Hi thanks for your hugs. It makes total sense what you write down, because I recognize it very much. Im glad you could do a few things with what helped me too. I hope you'll find a good therapist because there's a lot behind your fear and you deserve someone who can help you with this. You're...

ahhh so sweet. I love dogs like that! For anyone interested: If you type in 'codependent' you get a lot of articles and information on google about what I asked for and the identifying. Happy that I finally found what its called.

Hi @hodge My parents have a dog like that but this photo I took from the internet. Those dogs are so sweet! Your Misha was to I guess? I'm happy that you liked the article. I tried finding more information and practical tips about this but turn up empty handed. I wish I could find more because...

I'm so sorry. Maybe a stupid question but are you able to work less so you do get subsidized and you will have more rest for yourself? And are there people who can advice you who know how these things work like a social worker maybe? Or through the internet on some help website?

@ground crew Thanks for your answer. I have the same thing: I can't watch the news either! All those awful things. I've talked about this with others and they just turned out the tv and let it go. But I think about all those woman being raped or treated awful, people killing each other for...

Hi, I'm sorry you have a stressful time. I can relate to the irrational fears. Pfff.... Awful and they can be like its so REAL and realistic. I hate exams, they trigger me too. I have panic attacks then. Now I have a job and I have other fears. Like that I'm making awful mistakes, hurting...

Hi I'm sorry that your therapy is such an unsafe place. I really hate how the people of the staff did nothing! Especially in a place where people need help and therapy. Especially because it must have done a lot with you this situation. From what I've read I think it's unprofessional that no one...

Hi everyone, I have a job, just 10-15 hours a week which costs me a lot. Most of the time I'm afraid and when I get home I take the job home. I see a lot of people who go through difficult stuff. They are losing loved ones to cancer, or a child that will die. I'm a physical therapist. I work in...

I'm sorry for you. I recognize the money issue. It's so frustrating! In my country you have free help to go to people who can help you with practical things. (maybe you've already done that but because I don't know I'll write it down anyway). Those people know a lot about money and also how to...

@Chava, I think I wanted a perfect term because I'm mostly a thinker and I thought I am going crazy or something. And finding it on the internet and reading about it and recognizing gives me support. So giving it names in my head kind of supports me that there is a way out. That it's not that...

Hi everyone, I had these periods where I think that I was dissociating: my house would become a mess, I wouldn't be able to eat and drink for days (just a bit, I had to force myself) and it's like I didn't know what I'd done the days before that. But last week I read something about flashbacks...

I always wanted older therapists too because I thought they would have more experience. And I wanted them to be psychotherapists: higher educted then 'just' a psychologist. Because I had had so many awful experiences with psychologists in my past. The last 6 years I had two older woman and I had...

I'm sorry @The Albatross I wish you much strength!

I have a new job since a few months and I'm working with my boss who has the practice for a long time. A lot of patients don't want to go to a new person (me) and want to stay with her. I find this difficult sometimes because I take it personally: I'm always afraid of rejection. Today a patient...

Yesterday I was walking in the woods with my parents and their dog when we saw a tiny rabbit with one closed eye and there was something wrong with the other eye too. We called some place where you can bring animals and tried to catch the little one. That took a while and the poor thing was so...

I was at my work and this elderly woman who is 90 years old had left three messages on the voicemail (I'm a physical therapist) because she had extreme pain in her neck and shoulders since she bumped into something with her car. She almost begged in the voicemail for me to come and help her. So...

@Anrish was it suicide? I just heard on the radio that the man had a burnout but didn't hear about that yet. How awful! I don't listen to the news very much because so many awful things happen and I can't get them out of my head then... How could you take all these people with you into your...

@Recovery4Me I'm happy that your health is improving!! Flu is so awful bleeh... Feel fit soon!

O and another one, this woman I met last week sent me a message to ask if I wanted to do something together. I had already thought about that but didn't dare to ask because I only met her once, some people might not like it you ask them to do something together to quickly? So I was pleasantly...

@SheilaKathy I hope you feel better soon. Don't you have insurance for a physical therapist? Don't know how that works in your country... Chiropractors are very expensive around here.. I have money problems since I started working again because they are cutting me down so much that...

I sat on a horse this morning for my horse therapy (to feel more) and it was really nice, I began to feel relaxed and noticed how tired and sad I actually felt. It was nice to get so grounded. And in the afternoon when I felt a lot of fear I sent my friend a message and she called me from her...

What a great threat! I'm trying to write down positive things every day (which hasn't worked out yet very well) and express my gratitude in my book too but this is great too... Although it's almost 30 days now for all of you! Can I still pitch in? (or how do you say that in English?) Will the...

Hi cinnamon, I'm so sorry you have this. I can imagine that you hate these feelings! I'm not really familiar with this form so I don't really have something to say that might help you. except trying to accept that you have this now and not fighting against it. Let it be there, if you accept it...

@ihateusernames I'm happy that you just did it and it worked for you! That must be really nice. Yes I can imagine that it feels stupid and fake to you, I have that sometimes too. Wow and that you can stop a lot of your inner negative dialogue, that's great. Do you visualize and see that child...

@shell I'm sorry you had your mother in your head!! Sounds awful. I try to practice too to get my parents and sister out of my head. But most of the time I listen to them and give to much attention to the voice. It's still very strong. But I mustn't be impatient I think, it's hard work... Weird...
