These have been really helpful for me. And everyone thanks for the replies. I haven’t used a half a Xanax in so long and I forget about it. Like I said I’m on lexapro 15mg daily and it helps a lot for my anxiety but I still have anxiety (around dating) and I’m in therapy so I know I have more...

So I’ve recently opened a Pandora’s box of issues surrounding dating and the trauma behind it for me (dating in my family has always been a major issue and I’ve had my fair share of trauma from men and exes) It’s brought up a lot of different themes in life to connect it to. but when I’m in...

I’ve never dreamt of being raped. I’ve dreamt of having sex with men willingly, having sex with my ex (ewwww) and kissing men. I’ve even dreamt of being in a jail cell (I’ve never been involved in any illegal activity) But for the first time I’ve dreamt last night that I was being brutally...

That’s what I hope it is in my case. I really don’t wanna deal with this now. I just feel super emotional that my dentist I trusted with my life in that chair left. I have to drive 35 mins to see her now, I’ve known the other dentist ever since high school. He’s known mt whole family since the...

Well if it is infected , I have no idea. The dentist said it was an area to watch. It was on my scan 3 years ago but it was barely there. And now it’s showing up more on my scan. I have no symptoms and no pain. At first my dentist said to watch and see and wait for a year but then he changed his...

I don’t think I have to go back to him. I’m having no symptoms and no pain on the tooth so at first my dentist said we can wait and watch it. But then he changed his mind I guess. Waiting for the phone call from my dentists office is annoying.

I am soooo f*cking tired of this, like I am so so so so done. I am 28 years old and I wasn’t blessed with good teeth or hygiene I guess. I had braces and I was dumb and never took care of the hygiene part ( brushing and flossing is key to not get decalcifation on your teeth that can lead to...

My dad died when I was 14 from a major MI. It affected me deeply, I started getting anxiety. Idk if I had it before but his death reallt made it so noticeable. Being so close to death and seeing death especially with my dad made me so traumatized to even think about my own death and possibility...

So I’m back guys! I have been feeling great and my last EMDR session was a couple months back. It took me a while to get over the SI. I was embarrassed to have it and I was so scared when I told my therapist about it and of course we stopped EMDR treatment. But for me I really realized EMDR...

So I’m on lexapro and have been for a long time. It works fine. No complaints. Just weight gain but what can ya do. I asked my pcp for a prescription for Xanax because dentists scare me. I haven’t used Xanax since last year before a dentist appointment and I took half of .25mg. I’m just...

Well I have an update. I told her about this. We had a very VERY productive therapy session. Probably one of the best in a long time. I mean she totally knows what she’s doing and I felt so seen again. We dissected everything about why I felt that way, I actually said what I had to say, without...

I don’t think I can afford to think it over for more than a year. Maybe I can work out seeing her other week. But yeah.

Lol I am not doing that.

So if anyone’s been following my posts she mainly specializes in EMDR and I tried EMDR with her but I felt so bad after wards that I told her I don’t want to do EMDR anymore. And she’s changed a little. We decided to just do talk therapy for now. Last week I was starting my session talking...

No… you know what. What happened last week was actually pretty bad. Like I didn’t like how she just switched from my talk therapy to talking about finances and then she asked me do I want to continue talking , or do some guided meditation? I didn’t like the way she entered into the session...

So I understand my therapists focus is EMDR and I know she loves EMDR. I agreed to do that and work up to it, so we did a couple sessions about like 9-10 of them, just talking therapy, resourcing . Etc. I did the EMDR and it was too much for me, so much so I had SI thoughts. She’s trained in SI...

UMMM what your post is everything I needed to see and hear. And your right I shouldn’t use what I should be like as a tool to hurt myself. I just have a really negative mindset, I always have. And dare I say it I’ve never had a positive mindset modeled for me. So it’s foreign for me to try to...

I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude but I don’t understand what you’re saying.

Look it’s very layered. I think I’m not happy with my life and where I am right now. I want things to be different. I feel like she’s really codependent on me and she always has been since college. I feel like she leans on me too much for emotional support . I went through bad codependent...

If her car accident impacted her she would’ve told me. But then again she used to be really private with her feelings and at one point I used to think she has no feelings . She says she’s on Prozac for depression. And now that she’s on Prozac she is a lot more clingy and open with her emotions...

She is amazing. We do really click together and I know she’s excited to see me heal, whether that’s through EMDR or not. I know she’s ready either way. Even if I feel bad just talking to her really helps me. I don’t know if EMDR will ever be a good thing for me to do. But I feel safer knowing...

So I don’t wanna throw a pity party for me. I know life does suck it can be unfair it can be a bitch. I know I shouldn’t compare my life to my friends or anyone really. I’m me, I’m myself. Life is messy and ugly. Life can be beautiful. But I’m really starting to resent my best friend. I don’t...

Well I’ve been with this therapist for over 6 months (longer than with any other therapist) I really like her. But she’s only been practicing for 2 years under clinical supervision. Idk if that even matters but she … we did EMDR. Now I feel like a Guinea pig. She said she’s done about 4-5 people...

Yeah that’s how I feel too. Luckily didn’t lose any close during the pandemic. It’s more after the pandemic people in my family started getting sick. I feel like we have sorta forgotten what our old lives were like but then again we do kinda Rmbr. I feel like I’m straddling two worlds too. I’m...

Idk if we’re technically even out of a pandemic but it still feels like that in Georgia we have gotten over the pandemic. I feel likeduring the pandemic I was fine because I was laid off (that was a stressor) but I was living at home. On medication. And got to exercise everyday outside in the...
