Does anyone else have this issue? I feel really big urges that I want to do something, work wise I mean. maybe start my own business go into a career of some sort. I have been home for 12years now and I am grateful for having that time with my kids. I wish that were enough for me but it isnt...

I have days like that I want to just pretend the world doesn't exist and I feel only numbness. Usually it is emotional exhaustion. Dont beat yourself up over it, rest up take care of yourself and it will pass.

Good luck @Nepheli I am starting emdr on monday and have the exact same thoughts. going to feel the fear and do it anyway!

how are things going @MariaY

Could you do it via phone maybe or an internet chat?

Real sorry to read your post. I cannot begin to imagine what you are feeling right now. Sending best wishes

I get what you are saying @VioletButterfly i think for me i almost could do with taking a length of time off from life and have some tough love therapy. Something to break it down and then put it all back together in a better way. It is my impatience i want to be ok now not in 5 years time.....

I must be odd because i remember so much and i wish i didnt

I am now at a point of being embarrassed to say I have PTSD and OCD. It is not because I am ashamed of it or particularly hide it but more because of how PTSD is now thrown around. I have had it for years with the OCD it seems everyone is OCD about something. PTSD is going the same way with...

I am in the other category as I do not identify with either victim or survivor. this could be more of a reflection on my self-identity crisis. I do agree with @Junebug that we are responsible for the response now as adults. as for blame i do not blame myself now but i do have responsibility...

@loui50. Yay well done. Love a hug

I have been the same. I think for me if i am honest picking on all the therapy problems offered me a good way out of getting to the real stuff. Have done the same as you many times saying i was ending therapy then changing my mind. Be warned that therapist will only cope with it so many times.

@Punky143. So sorry to hear this makes me so mad. My abuser is walking free after legal red tape and my mum lying to get herself from getting acused. It is so not fair. Legal system seems to work on innocent til proven guilty and victim only until time is served. It takes no account of what...

@Ellie gosh you certain have had a lot going on no wonder you are feeling rough that is a lot all at once. Take it easy when you can and kid hugs are great for bringing it all back together

or is that maybe at your core you want to save yourself but because you dont know how you are deflecting that onto saving others.

dont be so hard on yourself if more people were observant and willing to act then maybe less people would have to suffer abuse. that said you cant save everyone put your energies into saving yourself.

you did completely the right thing. I dont know how things work there but it is now infact illegal over here to hold such information and not report it. it would be so damaging to your relationship with your children to take the information and not act on it. you are a great mum for putting...

Sorry to hear you are having a rough time. how about putting on some restful music some nature sounds even. plug the headphones in and see if it can open up a bit of space in your head if you cant get it physically. even if you have to put a do not disturb sign up.

that makes complete sense. maybe you could look at the core belief behind that. might be that you value others more than yourself, or that you feel responsible for everyone, or believe it is your job to fix everything. once you know what core belief is at play then it will help you to decided if...

and lets not forget how exhausting too

i think what your T means is are you doing those things because you feel some sort of obligation to or do they serve a purpose to you, do you get some sort of emotional payout. for example does it make you feel better about yourself to help others.

@VioletButterfly well said. you sum up the complete and utter confusion well. sorry that you feel it too.

hi. glad you are giving it a go. talk away.

Marsha linhams worksheet book is good but not overly useful without the manual too or a good basis of dbt already.

@Ellie so sorry to hear you are feeling so bad right now. Hard to know what to say with no real details but i find routine helps when i feel like that. Structuring the day or even hour usually around my 2 childrens needs. I try to focus on then even looking at nice photos. They hold me up and i...
