Welcome to the forum. Congrats for taking a step and introducing yourself. You mention an important thing I think in the ability to laugh at ourselves. I hope that you find the support and listening ears here and that you find comfort in knowing you are not alone.

Wow! Congratulations. I think that is huge. I think it is vital to acknowledge and celebrate each success...so extra well done.

oh snowflake...kudos for reaching out for support!! Breathe....be kind to yourself...do something nice for yourself. hope that you feel a little better very soon.

No great insight here...just wanted you to know that you are heard. That is super tough. Lots to think through and lots of conversation to have. Do you have a therapist that you can talk with?

Welcome to the forum. Take your time and look around. Jump in when you feel comfortable. I hope that you find the support and encouragement you want here.

I have definitely had this problem. I do not think you are alone at all. Sometimes there are no words, sometimes they are too hard to say, sometimes the voice of shame is too loud to hear any other words. Like stp I have found journeling to help....I also use art a lot...uses a different part...

So sorry that happened. Hope that you have made it so that you will not see again. What a shock and unsettling thing. Take sweet care of yourself. I hope that you share this with your T before you delve in this week. May need some time to settle first.

Wow...that is very cool. Welcome to the forum.

Glad that you heard back...that is amazing for a weekend! I went to a place in Tennessee. I went kicking and screaming, but was the best thing in the long run. I hope that SP is the same for you...not to make it sound easy at all...it was hell and really only in hind sight can see much of the...

I did an inpatient stay for 4 months a few years ago. I was in such a bad state that I do not remember much about the process of getting in....but i do remember what seemed like an eternal interview on the phone with the facility. As others have said...try to keep up with out patient...

Kudos for reaching out and trying all these things...sounds like you have done all that you can...you have really reached out and been vulnerable and asked to be held accountable. Now just try to be kind to yourself, take sweet care of your heart no matter the outcome.

Definitely sending hugs your way. I hate how these things resurrect and haunt. I do not have the magic thing to make the urge go away...just want you to know that you are not alone in this, that you are in my thoughts. Are there things that have worked in the past to help you ride out the urges?

OMG Yes....I have really been dealing with this a lot lately. Hate that battle....yes I should eat...no don't want anything....need to do x, nope do not want to....You are not alone....Do not have the magic answer...just know that you do not battle alone.

Welcome to the forum. I hope that you find the support you need here. Kudos for reaching out.

So glad that you were able to share and able to experience his caring response.

I understand your feelings that T will be mad or disappointed, your feelings of shame. I can tell you my experience. I held onto that fear of telling...it just created more pain, once I told-my T was more than understanding and explained to me why and "of course" you did that. It was so much...

Welcome and kudos for starting to open up. It is a very brave thing. Take your time and take good care of yourself as you do it. I hope that you feel supported here at the forum

"It won't always be like this" Really....how do you know that?

If you are more of a visual/auditory learner you might want to go the Marsha Lineham You Tube route....be warned that in my opinion they are dry and slow, but good source of information. If you are more of a worksheet/exercise and reading type of learner...I think a good source is The...

Way to go acknowledging a positive. Take sweet care of yourself and don't beat yourself up if it reappears.

Just my take....I do not think PTSD is an "excuse" for cheating....she has been cheating on you a long time. If PTSD not involved would you "tolerate" that....it seems like it is a long term thing, not a one time fling....that is a lot of lying and lots of trust issues. I can tell that you...

This seems that it really comes from your heart and I think that is what really matters. You seem like an amazing friend. I would love it if someone cared this much for me!

if you have a step...do up/don steps, punches even without bag...just imagine, dance....You are on the right track to mix it up. I use a Wii Fit for rhythmic boxing, step, etc...not sure if you have access to something like that. Keep it up, just keep trying....I know for me exercise really is...

This makes great sense. I have felt similar. Fear that if I feel it will never stop and i will be totally out of control. I have really learned though that it does not work to shove it down....fight it....it will come out one way or another. For me a big key has been to learn the skill of...

wow...that is awesome
