I'm sorry. You are loved. As a person you matter and you deserve love, if from no one else then you have love from me. Everyone is worth caring about so know that you are cared for and this will get better. Opening up is hard as is leaving a crappy relationship. You are in a crappy relationship...

Oh yeah, I can feel relaxed while I'm doing things. That's how I do it too. My therapist wants me to feel ok while being still in a quiet room with my eyes closed.

My therapist wants me to work on really relaxing. He says when I relax that I'm not really every relaxed ... or not like people who don't have trauma. I don't like the relaxation techniques. I don't like feeling like I'm not aware of the room. I feel like I actually hear more when I'm trying to...

I guess I was trying to say that you may need structure but do you need structure that looks like the average person's? Maybe you can find your own rhythm and still get the same benefits. Perhaps it's the particular schedule you hate and not the actual structure?

Disclaimer: Here is my opinion and anyone with a different opinion is respected by me :) I am not saying i have the 100% correct answer, just some thoughts. I do not believe men need sex and I have never read a paper stating a biological need. The sperm will die and be absorbed by the body. The...

I wasn't watched very well as a child either and had a lot of freedom. I also HATE a schedule. I have found a middle ground. I write out what I need to do for the week at work or around the house. Then I assign days to the things and whether or not they are in the morning or afternoon. As long...

I do sales from home. I still have to go out and meet with people but I set the schedule and I don't have to bother with people like in an office. I don't tell anyone about my issues. There are different ways to go about it, but it's got a stigma of being unable to handle things and dangerous...

When I "space out" I pick right back up at what I was doing before I stopped. So, in my email example, I will be typing then apparently I stop for a period of time but at some point I just continue typing. I don't even notice the pause and I don't have to think to get back to what I was doing...

I am not always on the computer. I have decided to set an alarm for every hour during the day and see if I can tell if/when it's happening.

I'm not on meds except Xanax for random panic attacks. The doctor that gave me that script won't let me keep it without a neurological eval. So, I do have one of those soon.

I was just concerned because I don't think i move at all. Also, I pick up like nothing happened. If I don't notice a clock, then I don't know For example, I'm typing and think it's normal. Really, I've typed 3 sentences in the last hour or so.

That's good to know. Google was not helpful lol

I can go to do something and realize an hour or more had passed without me knowing. The thing is, I don't appear to have moved the while time. I have no memory of the time. It can happen at my desk or any where I'm alone (I work from home). I assume this is dissacociation but does anyone else...

Thanks! That was helpful. I think I'm going to hold off on meds for now.

Sorry for my slow response but than you to everyone. I was overwhelmed this week and had to break from discussions to keep everything under control. I really appreciate all of the help here. I am working on things with my family.

Thank you. I think I'm just off on what is okay for me to ask for. I will have to figure that out as I go I guess. I have this written down so I can talk with my therapist on it tonight. My boyfriend is leaving work a little early today to sit with my kids so I don't have to take them to my...

I am going to not do meds for now. I did have an MRI this morning because my regular doctor wants to rule out any physical medical reason that may have caused my new stress and anxiety - meaning MS or a tumor. I'm not really worried about that though. As long as that comes back as expected, I...

To put your mind at ease, my son is getting paid. My dad is supportive with money when it's needed and pays the grand kids. I am going to have to back up from them some and see if we can't renegotiate the relationships. Also, mourning my parents might be helpful. The other piece to this - I...

I have been having trouble for close to a year now. It started slowly and I asked my family for help. I felt like I just needed simple things, like their presence. I did ask for help with house work at times because it just became an overload and felt like someone helping me organize would get...

I don't know where this post would go. It's not REALLY and accomplishment but I wanted to say it anyway. I cried today. This is not a thing, I'm a crier lol. But it was because I have been reading though posts on here and I share so much with everyone. It was just awesome to see that some of...

My ex and i have been divorced for almost 10 years. He still finds every way he can to mess with my life. It's terrible. Certain times have made me feel like i am being physically attacked again. However, now he gets to use our messed up Court system to drain my emotions and finances. The best...

Right now I'm having issue and I can't even sleep in my room. But I'm a no door person. I want to be able to get out more than sorry about keeping people out. I took my closet doors off a little while back too. I have been sleeping in the living room, which has two open door ways and two...

Thanks everyone. I will just have to figure out what boundaries I need right now and tell them.

That is a good idea. It's just hard right now. My current "hurdle" is the desire to even get past all of this. I feel like rebuilding to go back to a life that I couldn't handle in the first place is dumb. With that feeling, the idea of losing the connection with the people around me is scary...

I am a little worried about your second point. I know the wrong meds can make things worse. Right now, something effecting me negatively may be a VERY negative situation. I am not really depressed at the moment. I have thought about getting in my car and leaving for a new life on an island, but...
