    All Over The Place

    Since I'mi n therapy again, i don't sleep much. I'm more emotional crying at very random times. Deeper and deeper breaths when i feel anxious. Having some difficulty again with being able to calm myself during panic attacks. I may need another script for some relief. I see my psych doctor...

    Feeling Checked Out

    I had therapy yesterday, could not sleep well, had so many thoughts, worked so hard today at my job, tonight I feel so checked out. Like I have no interests at all. No energy. I hope every week after therapy isn't like this. I always thought i freeze, but I realized that my response is flight...

    Worst Trigger I've Had In A While

    Just read your message. Welcome to state college, I'm so sorry that you are having a hard start. It can be difficult I have found to think you've run into your abuser, predator, or person who hurt you, what ever you might say. And it's hard running into those people too. I recently wanted to say...

    5 Days On Zoloft Feel Super Depressed

    I would let your psychiatrist know before continuing the plan with the increase. I have IBS and I had a hard time with Zoloft. I take Effexor and haven't had many issues. Good Luck! I'm so sorry that you have been feeling so depressed.

    Childhood Wanting To Be Free

    Upon processing I realized that I talked about my DV relationship today maybe because I have gone through years of therapy to get peace after that and so I felt safer talking about that than I do my childhood sexual abuse. I shut down when I said something and I can't go back and remember what...

    Childhood Wanting To Be Free

    Met with my T today. Gave good insight. Hasn't fully set in yet. I know because I so often feel shame, saddened, and still not in control, in still moments once I get to process. I procrastinate as long as I can. I want to understand my triggers and have useful tools to keep me from resisting...

    Childhood Wanting To Be Free

    When I was 9 years old I remember being homeless with my mother, sister and brother. My brother had a friend that took us in for the summer. It was probably the best summer of my life. My mom, sister and I all shared a bed in a room of our own, ate lots of good food, ate snacks that we had ...

    Repeating Theme In Nightmares

    Your not alone. Those nightmares sound terrifying. I too have had my share of nightmares. My t just told me that I may not feel ready or even remember more than fragments but that my body is ready and does remember. Things like your nightmares would be an example as to how it interrupts your...

    Random Memories A Pre-cursor To More Memories?

    thank you, I am blessed so far with not feeling guilty only saddened. I too am talking about my dad. He lives in my town. Calls me every week. I've always kept my relationship with him very 'on my terms', not a coincidence I guess.

    Childhood Why Is Childhood Sexual Abuse Damaging ?

    Lucycat, I easily could be wrong but I sounds like the person that abused you wants sorry to be enough and does not want to admit he caused any damage. I think it's because he's scared. He sounds to me like he is still trying to have the control. Fact is, he had the control when he abused you...

    Random Memories A Pre-cursor To More Memories?

    Reading these posts have been helpful. I had a concussion two years ago and have been remembering very little detail but none the less sexual childhood trauma. There's one image that's been bothering me of someone dear to me. It's me in a bathtub with this persons face only, tunnel vision...
