Thank you so much @RussH. But suing him would be more trouble than it is worth. Im ok with my decision. Good luck @FridayJones

Possibly not but your relationship is likely to be just as destructive to your health and wellbeing. Long term it could cause serious psychological damage.

Love the South Park video Anarchy.

I'm continuously working on improving my life. A few years ago my ex damaged part of my face hitting me with an object. What upset me the most was afterwards when he was "sorry" he laughed and said "at least now I know that no one else will ever want you". At the time I believed him. I have...

Regarding cholesterol I've read studies that claim cholesterol intake and high cholesterol levels are not Linked. http://chriskresser.com/cholesterol-doesnt-cause-heart-disease

If you are feeling this bad, I think you should talk to your therapist about it. That is a long time between sessions. I would have thought that such a break would only be for people who are stable. If you are suicidal I think you need to be seen more regularly. Would seeing a different...

@seedling do you think that consuming less sugar has influenced your energy or concentration in anyway?

Has anyone given up sugar? I've been considering it. I wondered if anyone had found it beneficial.

I think everyone feels like this at times. I don't watch the news anymore. The media places too much attention on the wrong things. I'm not saying that recent events on the news aren't devastating, particularly to those involved, but in reality these kinds of incidents are rare. There is more...

I sorry to learn that you have suffered so much from what happened to you.You have made some wonderful achievements. I hope you find this forum valuable. Welcome.

One of my new years resolutions is to eat more nutritious meals. I want to lose a couple of kilos too. I started today after reading this post which gave me a little nudge. Just got back from shopping and the fridge looks like a rainbow!

Agreed Darren! I love our Aussie Christmases, beach cricket, longer days, humidity, Frisbee, even the flies I dont mind lol.

You have a great attitude Radise. The lamp sounds lovely. I hope that you have an early spring.

I'm having a great holiday too! Happy holidays everyone!

I don't have alters but hope I can be of some help anyway. I would be very upset too. Your have had your boundries violated. Whatever you feel is valid. What did your husband say about it? I hope your therapist is able to get in touch soon.

I'm sorry, I misread part of your post. Glad to know that you are standing up for yourself in choosing not to allow this guy to continue to be part of your life. With all you have endured, you continue to advocate for yourself even during this time of vulnerability. That just goes to show how...

Rightkindofme, I am so inspired to read your post. I honestly think the world would be a better place if every child were to have an opportunity like this. You are teaching your children that different is not something to be feared but to be explored whole heartedly. Kids need opportunities to...

Welcome to the forum. You are not just a weight on someone shoulders. Please don't tell yourself that. You deserve to be loved and respected.

What an ordeal. Pancreatitis is agony and also very serious. Also not always linked to alcoholism. Have you had problems with Gallstones in the past? I hope you can make amends with your beloved if that is what you both want. It sounds like you could use some TLC at the moment.

I don't allow myself to get attached to therapists. I prefer to keep that distance between us and just work on a professional level. My feelings towards my most recent therapist are that she is an interesting, intelligent person who I enjoy the company of, that's it. The thought of hugging or...

I find the best way to spot a red flag is to look at the intent. Disrespect is the most obvious warning sign. If the person is mocking, belittling or harming me intentionally (physically or emotionally) that is a red flag. If they do it others, particularly people they are close to, that is also...

This is often so true. I've learnt not to make a living out of the things I really love. Maybe you just need to jump in and try a few things. Could you volunteer in some of the fields that interest you? It might help you to make an educated decision before outlaying money for courses or...

Wow congratulations on all the hard work and accomplishment If you continue at this rate I'm sure you'll be successful in whichever path you choose. In some ways I think that surviving trauma can put us at an advantage. I know I am often stronger and better prepared to cope with a variety of...

A parent learns that their child has been horribly murdered. They read or witness the killers confession and are never the same again. A man learns his wife was trapped and burnt to death in a car accident. Those are traumas. Unless I am missing something here, I can see how these examples...
