    Relationship Husband Emotionally Detached, But Spending More Time With Girl "friend"

    I'm going to go ahead and say him spending time with her as friends should be perfectly, after all you don't want him to be alone except for you do you? The fact that you don't trust him enough to do this says a lot about the relationship though and your concern that he might in fact be...

    The Small Things In Life. What Makes You Happy?

    Today was a good day. Woke up not wanting to get out of bed just like every day of the past few weeks. Then I went for an awesome mountain bike adventure through the mountains, scouting out the route for an even awesome bike adventure I've wanted to do for a few years but havent known exactly...

    Assault Assaulted Teacher

    Some might view you that way, but most of that is in your own head, and even if some do, it is out of ignorance. Many people in life know what it means to be beaten down by life, and how hard it is, and have learned to respect that struggle when they witness it in others. Besides, you should...

    Sufferer Finally Diagnosed Complex Ptsd

    If your posts get moderated its usually less of a reprimand to you and more just an adjustment so others find them easier to read. Try not to worry about it too much and focus on saying what you need to say.

    Desire For Death

    I had never in my life seriously considered suicide before, when I was young I thought it would be a nice way to get back at my family and guilt them, but I didn't actually want to die. Then, a couple weeks after I quite smoking pot, all these painful emotions came up, and it just hurt SO BAD...

    Most Valuable Lessons

    Even though its not very long yet, this is probably my favorite thread on here already. Another good lesson my shrink told me, is to imagine how you would live if you weren't depressed or dealing with anxiety, and just start living that way. It will feel contrived forced and uncomfortable at...

    Cutting The Last Thread

    What stats are those? That seems like a bit of a stretch to me. I am open to admitting I am wrong though, abusive tendencies are built into some cultures more than others.

    Most Valuable Lessons

    Thats true, although I think there can be certain lessons that are most valuable at a certain time. One of the biggest for me is that safety and comfort aren't conducive to healing. They are desirable and tempting, avoiding pain seems like a good idea, but the only way for me to reduce my...

    Most Valuable Lessons

    Oh good idea for a thread. Lets see. First one that comes to mind is The world doesnt revolve around you. If other people do things, its most likely due to their issues and not as a response to you. This ties into what has already been said in this thread, but I also mean it a little...

    Hopefully the new owners tear it down and you get to sit across the street and have a beer while you watch the place get demolished.

    Oh you have no idea, the dogs go crazy. Most dogs get kind of scared but my last dog scared ME with the way he reacted, he got really excited, but didn't bark at all, just looked at me like, "why wont you let me kill it boss? Its my job to kill it you know" He was a great dog. I was lucky to of...

    Poll Have You Had Extreme/Over Reactions?

    I am proud to say I do not do this any more. I used to. Although I would hardly ever vocalize it I would overreact internally and stew about things. I'm proud to say now though, that I think I am actually more level headed than the vast majority of people. Thank you for helping me to remind...

    Said Goodbye

    I'm not judging her, but it was kind of unprofessional of her to show her emotions like that. Perhaps you should just take it as a compliment that you elicit that kind of positive emotional response from people. (even if she was sad its still a positive response to you). I wish I could, I don't...

    Inside Our Heads - What's Going On In The Therapy Room

    I'm going to take it a step further and say that for many therapists what they are often thinking are things like "I wish I was a better therapist, that bastard my father was right I'll never amount to anything" "I need to remain more objective about this and not feel like a failure if I...

    He Passed The Lie Detector Test

    I think my post had the opposite effect that I intended. I'm not a therapist after all. My point was, if you can't know, it isn't worth becoming mentally frantic and running yourself ragged over it, just trust what you know is true, and focus on where you are emotionally. Something happened to...

    He Passed The Lie Detector Test

    This doesnt really matter exactly, but just throwing it out there to make a point. Do you have any way of knowing for sure that he even took the test? Could they of just said he did?

    I agree, although it sure wouldn't hurt if she looked like that.
