Couch 25

Yes ReadyToStop I had many nights like that to. "Not getting up from the table until you eat what is on your plate" I would also fall asleep. If you fell asleep that night-it was waiting for you at Breakfast and not eating it before having to leave for school resulted in serious consequences.

Jersey, I don't think that's weird either. I used to have a difficult time eating chicken. Sometimes I have a hard time eating eggs if I think about them too much.

No, I'm a lacto ovo vegetarian....I eat dairy products and (rarely) eggs.

I'll go years without eating eggs and then all of a sudden crave them for a couple weeks - before getting grossed out and having an aversion to them again, LOL.

I love me some cheese....I'm sure I'd be a healthier vegetarian if I didn't eat so much darn cheese....

I had the opposite growing up. My mom used to tell me I should make a game into seeing how little or how long I could go without eating.

Cheese is yummy MUE.

I never understood why my sisters would be so stubburn when you could just eat it and then go into the bathroom and throw it up. And hence the start of the ED....

I feel like Darth Vader... I'm doing a nebulizer treatment cause my asthma is real bad right now...

And hence one of the reasons why we are all here on a therapy forum.

luke i am your faarrrrther

Go Granite! Getting your StarWars on!

so how old were any of you when you started T.

i first saw a councilor at school and then was admitted to a psych unit. i don't remember why .but i remember trying to refuse because i thought the people were out of there minds talking to themselves .the typical TV portray of the disturbed. if i remember i think i was about 15. i was taken to see a T in about 3rd grade but i dont remember much about it only the mothers responce

Not until a year ago.. I was 27. You are a T expert by now grantie I have a feeling, I will be with T for awhile. H keeps saying he will cut me off after 5 years, after telling him T has been seeing one of his patients on and off for 20 years.

I went to see a T when I was 21. I had just got married and moved across the country and realized that I didn't remember anything about my childhood and since it was my first time away from the dysfunctional family I realized how bad it was... I was so nervous and the guy i met with after 15 minutes told me there was nothing wrong with me to leave and he wouldn't even process that I was there so it wouldn't be on my record.

It took until I was 43 to go back again and I was still dealing with the same issues.

The first time I tried therapy I was 23. It ended when the therapist said I was a good person but not good at being in therapy and so I stopped therapy and we became friends. She was around the age of my parents.

My parents weren't thrilled when I became a vegetarian. But then again, my parents didn't have any luck with forcing me to do much of anything....I was beat senseless day in and day out starting at a very young age - and my fear and resentment turned to rebellion in my early teens. I got to the point where I started to enjoy it....*shrug*

I saw my 1st T when I was 16. But then my parents made me stop going and wouldn't drive. "Dana, stop that heavy breathing and shaking before I give you something to cry about" is what they would say. Then I didn't see a T again until I was 27. I developed an ED.

I joined a free teen group when I was a teen....but that wasn't really "therapy"....

My aunt (BPD) tried to force me onto her T when I was about 18, and I went once.

I finally reached out to my T about 4-1/2 years ago, as our marriage counselor...He then became my individual T when I decided to divorce my exH, about 4 years ago (I was 34).

Hey all, finally back home and I can relax. <3 I miss my bed and my room and my doggie- who needs a bath very badly. She rolled in the dirt apparently..

I started therapy when I was a little over 4 years old. It continued consistently until I was maybe 15 or so when I 'quit'. Now I decided to go back at 21 to really face my issues and history and current difficulties. I'm realizing just how raw all these feelings really are still, despite the main incident happening 17 years ago.

I started less then one year ago.

not very helpful in the T department but good in the friend department. i am friends with the councler i lived with and some of the staff from the residential treatment home .not always a good outcome but sometimes it works.

I will say though that counselors tried to get me to talk to them starting in elementary school. There was even a couple of times that people came to our house. They all freaked me out though and I was good at pretending things were good.

i get this my parents were horrible i never saw the mother then but my farther and step mother were horrible to the case worker that was in charge of me .and they hated any T i ever saw .part because they were forced to bring me .but it was only for a few months before i was taken from them and in foster care.i didnt have to deal with that any more at least.

Has Chopin been around this weekend? My T was talking about a book that she wanted me to read and I think Chopin has talked about the book too... it was about attachment style.

Haven't heard from Chopin....I hope she's ok.
