For me, its kind of a bit of both because the past has greatly affected my present in immense way but present happenings that remind of things that have gone on in the past cause me to feel suicidal. Its the feeling of things will never change or im stuck and I'll never get out of this sh*t...

Wow. I'm sorry about what you went through with your mom :/ I can relate in so many ways and i wish I could articulate my thoughts properly but after reading your response and contemplating what you and Eve have said, I haven't been able to sleep. Its like a whole new door has been opened. I'm...

Can you elaborate a little more on what you mean by genetics playing a role and in utero trauma?

Yeah I agree with you and you make a good point. I think its easy to get caught up in feeling like the only one sometimes when you are hurting and I come from a family where no one talks about anything and thats not how I operate but a lot of the response here have opened my eyes up to a...

A year ago, the first day I was going to drive myself to college on my motorcycle, I got in a horrible crash that resulted in the loss and replacement of a body part. I stopped driving myself for a long long time afterwards but today, today I got back on and drove myself to school safely. I...

Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. I meet with a potential therapist later this week and am hoping to reach some kind of breakthrough. Its hard knowing that youre the only one who can get yourself out of it when you don't know how. But at least we're going through it together. Sending kindness...

The fatigue and aches. Literally have had no energy to even clean my house or do my hair. My sister had to deep clean everything because I just didn't have it in me to do it. It took everything in me to take a shower yesterday. The over and under eating. The sleep disturbances. The sadness, the...

Baby goats eating! And watching my Russian box turtle stretch out and fall asleep under her basking light

I go through this sometimes as well. One night I was so afraid of someone breaking into my apartment that I went to sleep and had a terrifying lucid nightmare about someone breaking in and harming me;woke up sweating and screaming and the only thing that calmed me was calling my sister at all...

Hi, I'm sorry about everything you go through. It truly is possible to repress things like that for years, and I know how scary it can be to process all of your feelings and past trauma when it begins to surface. I dont know if this will help or not, but my advice would be to keep seeing your...
