    • About Me

      I'm sure I'm not much different from most people here, broken inside and just looking for someone to understand. I feel abandoned by anyone around me and I'm looking for reasons to keep surviving. I just don't know how to cope anymore and I'm hoping that being here helps me find some clarity in me.

      Child abuse is the most terrible act that a human being can commit outside of murder. May God bless you in your life as you work through the terrible consequences.

    • Hug

      From DixieBlue June 12

      Please forgive last hug, it was meant for someone else. My cat apparently thought you needed it and keyed it to you as she is trying to get me to quit typing and go to bed. Such a little mother she is!

      From DixieBlue June 12

      I know that you don't know me very well but you offered your help a while back and I think that your instinct and training will help me in my latest issue. I journaled, would appreciate your advice, I will be taking action on this matter either today or over the weekend! Thanks! Playing catchup here tomorrow and over the weekend.

    • Close Personality Disorders
      Type: Dependent Personality Disorder

      I've been struggling all my life with feelings that I don't belong, I'm unloveable, I'm bad and things would be so much easier if I didn't exist. I found therapy this year but still struggle with who I am and who I want to be.

      Treatments

      Talking Somewhat Helpful
      Sometimes I'm told that I need to find a balance and learn what information to give out.
      Prozac Working / Worked
      I feel more focused if anything but I also know it's not the cure all.

      Treatments

      Hypnotherapy Working / Worked
      It's going on 4 months without a cigareete and I think I have to use more willpower now vs. just not wanting it. It's an everyday struggle.
