I'm sorry you're feeling hated, Changing4Best. If whomever you offended is unable to forgive at this point in time, perhaps a little time will change this. Regardless, I think it is good that you recognize what you did. Hopefully, you've been able to forgive yourself.
Sending you safe hugs. ???
I'm sorry people in your life are unable support you in the way you need.
I'm praying you will find a real-life person to form a connection with, someone who isn't overwhelmed hearing about your trauma.
Sending you safe hugs. ? ? ?
Whether others forgive you or not... It may be good to remind yourself that you are human, and you have a need to be known and accepted for who you are, just like every other human on this planet.
I know for myself, when someone is vulnerable enough with me to share their painful experiences...
I am praying that your phone therapy session remains completely private, and that you will have the reassurance of this. Also, I pray you will continue the difficult (personal) work that you need to further your healing.
God bless. ? ?
I pray that you will find yourself not only fully restored, but you will be in a better place once this initial transition is over.
You are making the most of a difficult situation.
Hugs. ? ? ?
Hi, i.swear.i'm.trying.
I'm sorry you were abused, and I'm sorry you have PTSD. I'm glad you're reaching-out for help, though.
Flashbacks are common with PTSD. Every flashback is triggered by something. However, the trigger is often difficult to identify. So, the flashbacks may feel like...
I'm sorry you are being pushed to your limits. One way or another, something is going to have to give. You can only push yourself to full capacity for so long.
Is there any way you can get help to lighten your load, either at work or home or even better both?
Taking time for self-care is never wasted. Even if you think you can't afford to spend the time to get your needs met, the truth is you cannot afford to neglect yourself.
Take the time to wash your hair. I'm almost certain it will make you feel a little better.
Sending you thoughts of peace...
Been there. Done that.
FYI: If you're having a difficult time getting the knots out, I've had luck using olive oil or peanut butter. I start putting it on the hair just above the knot, and work my way slowly down. Oh, and start with the knots closest to the end of the hair shafts, and work...

I was in denial during mine, even though the evidence was overwhelming, and my doctor kept explaining it was really happening.
I pray that the Lord guides this young woman gently through whatever may lie before her, making His loving presence known to her.
Hi, bluedreamdaydream.

I hope this helps you:
Why did it happen? Because your father (and I use that term loosely) is an...
Is she in therapy to deal with her traumas?
If she is then there is a better chance that she will gradually, over a long period of time become more open to you. If not, well, who knows.
I wish you and your girlfriend all the best.
Life is hard. It's better when we can love and support...
Angry at myself for doing self-sabotaging stuff
Burning eyes from crying over things I cannot change
Hating myself for not having the insight into myself or my relationships that I need
Exhausted from the same 'ol sh*t running through my mind
Tired of working so hard and getting nowhere...
I'm sorry you feel the weight of everything pulling you down. I know the feeling all too well.
Unfortunately, I don't know of a reliable solution. If your body will allow you to sleep, maybe give it a try.
Sending you tranquility, peace, and a feather-light heart. ?
Hi, oakleaves.
Have you considered maybe broaching the subject by telling your therapist that you want to discuss something, but that you are uncomfortable doing so because "______." List every reason why it's difficult for you.
When I do this, my psychologist is able to help combat those...
Laying the groundwork is good. There is nothing wrong with taking baby-steps. You are moving in a positive direction.
Shame binds us in a prison where we don't belong. I'm sending you thoughts of strength and peace to confide in your therapist, and break free from the shackles of shame...
