So I am not suicidal, I have been this last week though (seeing my therapist 2-3 times a week) but that's not why I am asking this question. During my suicidal crisis last week the realization that if I were to be successful in harming myself I would be buried by my brother (the abuser) hit me...

The therapist I've seen for just about 5 yrs wants me to see someone else to work on EMDR therapy. I am so nervous about this, as he says that seeing a new therapist would mean I would no longer see him. I try to be tough and act like that doesn't bother me but feeling really upset over not...

Not sure what has been going on lately. I don't know if I should be worried but lately I am afraid to talk to people sometime do to the fact I don't know if the event actually happened or if the event just happened in my dreams. In other words I am not sure if I actually talked to these people...

Why does it seem like every time I go to the doctor for something they throw my symptoms back at me and say its from being abused. I could accidentally step on a nail and go in with it sticking out of my foot and the damn doctor would blame it on being abused. Just seems like every time I go...

So I want to quit therapy. I have decided that I just want to stop, so I cancelled all my appointments. Now my therapist calls me and he thinks I need to come in and discuss this. I don't want to I just want to move on, but he is insists that I should talk to him about being referred to...

I have been in therapy for nearly 2 years now and I am debating if I should continue or not. What I originally went for does seem to be a lot better, yet I know there is more to work on. I dont know what to do, continue or be done? Before I have wanted to quit but that was avoidance because I...

If I want to kill myself or anyone else wants to what the big deal? Seriously besides the fact that it affects other people what's so wrong about killing yourself. I understand that most of the time wanting to or following through with suicidal ideation is the fact the person wants to end...

So the last few days hadn't been very good, I had been contemplating killing myself. I am fine now, and that's most of my question how does this thought come and go so quickly. 2 days of suicidal thoughts doesn't go very fast for me it's hell on earth to get through this but how can I go from...

Has anyone had to fill out a SCHEMA questionare and then had to do therapy to work on what the results of the questions? I was asked to fill one out and now have done some research on it, and am totally dreading the therapy techniques that go along with this type of therapy. I guess I am...

Does any one use this drug or have used it in the past? The psychiatrist I see, which I do not like and do not trust one bit want's to put me on this. I am very hesitant I know of the side effects and they are not very pleasing, I think I would rather deal with the depression and ptsd then the...

Because of my work schedule changing I have to decide if I want/need to continue seeing a psychologist. I am just not able at the moment to take time off for the appointments, it would only be a temporary situation, so I could eventually go back to weekly sessions. Or if needed I can possibly...

Well let's just say I have not had a very good few days. I finally went to the psychiatrist for medication adjustment/first time assessment, and things did not go so well. I hate the doctor and never want to go back again, but I am being forced to go which makes me want to go even less. The...

Anyone tried ritalin for their depression/ptsd issues?

I am sure a lot of you have or do see a psychiatrist, and I know they prescribe meds but what is the point in seeing one if your regular doctor prescribes them? I guess I am asking because I have always just went to my primary for my depression meds, and now my therapist wants me to see a...

So I thought I was doing good with all my ptsd/depression/suicidal thoughts but today I cut my self with a razor blade. Not deeply or anything, it barely drew blood but the fact that I did this scares the hell out of me. Also the fact that the cutting felt good, made me feel better for a...

I have had suicidal thoughts pretty much as long as I can remember...I have told my therapist about the recent ones and today told him about the ones I have had this week, anyways to me it's like a normal part of life to have them. It to me is almost no big deal since I have had them for so...

Does anyone have any advice on ECT therapy-good or bad? As well as nerve stimulator therapy? I was introduced to the idea of either one of those treatments today, and frankly from what I have read they both scare the crap out of me.

The discussion in therapy today was of how I am afraid to be around children because I think I will molest them, because it was done to me. I have read and heard that people who are abused are more likely to abuse, when I am around kids, I don't have any sexual thoughts or anything. I often...

I have been stewing over going to therapy all week, last week my therapist made me so mad I just want to quit. This I know is the cowards way out because what he said is the truth I just can't bare to hear the truth or to believe it. I am having such a hard time because I don't view myself...

So a few days ago I revealed to a family member the fact that I have ptsd and that a sibling had molested me for a number of years. After this I threw up numerous times, and although I haven't yet I have had many thoughts of harming myself. No thoughts of suicide, just thoughts of cutting or...

There is a part of me deep down within that wants to take back my life. That little nine year old who was abused by her brother, wants to come out and say listen here you piece of shit life. I am ready to end all this ptsd shit. I don't want to be taken advantage of, I am tired of being...

Even though this weekend was the 4th of July, and I was with family to celebrate I still have had some very troubling thoughts. I was on my way home today and I just had finished a book, in the book one of the main characters dies on the 23rd of July. Now I have this dreadful weird feeling...

Ok I am not suicidal or anything right now, but I am so tired of having thoughts of harming myself or killing myself. Everyday for atleast 3 weeks now I have had thoughts of killing myself everyday. I am so tired and scared of this, I want these thoughts to go away. Granted about 2 weeks...

Due to me admitting I had been close to committing suicide at my therapy session last week, I have another appointment tomorrow. My regular pscychologist is out so I have an appointment with someone else and I am so nervous and anxious. I do not want to go at all. Beings I admitted to the...

What is the point of a no-suicide contract? I mean I know what the point is, to prevent suicide but how is that suppose to help anything? I guess I don't really see the point, maybe if one is at the brink of suicide it would help. I guess I don't have the experience of working with one I...
