Probably didn't mean me. Isn't everybody in therapy?

Do you mean me? IF "yes", then Yes I am in therapy. Didn't yet get to the attachment stuff yet. Too much here & now stuff lately.

Sounds like "Avoidant Love Addict" stuff to me, but I'm no therapist.

YES, I so much agree with you. Wisdom.

Neglect is abuse [brother]. Using somebody is abuse [sister]. I agree, Band-aids are insulting & so inadequate.

Hi. I'm new too. To this site, not to the disorders & pain. The avoidant man part of your recent life - just reading it - is a trigger to me. I feel for you & with you. Ouch. I think the healthiest person can be deeply hurt by an avoidant. I painfully learned the difference is that a...

YES, I agree. IF a phone appointments are possible, that would be so much better for you. I have driving anxiety/panic attacks too, so I "get" you. I hope you are home now & getting restorative sleep. Maybe somebody can tell us both/all HOW they improved with the driving. THANX GIZMO DID...

Hi. You asked then answered your own question. I agree with you that there must be chemistry/attraction for a romantic relationship. Maybe the nice guy can't/won't/shouldn't be your friend. Personally, I can't go from romantically invested to just friends. Are you safe from another ex...

Hi. I'm responding to your post from almost 2 years ago. I know what you mean. I obsess/think about it all the time. I feel the need too [want to say to sister not mother] "Be in with both feet for me" OR "Get gone & stay gone". Yet, either-or is not realistic. I expect a lot as a lot of...

Hi. Certainly you are depressed, struggling & lonely. I'm all those things too. Thinking connection, understanding & empathy help us all with all 3? I'm thinking because you are young [even tho you might not feel it], you can fully recover & have a quality life. Wish I didn't wait so long to...

Hi. I'm new here too. Similar aloneness. I am sorry for your losses. Will you keep posting about EMDR? Thanks.

Hi. I've used the term "nervous breakdown" myself, about myself. How did you recover? How long did it take? If you don't mind sharing, that is. Thanks.

Hi. Will you help me understand: What do you mean by "repressed"? You have memory but avoid feelings? OR You have feelings, but no or little memory? Is it only a rumor or random opinion that EMDR works best with newer traumas? Not so well if trauma from long ago? Not so much with...
