@mrsps I feel for you so much.I am not in a exactly same position as you but very similar in that my therapy sessions are coming to a end soon and as hard as I try I can't help but see it as a abandonment and like my psychologist doesn't care about me. I am very much in two minds whether to go...

Rude people who have no manners. Cliques on forums and social media. People who say they are depressed when really they are just a little bit down. People who breathe heavily. People who smoke. People who are ignorant when it comes to mental health issues. People who lack empathy. Big headed...

You have done amazingly well @Abstract and you should be proud of yourself. If I don't go again I will probably end up with no teeth in my mouth as my oral health is not the best as it is. Your kindness and support has really helped and meant alot to me so thank you once again.

Thank you very much @Abstract for your support and advice.Yes feeling OK with the person is the most important aspect,if you don't feel that then the appointment is not going to work at all.

I wish this sinusitis and acid reflux would go away. Oh no I have got to socialise tomorrow. How am I going to get up at 5.30 tomorrow I really finding this whole cutting down my sessions and having a positive ending hard I have opened up a whole new Pandora's box and I have got nobody to speak...

Thank you all very much for your replies.I have always had a fear of the dentist( especially anything being put in my mouth) since I was little but I never knew why until now. The last dentist touched my face a lot and it was a major trigger for me, I didn't like the fact that he was so close to...

The last time I went to the dentist it was a major trigger for me and I started to remember all these repressed memories from my childhood and for the last 6 months I have really struggled with my mental health. I am in need of a check up with my dentist but even the thought of it is causing me...

I am female and I have had both male and female therapists. I have got too attatched to both the male therapists ,I struggle with abandonment problems with male therapists.I have a good understanding why I do this but at the moment I really struggling to say goodbye to my current therapist. I do...

Am I being selfish 18 years I have waited to get married I am going to be the ugliest bride ever I can't deal with abandonment Saying I love you just because I nearly killed myself does not make everything ok between us.

For me the body sensations have been the biggest indicators for recalling CSA.Like you said you can't make them up and they are very intense. I think we all remember what happened in different ways and none of them are right or wrong but I think we all know in our gut what happened. Have you...

I don't go on chat but can completely understand where you are coming from with the whole abandonment stuff. I have quite bad paranoia and when I come on forums like this sometimes it gets triggered by the fact that sometimes if I reply to someone's thread and they don't answer me then it will...

I have only just started to remember CSA a few months ago and I have now got all these mixed feelings about sex now. A big part of me never wants to be touched again and I never want to have sex again (which is a difficult to deal with as I am in a long term relationship)but there is this other...

I want to burn my flashbacks and how they make me feel. My insecurities,my paranoia,my lack of self esteem. My attachment and abandonment issues

It is strange up until a few months ago I thought my T was the most perfect human being in the world.To me he seemed to have it all,the looks,the personality,the perfect family and his life experiences seemed amazing to me and I was jealous of him. I would compare myself alot to him especially...

Mine comes in waves as well.I will sit and think I feel so much better today and maybe there is nothing wrong with me.Then a few days later I can be rock bottom again.

@berlinda Thinking of you and I am pretty sure you are not scum 1.I want to go home 2.I really don't like or trust other people 3.Hurry up Tuesday 4.That meal out was a complete nightmare 5.Why is life so confusing

Getting my new tattoo done

I just wanted you to know that you are not alone with having these types of thoughts. I often have conversations with my T about how I think he is fed up with me or he wants to get rid of me but he will always tell me that he is not feeling that way. I think if you have low self...

Sorry me being me I didn't concentrate and I didn't read your post properly and didn't see it can't be artistic and only skin coloured. I don't know if it helps but there is make up out there which can camouflage scars but obviously that would have to be put on every day.

I have seen T.V shows where people have self harmed and they had a tattoo to cover over the scars. I am not sure if you can get the BBC where you live but there is a programme on the BBC iPlayer called how a tattoo saved my life and on it is a woman who self harmed and she got a tattoo to cover...

Why can't I deal with abandonment. Hurry up Friday so I can get my new tattoo. I wish I could stop having a certain flashback as it is making me feel so sick. Can I really say that in a therapy session!? Why can't my mother realise I am in my 40s and it is my life.

I would never bash anything that helps other people feel better. EMDR didn't work for me but I am sure it has worked for many other people and that can only be a good thing.

I feel so ashamed and embarrassed about the loving feelings I have towards my therapist but he has been so understanding and has explained to me why I feel that way towards him and why I feel so ashamed about those feelings and that I shouldn't be ashamed of them.I still find it quite hard to...

I hope that therapy helps you to move forward @Amber321 . At the start the body memories were the main indicator for me and then little fragments of my memories came back bit by bit. I have always had nightmares but was confused about what they were about but now I understand what they were...
