    I feel like i need help

    I feel overwhelmed and emotions are strong causing me tension and anxiety and fear. I am scared. I am tired. I want to wrap myself up in a blanket and hide myself from life and this world and people unless they are loving. I am having an extremely strong existential fear for this world. My...

    Is it ok not to have friends?

    She sounds like the kind of gal that sees a nice patient person who kindly listens to people and their stories but doesn't gossip and she's taking advantage of this nice person, YOU. She's toxic. Stand up for yourself, don't let her get away with her manipulative shenanigans and stay the hell...

    Struggling with emdr

    I am doing EMDR too. I am also having a very hard time tapping into my emotions as well. I am in a place in my life where i am way too much in my head and overanalysing and ruminating about how my life has gotten to where i am now and I am somewhat resistant when it comes to self care and...

    Other Ex-cult member/ childhood abuse

    just a side thought. This cult put these particular problems in our face all the time! So instead of being concerned with our immediate lives in this world, they made us aware of every awful problem in this world supposedly occurring all the time around us. How am I supposed to deal with the...

    Other Ex-cult member/ childhood abuse

    I feel like I sound so desperate but don't mean to sound this way. I guess you can say I tried to use the cult to heal myself from anything wrong I aquired from growing up in a weird family but eventually discovered the cult was just as dysfunctional but it didn't seem like it was dysfunctional...

    Your responsibility

    I loved your entire post and can relate to most of it. You are a fighter! <3 Keeping down out of spite and feeling like shit and feeling like I don't deserve, can definitely relate to all that and now trying to rise above it and work through all the anger.

    Resilience

    This os something I am noticing lacking in ppl's recovery. Some of us have such a strong resilience we can get through anything! But sometimes this resilience sucks so bad because we don't want to have to be strong and resilient all the time to get through everything. It means sometimes, we have...

    Your responsibility

    F#ck yeah to everything you said cuz I can relate to it all. Thanx You are totally right about everything you said and I get it but at the same time, I don't get it, because I did all those things from a very young age in my life, maybe five years old, watching both my parents and the path they...

I took this personally and am still overcome it. She hurtfecr me me very badly! i am still trying to rise above it...

    Your responsibility

    Yes. And people who have grown up with that needed support for their development, somewhat get it. They had the needed support they needed from their parents or support group to get through through their painful experience

    Your responsibility

    So Ok. There are opinions out there from different sides and that's Ok. There is this one huge opinion amongst people that we are responsible for our own happiness and to an extent, I agree. Yes. But the other part of this opinion is an abuser hurts you very badly, in childhood or adulthood and...

    My therapist is a sociopath and he doesn't help me

    What's he doing in his position then?! Can you have him removed?! Or report him? Maybe you're not the only one and he's had other complaints This happens sometimes and it's because unhealed or dysfunctional people end up in positions of processional careers they shouldn't. Unfortunately

    If You Could Do One Crazy Thing Today What Would It Be ?

    I would leave the religious cult with dignity and a sense of freedom and excitement to pursue whatever I wanna. And I would say f#%k you!!! - to all the abusers. And I would become a surfer chick, meet tons of awesome people, promote healing of self, others and our earth. And I would develope...
