:( My old one is gone, and every time I pick a new one, it still doesn't show up! I am doomed to be avatar-less.

Please take care....that story was so sad...(about your ex-wife) There was a time that I allowed myself to be used by men, and I carry a lot of that hurt with me now, I know how that pain screams to come out. Good for you for working through all this on here, even if it was "during" and not truly "b...

I read too. I can relate to a lot of what you are feeling. The not being able to speak of things and then wondering why you didn't when you had the chance. The needing to find a T but its just so fucking exhausting of an idea---plus once you have one, the time it will take to establish trust enough ...

Thank you, Amanda. Yes, I realize that people cannot "make" me feel anything. I feel what I feel and make these judgements about myself based on what these people have said or done to me. Someone hurts me--->I tell myself I don't deserve any help or that I am defective somehow--->I start to feel wor...

When I was in DBT therapy I learned the term "urge-surfing." It is something I still think about when I feel like you describe. I feel like that alot--like its all pointless because I'm just postponing the inevitable. I try to visualize myself going along just skimming the tips of my urges...trying ...

Sweetie,
You can always call me--no matter what time it is. Maybe we can make a deal--if you can call me, I can call you.

I love you

I find this stuff hard to explain IRL, like to my T...it is different from a procedural thought, like "I am going to drive my car off the raod into that wall" but a visual that I SEE and FEEL of myself DOING that. I call them "intrusive imagery". I "see" SI on myself that I can't help myself from go...

When you found out about M. you said you DON'T BELEIVE ME. oh sorry, you said, "I don't see how that could POSSIBLY have happened the way you say." So after 12 years of silence I tell...
