    Therapist a no show!

    I am waiting for my therapist! There is no word of her or from her. I texted her to see if we are still meeting and I have heard nothing. My appointment was scheduled 26 minutes ago according to my text she sent 2 weeks ago! We usually meet an hour later than she said she scheduled. I don't know...

    Memory or flashback?

    I guess I am just on that line. Strange how our brains work..completely relive some horrific events and block out others....and then I have one recurring trauma (it happened nightly for years) I can remember up to a certain point and then it is like it "blacks itself out". I do not remember when...

I feel like everywhere I go be it cyber or the real world I am constantly offending people...I know an apology is said to not be needed...but I don't know how else to right a wrong. So to the people in the other thread who felt like I overstepped them I really truly am...

    Virtual online gathering for christmas day here....

    I wish I could be at home for Christmas and just be me and my immediate family..but no. I have to GO to a few different houses and see lots of people. So I may isolate myself to a corner and enter cyberworld on Christmas day.

    Virtual online gathering for christmas day here....

    I am sorry too. May I ask for clarification? Are you just wanting people to hop on and like say, "I am here and lonely" on Christmas and others to just say "yes, I am too." Is this the kind of support you were hoping to receive? I think sometimes imagination can be healing too. It can help to...

    If I Was Living The Life I Wanted To Right Now I Would Be.......

    I would be an elementary phys ed. Teacher, with a healthy body and lifestyle. I would be married to a well to do individual so we would be paying someone to clean the house and do the landscaping. I would do the cooking though and have a dishwasher machine. We would have an indoor heated pool...

    Learning true friendship

    Through a series of unfortunate events, many depressive episodes, and ptsd at it's worse I came to learn the meaning of true friendship...those who judged, criticised ( in none constructive ways), or otherwise shamed, bullied, deserted, and abandon me were never my true friends. Thankfully...

    Memory or flashback?

    I am not sure where to post this. Having a memory...I was trying to hide...by sleeping in a bathtub instead of my bed as a child. It feels flashback like. In it I am terrified...but nothing "bad" happens. Bizarre that I chose a bath tub to hide in...because I didn't want to be found in my bed...

    Other Ptsd & psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (pnes)

    Thanks for this post. I have had bad seizure like dissociation. I've also fainted, came to with a hole in my tongue, been disoriented, etc. I was put on wellbutrin which can increase seizures in those with a history of seizure. I had a lot of symptoms minus loss of bowel control so my doctors...

    What?

    Thoughts of "I wish I had went through with it when I was a teen." "I can't now because I have children who need me". I wish there was a way to eliminate my "parts", but leave the "me" that functions as Mother alive. Also realizing what I want is just to stop feeling this way. I know this is...
