Totally agree. I'm so sorry you're experiencing this as well :( therapy hasn't helped much?

Thank you (: I guess I should email her and remind her I just feel like I'm intruding because I always end up emailing her in between sessions. This is the third time she's forgotten to email me information but I'm forgiving and know she's a busy woman. I do like her so I'm going to give her a...

I too ask myself this question...almost daily. I know these feeling well and I'm so sorry you too have to experience how painful it is to live life this way. But there is hope friend it takes time and that's unfair since we've already had to live through so much pain but there truly is hope...

I'm wondering if I'm over thinking things because of the hurt I've experienced in the past or if how I'm feeling is valid and justifiable. I reached out to my T almost 2 weeks ago in between sessions telling her my depression is the worst it's ever been and asked her if she thought Its time I...

I wanted to apologize for not responding to all these lovely messages last week! I'm afraid my energy was extremely low and I had trouble sorting through all the dark thoughts I had over this past week. It has indeed been one hell of a week but know I'm still standing tall and pushing through...

I wrote a letter to my T describing the sexual abuse from my childhood because there was no way I could even try to say it out loud. She read it today during our session and cried. I never expected that kind of reaction, I actually expected her to not believe me (which is a common negative...

Not a bad idea but how shall I explain this one to my mother She would be so confused..especially since she isn't aware I self-harm to begin with. I guess that doesn't necessarily matter though as long as I'm safe. Thanks friend!

Vyvanse unfortunately :( haven't told my T but I need to.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice with preventing self-harm while dissociating? It typically only happens for me in the middle of the night after waking up from a nightmare and dissociating due to intense emotional flooding. It's become a vicious cycle for me and the only way to calm me...

This was an issue for me as well. In my experience I believe it was because I never received genuine compassion and understanding for my pain/ emotions growing up. So when I began therapy a fewonths back and experienced these feelings for the first time I stuck to her like glue. I would bring it...

It took me 17 years to work up the courage to finally speak up. 17 years of pretending that what he was doing to me, to a little 5 year old girl was just all in my head. That I was the bad one, the dirty one, the freak. 17 years is a long time guys..especially when you're just a kid. But you...

Thank you friend From the bottom of my heart!

This. Ugh this is so me! It's so odd to me that people who care about me choose to gang up on me during difficult times rather than embracing me. Whether or not they believe me we're still friends and they should be supportive right? I couldn't imagine doing that to other person let alone...

You explained it perfectly. We get burned when we reach out. It's such a calming feeling knowing I'm not the only one and that my feelings are valid. I won't lie I felt pretty defective earlier this morning but after reading your comments I do feel like I've come across a family of people who...

I just wanna make it all go away

I'm trying. I swear I'm trying to fight this horrible inner voice but it hurts. I'm there emotionally for everyone in my life. I'm compassionate and empathetic towards everyone..people even come to me when they need advice but when I reach out It's like I have some horrible sickness and no one...

Today I found out my mom is kicking out both my brother and I. I've been out of work since October because my ptsd symptoms have been extremely overwhelming. I'm 22 and also just started spring semester classes and don't know how I'm going to not only start a new job but also make enough money...

The thought of it terrifies me honestly but i know writing it down or emailing it to her is necessary at this point! Also thank you so much for your support, you all are so great!!!

I keep thinking about that myself..If i'm going to pay for treatment I need to get the most out of it! Also did your therapist choose to open up first or did you ask? Sometimes I'm curious about why my therapist chose this profession but I feel like asking would step over boundaries.

Thank you everyone! I was pretty overwhelmed earlier but managed to calm myself down. It's just interesting to me that I felt so confident in my ability to open up and receive help before starting therapy but once i really got into it I just started to freeze every time we began discussing any...

I recently started therapy about two month ago and was diagnosed with c-ptsd. I've never been to therapy and honestly have been in denial about the unending trauma within my family thats still going on today. My question is how do i tell my new therapist i'm self medicating, self harming and...
