You are much welcome. ;) I'm paying it forward. I was once in your shoes.
If you can, I'd see a doctor or clinic. A little off topic, but I'm a product of three negative pregnancy tests. Do what you feel is right, Robin. Take care and hugs.
Welcome to the forum. I agree with all the previous posts. My boydog has been a godsend as is this forum. Sometimes just being able to talk about it with others who went through similar things helps greatly. Best wishes.
I go cold, my throat chokes up. I can feel my heart pounding. I hyperventilate alot. Then I go into rages sometimes but most of the time, I just freeze like deer in the headlights. It's really an odd feeling.
I can relate too. My ex-boyfriend was very abusive to me and tried to hurt me before. You are not alone and perfectly normal. I deal with the same fears daily. Welcome to the forum.
From my personal experience, security and stability are key to recovery. They may just need to know you support them and care about them. But that's just my two cents. Welcome to the forum. There are many people form all over around here.
you are much welcome, you guys are all like family to my. I try to help when I can. Plus your tips and comments have helped me greatly.
That's how I feel often. I miss my meds. I'm having the urges to drink again to curtail it.
I know the feeling too. Sober six months, woot. I used to hide things. If I was drunk I was bulletproof. Or my ex's ranting didn't bother me or if he was drunk we wasn't so angry. I was safe. Now I'm learning to manage to use it as a skill also.
I do that to. I think it is a survival instinct from the abuse ( in my case) . I try to make peace as soon as possible by glossing things over or apologizing when I don't need to.
