twist in the last few pages that will change my opinion, but I don't think I liked it much.

They probably can't tell you if someone has made a complaint before you did, but it semes unlikely to me that they would jump right to no longer allowing him to teach based just on what you said here, even though I agree that his behavior was inappropriate. Your complaint may just have been the...

Liheap has tons of different utility programs. https://www.benefits.gov/benefit/623 Once you get on disability, your congressperson will be able to help you get your first check more quickly if you run into delays. If you are at risk for homelessness, the SOAR Program is very helpful in...

Your state representative's office is a good place to start. They should have information about energy bill assistance programs for your area. You can also contact your power company to find out if they have any programs. Another thing to ask about is property tax exemptions. Since you're a...

What country are you in?

Journalling is how I do it. One thing that I do is that I occasionally have a page or two designated for little notes about what I want to talk about with my therapist and other members of my care team. It keeps me from having to dig through it all to find things, espescially because I don't...

My care has never been coordinated well enough for me to have a diagnosis follow me anywhere. My first psychiatrist used to change my diagnosis slightly at every appointment, but she did give me a print out with what they happened to be that day. My therapist at the time explained my PTSD...

It is understandable for you to have that reaction. She has trained you to defend her by having you associate not doing it with her punishing you. I think this is something that would be a good idea to work on while you are considering divorce. You are able to take care of the medical needs of...

Even though my father is much more directly involved in my traumatic events, I am angrier at my mother because my dad seems to be sorrier.

As far as possibly looking for a new therapist in the future, in my experience people will put more value in what people that have treated you for a long period of time say instead of hospital records or other records from someone that only treated you for a short time.

Are you still in couple's therapy? If you are, that would be a safe place to tell her after you've made arrangements. You could also ask your therapist to come to the session.

When I was in my old therapist's waiting room, a child during their session slapped my therapist in the face. After I got over the shock of there suddenly being a lot more yelling coming from upstairs without any explanation, it occured to me that nothing I could do could be more shocking...

I would be seriously concerned about any EMDR therapist that is offering to help you discover forgotten trauma. It is possible that it might eventually be a result of treatment and it wouldn't be out of the ordinary for forgotten details to emerge, but it is not an appropriate goal to go looking...

Are you currently seeing and EMDR therapist? If you are, they should be trained in other forms of therapy. Also, it can be helpful for people with anxiety or an addiction. If you are not, I don't think you need to leave this therapist for a different one. You might be getting a little too ahead...

Sending the e-mail will not be as bad as the stress you're feeling about sending the e-mail. I use the expression "like ripping a band-aid off" all the time with myself when I'm dreading something. Once it is done, you can do something else and try to put this out of your mind until you go to...

If you're thinking about getting a lawyer, get one that helps with the Adult Function forms. I haven't completely finished the process, but the Adult Function form was the hardest part for me, because it's where you explain why you can't quit the job you have and find one that you could do. If...

Fantastic informed consent form!

If you have access to the individual articles, you can get to it that way. If you have access to them once they're in a volume, you gotta wait.

Just in case anyone else decides to go looking for the article, it's not in the most recent volume of the journal. I'm guessing it is going to be in the next one. It's one of those OnlineFirst ones.

Personally, I would consider that to be sexual assault. It might be a good idea to work through this with a therapist. From your description, it sounds like you should have been able to expect your boyfriend to stop having sex with you and choking you based on what you said to him. If you are...

I live in one of the states in the US that have expanded medical assistance, which has been great. I qualify for an additional mental health program, which makes everything a lot easier. I never really thought about why I always avoided going to the public assistance office. It seems reasonable...
