Today I'm logging on for the first time in idk how long..so I'm thinking 1. I've really missed and needed the support 2. Trying to think about how much time has passed makes my head spin 3. Idk what I'm doing 4. I wonder if all my old pals are still on here 5. I think I'm gonna have a breakdown...

Yeah I hate to sound like a broken record but exercise or any sort of intense physical activity does wonders..i work out a lot, run every sunday, read a LOT..write as often as my brain will let me etc..

I wasn't sure where to post this, but I got an email last night from here saying they've missed me around and I hadn't realized its been so long. My dad died in January and it seems I've been in a dissociative nightmarish period for an eternity. Trying to get back on track and in therapy. I hope...

Continue to try and break the negative patterns I'm cemented into

Coffee. Sweets. Getting to sleep in. Clean socks. Snow/cold weather. Fulfilling conversation.

Good to see you back @Abstract :) i sometimes disappear for weeks or months on end also and as Eve says, it's kind of "what we do" so please don't feel bad. We understand. We're here for you. *hugs*

Really enjoying hearing everyone's plans! I hope you have a great time with your family and enjoy the extravagant dinner lol. And also that you keep some useful coping and self care tools in your back pocket during holiday shopping. I too, am trying to focus on more prayer this season. Please...

Happy holidays @The Albatross ! Sounds like a peaceful day spent with someone you care about and that's always nice. That's a great suggestion! I've given plasma before so I'm sure I could do that. I am mostly looking to make monetary donations as I cant get around on my own right now. I'm...

Hey everyone, i just wanted to wish all of you(yes every single one of you) a safe, and happy holiday season. For whatever holiday you celebrate. What is everyone doing for thanksgiving? What are you guys thankful for? What are some good organizations to donate to and give back this holiday...

I'm so proud of everyone here you guys are doing amazing. I'm proud of myself for still trying to make time for myself to do things that keep me sane in my cumbersome life.

Rought day. Taking care of my mom recently (abuser, only 44) its a lot. Feel like I'm losing my life. Hope tomorrow theres more hope.

I have love from my significant other, they are the most wonderful, and the most loving thing anyone has ever done for me is understand me and respect me. My grandma loves me dearly and I her, and I have tried to smother my little sisters with love because they are still living with my abuser...

I really really needed those words. Thank you so so much.

Thank you so much.

I've had several setbacks moving forward in my recovery. I have abandoned therapy, have lost meaningful relationships and I have a severe lack of a support group in my real life. I am in dire need of some words of strength or encouragement because those close to me are unable to provide that or...

I have a real problem with social and emotional isolation as well...I desire to have friendships and close meaningful relationships with people but yet I still remain extremely guarded and unwilling to self disclose or get close to people due to trust issues and feeling like no one will actually...

I can say NO. I can demand respect. I don't have to take things lying down.

I realize that I do not only socially isolate myself but I emotionally isolate myself as well and it's only hindering me.

Why Why Why Why Why

I need a hug because the stresses of life and grief are too hard to bear alone sometimes. *Hugs others in need*

Sleep. Forgiveness. Acceptance. A chance.

Turkey burger and light beer

... Yes long distance. Like a 12 hour drive distance. Not too much. This would be the first time that we'll be spending a lot of time together.

Sorry for the confusion. They is my partner I'm just using she and they interchangeably. I'm just talking about one person. My girlfriend.

My partner is flying here from Texas for the weekend to spend time with me. She planned this way back in March and I have told her from then up until now that my life is complicated, I'm still dealing with an abusive family dynamic and I'm always one wrong move away from being subjected to harm...
