    I'm Not Sure What To Do Or How To Feel

    Absolutely Mim - like every word you said I can relate to and going through right now 100% - I feel so helpless and out of my own control and that all my dreams and strength I used to hold so dear for my survival are shattered and now what do I have left to turn or hold onto? Trying to not end...

    Symptom Free For A Week!

    That's so amazing - I think it's permanent for me (my T and Doc even said it, but I refuse to believe it or allow it to sink in as fact), which is so depressing for me to imagine/accept - so was great to read your post - give me a glimmer of hope I may or can be symptom free too for a week, at...

    Complicated Relationship With Abuser, My Mom.

    My mother and later the woman I married and had kids with was a sociopath - my sister I think learned or was predisposed for narcissism, my Dad is likely narcassist as well (all this comes from my T, trauma specialist not just me throwing labels around to make myself seem like a victim of...

    Childhood Self Image And Childhood Trauma

    I know what you mean - even tho I'm aware that it was wrong (the abuse as a child and criticisms and lack of empathy support or lack of 'building confidence' as every child needs - still to this day, every day, shapes my view of how others see me, how I see myself - even when I know I'm an over...

    Imagine

    Your absolutely right.. I can't believe how every post I'm reading is a facet of myself - I can't believe others are able to describe exactly how I feel or what I go through and all the shit that scares me to death every minute of every day, others are right there with me just no where in...

While homeless at 15 I caught her at her home (shortly before moving away without telling me or leaving...
