@mumstheword , thank you. I know I need to be more patient. The fear gets to me and I worry that I'm not being open enough. Maybe it just comes in time. I think I feel pressured to tell him everything so that he can decide if I'm worth dealing with. Let the rejection come sooner than later...

I've been contemplating what the end of therapy would look like for me. I'm nowhere near the point where I should stop going but when will I know when to stop. What am I trying to accomplish? What am I willing to settle for? If my current situation continues, it will never be a question of...

I guess I still have a lot of things on my mind so I might as well write them down. I still don't know how to have this big conversation with my therapist so maybe writing about it will help me find clarity. I want to tell him everything, really lay my cards out on the table. I have this deep...

Today I had to meet with my boss one on one. She's normally a massive trigger for me and I was really nervous going into the meeting. However, she was actually really nice to me today and it was a relief. She focused on the work we needed to do and even joked around with me a little. She...

A friend of mine recently told me that I should start journaling and I thought that maybe this would be a good place to do so. I've been in a weird place lately. I started taking Gabapentin for my anxiety about a month ago and I think it might be having an effect. I definitely have some of...

I am so sorry that those things happened to you. As others have said, it's not your fault and boys can be raped. I know how hard it is to reach out for help at your age. When I was in high school, I reached out for help only to have my mom get involved. She banned me from therapy...

I actually said in group therapy last night that sometimes positivity is the worst thing. I myself have been really struggling lately. I'll sit with you or go on a walk with you.

@Survivor3 , it's not a question of whether I should bring this up to my therapist. I know I should. But there's an overwhelming fear at the prospect of doing so. I am unsure of how to do it because I know I'm going to freeze up. This is a really difficult thing for me to say out loud. I've...

Thank you all for the replies. @TruthSeeker , your post made me realize that, in truth, I'm playing the end game of this process. That probably sounds a lot more dark than I mean it so I will explain. My anxiety and depression have been wildly out of control for at least a year. I was...

Hello all, I am a 39F. I think that I may have C-PTSD based on many, many things but have not been formally diagnosed with it. At least, not that I know of. I see my therapist once per month. I belong to an HMO and that's about all of the time I can get based on my T being overbooked all...
