Hi, I wondered if anyone had any advice for me. I m going to search for a less expensive place to live, and I wondered if I should tell landlords about my service animals up front or just move in with them. My 2 cats, 10 and 12 years old, are ESAs and my dog is a service animal. My fear is that they will just cross me off of the list if I do that. Does anyone have any experience with this? It ll be my first time looking for a place with my animals. Thank you, Traci I wasn t sure which... Housing Search With Service Animals

High Pitch Ringing In Ears Before I Have Sleep Paralysis

Can You Suggest Books For Me?

With a married (but separated) couple - one inebriated after 2 bottles of wine and the other completely sober? Because one was drunk and sex occurs, does that automatically mean sexual assault? Or do I need to share more information? I have had drunken regrettable sex and more "black and white" drunken/sober rapes, but a recent experience is leaving me umm ...confused and a multitude of other emotions I am trying to avoid. T says it was sexual assault, but I do not want to believe her.... Does Alcohol Always Mean Lack Of Consent?

Diagnosis From Some....

I ve been trying so hard for the last 2 weeks to swim against this Depression and SI and try and hold on. It s been 2 weeks between sessions with my T and I really don t want to disappoint her tomorrow by going backwards. In these last few weeks I have lost a friend and my church and struggling with some self-harm/acting out issues and then today (and I know this sounds petty but it really hurt) I found out someone I thought was a good friend is pregnant but found out through church...

Diagnosis From Some

Hearing Loss

I went through a period where I was very angry with God. I m a Christian and thought it was sacrilegious to be angry with the big guy. I wanted to know why he didn t protect me. Why are some kids spared from Abuse and others forced to endure it. He raped me in the office of the church during preschool. Why didn t God send a lightening bolt to stop him? I guess I still have a little bit of anger towards God. Does anyone else feel angry at Him?

I Have Cut My Narssisist Dad Off.

And gone are the three f*cking fabulous night s of blue cheese and sleep as the penny pinching prison burn returns along with the usual relentless insomnia. Initially I get angry shakes, cry and wanna break shit, secondly I m suffocated by my darkest fears which at the moment mostly seem to revolve around my next police interview looming on the 21st of this month. I wanna do this interview about as much as I wanna f*ck Donald trump cos there s nothing I want less than to be responsible for... Ideas Of An Insomniac

So, Is This Isolating? Question About Drinking

Did You Believe Your Abuse Was Normal?

So... recent research seems to indicate that repeated exposure to blasts (rockets, IED. mortars) causes damage to the sleep centres of the brain. My vet needs sleeping tablets to get any sleep at all. But the civilian doctors - with no experience of treating patients suffering from the aftereffects of blast injuries - keep telling him he shouldn t take them all the time. So then he stops taking them and literally does not sleep for 48 - 72 hours before I force him to take the sleeping... Insomnia

Struggling With Addictive Personality

Staring At The Ceiling And Trying To Cope

Do any of you lie about your Suicidal ideation to your T? I am doing it all the time right now, because I feel like I cannot admit to where I am really at. We have been working so hard and making progress, but it is too much right now. I am getting suicidal and my urges to self-harm are increasing. I am scared to admit it, because I have made so much progress - and we will have to stop to take a break for safety. And that sucks and is disappointing. I m worried he will see this as a...
