- My mom is 82. I know I've been lucky to have her a really long time. I'm always afraid of losing my parents, but I know it's inevitable. She called me today and told me that last week my dad took her to the hospital, she was there three days...
- Holidays are somewhat difficult, as I don't celebrate them with my family. I used to spend like every year for the past five years with friends, but that has gotten really strained. I wasn't interested in dating one of the men there, and I think...
- Hello,I just wanted to post some good news. I've had a lot of struggles with work, and applied to graduate school. I applied for a scholarship/fellowship and won!?! It's a small amount of money, it's $1000.00. I have to maintain fulltime...
- I'm starting to learn that some things just aren't worth it, especially when it comes to customer service and it's bad. I can get very upset over negative treatment, and quite enraged. I think I feel like somehow others' negligence is damaging...
- Hello, I just started doing DBT along with EMDR therapy at my therapist's insistence. The session was extremely powerful, and I find myself both helped and upended all at once. I felt really calmed in the session, but later when I got home, I...
- I was just wondering what everyone else's feeling on the topic of dating is. I don't know why I am having such intense anxiety about it. I went to a party tonight, I have not been to one in a while, and at the end of the party the host invited me...
- Maybe I am starting to recover from depression. I had this beautiful day. I had a lot of errands to run and usually feel this pervasive sense of loneliness all the time, esp. when I have a busy day, have to shop or do chores on the run, I used to...
- Recently I was accepted to graduate school. It is a really big deal for me because it was hard to get accepted and the bar was high. I don't think I would have been accepted to the on-campus school, as I would have had to have an engineering...
- So, I guess life has led me to graduate school. I was avoiding it only because of the expense, but I do like learning, so I don't mind that part of it. I had thought the certificate program that I completed was a waste, but without it I would not...
- I woke up in a bad/anxious/depressive mood today but forced myself to go to a 12 step meeting. It did help me to feel better. I have mixed feelings about socializing. One on hand, I do want to go to my friend's birthday and see people that I have...
- I found a new therapist that specializes in trauma and I had a consult with her and I think it went pretty well. She has a lot of experience. The one that I was going to just seemed really confused and like she didn't know how to help me, but then...
- My pastor offered for me to call her if I need to. She knows that I am going through a lot of things. I'm reluctant to call, though. I'm not sure why. I think it's because I'm worried that my issues are so intractable, and that it will be too much...
- I've never actively avoided a therapist before, it's just new to me. I was not sure why I was doing it, but I had a talk with a trusted friend, and he said that maybe I don't trust her. I never thought of that. That just really made me think. Then...
- I am actually really irritated at my therapist right now. I know we can't blame other people for our choices, etc. I just feel like in some ways, and I kinda felt this way from the beginning, that the therapy is more about my performing and less...
- I've been with my current therapist about five or six months. It's been helpful for sure, but I might take some time off. The therapist is an intern and seems pretty skilled. I'm learning about different techniques to help myself. Problem is though,...
