After going to my last therapy session I have been struggling some with thoughts of hurting/killing myself, I don't want to but like for instances when I am driving my car I think about pulling out in front of somebody in the hopes that I would be killed or atleast hurt. I don't want to but out...

I have alot of dreams about people dying. Sometimes it's people I know sometimes I don't know them. Some of the people are friends of mine now, and others are classmates from elementary school I haven't seen in years. When the people die it is not just a normal passing, the people die...

On a side note, I guess it kind of freaks me out, that my therapist knows almost what I am thinking with out me even saying it. It's like he can read my mind sometimes. I don't like that I can't put on my I am tough nothing bothers me and I am fine face, without him blowing my cover. He knows...

Thank you for the insight kers, the part about saying "I don't know" as a sign that I am avoiding something makes all to much sense to me. I guess I get that part and although it may mean that I need to look at what I am avoiding, how can a person avoid everything in there life. What I am...

So I have been to two therapy sessions with a new psychologist, so far everything is going better than with the previous therapist. This one is taking things much much slower than the previous guy, which I am thankful for. It takes a great deal of effort for me to talk about any of the abuse...

Well guys, I finally got up the nerve to call and make an appointment with a different psychologist. This one is at a totally different facility then the previous fruitloop. This therapist specializes in ptsd, he is a fairly young/new therapist but I was getting nowhere with the other guy so I...

Ok so today I had a appointment with my psychologist, it is only the 4th time I have been there, at the end of the session he tells me to make an appointment for a month out and after that it is up to me if I want to continue. What the hell I am I suppose to do???? I don't/didn't ever want to...

I know how that goes, I don't really want to go to therapy. I know I need to/should go because it will help in the long run, and so I am forcing myself to go and it's a very slow process, because to tell someone what happened to me is to admit to the world that it's real and happened. If I can...

Thanks for the advice about how to keep myself sain so to speak. Last night was very rough, I have a therapy appointment coming up and I am to write a letter to my abuser, well I tried doing this and in the middle of it I started to get such a bad panic attack and was really thinking about...

I guess it just hard for me to talk about all this because the therapist hasn't given me any resources on how to cope with all the flooding and flashbacks that I have been having since going to therapy. I don't know how to handle things, after every session I feel so numb, and like I am having...

I just have a quick question for you guys, why in therapy do you have to go in to exact detail of what happened to you? I am dealing with ptsd from incestual abuse for many years, and my therapist wants me to describe the events as specifically and exact as to what went on during the abuse...

So I went back to my therapist after a little break, and now I am even more confused about why or how this is going to help. Obviously if I went to the therapist and then it took me months to go back I was having trouble dealing with all my issues, well is it right for the psychologist to make...

Why would you want to think about your trauma and talk about it, it is a horrific event for me that lasted for 6 years to be sexually abused by my older brother, and now he is dead so I am also dealing with those issues as well. Why would I want to talk to people about the fact he made me give...

So I know I need help for my ptsd, but I don't like the idea of talking to someone about what happened. In therapy (I have only been there once) I guess you are suppose to talk about yourself and your trauma and feelings and all that stuff. Well I don't like talking about my feelings or...

ok so I understand that therapy helps, but WHY? What does it do for you? I have only been to a therapist one time, but what help does it do to make someone talk about there trauma. All talking about my ptsd was make things worse, my antidepressant isn't working anymore, I am having thoughts of...

I just am not sure about seeing a therapist again, I am not completely ruling it out, I guess I just don't understand how telling people about what happened helps someone. I am also nervous about what kind of therapy the psychologist would want to use. Since I only went once, the topic about...

more of my story Jen, and everyone else thanks for the encouraging/supporting words. No I do not at the moment have plans to go back to the psychologist, I think I would need all the antianxiety meds in the world to go through with that. I don't see how talking to someone and actually...

I am new to this site, and have recently been diagnosed with ptsd, although I guess I have known I have had it for many years. It all started when I was 9 years old and my older brother forced me to have sex with him. This went on for 6 more years, throughout this time he would force me to...
