This week has been very very horrible. I just want to give up on everything therapy, work, life everything! I try and try and shit just comes back and slaps me in the face again, nothing I do ever seems right in the eyes of others. I give something my all and to others it is not good enough...

Could you see a therapist within her office, so your still getting help but not going to far for the help. I know if my therapist can't see me for awhile he will set me up with someone within his practice just to keep the process going, and also to add some new prespective to the situation. So...

I just have a question if other people experience this in their therapy sessions. I have a hard time accepting the fact that the therapist cares, that someone would give a shit about me and actually show compassion for what I have been through. He feels sorry, not for me but for the fact that I...

I don't think it is the therapist that is the problem, he is trying to help, and so far I think he has been doing a good job even though I don't think I have seen much progress. I think I would be mad at any therapist, I guess I shouldn't be mad at him, it is not his fault, but I am putting my...

I reluctantly started therapy because a doctor referred me there after saying my pelvic pain was basically all in my head from having been abused, and that was the only way he said to help the pain. I don't know anything about therapy and am going into this with a blindfold on so to speak, and...

I guess maybe I don't want to change, maybe I should say the hell with therapy and this site and go back to being me. It wasn't a great life but it was mine and I was surviving so the f*** with ptsd and all the shit it entails, I am thinking I will just go back to dealing with things on my own...

I am just a stupid idiot who can't change, because I don't want to I apparently like myself as a stupid idiotic freak who no one likes so I might as well stop therapy now. I think I will cancel my appointments what the hell is the point I am to stupid for therapy even, I can't do that right...

I guess when the therapist told me that he thinks I don't want to change the views I have of myself, it made me feel like a hopeless looser who should just stop therapy right then and there because I am not going to ever change. After therapy the other day, I don't know that I want to go back...

I guess I see it as I am there at the damn therapist office, and I am willingly but reluctantly going back every week so that means I want to change. The psychologist just pissed me off because he says he thinks I don't want to change, because I don't see myself positively. I see myself as a...

Someone remind me why the hell I am torturing myself and going to counseling? My therapist today just irritated the crap out of me and made me so angry. Everything today that he said just made me mad, he was assuming and making theroies about why he thinks I don't want to change. He thinks...

I also have experienced more intense vivid dreams after starting on ssri's, and my therapist tells me that dreams are your mind telling you that you need to get something out. You must talk about your trauma, for the dreams to stop you have to talk about what happened. Even if it is not the...

Does anyone have any experiences with this drug, good or bad?

In my recent therapy sessions we have been working on me telling my story and I am having a hard time not blocking out my feelings. As I am speaking and telling the therapist my memories, I can't help but block everything out, how does one get around this? I am trying not to block everything...

TLight I understand what your saying and don't find it negative as that's how I feel for the most part as well. Before I started going to therapy to "heal my mind" as the one doctor told me, I wasn't having suicidal thoughts and flashbacks and panic attacks and all the other stuff that goes...

How is someone to process their trauma, if they don't know specific details of what happened. I know that I was molested, obviously and can tell you vague details of what happened, but like to tell someone sights and smells or sounds from the incidents I could not tell you. I know why this is...

I was not sure as to where this post fit the best so I put it here! My question is on grounding techniques, what do you guys use to stop your anxiety? My therapist recommended deep breathing, but I find that to be dumb. Sorry to those who use it and have it help them, but I want a grounding...

kers-no need to apologize. Also I am sorry if my post sounded snippy, but no I was just explaining that I don't have to deal with that weirdo psychologist anymore so his odd ways are not an issue to me anymore.

As I have posted in other places, I have started with a new therapist this one is a lot better than the previous ass who made me suicidal and then proceeded to make fun of me and call me a coward even after I had told him I had been thinking of killing myself after the initial meeting with him...

So I have read some posts where people have recommended different books on ptsd, I was wondering what the names of some good books on recovery are? I have checked my local library and book stores, and they have completely outdated or no books at all. So I guess I would have to order from the...

Farine-hugs through computer land are acceptable, but in real life that is a whole different story! For some reason the therapy session calmed my nerves I guess and has made me more mellow today. I suppose that could be because I have some time before the next one, and probably by next Tuesday...

Thanks for the words of advice, the appointment today went a lot better than I thought. Although today it was even harder for me to talk (not that anyday is easy), but I could tell I was more distant and it was harder for me to talk about anything, I just wanted to run out the door and never go...

Help! Tomorrow I have an appointment with the psychologist and right now I am starting to have a panic attack over this. My stomach is in knots and my heart is starting to race and I am beginning to have very shallow heavy breathing. I didn't even have this kind of trouble with my first 3...

The days since my last therapy session have been hard for me, I am just having a lot of emotions and thoughts running through my head, and for awhile things had kind of been better. I am also very aggitated this week, everyone is pissing me off and I just want to be left alone, but that's not...

How is someone suppose to "work through these dreams," just by talking about the abuse and what they mean in comparison to the dreams? I guess though, I do sleep fine until I wake up from these horrible dreams, then I can't seem to fall back to sleep because the dreams freak me out and make me...

I actually did try the drawing thing last night, although I didn't really draw, just writing different words and phrases that came to my head seemed to help. Instead of keeping those words and phrases rattling around in my head for me to ponder, putting them on paper seemed to help "get rid of...
