Wow this just resonated for me so much. I moved in with my partner 7 months ago, and things quickly became very difficult for me. I had been alone for years prior and knew I had “issues” but I managed the symptoms much better as a single person, never really let anyone get too close. I want to...

I'm glad you said it's okay that it scares him, it does freak me out too. the action plan is an awesome idea, I'm going to talk to him about that this weekend. Aww your note gave me the warm fuzzies. You're right, it's okay to not "get" each other all the time. I feel like we will be okay...

I really like all of Muse's ideas. Having a trusted friend come along would probably be very helpful and would help share the pressure. Pedicure mall day with a smoothie sounds soothing (PS I would totally love to spend an afternoon with you, Muse :) lol!), doing a self care activity with D-I-L...

He has read one article, and seems open to learning more, but I don't want to overwhelm him. He admits all of our issues as a couple are not centered around me and my trauma. I'm thinking about bringing him to one of my therapy sessions (NOT couples therapy) so my therapist can help talk through...

I have totally been here. Family environment is very uncomfortable for me. Last time, I blew it. I over analyzed every little interaction, convinced myself no one liked me, and spent much of the trip in tears. Please don't do this to yourself. I would suggest starting with a list of positive...

I definitely am in therapy and working on this stuff. He refuses to do couples therapy... I think the issue for me is when I'm open with him about the past and he says it's "scaring him" I'm trying to be open with him and work on this stuff, explain where reactions are coming from and not put...

Hey community, hoping to get some thoughts from you guys today. I live with my boyfriend and a few weeks back we almost broke up over my emotional flashbacks which usually manifest themselves with rage and pushing him away. I've been on my meds for a few weeks now, and have started therapy with...

Whoa! I'm sorry you went through that! I'm starting to feel a little bit better on it. I feel like my anger is subsiding a bit and I'm thinking through things more clearly. Hoping the upswing continues. Curious, did you find something that worked better for you?

That actually sounded delicious, which is the first time something made me feel hungry at all! I'm going to try tomorrow! TY!!!!!

That's so awesome! Definitely helps me in so many aspects, especially at night. I really struggle sleeping alone, and my dogs provide me SO much comfort. I think anyone who has intense stress and fears can benefit greatly from a therapy animal of some kind :)

Not overweight, but what woman doesn't enjoy dropping a few lol. I like the smoothie idea. I'll give that a try. Thanks!

I don't know if this would help or is even possible for you, but I've found great relief in bringing one of my dogs into the bathroom with me while I shower. I also have a great fear of the shower, and I am so sorry you went through what you did. Having a trusted little pupper in there always...

Hi! I am on my second week of Wellbutrin and I have had the weirdest shift in appetite. I used to be a pretty hungry person and was always excited about my next snack. After starting the wellbutrin, I don't think about eating, I can only stomach the idea of a few things right now (mostly nuts...

Hi, I just moved to Alaska 7 months ago. Moved here to be with my boyfriend, we moved in together and I have had a very difficult time living with someone and our relationship deteriorated quickly. I knew I needed to seek help because I started to have panic attacks, wasn't sleeping, and then...
