I have this recurring overwhelming feeling that I might all of a sudden lose control over myself and my body. Not sure what that would look like. It usually sends me in a panic, especially if I'm in public or in a bus, train, etc since there are other people around. This sensation doesn't last...

Recently I started to reflect more about my childhood and I remembered certain things I never thought about before but I'm not sure what meaning to give them... I'm really embarrassed by what I'm about to write, even if it may seem like not a big deal at all. Well, throughout my childhood my...

I struggle a lot with trusting my memories in general, not just traumatic ones. There was a time in my life if I had an important conversation with someone I would replay it in my mind over and over again to be sure I heard it right and understood the message, even if I just finished talking to...

Hello! It's the first time I'm posting on these forums and just by reading your stories I could relate a lot. :) Maybe you could give me some insights about an experience I had a while ago: I was sharing the story of my life with someone (a mentor but not a therapist, never went to therapy) and...
