I understand what you're saying. Hearing a compliment almost freaks me out. None of this is easy. I didn't expect it to be. However, when someone tells me "life is hard" my BP rises! I'm pushing 60 yrs! You think I don't know life is hard? I know people are trying to help so I usually just...

It is very difficult to learn, improve, and move forward, even with super tiny steps, when one cannot find a therapist who "gets it!" I to have a lengthy trauma history. Most from long ago no longer bother me to my knowledge anyway. The most recent trauma I'm "living with" so to speak, is...

Realizing I needed help was a bit freeing. However, getting help I ask and have even begged for is a completely different story! Doctors refusing to treat me. Saying a certain lab test will be done and is not- TWICE! Doctor forgetting labs were ordered and at my appt to discuss lab results...

I've had a similar issue with 2 therapist. Pushing me to forgive those who hurt me and even telling me I wasn't the only victim! No empathy, no compassion, nothing except trying to make me learn to "think positive" NO matter how I was "needing to feel" at that time. One of those therapist is...

I've gone through dark periods in which that is the only thing I prayed. For me, it hasn't gone away. I just do my best to pray for others first and I'll usually fall asleep before I get to me. I often become angry because God won't answer my prayer. As long as I can stay busy and no big...

When I'm doing my best to tell my feelings and I feel unheard, I over-explain! If I'm still feeling I'm not heard, I shut down. I've been trying to figure out the reasons so many try to force others to not express emotions. I've stuffed so much for so long! I want to "feel" each emotion, yet...

Thank you. I'll pray and cross my fingers! (I'm just learning this platform and I'm starving! I think I made a post instead of replying. Lol!

Thank you! I'll pray n cross my fingers

Mushroom walks into a bar. Bartender- Sorry, you're not allowed in here. Mushroom- Really? Why? Bartender- We don't serve your kind. Please, leave. Mushroom- OH come on man! I'm really a Fungi!

Yesterday afternoon, about 4:30, I got a call that I've been waiting for! All I could feel was deep sadness, the piercing need to cry was overwhelming! I feel the same today. The thing is, I can't cry. Crying is almost triggering due to my childhood and into my teens! The call was that something...

Hello and thanks, I'm in the process of finding out at this time. Co-Pays for Humana Medicare are killing me! Doc office is zero but others(radiologist, catscans, etc) are $50-$200 so far! Thanks again for the suggestion!

I do have insurance now, Due to my Social Security Disability. Unfortunately, it must be Medicare and it costs $170! I moved last year 110 miles from my doc. I've had nothing but hell trying to find a new one! My life's difficulties are never ending!!!

I was without insurance and only recieving disability income. I'm seeing a psychiatrist the last of this month. I hope to not only get some professional answers as well as a therapist referral or recommendation. My current therapist is mostly pro bono at this time.

If only I felt I have loved ones. My therapist hasn't helped me much at all. We only have phone conversations for sessions. She isn't a trauma therapist, only trauma informed. We keep talking for one reason and one only: I've no one else to talk with.

I feel helpless and hopeless too! Not having even an "eh" day.

I only recently joined and chatting was the main reason. Now I'm feeling perplexed and hopeless.

I feel desperate I feel hurt I feel worthless I feel unloved I feel despair I feel ignored I feel forgotten I feel hated I feel persecuted I feel ALONE I feel unheard I feel re-traumatized I feel disgusted and hurt by "life" I feel I'm so tired of hell on Earth

Go see Marcel the Shell with Shoes! It's full of one-liners and I promise you will LOL!

Why were L&M kicked out of the alphabet? They got caught smoking!

Hello Survivor 3

I'm seeking support groups and the like. Too many therapist refuse to acknowledge cptsd which makes it impossible to find the right therapy in my area. Having also been traumatized by a therapist, I can't trust any therapist! I'm hoping this site and community will help me move forward.
