After my first art therapy session, I am looking forward to Friday's session, as I am able to express myself, in a new and unique way that screams me.

Under a flash freeze and windchill warning, from Environment Canada, and the local board of health has issued a severe cold alert, as the windchill is suppose to reach -30s C to -40s C, today. Have cancelled plans for my art therapy session, for today.

@Abstract , we all deal with our PTSD, at different speeds and ways. What is right for me, may be wrong for you. Please be gentle on yourself, as you walk your path of healing. Am feeling anxious and scared, about my upcoming first art therapy session, this afternoon. Finding it hard to...

Hard to believe that January 2, 2014, marked my 1097th day, since my last suicide attempt, for me. A whole three years plus, I have manage to keep myself, above this dark impulse of mine. And almost three years, since my last black depression, which triggers my suicide attempt.

This morning, I phoned my doctor's office and rescheduled my psychiatrist appointment from January 13th, to Januaryt 27th, at 11 am. Now the waiting begins.

Thank you, @Britt.f7 . I told her, about my trigger surrounding large crowds, and they are willing to work with me, to find solution, around this.

Feeling mentally and physically exhuasted, after my introductry meeting for the art therapy group, this afternoon. Just want to flake out, but I can't, as I have things that need to be done, first. Also feeling very vulnerable anxious, after opening up, in a way, I haven't done before, to...

This afternoon, I had an introductry meeting with the co-ordinator of the art therapy group that lasted for an hour, in which, during the meeting, I was crying, stuttering and fought back an anxiety attack, as I talked about my past. And yes, read two of my poems, with her that I had just...

Yes, @DMerish that's one way of expressing it politely. And yes, you do make sense, in your explanation, Drew. Thank you, @Overcast and @Tympre . Normally, I am, "a glass half-full", when dealing with events, like this, but yesterday, I let my fear of being rejected, again, because they might...

Having lived, on both sides of the gender equation, as a transwoman, I think that males are more expressive, in a physical way, how they display their reaction to abuse, in their use of violence against others. For two of my own abusers (schoolyard bullies) came from abusive homes, which their...

Am sorry, but today has been a very rough day for me, emotionally. Will respond tomorrow, when I am, more control of my swinging emotions. I hate "yo-yo"ing like this.

Thank you, @Britt.f7 .

Thank you, @TwoDee2ThreeDee . I will. Am feeling guilty, because I have food (and litter) for myself and my cats, and there are people in my apartment who are without, due to the power failure from last week's ice storm. Feel angry at myself, for giving only two boxes of Mac and Cheese and a 7...

Am angry at myself, for getting so anxious that I am bordering, an anxiety attack, over my latest good news, about therapy treatments, I have fought for and will be getting.

I find my anxiety levels spiking to near uncontrollable levels, approaching an anxiety attack level, for me, upon receiving the latest positive news for clinical help, in dealing with my various anxiety and stress related issues. Like I am waiting, for the other shoe to drop, telling me, I am a...

Got great news to share, I have an appointment with the stuttering clinic for February 27th, at 1:15pm, which safely avoids any possibility of having to deal with rush hour. Am doing my happy dance, right now!!!

Nighttime has always been my hardest time of the day, despite the fact, my abuse, whether by a family member or a "friend" happened during the day. Guess, being an "night owl", it has worsen the impact of the physical and psychological abuse, I have faced for most of my life. Over the past seven...

I understand, @digger1 , as a childhood abuse survivor, myself (Oh crap, this is the first time, I can say survivor and really mean it.) Thank you, Digger, for helping me, achieve this stage of healing.

Sometimes, when I am feeling like I am gaining ground, on my mental health problems. I dream, of being able to do things that I could do, before my August 2007 panic attack, which triggered my latest bout of flashback. It's the undiscovered country, for me, to quote General Kang, from Star Trek...
