Awwwwh!! Im so glad that you felt better reading my post. :) Don't expect too much from him. At least he is co-operating very well with you. Which a lot of people don't do. Hes doing his part and you have to do yours. Best of luck for your therapy.

Determination is what counts and you have got it. So I have a very strong feeling that you will come out of this situation very soon! Just keep going this way! Challenges are a part of life and when you have got some one to share them with, they become opportunities!

I am so happy that you have the courage to face the circumstances. Do let us know all the details about the therapy. We are anxiously waiting for that!! Feel better soon. Lots of love. :)

Hi there, this is my first day on this chat. The first part of the healing is talking about it and is probably the worst.when you talk about it to others you will realize that its ok to share what you went through.I have been trying to heal for 8-9 years now and its down to one more thing to do and its a hard one.I need my brother-in-law to face me and apoligize for real and beg for forgiveness.I know that you cant do that now that your dad is gone but the councelling will help,you will realize that you are deserving of all the love around you and soon you will really be able to accept your husbands love.I always felt I was bad and didnt deserve love, but getting past that made the whole difference in my life. my entire childhood was filled with abuse of all kinds but now i know I did nothing wrong,i was a good child and now because of the people that hurt me i suffer from ptsd and md.Im taking 175 mg of lamical and 50 zoloft, the zoloft will increase soon and I am feeling pretty good now.I just hope it last. I wish you luck. good things will happen soon, just talk about.

Hello to all of my HW friends,

 Just thought that I would update all of you on my day, after all , I said that I would. I woke up this morning feeling alittle nervous about my day. I had my first meeting EVER with a counselor today. I wasn't sure about what to expect, but I must say that it went very well. It was a lot of questions, some of which I didn't want to answer, but did! I was totally honest about my feelings and issues with a total stranger. WOW I did it !! I took the first step in seeking the help that I need. What a feeling.

I left her office feeling relieved, and proud of myself. She told me that my feelings were real and gave everything we discussed meaning. She told me that I wasn't crazy, that the feelings I have are normal human response. The words that she spoke were priceless as far as I'm concerned. I can't wait for my next meeting with her on the 23rd of Feb. She diagnosed me with Moderate OCD, Moderate PTSD, Mild Depression, and PA.

Blessings, Michelle tongue

Michelle,

I am so happy that your appointment went well. That is great. It is so nice to have somebody validate our feelings and understand what we are feeling and saying. I hope it continues to go well. I go to therapy every other month now. It is a long drive from where I live. But it still helps. My meds have helped me too. I am truly happy for you. Keep up the good work.

Hugs, Karen

Hello Everyone,

I know that it has been several months since I've been here, I hope that all of you are doing well. Things have gotten better since I've been gone!! I've had some real breakthroughs that I thought were not possible. Everyday I talk to somebody else about my life. Talking and telling people is the best medicine. I am still seeing my counselor once a month and am still on meds, the combination has given great results.

Blessings,
Michelle :-)
