Hello. I'm so sorry you are so frustrated! You're in a hard situation. First of all, is he your boyfriend and do you live with each other? Can you explain a little more about your relationship? Unfortunately, it sounds like what alot of women deal with. Maybe men, but since I'm a women, not...
Thank you for replying:) I have another thread called "can't sleep without taking alot of medication " and I kind of answered about meditation, somatic therapy. I am hopefully going to find a therapist that works with trauma. I agree with everyone that says that it's not about diagnosis but...
Thank you for your response:) I saw a new doctor yesterday. He's a medical doctor and not a psychiatrist which I think is very good because he went through all the medications I have been taking and how they are affecting my physical health and mental health. I find it amazing how every single...
I had called my Medicare provider and all they can do for anything to do with being hospitalized for inpatient treatment in a treatment center for any mental health conditions is that they give you 190 days for your whole lifetime and they pay 80% which is good but paying the 20% is still alot...
I'm so sorry that I hijacked your thread! I have a bad habit of writing a novel instead just giving an answer:( I hate that I do that and I apologize to you. I sincerely hope you will take care of yourself first without being too worried about what others think but I know that's extremely hard...
Hi again! Tryingtofly I would love to ask you if you will take a chance with me and be buddies. The best of friends are the ones that it feels wonderful to be "negative " with and to celebrate being "negative ". I don't believe in such a thing anyway. It's just another way to feel bad about our...
It's the part about being heard for the first time. A need so many of us have longed for but never received. All those feel good chemicals are running rampant!
Also I don't drink alcohol or caffeine at all. I haven't eaten chocolate for along time and actually hardly eaten anything at all recently. Books overstimulate me no matter what kind of book I read. Talking and texting is overstimulating for me. I don't watch tv at all because the noise drives...
You are the first person that has ever mentioned that this can be harmful to me. I actually really do appreciate you for saying that. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude because no one has ever worried about this and I thought it was odd but since I never got a reaction I just figured it was no big deal.
Some if the replies here are making me laugh! I kinda wonder how some noise might cause me into the Incredible Hulk and start smashing:)! Many different sounds can set me into a full fledge panic attack and I want to get my revenge on the culprit.
I'm extremely sensitive to noise. The car...
I don't understand why a therapist or doctor has me totally believing that I will be leaving home to check into an eating disorder inpatient treatment if I was anorexic at that specific time or a mental health inpatient or outpatient care from a certain clinic that is not in the state I live...
Hi again:) You are really nice! Thank you for replying!!! Well, I don't have a job (on SSD) or any friends except some in different cities which I like so I don't have to make excuses why I don't want to go out. I don't enjoy going outside or anything actually. I have my family that try to get...
I'm so sorry about the nightmares you constantly have and not being able to sleep very well:( I've been lucky on the most part of not having nightmares like you have. It would be very frightening to even attempt to sleep. Are you're nightmares playing out as memories you are already aware of or...
Hello! I would like to share with you my employment and short term disability and SSD journey. For some reason I have been extremely lucky as to how I'm not homeless. I worked physical labor for the same company but at 3 different states for 11 years and absolutely loved it. I was such a hard...
It takes ALOT to get me to sleep and even then I don't know what to expect with sleep. Never consistent even though I take same meds which I realize is normal but why can I take the same dose and not fall asleep at all. Just like I haven't taken anything at all and I keep taking different ones...
I joined yesterday and I can't pull myself away from here. I haven't eaten because that will take too much time and had to hurry to take a shower because I haven't showered in over a week but I had to get out as fast as I can to read other people's posts and threads. The time flies so fast which...
I'm not sure if you want to read what I posted on my thread if that's what it's called. I write about the aweful experiences I've had in these recent months with therapists. No matter what or who I reach out to I am also minimized and it is very hurtful and then question myself if what I think I...
Hello! I just have to respond to you right now. I joined yesterday and my whole being was trying to scare me away from joining but I took a big risk and hope I don't get into defense mode. I do the same thing as you do about feeling threatened or attacked by a look that I can interpret as being...
And I have never had a psych evaluation until earlier this year and I was worried about it because I am a different person at any given moment and never in my life has a mood or personality stayed the same. Especially these last couple of years when I can experience a rapid succession of states...
Phones are pretty dumb! Very frustrating! I don't use any of the "fancy" stuff that some people need to have. As long as I can talk, text, have internet and email (which I don't get much of thank goodness). I had to have my internet access blocked every once in awhile because I become obsessed...
Thank you all so much for you sharing with me! It's an odd feeling when someone actually replies and I really like it so thank you!
I use my phone for the internet and it makes it hard to see what the writing looks like and honestly I fogot all the etiquette that exists outside of texting.
I...
I just excitedly stumbled onto this site and I didn't resist or felt that this is not where I belong. I'm frightened, though, of something that I'm not really sure exactly what. Nothing is consistent or makes any kind of logical sense of what my body is doing or feeling when my mind is not even...
