    Therapist Says I Have Mad Coping Skills, Rest Of World Disagrees?

    I hate it when therapists tell me how great I am at coping. it is like saying WOW you survived HELL! Curious! It is like a backhanded compliment with a bit of voyeurism. No one should even have to have such great coping skills that people are like "What a marvel"

    Everyone Says There's Help But Where Is It???

    That is very true. I had to get a Pro Bono therapist. There are pro bono networks. I was at the end of my rope. She saved my life. But what I went thru to get to her was in itself traumatic. I was kicked out of two therapists' office AFTER they let me in because front desk knocked on door "Her...

    Dom Violence My Family Doesn't Believe Me

    Hi- I am glad you are here and KNOW what happened to you! It does not really matter if you get punch. It does not help people to think it is real.

    Paralysis After Panic Attack

    You are a great man to be so loving and patient to a woman who has suffered so much! Believe me, not all of us have nice partners. Many of us have been beaten by partners who could not understand our PTSD. That being said, yes a Dr would be a good idea! And also a joint session with the...

    Suicide Line Chewed Me Out----but I Feel Better

    Yes I did. He had a terrible temper but he was not a psycopath. After what I had been thru with "The Abuse" (early psychopathic ) this guy seemed to be a dream.

    I called the local line today. The lady knew me so she was mad. She started to chew me out about how I am not telling anyone that I am in need etc. "How can they HELP YOU if you don't ASK FOR HELP?" Yelling and talking over me. She has no idea the depth of my suffering and how people run...
