Omelette turkey bacon and hazelnut cappuccino. best cup of cappuccino I've had in a while.

@Tornadic Thoughts - Right on!!! You're so kind. Thank you so much @ladee - Hahaha thank you!! Feeling special. @Bearlinda - Thank you :)

I just want to thank you all for being a source of support, community, and recovery. I'm not sure I would've made it this far if it hadn't been for this site and some of the wonderful people who've reached out to me. It's been a really rough last few days but I'm grateful that I can come here...

Fried fish and kale/veggies.

Say it again. Sheesh.

You know you have PTSD when.. You thousand yard stare through out the day.

Chicken wings and Mac and cheese with a kiwi Snapple for lunch. No dinner, although I wish I had some fresh fruit. All the stuff you guys are eating sounds so good!

This is the best one. Hands down

Thanks for the advice. It's tough to hear but I know I have a bad habit of doing this. I get frustrated and defeated and want to shut down. Gonna try to hang in there. It's a lot to think about for sure.

This is really really great advice. I don't think I've ever sat down and asked myself those questions, I have just felt like something is not quite right and an overwhelming sense of stagnation. So I'm going to do some introspection, and look into different modalities as you've suggested...

Hey thanks for your subjective feedback and personal perspective it really helps. Maybe you're right in a lot of ways I do feel like I have lost a little trust and I could be projecting my own feelings of "I'm letting her down/wasting her time with constant setbacks" but I do feel like the way...

This is really interesting input.

Yes, she deals with PTSD however she doesn't always act like she's well versed in it. Sometimes she takes more of a counselor approach. If that makes sense.

Ahhhh man. Thank you SO much for this. As obvious as that statement is I've never ever thought about it like that! I really needed that perspective and thanks for the resource it's really opened my mind to other options. You be well also!

Perhaps. And thanks for the fresh perspective. Sometimes though I feel like she pushes me to do things that are not realistic for me or that will be met with harsh consequences in my waking life. But idk maybe it's me. Maybe my expectations are out of wack.

She uses functional analysis, cognitive restructuring and unraveling cognitive distortions (among others I assume). But sometimes certain things are overlooked such as telling her about my nightmares/depression. Sometimes those things are written off. Or she'll resort to saying "well your...

... Yeah that's what I was thinking as well. I guess it's just dreading having to dig through pain and trauma and exercise self disclosure all over again with someone new.

I've been with the same therapist for about 2 going on 3 years now doing CBT work. However I often have periods during treatment where I feel like nothing is working anymore and I ditch/ignore her until things get bad again. So I feel that I'm never getting better. Although I have made some...

I too experience seemingly unwarranted and overwhelming guilt and remorse but am never sure where it's coming from or why. Could it be locked away in our subconscious?

I'm in a similar situation where I am still continuously dealing with emotional abuse and come from a past of abuse generally, my partner is coming in a few months to visit and I have not told them about the "horrors" of my life in full details. My therapist has advised me not to discuss it with...

Really good pick! Maybe watch it with a buddy in case it gets too rough :)

"Life itself will fade away Drifting farther everyday Getting lost within myself Nothing matters no one else I have lost the will to live Simply nothing more to give There is nothing here for me Need the end to set me free Things not what they used to be Missing one inside of me.." Fade to...

"Never cared for what they do Never cared for what they know But I know" LOVE this song!

Nice.

Ugh man yeah. Such a good one! Another favorite is from "one" "Darkness Imprisoning me All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die Trapped in myself Body my holding cell.." Keep sharing!
