Wow! Good for you for taking such a big step. Excited for you and hope that it is everything you need and very helpful.

Wow! That is impressive. Way to take your power back and speak up.

Happy Birthday!

So sorry that you are struggling so at the moment. Glad that you are committing to not ending it all though. I totally get it...sometimes that seems the only "logical" solution. I hope that you can hang on and find some coping skills that help you get through the crap. Take sweet care of...

Not dumb, the unknown and things beyond our "control" are scary. would it help to ask pharmacist or dr. questions?

I am so sorry that this box of stuff has stirred things up. Great job though on realizing that you need/want to be in the present. What are some things that have helped before? Sometimes for me stepping outside to feel the cold, picking up some snow is enough to at least temporarily jolt me...

wow...so sorry to hear that...hoping the injection gives you some relief.

Welcome. Well done for reaching out and sharing. It is super hard when those ways we have defended ourselves and whose walls we have put up get knocked down, but that is part of the healing journey. I hope that you find support and community here,

Welcome. I hope you find the support you need/want here.

There are so many other ways for you to reach out to his family, especially a few weeks down the line when others start to drop off. Write a note of memories of him, what he meant to you, etc. It is ok to care for you.

So sorry that you are struggling so. Glad that you are reaching out. Keep talking. we are here to hear you.

I am so sorry that was his response. I understand how that must hurt. I think at this point just concentrate on getting yourself to this inpatient stay and take care of you. It sucks, but I have learned I cannot expect others to understand. I so hope that this is a great experience for you...

That sounds so scary! I think it only human nature for you to try to help. I hope that he will stay and get some help. Most important at this point I think is to make sure you are safe. Praying for some peace and some sweet time with the kids. Merry Christmas.

For me inpatient was a turning point. It did not make it all go away by any means and sometimes I still struggle with why I am living and why not just end it....but I have much better skills to pull myself out and overall life is better. I hope that River Oaks is a good experience for you.

WIll be thinking of you at this time and hope it goes as well as possible. Take sweet care of yourself.

Definitely have flashback hangovers. :(

welcome...glad you are seeing some results. Hope that you find the support you want here.

Overwhelming anxiety sucks and is so exhausting. So sorry that you are experiencing this. Sorry that the day program does not feel more supportive. Hoping that you find some relief soon.

So sorry for what happened to you and what you are now enduring. Sounds like those you "expect" to support you are making matters worse. I can only imagine how scary to face your abuser in court. try not to beat yourself up for the reaction you had. (easier said than done) I am glad that you...

Wow! Good for you. THat is taking your power back, validation he is an a**hole. Take sweet care of yourself,

How horrible. So sorry. Try to take care of you.

I say do not do it just because of the pressure. I think you have to access what "audience" you want to tell as well. I have recently told my "story " in a group and to a life coach. They were more controlled environments that were bound to be more supportive than just general population...

great job! Hoping it all works out.

That sounds like a great plan....good experience to ask questions and explore. Will look forward to hearing how it goes.

I am in a group now that is great (I have been in a couple in the past that were not so). Different ones operate different ways so I think as others have said the interview time is a great time for you to ask, to express concerns, to share how you feel. I have never been in one that "forced"...
