I no longer can view this on Google Chrome because it says of your security certificate. Says it is out of date. I managed to get on on IE even though it too recommended that I didn't. Just thought you should know.

I would love to find recommendations for tea brands. I am looking to put together a gift of tea flavors, for Christmas, for my father in law. Problem is, I don't drink Tea. I'm a coffee girl. I would love to, perhaps, get him kinds he has never had before, so I am willing to buy out of the...

When I was a young girl, my sister and I experimented sexually. She was younger then myself. My mother had some magazines that we followed. This was after the babysitter possibly molested me(another story). I never forced her and when she called it quits, we quit. Some would say I was a...

I couldn't find the proper thread for this so, while I am posting my dream(s), other's are welcomed to share their dreams. This can be a place to just talk about our dreams. Yesterday I had a horrible dream of when I was a child and in it my mother was raging mad, beating me, in front of my...

I'm starting this thread because sometime's I just need a place to vent where I am not angry, but disappointed or sad. Like, today, I am disappointed for my son who was really hoping to get play time tomorrow in football but probably will not. He feels that he has shown them he has improved...

Happy Birthday Gizmo! Hope your year is filled with much happiness, you deserve it!

Does the gender of your therapist matter to you? I have had both male and females that have been good therapists. However, I prefer female and I am female. I was abused sexually by both a male and female, but I grew up around strong women. I think that is why I prefer female therapists.

There are many artists and writers on this site. Sometimes, well at least for myself, it helps to find out what other people want to hear or see. So I would like to hear, what type of things would you like to read if you were reading an article? What would you like to see out there in the art...

Today I had to speak with a nurse about my various medical issues in preparation for surgery. As she went down the line of my physical issues, she never brought up any mental issues. It wasn't until we got into my medication, towards the end, that she heard two meds that either she wasn't...

I heard it was your birthday. ;) Happy Birthday! Hope that this coming year is the year that all wounds are healed, all dreams come true, and it is all that you hoped for! Have a fabulous day!

I've noticed, especially lately, that my dark thoughts hit at night. I can feel pretty good during the day, or not think of harming myself, but, the minute I crawl into bed the bad thoughts come. It's not that I am busy during the day to keep those thoughts away. I'm just not sure why this...

I was asked, by my T, to write about a traumatic event that occurred when I was 7. It involved the death of three of my friends at once. I have written about it but I think that it was more matter of fact. Just like I talk about it. She feels that this event shaped me and how I view and...

Okay, this is going on in my neck of the woods and I find it really disgusting and depressing. It was brought out that a local Pediatrician was involved in molesting Boy Scouts back in 1987, of which he admitted to once they started investigating. I think this investigating started recently...

Okay, after clarifying that detachment/emotional numbing is a part of dissociation, I decided to post this thread here. My T happens to believe that the death of my friends has effected my whole life and continues to do so. She isn't the first one to point this out to me. I had a therapist...

Over the last few months we have had a few Representatives basically putting their foot in their mouths about rape and pregnancy. Once they put in a qualifier for their stance on abortion it stopped being about abortion and more about the view on rape. The more I hear of individuals doing this...

I have a hard time when people tell me to toughen up, get over it, move on, buck up, don't be so sensitive. They probably mean well but it just brings up negative feelings in me. Then, whatever I was trying to deal with is overcome with my cringing to what is being said to me. I guess, in...

I thought it would be interesting to post the names of famous people who were diagnosed with mental illness. Sometimes it is cathartic to know of those who you would never guess had some form of illness. I think most of us would be surprised by some of the people. I do not know how many...

I have almost always written prose and poetry. Ever since I was a little kid. For what ever reasons I stopped after I had my first son (16 years ago). It was like a piece of me was missing. I just couldn't do it. I had always thought of publishing my work but stopped because I didn't think...

Hello. My name is Britt and I am in my 40's. I came across this site while doing research on social isolation and decided to bookmark it for myself. Currently I am suffering from deep depression and anxiety. They blame the majority on the traumas I experienced as a child. I did have inpatient...
