I don't know really what to think. I guess no surprises there. I've been in therapy now for five years! I've moved around a lot so I've been seeing different ones and there have been gaps it hasn't been 5 years straight but still. My progress is slow but steady in that I feel like I am for the most part moving forward, except for the past week I've fallen back into a depressive mode. meaning my lows aren't as low, but then again it is so hard to look from a perspective that I can recognize that. I mean I am in a low point, yet I've come onto this site. I openly sought after a site just like this. which I wouldn't have done with my social phobia and anxiety issues it would have been just too much. I know I haven't really talked about my results, but really no surprises depression, anxiety, low self esteem, PTSD is a new one for me. It has never come up I therapy. But, I've only really started talking in therapy 2 1/2 years ago!.....like I said slow but steady.

Yep, it takes a good while to get issues dealt with. And sometimes therapy brings out more that need to be dealt with!

Once again I apologize from my heart for not getting back to you. I moved around a lot too my dad threw me when I was 14. The past couple months I have been getting so deppressed again to the point I almost did something I tried to do 2002 my selfesteem has been so low and I too have PTSD. From past abuse I had thought I got past it till this relapse. I'm fighting it. I know this is easy to day and hard to do but we can't give up...people like us know the emotional pain its why I joined even though I'm still new at computer stuff. Being an artist I'd rather write a letter in pencil or pen. But ill get the hang of this. Take care,your friend,David
