Well this thread got nasty really fast. But anyways, I think I do kinda see what @Lemontree was trying to get at. Perhaps something about being humble, enjoying things that others take for granted, etc. Because a metric shit-ton of people take everyday life for granted. By hook or by crook, we...

I'm in agreement with the others, you should totally stick with the therapist. I've had some in the past which didn't help, but didn't really do any harm either. In some ways it was good, in others bad. So congrats on the good times. Don't take a few days or weeks of good times for granted...

I6igO by Go Hungry posted Apr 2, 2015 at 8:38 AM Hah! Yeah, I'm quite guilty of this as well. Back when I was a kid I got in the sinister D&D and roleplaying in general. I really loved the idealized fantasy worlds that they took place in, the magic, the knights, the whole deal. (On a side...

Woohoo!! *puts on disco music*

Can't say that I see anything positive about the curse, except for that one time that I was so keyed up I ran into traffic and yanked a girl out from in front of a bus and then had us both on the sidewalk so fast that her feet left the ground. There is that. And I mean.. well.. I certainly...

Well.. I don't know exactly how things are in France, but here in the US; a person's wealth is judged to be a measure of their worth... IE "wealthy people are good/poor people are bad." It follows that people who are doing well at work simply must have their shit together, and are not in need of...

Gotta go with Solara here. Do. Not. Go. Public. Because once that genii is out of the bottle, you'll never get it back in there. I don't know how big of a celebrity you might be, but this is true of everyone in all walks of life. You aren't responsible for anyone or anything other than...

Actually, there is a lot of validity to that story. Sadness and rumination can set off certain chemical responses in the brain, releasing endorphins in response to the painful feelings. I have to be careful when I listen to certain music, mainly The Cure, because it sets off such reverie that I...

Hmm. A difficult and tricky situation for sure. I've never had this happen, except with family members. I've always kept quiet about my PTSD except to life-long friends, and they are pretty cool about it. This may in part because almost all of my life-long friends have themselves been through...

Now if they would just make Boo-Berry cereal year-round instead of only for Halloween!! :grumpy:

Yay! Good job! :hug::hug:

I have a friend who sleeps very deeply, and as his past was fraught with trouble, has to be woken up very carefully, else he'll start flailing away at whoever is waking him. In his case, we kick him in his foot until he wakes (he refuses to sleep anywhere but the floor.) It's a little weird but...

Really don't know the answer, and I do more a co-consciousness sort of thing. I don't lose time, per se.. I just spend lots of it wrapped up in my alts individual worlds, then at some point come out of it. I liken it to being spirit-ridden, like in voodoo.. You know who you are, but somebody...

Thanks for your post. And aargh.. codependence is a really rough thing, because it can sneak up on you really easy. It masquerades as normal love and compassion, but in fact it's a strange form of mutual abuse. Lemme tell ya a story. There was this guy I knew back in college. He was a cool guy...

Heh. Yeah, sounds like that was good move. I'm sure he'll try to contact again soon, but just ignore him. Hell, I would block him through every avenue available, (Facebook, phone numbers, etc.) That way he may be able to rail against you, but you'll never know it, never respond, and never feed...

It's just symptoms, remind yourself of that. These aren't your own thoughts, they are a manifestations of an injury. I get this sort of thing very often at work, and it's always a massive pain in the ass to continue working despite it. Just put your head down and keep busy until it blows over...

Heya.. Number one, welcome to the forums. But I think we've all been there at some point. Honestly I think everyone everywhere is, sooner or later. I'm sorry that this is blowing up again for you, but you can get through it and back to normal. I sometimes worry about the same things. A...

Yes, anger can be used to great effect, as long as it doesn't develop into Rage. Capital R. Mine sometimes does, and is troublesome because it triggers a dissociation. But I think the key is keeping to anger that is rooted in the present, at least for me. I know that's kinda confusing. But...

Oh wow.. yeah, this didn't even occur to me until @WildMermaid brought it up about being a little. It's slightly off topic, but I know that one thing which drove my ex-wife crazy was that I seemed to be almost a child most of the time, but then wanted sex like a maniac. I think it disturbed her...

No offense, but... You may be trolling. All the posts here are so extreme that they denote either serious emotional troubles, or desperate desire for attention. Both are rooted in insecurity. As others have stated, get to a psychiatrist about these things. Otherwise you're just spinning your...

Meh... I don't really hold many expectations for life so much. At least I used not to. It's kinda weird. When I was a kid, at some point I just decided that life was simply absurd and that nothing I did mattered. So I didn't do much of anything except survive. Not that there's anything small...

Hmm... Well, I don't know what sort of job you're interested in, but there are civil services that help people find jobs. You can call the unemployment office and they can point you in the right direction. As for the confidence thing.. Well, that comes with practice, and I had to learn in a...

Hmm.. Aargh. Tough situation. It sounds to me like you are head over heels for this guy, even with all his troubles. But.. and it's a big but. Don't leave a stable situation for a person/thing that is themselves unstable. Stability and security are super important for children, and moving like...

Take it slow. As @Solara said, there is no rush. And tell him about it. If he's really so cool, he'll be down with just being friends for now. :)

I think @Lucycat is right, you didn't forgive him. And honestly, it doesn't sound like he deserves any forgiveness. I've heard lots about how forgiveness is more about setting yourself free rather than literally saying 'it's okay, it doesn't matter anymore'... Even if you can do that, I would...
