Something else to consider might be housing for people with disabilities. There is going to be some differences based on local laws and rules, but you might not necessarily have to qualify for financial disability assistance from the government to qualify to live in a building for people with...

I make sure that I am meeting my needs. Food, water, shelter, and sleep are things you have to have to keep from destabilizing further. After that is showers and something that I enjoy that I have to leave the house for.

They're both comedy films starring Cary Grant directed by big name directors that were filmed only a few years apart. Part of the reason I can't pick a favorite is that they're so similar.

If one of my therapists were to tell me this, I don't know that I'd see it any differently than any other time one of them has mentioned something going on with their health. I've had therapists mention if they're having dental surgery or something so that if they had to cancel an appointment...

1. What is your favorite movie? Either Bringing Up Baby or Arsenic and Old Lace 2. What is your favorite book? The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson 3. Goal check in: have you made progress on your New Years resolutions? I didn't make any this year. I had been doing so much analyzing...

What is it that you used to do when you were more dependent on him that you are not doing now? I think I'm understanding the difference in you internally and how he reacts to you changing, but I'm not entirely sure what differences he is noticing.

You may qualify for a supportive rental subsidy or supporting housing program. Also, reaching out to religious groups that you are not a member of can be an option.

If you bought your husband a shirt that was too tight for him to be comfortable in, what would you expect him to do about it? It's reasonable that you are being reminded of your experiences with your mother, but it doesn't seem like she had a good response to you not liking the clothes she...

This occured to me right in the middle of my little over two week gap between appointments when she's out of town, which seems to always be when I come up with questions I want to ask her.

I've been doing EMDR since January. Things have been going pretty well. I've gotten used to the process, and I've been making progress. I have also been staying in my body more. I've had a very good last few weeks espescially. Something strange that has been happening is that I've been noticing...

I think you are handling this all very well. Playing telephone with doctors' offices is frustrating even when it is a minor issue. I get all my MRIs at the fancy sports medicine place because I don't want to deal with the stress of going to one of the big hospitals either.

My insurance had a much better search than Psychology Today's website. They are pickier about what they can list as specialties.

Would you be able to also check on the county level? In my state, you would be able to go through either your own county and the county that the facility is in. They are also able to advocate on your behalf with state agencies.

I've been struggling with this lately. When I'm having this problem, I keep a notebook next to me at all times. I start each week with a page of stuff that I'm going to need to remember in the future beyond the week. I designate a space for each day and fill in whatever I can. The day before...

I went through the screening process for a program meant for people with excoriation disorder. I decided to put it off and do EMDR first for just practical reasons, but I did learn a lot going through the screening process. I could have and probably should have talked to someone a lot sooner...

I think you should take your therapist up on her offer to help you find a new therapist. You have trusted her with many other aspects of your care, so you can have faith that she will do her best to set you up with a good therapist. Would you be able to keep your spot on the waiting list while...

I had some relief through taking NAC supplements, which a psychiatrist I was seeing recommended to patients that pick. Ultimately, my stomach couldn't handle the amount I needed to take every day, but they gave my skin time to heal and me time to develop better methods of dealing with it.

I think that one advantage of his statement is that it would be non-threatening to people that are in the same position that he was in. Having been in the position to be forced to attend pitches for young adults to sign up for conversion therapy on a pretty regular basis for a few years, it was...

Is it possible for you to reach out to your wraparound for support on this? You have the right to get your money back and do not need to continue to see this psychiatrist to do so. You have grounds to file a complaint and Medicare has resources to help you. The specifics is going to depend on...

Definitely try DHS first, but the Department of Housing and Urban Development is a second option in some areas.

I think it is a very good idea to talk to someone about this. Something that stood out to me while reading your posts is that you do seem to have a plan to deal with some of this. When things went badly, you called the police, which is the right thing to do in that situation. You have already...

I don't know if it would help to have someone say this, but this seems like a very difficult decision to me also. When I'm in your position, the thing that helps me is to keep talking about it until one option starts seeming better than the rest, so I'm going to keep asking questions. How has...

I meditate daily and am starting to shift towards leading other people in meditation. Most of my progress was in a group setting with someone that didn't specialize in trauma but that I knew well and was able to give participants a lot of one-on-one attention. For me, the biggest thing was...

What do your EMDR and main therapists think about hospitalization? It also seems weird to me that you are capable of doing EMDR and not group DBT if the issue is dissociation. Do you dissociate more in group settings or behave in disturbing or disruptive ways when you dissociate? What does...

Have you made any progress in taking longer to respond to her messages?
