1. There are too many fickle people occupying this earth. 2. Loyalty is still just a word, one with a number of definitions apparently. 3. It is ok that I am not ok with this, but I cannot expect or demand others to share my feelings about it. 4. Empty home means empty heart, I miss my...

That dang knot in the bottom of your stomach? That feels like it has fire flies buzzing out of it and radiating from it? Impending doom? Great description for it, cheers. Also known at times as 'oh wtf is wrong with you NOW you pain' Usually leads to some internal chatter that results in...

I think supporters ask that question too much sometimes. Talk about pressure. Maybe they expect us to be brimming with a thousand different emotions and are using the question to predict the next possible outburst haha. My husband be all 'how are you feeling?' I respond 'hmm hungry' He...

Haha. And this my friend is why we all in therapy ;)

I dont really tell anyone that it wont affect directly. When I was initially diagnosed, nobody except my therapists and kids Dad knew. This round, not much more than that. My kids are old enough now to discuss it with. My sister. My Mum. Thats it. I feel no need to share myself with...

Thinking of you Mal. Stay true to you lovely lady xx

Well then, I suggest you step outside your comfort zone and give us a shot. (sorry didn't even realise you've been here so long!) I was in therapy at your age, and definitely struggled with discussing my trauma also, in part because of shame, and in part because I was so young that I didn't...

Probably not. I did a group thing in my early 20's and was super self conscious. I just sat back and listened to everyone wallow in their own misery, frustrated that these people seemed to just want to complain and rarely brain storm solutions. I gained nothing from it at all except an...

What an ungrateful jackass. Who clearly wouldn't know responsibility and living within ones means if it bit him on the butt. You owe no one anything except you. And you rely on no one for anything, you are completely self sufficient. Thats pretty bloody admirable in my book. Advice from...

I think you could easily be forgiven for feeling that way, and if you still feel the same once he arrives then I hope you can do it with a clear conscience. You've battled pretty hard. Wish we could all come over with flowers and chocolates, cuddles and support for you. Hope you know we are...

You're pretty articulate and 'open' for a teenager in general, let alone one with adhd. Its hard enough for me as an adult to wrap my head around the work I need to do on my ptsd, let alone with adhd detracting your focus. Keep talking here, you'll be amazed at how effortlessly it will all...

How old are you?

Yes. Wise advice sonic. People who use that stuff become souless.

Wow @Muse, some of that was DEEP, my daughter would LOVEa chat with you. I think I.will.need to read it a.couple times to absorb

Wow. That guy is seriously needy. I always thought this was a chick thing, but I had a Similar situation occur here a while back. One date, one single peck kiss and a hug on the beach and this bloke.was sending me expensive gifts, talking about me meeting his kids (a big no no here, we never...

If the behaviour only occurred around your father as you seem to be suggesting I would speculate anxiety. (they say that all anxiety stems from the bodies instinctive flight or fight response, pretty natural given the nature of your relationship with him) Anxiety would have been completely...

Oh, and I would use magic mice to clean under my bed, and sort my junk drawers, which was originally just one draw, think I'm getting close to fifth, maybe sixth now

Do you like cats? The area I live in is prone to mice and rats badly. In almost 6 years here,only ever 1 in the house, and it was one my cat bought in to play with. Cats are the best mouse traps.

Train.

Do they have resources where you are for helping women relocate and start again after leaving? I wonder would it be useful to gather as much info (pamphlets etc) on the options available to her in your area and just handing them to her one day. I know it probably wont help, a lot choose to...

It can sometimes just be outdated coping mechanisms that cause the irrational bullying behaviour. I wouldn't say I picked on my husband in the manner you describe exactly, but I kept him at arms lengths from my heart by always looking for something wrong with him. Every few days I would...

How long did you use meth for to get to that state @sonicwhite if you don't mind me asking? Do you think you may have already had the ability to be quite paranoid in you before your drug use? Dont feel like you have to answer, I'm just curious. It seems to affect everyone differently...

I like that you encourage your kids to defend themselves btw. I'd almost forgotten old school values. The modern world sucks at times.

Do the house rules apply to adults also @FridayJones?

Its alright to feel sorry for yourself at times too. Its really all on you, now you have control of your own fate, what will it be? Crap therapists? I have met those who didn't talk the way I need to be talk to, we didn't connect or whatever. I have not met one I would call crap though. It...
