Hello Everyone Newbie Here

Reached my done point. Done.

Done

I thought it would be nice to have a place where we can share things about our faith, how God has helped us in our lives and how our faith helps us too. I live alone and I often find myself talking with God. Even though I am alone, I am not lonely! Recently I have had the pleasure of finding out that God can and will take my Anxiety away when I ask Him to! This has been major for me, as I have had a lot of it. I also find that I will stir up more anxiety not long after He does this, and... Christians Unite!

Really A Difference

I am hoping this is a cool idea . . . I realize I was just having an emotional flashback due to an argument taking place in a parking lot near me. I completely froze, lost it! And remembered how scared I would become during the fights in my home. I tried my best to look invisible. The few times I tried to get involved I got hurt. Nights are often hard for me. My inner child keeps bringing forth suppressed memories. She is in great need so as crazy as it seems I thought why not start a... Inner Child Party Room

Jobs

First time seeing this T. Have to repeat The Story even though they have all the notes they need. So it s a struggle, right? The fogging haze of dissociation sets in; I don t wanna answer every damn question and I m told to use grounding techniques Now: WHY should I ground myself back into my T s room where I am most uncomfortable? I m quite happy to drift away into Fogland and forget about reality.

What Is Child Abuse?

it was yesterday, when I visited my mother, looked at the family album, that something happend. Even though I posted about "self respect" here, I wasnt doing that well.. as I do find it hard to complete certain needs in my day to day life, but I always try to do it. With a distance in my mind, reflect, acting without wearing myself out.

Emotional Turmoil

There is value in understanding the difference between different kinds of ideas. My view (and I m unlikely to be swayed) is that Structural Diagnosis is a theory of pathology, and that the diagnoses that it informs are PTSD, DD-NOS and DID. This is the view expressed in The Haunted Self, and therefore it seems very defensible to me. Of course, a diagnosis is also a theory - it s a shorthand way of saying "I have formed the view that the pathological mechanism at work in this case... Theory Vs Diagnosis (structural Dissociation)

Childhood Abuse & Complex Ptsd With A Side Order Of Complicated Grief

I wasn t sure where else to put this topic. I get a lot of random thoughts that are more like urges or cravings for things that I don t actually want to do, or things that I ve never done. For example, I very often have urges to use pretty hard core drugs, to smoke, and to drink. I don t actually want to do these things, but for some reason, the impulse to do them pops into my mind very often. When I finish a project at work, I sometimes feel that the next step is to go get high. I ve... Weird Impulses & Urges
