    Tips for catching your emotions?

    I wish there was something I could do to help ready it...exercise, eating well, etc, just something to make it stronger for when the time to recognize my feelings has come. I have actually been able to do it before for a brief time but was unable to keep it up unfortunately and I can't remember...

    Tips for catching your emotions?

    Yeah, I'd say so. A lot of the time while i was being abused I hadn't really felt anything. The thoughts of "I don't care that this is happening." and "This isn't ACTUALLY happening." Would sort of replace any feelings I would have or should have gotten. Now it's just kind of...well, I don't...

    Tips for catching your emotions?

    Basically, I have been having this problem where my emotions go by in in my head at the speed of light and it makes it very hard to do any kind of therapy if you can't tell your T how you're feeling. I've been attempting mindfulness for over a year now but i don't think it's working very well so...

    What does it feel like to not dissociate?

    I can barely remember what it was like; was wondering what it felt like for others to maybe jog my memory...and perhaps validate that I did infact stop.

    On the tip of your tongue sensation

    Is it possible to be so detached from yourself that you can't make out your own thoughts? Like say you're in an argument, and you can't make out what you want to say and you've got the on-the-tip-of-your-tongue kind of sensation, but you are thinking to yourself "why can't I make out what I want...

    In crisis - severe panic attacks for days now

    Gosh, I wish I could offer some reassurance other than just saying that I've been through this also (except I was having panic attacks every day for a month). But it did eventually go away and I've only had a few since. I've found that having a conversation with someone or multiple people helps...

    this is probably gonna sound like im plotting something but im curious if you have to be fired for it to count or does quitting for some reason also work?

    How do you prove you can't work?

    I struggle to see how work and school are different. You have to get up everyday at the exact same time, you do the exact same thing every day, you have a lot of responsibilities, you have to deal with people and pressure and to me it's the same thing...the thing is with work is, I can't leave...

    How do you prove you can't work?

    The impression I got from it was that they put you in a typical working environment and then watched to see what you'd do essentially. I suppose having a job that wasn't overwhelming like school was wouldn't be too bad. I did more research and didn't realize this was a regular thing with them...

    How do you prove you can't work?

    Because I couldn't do school.

    How do you prove you can't work?

    I am very confused at this situation...Recently my grandmother has been trying to apply me for disability (I have severe anxiety and can't make appointments, order food, etc over the phone) and the attorney said that I have to go through vocational therapy before I can apply because I've never...

    Is dissociation involuntary or voluntary?

    I ask because it's honestly so hard to even identify when it's happening, and if I do identify it I almost immediately forget I did and I cannot figure out how to fight it and I'll be stuck like that for a long time. Infact, today was the first time in I think a year I wasn't dissociating 24/7...

    Whole family sharing the same therapist

    My siblings have already seen both of the boring therapists and don't like them. The issue seems to have been solved, though. At the moment the clinical supervisor said that they are not allowed to deny them care so he HAS to see them. However, they are in the process of hiring new people within...

    Whole family sharing the same therapist

    Ultimately he said he will not see them if it makes me uncomfortable, but I've yet to say it because I feel guilty. The other therapists in the clinic are really boring and dull, and he seems to be the only 'good' one. I know my mom would be too lazy to find a completely different clinic to send...

    Whole family sharing the same therapist

    So my mother recently took my two sister to see my therapist, and it infuriates me to no end. I don't know why, it's not jealousy. I get jealous of his other clients and it is not the same feeling I get in regards to this. To me this seems like a bad idea and I'm not sure why. When she texted me...

    Came Out As Gender Questioning To My Therapist And Her Response Kind Of Sucked

    I think she brought up a couple good points, and that she is being realistic with you. There are plenty of cases of people getting sexual reassignment surgery and deeply regretting it, and there are some articles saying that up to 20% of people who transition regret it. There are also plenty of...

    Can A Memory Be Too Terrifying?

    I always feel like I'm running away from something in my brain, and today a few minutes ago I think I had my first flashback ever and now I know why I was running from it. That was awful. I am now eating a mug brownie to make myself feel better. I can NOT go back to that EVER again.

    Dissasociation "periods"?

    YES I am afraid to talk about it because I don't want to be wrongfully diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder or something. I often have periods of anxiety where I'm always edgey and I feel clamy and cold even when it's warm in the room. In contrast I get really hot when I have my 'high' period. Does...
