It's good to know I'm not the only person thinking/feeling these things. It brings up intense anger for me. :confused:

... I will definitely check it out

You hit something that I was thinking of on the nose! Went to see a T for the first time last month. I left the office completely out of sorts, like I'd driven straight into a brick wall. I'm hoping that that won't be a continuous pattern. If so, I don't think that I can handle it. I left...

@Kailani Had to laugh at myself this evening when I pulled this tea out of my cupboard. I thought Kava sounded familiar... Love this tea!

@GrayOwl Thank you for the reminder. In fact, plans went sideways with my work schedule today, so I think I will take the afternoon to myself. It's hard sometimes to just slow down, but it's healthy. Honestly, I'm sort of in a "screw it" mood at this point. @Kailani I like things that taste...

Anxiety, for no apparent reason and feeling of impending doom. I'm sick with it! How do you deal? I wish I could just shake it....

Definitely inappropriate. Sounds like a parent-child role reversal. I can relate, not to the physical part so much though.

Thank you for sharing! Thought provoking... Sometimes it's hard to make sense of my feelings and reactions. It's nice when someone can "get it."

Welcome! I recently joined as well, and it has been immensely helpful. I hope that it is for you too. :)

@brat17 I can definitely relate to what you are saying, and am thankful that you are sharing your own experience. It is helpful. @Nevermore Yes! I'm afraid of losing my crap (for lack of better words). I have a baby boy, and I'm careful to do my best not to transfer my anxiety and things on...

I'm new to this whole deal. After years of trauma left unprocessed, I've decided that it's time to go for it. I've met with the therapist once, and really struggled with mixed emotions following the first encounter. Introvert, that's one of my first hurdles, but not my biggest. For years I have...

Thank you Hope69! I'm trying not to think of the possible financial piece that goes along with therapy, but it's unavoidable. That has been one of my hang-ups. And part of why it has taken me a while to come around to it.

This coming week I'll be attending my first therapy session. It's a little weird to think about, considering my profession as a social worker, and that many of my colleagues are therapists. Honestly, I'm petrified. I have experienced significant trauma, and grew up with a parent who was...
