I have been away for a few days so not been reading on here, but I am so sorry to have read all this and to see how hard things have been for you. I am thinking and praying for you so much, and really hope that this time the police really will take you seriously, like they should have done...

I agree that what your friend did was totally unprofessional. Having done some counselling training myself I am very aware that this is not acceptable at all, as confidentiality really is of such massive importance. My therapist I know has a supervisor, who she does talk to about her work with...

Sorry to hear it has happened again. Is there any way you can get someone to leave with you when you go to your car and make sure you are safe? Or do you have a backup and number you can call very fast if something does happen? If someone is following you, you really do need and deserve so much...

I am sorry to hear you are still finding things so hard. I am not surprised your anxiety and everything is so much higher. I know for me that when the 'protective' part of me, which just goes into the numb nothing matters and it doesn't matter what has happened or does happen to my body state...

I am so sorry to hear you are feeling so unsafe. You are doing so well with all that you are facing, and I am also so glad that you have been able to resist the cutting. You deserve to be looked after and to keep yourself safe, not to hurt yourself more, and I am really hoping you can find...

Glad the screaming has quietened a bit, and am thining of you too. Helen

My personal experience is that I got to a stage where I just couldn't shut that screaming out any more, no matter how hard I tried. I survived for many years and still if I am honest have a massive part of me which just does not want to remember and face it, but I know for me it just isn't an...

I am so glad to hear how helpful it was for you today and that you have such an excellent and supportive therapist. You deserve it so much and I am really hoping that now the pressure is off that bit more you can find some positive ways to look after yourself too this evening and give yourself...

I've not been on here much for the last few days and had not seen that you had still been having such a hard time, but have just read the rest of this thread and wanted to let you know that I have been thinking of you and reading this feel so much for you and am sending you safe hugs if you'll...

I am sorry to hear you are going through a really hard time at the moment. I do not really have a lot I can say at the moment, but wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and really hope you are able to find that safe space to let out all the emotions which do need to come out, knowing that...

@Echo, you certainly are not a nuisance at all, it is a privilege to have been able to form the friendship we have on here. You have helped me so much and I feel for you so much too. The beauty of a forum like this is that everyone understands when others are going through a hard time too, and...

@Pietro, I can also relate so much to what you are saying about the protectors, and know those places in me find it so hard to allow me to connect to any of those really hurting and terrified parts, but I know too they are just so scared too and really need so much reassurance too as they too...

@Echo, I have been thinking of you so much while I have been out and wanted to take a few minutes to reply now and really hope you are doing ok. I know you will not want to be triggered any more, and really hope you have managed to find a way to keep yourself grounded and safe. Those parts just...

I am literally on my way out now so not going to be able to reply properly until later, but have just read what you have written and feel so deeply for you about the things you have written and shared and am sending you safe hugs and thinking of you so much. Helen

I am glad calm is in the air for you and really hope you can sleep well tonight. I hope you can just continue to be honest with your therapist about the things which are coming up, and really do believe that the most important thing is to trust your instuncts. I do believe you will know when...

I am so sorry to hear that things are so hard for you with all the screaming parts. I know I can relate so much to the way they come up with such a vengence after fighting so hard to keep them all down, and then know that I am so exhausted from the keeping them down, that I am in an even harder...

I also agree with what everyone else had said that this does not mean you have not come a very long way and do not think you have made a mistake. It is totally normal that you would respond like that to the situation, and I really hope you are able to find some safety within it all and am...

Glad to hear you are doing ok, particularly emotionally and hope that as you journey more and more forward with God, He will continually keep reassuring you and that through it all you will be stronger and be able to walk more and more into the plans He has for you. God bless Helen

I am immensly grateful for yours too, and really do not know how I would have got through last night without it. Good night Helen

Praying for those archangels to be really surrounding and protecting you tonight and hope you are able to sleep well, as I also really should be trying to do. I hope it has helped and that you did not mind me writing so much about it all to you. Good night Helen

I just wanted to add quickly that one thing which has really brought me back to not being so massivly self destruct in those angry places too has been just really looking at myself and realising that I really was "just a little girl". All this anger, self hatred and blame, I know I could never...

I do not feel you are being intrusive. I know that when I do not feel safe with writing, that I can say that, and am happy to share my experiences, and feel that I can connect so much with what you are saying too. For myself a lot of this was going on a long time before I began the EMDR. As a...

I am also glad you went, and that they are going to check things out properly, and know you deserve to be looked after as well as possible, and hope you are also able to care for and look after yourself in the best possible way too, as you recover emotionally and physically from all the things...

I am sorry to heat that from that part of yourself it is so hard for you to be able to validate the reality of what has happened and that there is so much anger towards yourself. When I think of it for myself, I do not think it is that part of me lying, when I feel so self destructive and cannot...

Thank you so much. Trying so hard to be back in mummy mode now that I have to be for my children, but finding it so hard and just feel like I am screaming am screaming so much on the inside. Really appreciate your support so much. Hx
