Family is a bit odd when it comes to my life. I have family, and "family." My family are the people biologically related to me who love and accept me. However, my "family" are the biologically related people who I grew up with and who abused my siblings and me. I live in the US, as does my...

I've dissociated a couple times in therapy, and I only ever remember the first few minutes of the usual "hello"s and "how are you"s. Of course, the T says something like "What happened yesterday?" and when I admit that I can't recall what happened they say, "Really? Well you sat there without a...

The majority of what I listen to is classical music, specifically orchestral. For me, I feel the emotion of a piece very strongly which distracts me from emptiness or dispair when it hits. The fact that I can feel the music so strongly is probably because I've played for years, and I've always...

ScaredOfLonely, fortunately I don't think I've developed any new allergies. Within the past year, however, I suddenly became allergic to rabbits and pet rats. I love both, so it's very sad that I can't play with rats or be in the same room as a rabbit. :( I've also recently become mildly...

I've been eating the same things all week: lentils, the few spices my significant other and I have, apples, rice, oats, various veggies. Nothing external either. There's nothing from then that could've been any different. I've also noticed my sensitivity to perfumes and cleaning chemicals...

I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced any sort of allergic reaction without any environmental cause (such as skin/respiratory irritants or food). I've heard of high stress levels being connected to histamine release, but I'm the only anecdotal case I've heard of. I've been strung so...

I've been working full-time since June, and it's become evident to me that I can't deal with the stress and physical work of a job. I work 40 hours out of necessity. I can't afford not to work that much. My life has become work and lying in bed. Though I sleep very little, I can't get myself out...

I feel as if I'm at war with myself. I'm having flashbacks that are causing self-doubt while looking at the good and reasoning with that. It's like my mind is split, and I'm yelling at both sides. Can's forget the body either: My shoulders are really tense today due to my anxious posture, and...

Hey there! I've been doing pretty well lately, though I guess that's relative to how I was 5 months ago... Anyway, recently I can foresee things getting worse, so I've been having more flashbacks, anxiety, and more vivid nightmares. I have two sources of PTSD, unfortunately. I don't know when...
