Hi, working on something in a book my psychiatrist gave me, and came to the section in which I am to identify my core beliefs. Both he and my counselor advised me to go back to the beginning and not do that section yet. My core belief about myself is so bad I get depressed. Any advice on how one...

I poured my heart out to two siblings who don't believe me and invited them to join me in a session with my counselor. My brother skirted the issue but at least answered. My sister wanted to meet with my counselor first, which of course my counselor wouldn't do. Tonight I explained it's not...

Asked my siblings, two of whom don't believe about the incest, if they'd meet with me and my counselor. I began by saying I miss being close to them. They said no. The sibling who experienced abuse cried. I am shut down and can't function.

In medical study, taking esketamine for depression. I have PTSD, a lot. Anyone else taking this med?

Woke up having a nightmare that my father (incest person) was giving me to other men. Had a severe panic attack that lasted more than 1/2 hour. It was horrible.

Today I got out the words that as a child I found my father (incest) disgusting and that I hated him. That sounds like such a bad thing to say as an adult, but my counselor pointed out that evil must be met with passion. This was a very big step for me. I find that part of me is relieved.

My psychiatrist put me on Effexor. Has anyone experienced any side effects, and if so, what were they?

Hi- I don't know what the heck happened but I am so depressed it's unbelievable. Started on Thanksgiving; saw my counselor yesterday; told to call my psy.; he called me during school (I couldn't talk about it) and so I have an appt. on Dec. 8. Just hoping for prayers/support to snap out of this...

I am having a meeting tomorrow with my superior (I am a nun) and plan to tell her that I have an ED. I want to tell her what not to say to me about it. Suggestions?

The trigger I live with- we have an excellent superior and when she's home I am fine. She went somewhere for the weekend and my anxiety went up and I took a pill. Then I was extremely anxious as I had to let her know something about a schedule she wouldn't like and my entire body was shaking...

Hi, I am a Sister and have been triggered these past few weeks waiting for my new assignment. Every year we receive a card asking us to serve somewhere. The Superiors have been meeting with me beforehand about the assignments. But not this year, I guess. We received an email saying we are...

I took the Liebowitz test and found out that I have severe social anxiety syndrome. This in addition to clinical depression, PTSD, slight OCD and as I found out last week an eating disorder. I feel like a big worthless mess-up. Just venting.

I am living with a very difficult person. If we try to talk, she says her thing angrily and when I try to say something she says she doesn't want to hear it. There are other things. Well, due to my being triggered by her regarding the incest, things have gone badly when I drive her places. I...

My APRN told me they have been worried for awhile that I am anorexic. I told my therapist this and based on the answers I gave her she said I am on a slippery slope to anorexia. I have PTSD and clinical depression and she told me this often happens. Has anyone else had this experience? What...

I am a survivor of long term incest, molestation from a couple of boys, inappropriate touch from a friend's dad, a stranger rape. I am wondering-How about if I wouldn't normally let a guy in my pants when sober and then when drunk allow it? Penetration with no foreplay. Painful. Angry right...

Hi, I have been diagnosed with clinical depression and ptsd. I am forgetful about things and even last night I didn't add correctly. A Sister has been going every Monday to an appt. and I didn't know where she went. I forgot twice how to get to my psychologist's office. I went on a field...

I am having a very difficult time being present. It's like I am not here in 2015. It's embarrassing when dealing with others. I am forgetful and can't even add correctly. Recently I was pretty bad depression-wise and my counselor is having me email her every day to check in. She's aware of...

Does anyone ever feel like they don't know where their hands are?

Talk about anxiety. I am living with someone who is a constant trigger and I have no choice in the matter. I am a nun and the Superiors decide who lives where. At counseling this is most of what we discuss. She is trying to get me through a few more months. I have made it known to the...

Today in counseling I could see the innocence of victims but cannot apply it to myself. I was saying it was a choice (incest long term) and the counselor was trying to get me to understand that the compassion towards the victims I know, who are teens, should apply to myself and that it's...
