No, you're not. I also get hit on inappropriately all the time. It can feel good a little bit, but mostly keeps me from trusting that men can be just good people who see me as a person.

I'd also recommend cats! Can you have pets/emotional support animals where you live? I talk to my cats all day long, they help me when I'm heartbroken or helpless. Therapists can be hard, sometimes it is hit or miss. Getting to find who and what kind of therapy works for you is a challenge...

I put Wayne Dyer on repeat. It's free on YouTube. He has a three hour track that repeats over and over [paraphrased]: I am pure spirit. I always have been, and I always will be. ... The answers are speeding their way to me. When the tie comes, the answers will be there.

It happens to us highly sensitive people. But, we have our superpowers! I go for long walks/hikes in nature. It helps me calm down, and I can often prioritize things. If you can't do that, other exercise also helps. And meditation: when I'm really wired, it can be hard to meditate...

It's 4th of July. I have all these great tools to help my PTSD and and anxiety, and my other issues. And all this awareness I didn't use to have. I am also exhausted. I feel like money should come easier, and MOST IMPORTANT OF ALL I am tired of being alone. I want my partner NOW... I feel...

I'm currently working on releasing toxic energy, and emotions, that get stuck in my body. By using techniques of listening to my subconscious through my body. Have spent so long trying to process stuff that gets stuck,... and then it doesn't get released. Or it is so long and arduous. Sounds...

It was wrong, is that enough to know?

It happens. Sometimes, pretending is the safe space.

You are not the problem. Not sure if he is. But, find people you can talk to! Even if it's on the phone or online, if getting together is hard. Nothing wrong with needing long conversations.

You have a good plan and good awareness of yourself and your resources. Congrats.

Took some big steps yesterday on projects I've had for a while. Then, I went for a hike during the new moon last evening. I slept like a rock. I feel like it IS my new chapter.

Yes, slow and steady is best! That's so great for you!

I hate the power dynamic at a prison visit. They can search you and your belongings, you can't take your phone, etc. I like to take some reading material so I can act like I have my own thing going on when I have to wait 45 minutes for them to transfer me to the visit room... instead of staring...

All the chicken videos on Instagram. People going to the Starbucks drive through with their chicken, people having their chicken in the bed with them because she gets severe separation anxiety, people taking their chicken on their RV adventures...

Welcome oscarette999! BTW, I love 'oscarette,' it's such a cute name. EMDR is something you should try; I'm hoping to get back to it myself.

Interesting, I may try this.

Yes. We are here; now you're not always alone. I'd also recommend a therapist, if you have the means for it. Or, start thinking about it, someday.

I've discovered the rapper Rod Wave recently, and I really like his songs. He has one song, "Sky Priority," that makes me cry whenever I hear it (usually on repeat). It's about pain and betrayal. There is one line in it, "Death must be easy because life is hard." It makes me feel good to...

Love those moments! Something good from fear.

Thank you for sitting with me. Thank you for saying you are stuck, also. I feel like I've been in the same exact place for four years, of insecurity, fear, and congestion. There are shades of grey and not actual colors out there for me. I got a piece of it yesterday :)

Can I please get some support? Feeling so stuck,,, stuck in being stuck. Don't want to go into details, no energy for that, already done it, just need my miracle.

Honestly, the way she handled that sounds mean. Even if she accidentally smiled the first time, as your therapist, she should've apologized when you bravely brought up later how it hurt you. Even if she was just apologizing for making you feel bad. I wasn't there, so I can't gauge the...

Meditation has helped me immensely. You just start where you're at. E.g., you're supposed to sit up straight and be alert, etc. I give myself permission to lay in bed while exhausted and meditate, if that's what I feel like. There are times where I'll sit up straight, too. Meditation really...

Once you start enjoying yourself, and feeling good after having exercised, or getting compliments from others, you stop giving a f*ck *as much as you used to* about other people watching.
