- Hi everyone,I don't have much specific to say, except that I've been busy doing intensive outpatient treatment for the past while. I really needed some focused help. Unfortunately the therapist quit in the middle of it, but that is OK, I feel...
- I was curious about what people might think of this social media post. I was upset that she put "family" and "friends" in quotes. Am I making too much of this? It's true that we spend less time together, things have changed. I quit our hiking...
- Have you ever had someone just not take the hint that you should not continue hanging out? I quit our monthly hiking group because she was being extremely negative and jealous. I still see her at some events, but I'm not going to continue to...
- I used to be a a pretty thriving support group, which did fall apart. I would spend time with some of the members in it. My family is pretty dysfunctional, so they helped me a lot in this regard. I recently got back in touch with one of the...
- I guess I don't think that much about the fact that I am diagnosed with PTSD and depression, mainly because symptoms of a lot of disorders can go into remission and then you forget about it. Well they have come back quite a bit these days.In my...
- What do you do when people won't take no for an answer. I am trying to get rid of abusive people in my life and they keep trying and trying and trying.I was in no contact with my family for eight years. Against everyone's advice I went and...
- Depression has gotten me in quite a stronghold, but I've been working hard in therapy. I didn't expect to be so emotional and crying so much the last time I went to therapy, but I did. I guess I am in the right place and should be there. I was...
- So I had a pretty bad weekend, but I went to my virtual support group and then to meditation the next day and felt a lot better. I was not feeling so well Monday night and had a weird suspicion that it could be covid because of how run down I...
- This year has not gotten off to the right foot. I went to a 12-step social event and I felt totally invisible. Worse yet, the person across from me while I was playing bingo was really nasty to me. I was asking some questions about the game and...
- I've had a lot going on but I have been working through issues in therapy. One of the issues that I have had is that one of the people in my friend group is ridiculously controlling. She gets very angry if you even have plans around the...
- I'm sorry if I'm being redundant. I had posted a couple of times about leaving a hiking group, which I did. I am happy with my decision to end that toxic tie. A life coach told me that "the universe abhors a vaccuum." in this case he meant that...
- I had posted earlier about how I finally quit the hiking group that had been giving me so much grief. My parents knew a little bit about it and that I had been struggling with it. I told them today that I had quit the group and my mom said,...
- So for me it is very hard to get out of toxic entanglements. I don't know why it takes me so long. I guess in this particular case I felt a sense of obligation-the person had picked me up from the hospital once, and I have been good friends with...
- Hi, I just need a place to vent. I was not invited to annual Christmas dinner this year by friends who have been acting strangely. I don't typically spend it with family as that is pretty dysfunctional. My friends have turned out to be...
- I've been plagued with intense depression and anxiety, and thought at some point this week that I probably should be in a hospital. I'm doing better today. Part of my stress is that I just don't think I can be honest with people. I finally told...
