That's fantastic. Thanks to all who donated

I needed these today. Thanks. @Freddyt, you are a king at the dad jokes

I know I disappeared from this thread. Life got in the way. I definitely appreciated everyone's replies. I've decided I am not going to forgive the dad. That actually gives me peace and allows me to let go of some stuff. Forgiveness is too much like condoning what happened. I don't. It was not...

Welcome, this is a great place. Folks can be amazingly supportive. You can find people here who have experience your trauma even when it's unique. And they are honest. That means sometimes blunt and will say things you may not want to hear but will be beneficial if you can take it on board. And...

Your posts give me lots of feelings. Some I can't really access right now. Oh this. Yeah. One of my parts (I have DID) spent a lot of time trying to convince my T of this. And it's not as huge a factor in my life, but I still believe it on some level. And I understand it's therapists job to...

@somerandomguy I am so sorry for your loss. It's incredibly hard to lose a furry family member. It is clear you loved Ferdinand very much and took good care of him

Giving my dog some pats and scritches

Good timing to read (reread) your posts.. And yesterday was a lower pain day for a change, so I did more stuff. I even got hyper mutt out for an actual walk out in nature (had to take rest breaks but we did it). Woke up really sore today. Also haven't slept well at all this week. Apparently that...

I appreciate all your replies. I'm off work. And my mood has been super low. I don't get it. I feel like I should be feeling more positive now that I'm not pushing through work. Instead I feel unmotivated and down. I haven't had any leave/disability pay approved. I have to jump through hoops...

Thank you all. So I did call the doctor this morning and left a message. They reached back out and do think I should take a medical leave. I thought I'd feel relieved but I just sort of feel like a failure. I don't know. I still haven't talked to my manager. Left her a message. I don't think it...

Nope. Only if they are going under anesthesia.

I work at veterinary clinic. We have people sign in electronically but there is an option to paper sign. And while the vast majority of people don't read, don't think about what they are signing, I have had clients who did and one client who would not agree to everything that she was signing. We...

I guess maybe this is an accountability thread? The short summary for those that don't know. I've had chronic back issues for years. Had one surgery. Last October I hurt my back again. Tried everything and conclusion was I need a spinal fusion. That got delayed because of covid. It is about 3...

I was just talking to my therapist about this. I have struggled so much for years with believing myself. I believe much more than I used to, but there are things I still doubt. It's a process. The flashbacks come from somewhere. There's a reason they are happening. It's funny, I have no trouble...

I can relate. And that's a lot of hard things to deal with. You matter. You mattered then and you matter now. I am sorry your mom couldn't give you what you need.

I would definitely talk to her about it, if you're up to it. It does feel off to me. I would be uncomfortable if that was happening in my therapy sessions. And a friend (who has mental health issues) have had a conversation that's continued over the years about how unhelfpful "everyone...

It's a big transition but it sounds like you have a good plan in place. How did it go?

It's going to be hard for us to say if it's abusive or not. It seems like it is something that has impacted you though, so that matters. I have a similar memory with my dad. As he was also sexually abusive to me in other ways, that instant also feels abusive (not sure if that makes sense). How...

Yes, this is definitely helpful. // I asked Tat and he is coming out when I have my surgery. So that's really good. It was hard to ask but he was great. I was kind of a wreck yesterday. I talked to my surgeon's PA. Most like surgery will have to be 9/6. Oh well. She is going to talk to him...

Was really low. Trying to pull myself out of that. I am a planner/doer, so focusing on that instead of the wait will probably help me. What I've done so far- Left a message with my doctor's PA trying to get clarification on what timing the 6 weeks is based on (day I tested positive? day I...

I totally get it, because I do it. What I notice in your posts is a lot of labeling- "shameful", "bad", "sneaky", etc. Part of working on behaviors can be taking away, or changing the labels. That can take some of the power away from the behaviors and make them easier to manage. Yes. And you...

Thanks all. I really appreciate it. I did leave a message asking if I could be put on the wait list. I also should talk to her again and clarify the timing. It seems like she's counting 6 weeks from when my surgery is scheduled, not 6 weeks from when I got covid. That doesn't make a lot of sense...

I'm curious as to what you want to get from a diagnosis and what you want to get from therapy?

So, as some of you know, I was scheduled to get spinal surgery July 5th. The long story short is that I now have covid and because of that they are postponing mu surgery until September 6th. It's been such a long haul. I've been pushing myself hard to keep working and get things done prior to...

I'm sorry. That's super disappointing. Harder to deal with the disappointment when you feel so miserable. Sending out support and healing your way.
