is it normal that after you start back at therapy, all your "past" emotions start coming back...
like, i just went to go see my therapist again, after a year and a half (because i had no medical), and now, i'm starting to have all the emotions i had after the abuse (thoughts of suicide, depressed all the time, anxious, etc).
is that normal?

Haven't ever been to therapy for my rape. However, it is normal if you haven't thought about it in awhile then when it is brought up or something reminds you of the situation you thtink about it. Yes, it's normal. I would think it gets easier to deal with as time goes on. 4yrs. later it's a little easier, but that comes with healing. You may never forget,but you may very well heal from the experience. Keep up with the therapy it can only heal you and help you. Best wishes and luck. God Bless.

i think it's very normal. i am going through that right now also. for me, it has been 5 years since i last went to therapy. i just started two weeks ago, and it has definitely brought up a lot of the feelings from 5 years ago. it is completely normal, because therapy causes you to bring all that emotion out, and talk about the details, and the feelings, and everything that you went through. you're forcing yourself to go back to that state of mind to work through all of those feelings and emotions

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
