Thanks a lot @StillPen. I'm feeling a bit better today :)

Thank you so much @OliveJewel! @Survivor3 My mom knows about my condition and tries to be as supportive as she can, but she's already too preoccupied and stressed daily because of my toxic grandmother who lives with us, so I can't really bother her much with my feelings. As for friends, I do...

Thank you so much @Survivor3. It really does... :(

Feeling so alone and lonely these past weeks. Finding it difficult to self-soothe atm, so a virtual hug would be appreciated.

If money were no concern, I'd have a complete healing team. ❤️‍🩹 Also, it has always been a dream to build and live in an eco-village, or a sustainable tiny-house community in a peaceful rural area. There would be a common library, observatory, and maybe a school that would prioritise teaching...

Edit: Bumping the thread, to share a few videos I regularly come back to for regulation practices. Hopefully some may find these channels helpful too: Love the eft tapping scripts on this channel. Very gentle and self-compassionate. I use this one for daily dance/movement therapy...

One of my favorite quotes. Something that helped jumpstart my journey into self-love, at a time when I'm in deep self-loathing and sabotage: And God said “Love your enemy”, and I obeyed him and loved myself. (Kahlil Gibran) And here's something that constantly helps me get back up when I...

Thank you very much for all the replies, and for sharing your personal experiences. Highly appreciate them! Having read all of these, I guess it's really not clear-cut but an organic process, that would be unique to our own experience and response to therapy. I'm still not under professional...

I did not escape to my room when my mom had visitors. I normally do. I didn't actively engage with conversations, but I wasn't uncomfortable either.
