    Increase In Symptoms Since Decrease In Therapy

    Hi guys, As you may remember, last time I posted how my therapist's clinic only allows clients to come in once per week because "some healthcare providers promise to pay for more than once per week but don't." Anyway, I mentioned how she was the best therapist I've had, however, since I...

    A Choice Between Amount Of Sessions Vs Therapist

    I used to see my therapist twice a week but her clinic now only allows anyone to see their T. once a week because some healthcare providers ended up not paying the clinic. So I'm lost. Twice a week was vital to my recovery and I've only ever done twice a week in more than just this clinic. The...

    What Are The Benefits Of Saying Your Trauma Out Loud And Confronting It?

    I Forgot About My Trauma And I'm In Therapy

    I see my T twice a week and she's on vaca. I keep a daily journal and just in the last few days I've been reading and referencing things I no longer remember. What do I do?

    Question Of Hospitalization

    Hi guys. I'm hoping for some insight. Here's the thing. I have DID as well as episodes of severe dissociation. I don't know if this is one of the symptoms of either, but there are moments of temporary improvements. The other day, my T and I were discussing me going into a hospital for one month...

    Struggling To Stay Calm

    I'm not really sure what I'm looking for here, other than maybe just to be heard. This week has bee one of the worst weeks I've experienced. This morning, I woke up crying for about two and a half hours. I hate it when I can't hold in my loneliness and calling friends or family isn't an option...

    Working With A Personal Trainer Having Ptsd

    I have recently hired a personal trainer. This trainer helps me workout, exercise, etc. However I have come to realize that the more I am with this trainer the act of doing these physical exercises triggers me immensely. On the other hand I love the trainer themselves. Do I tell this trainer...

    Ptsd and paranoia

    Hi guys. I'm not sure what to do or if anyone knows has experienced this before. I'm having horrible delusions and paranoia. I've never felt such harsh symptoms.

    DID A struggle between personalities

    So, I've been with my current therapist for a few months now. Going to see her twice a week has to be the highlight of my entire existence right now, lol. It's my safe place. Plus, she's like a magician, haha. She reads me and seems to know me more than I know myself, most of the time. The only...

    BPD Why are people with borderline personality seen as bad people?

    A long time ago, I was diagnosed with Borderline PD (Personality Disorder) and I hadn't taken it well. I didn't fully understand what it was and why people developed it and quite frankly, I still don't really understand it. Looking it up, though, there were so many YouTube videos that were...

    Struggling To Recover -"you're Not Trying Hard Enough"

    This is just a rant in the hopes that people can relate and provide their own feedback or experiences, I'm not looking for any specific type of answer, but I'm hoping I'm not alone. I have the most confusing relationship with my mother. When I told her (it took all of my strength when I did...

    Sufferer Cycles

    A bit about my trauma: After years of hiding and repressing my past, it caught up to me. Now, everything I once knew is unrecognizable; the face I see in the mirror is a stranger. I was... abused. Drugged. Emotionally, physically and sexually--for a year. I once was a successful freelancer...
