Hey Poorsoft, I get what you are saying. It seems like the more we deal with, the more we learn, and it does seem to expand like a big web. Sometimes I feel like the spider and the fly depending on the day or time of day. I have been redoing my t

DRA, My biggest hope, aside from my own recovery, is that someone might get something out of my own struggle. This is a big part of the reason why I post these things. For a long time I thought I was alone with what happened to me as a child and

After giving in to my psych and taking a perception for an SSRI and Ativan I feel that they are helping me immensely. I no longer want to kill myself. Moving back out of my family home. That place has too many memories and my mom is a incredibly neg

Since I will likely not be online at all tomorrow, I would like to wish everyone a happy Father's Day. Even if you aren't a dad someone somewhere looks up to you, loves you, and thinks you are the best person on the planet.

Hey guys, Focused, you are true to your name dude. For me, there is a bigger reality to consider. 20 yrs. ago I had a dream that I went looking for my true self. I found him hanging out. He was basically good, but a bit of a juvenile delinquen

Sounds like it was a mix of memory and current emotions. We are human. If you prick me with a needle, I'll bleed and if you touch me in certain places, I will react whether or not I want to, it's part of our build up and how we're made, hence why i

UPDATE: Thursday I got out of therapy, went home and took my son to go see "OZ THE GREAT AND POWERFUL". I thought I had forgotten all about the session until I dreamed Friday night. I also ate Pizza. It was a good Day.

I've been confronting my past and issues for six months now and I've been on MS for a good 3-4 months I'd say (which has been a god send!). As of now, I'm doing good. A lot of people have commented that I look healthier, happier and just 'different'

this seems like a very interesting subject. I have reluctant to try EMDR which my T recommends, but he doesn't do. The major problem I'm having is that I'm afraid of anyone fucking around with my head. I'm afraid I will get dumped back into that time
