Welcome to the forum. I hope that you find support here that you want and need. Great job in stepping out.

You are not alone....I have not cut in a long time, but I have in the past and it was mostly focused on a certain body part. Consider it a good thing that "you can't"...so glad you have open communication with your T....try anything you can to break those thoughts....cold/hot/exercise/reaching...

That sounds horrible....I hope that you get out of there soon and can just chill with your baby and breathe!

So sorry that you are going through that. I too have a service dog. Last week he got an injury at the dog park...not hing life threatening at all, but I was so upset...when he is off I am definitely off. I hope that you get good news soon...so stressful. Try to take sweet care of yourself.

No magic pill or wand. It takes work. I would recommend therapy. Shoving it all down does not make it go away. Kudos for realizing something needs to be done and reaching out.

You are not alone....I was much further along in life and past my college years, but i lost a job I loved, friends, a different country that I lived in, who I am/was. It does not mean though that your intelligence is diminished....you may have times of fog, trouble concentrating, think...

Sorry you are struggling so....kind of in the same boat, just wanted you to know that I hear you and keep trying all those skills. Sounds like you are doing an amazing job trying, Thoughts coming your way.

Welcome. I am glad you found the forum. Here I think you will find connection and not feel so alone. Many of us experience similar things despite our stories being very different.

Just know that you are not alone. Self harm tries to create a different pain when something else feels to much or you feel nothing and need to feel something. I am so impressed that your T already knows. I used to self harm and it took me a really long time before I told. sometimes shocking...

Wow...I am triggered by many of the same things as you, but I do not have 4 young children. No magic answer here...but I hear you. Some thoughts....I believe that your home is your sanctuary when hyper-vigilance and triggers in the world are so real...so it is vital to create a space that...

You are not alone in this struggle. PTSD caused nausea for me which eventually led to not eating, not feeling like I deserved food, like it was the one thing I could control. I have gone from anorexia, to going to residential tx and gaining weight to now being in a fitness program and losing...

Welcome to the forum. Great job speaking up with T and in reaching out here. Hope you find the support here you are looking for.

Welcome to the forum and nice job reaching out. I could have written many of your words. I also have many somatic symptoms and when they rage and my brain rage is when i am at my worst. I am unable to work so do not have that to worry about. I do find exercise to help to a degree sometimes a...

I agree with Friday to gain information. There are all different levels and different types of facilities and programs. I have been to 2 different places for short term holds....neither of which were helpful and lots of restrictions. I also spent 4 months in residential treatment that was...

Welcome to the forum.

absolutely yes!

No magic answer....just know that you are not alone. I recently started dipping into the whole "shame" aspect in therapy and has definitely activated some old ED behaviors and thoughts. It is hard....Do you have a therapist you are comfortable sharing with?

I just want to wrap you up and assure you that what you "know" to be true is so....To tell all those voices in your head to shut up....Try to rest that brain of yours and all those circling thoughts. Take sweet care of yourself.

Glad to hear that you are feeling this. So important to note those good times! Enjoy!

Welcome to the forum. Hope that you find support here and realize you are not alone.

This is something i am just beginning to tackle...I have been avoiding, but this week in therapy trying to hit head on. So can't give you any scenario how it goes....just wanted to say here with you.

No magic answer here....just want you to know that there is no judgment....and kudos for reaching out. I have not personally been in the sex industry, but worked overseas with women and girls who had been trafficked. I believe that in the US and most of the Western world there is a very...

wow...that is tough. So sorry for that loss. Great job reaching out for support here. Take sweet care of yourself.

So sorry that you are feeling all this. Just today I sat across the "screen" on skype with a therapist and felt stripped and "seen"....I can hide behind typing and not be as emotional, but when seen can't hold it all in. DBT has also helped me in many ways....but there are still times that...

totally understandable...that is why I thought maybe if you could get some space from them for a small bit.
