I have a therapy course for a year, and I am six months in and my therapist has just told me she's leaving. I have shared some of the most personal and painful things with her, and I don't know how to process this or how to cope. I will get somebody else but I know I will not develop the trust...

I really desperately need this deleting. It is not safe for me to have this posted. Please. I have reported it but it says you won't delete it.

I don't know how to explain this very well. I am sorry if this doesn't make very much sense at all. For 18 years I grew up in a ritualistic abusive group. My therapist has explained that I was programmed to respond in certain ways to certain things. Halloween is always massive for me; I am...

My consultant is point blank refusing any medication. I have heard that things like clonazepam could help but he is so adamant that he's not going down the medication route. I live with other people but none that I would be comfortable asking for help/monitoring from. I have tried to sleep in a...

I'm having extremely difficult nights. I dissociate every night, and I keep coming around about 5am having realised I've tied ligature points, cut my self, bruised myself, and this morning I found myself choking on my pillow case. I don't know how this is happening, it is getting worse as I am...

Because I'm scared of breaking my limit of going to the toilet just once in the morning. I don't know. I guess I'm asking for the impossible. I'm so sorry.

The dietician I'm working with has agreed to slow down the fluid increase, so at the moment I'm at 500ml. I am so sorry if I have appeared unresponsive or ungrateful to the suggestions. I am not at all. I genuinely appreciate them all. I am just so scared. I think I have developed an OCD like...

I could try, but it would just increase the amount I need the toilet? Thank you for the kind suggestion.

I think I do have OCD. Trying to increase my fluids even minimally is cranking up my OCD thoughts. Having to stand up a certain amount of times, walk through doors a certain amount of times, brushing my teeth a certain amount of times. I'm quite obsessive about numbers.

I am obsessive about oral hygeine. I have to brush my teeth minimum of 7 times a day, chew gum a lot. I wouldn't have oral sex with a man, but I am ok with a woman. I breathe through both my mouth and nose. I guess there's a lot of overlap between things because these can be quite triggering...

I am actually so worried about increasing my fluids that its making it worse. I increased by 50mls last week and I stopped going to the toilet, only letting myself go my normal once a day in the morning. I know its necessary but its so hard, I really don't think I can do it. I'm so scared of...

I still haven't managed to increase. I'm stuck at 500ml. I wouldn't wear pads really. I cope with the shower by not drying myself, just sitting in a towel till dry.

My therapist knows, yes. I am in therapy but very stagnant with this issue. I have agreed to increase my fluids by 50ml.

I am currently in therapy, I just cannot tolerate having to touch/see myself. I am dehydrated but I can't see a way of making myself increase my fluids. I am a nurse so I know all the physical effects. I just don't know how to handle the emotional side. Thanks for your reply.

I am currently severely restricting my fluids because I am too scared of having to go to the toilet. I only go once a day, in the morning and I literally spend all night psyching myself to go to the toilet. I get very dissociated whenever I see the scar near my vagina that he made and I simply...

Tonight my friend told me that the person who hurt me also hurt them, and told me how. They only told me because I promised them I wouldn't say anything and that they trust me implicitly. They were in pieces. I am in pieces, I feel so angry and so guilty. I don't know what to do. I know they...

Thank you for all your kind replies. I have seen her. She's my DBT therapist. My psychologist brought her into one of our sessions, but I couldn't look at her. She said she was sort of glad she saw because she realised for the first time that I had been self-harming my intimate areas, and I...

I don't remember it at all. I wouldn't feel safe enough to do it in front of anybody. A nurse told me afterwards when they had given me some midazolam to calm down. My therapist had left me by then. I'm so sorry.

I feel so ashamed though.

I was really distressed and in the middle of flashbacks, but this is the worst thing I could have possibly have done. I often go to undress when I have flashbacks but I've never actually stripped before. I haven't seen her since, but will tomorrow (I'm inpatient) and I honestly cannot face her...
