I'm feeling really depressed. I've been working through some abuse memories. It's really making things hard for me. I can't stand myself. I feel like I'm a bad, disgusting person. I feel really unsafe. I'm not going to hurt myself. Just feel not good.

Hello, Princess4605!

Your recent posts speak of many things, each of which would be a terrible burden in itself. Combined...

I imagine you've been in this kind of place before. What has helped you through these times in the past?

Hi Rohag, talking with safe friends helps. Trying to find safe distractions. I think pisting helps me vent. And, connecting wiht others. Hope you are doing ok.
Thanks for this!

The comprehensive care group here in KY & especially the one in Danville offers a wonderful DBT group along with outstanding psychologists. I know that the skills taught in the DBT group I go to are wonderful for handling major distress when it hits. Yes, distractions are a part of that.....all kinds of distractions from helping others to crafts to (ugh) cleaning the house....lol. The breathing thing is something I just can't get into & but relaxing in the hot shower really works.......I can end up having a hot shower 4+ times a day on a bad day......as long as the hot water holds out I seriously like the idea of a vacation....something I really haven't had in years....so I fake it & pretend I'm on vacation. Really, I had to be on vacation to live around the beautiful woods I have in my own back acres now so I kick back & pretend I'm in a cabin instead of my house. Of course, for me, a wonderful trail ride at Eagles Nest or Shaker Village helps feel like vacation also. I really wish I had known about DBT back in 1994 when my depression was so horrible......but PTSD issues that have hit me since then create the need just as much.

I do agree, I think posting here really helps with the venting & the connecting with others.....PC has really wonderful people to connect with.

Hope you are able to process the abuse memories.....which will also help you feel better.
