I feel like i am in a room with no air i am struggling to breathe. How do i make the pain go away. Everyday i pray thats it different and i always fail when i cant handle the situation. I been on the road of recovery and stayed there for awhile yet somehow i fell back into my destructive ways. I feel numb i feel nothing i feel like i am not here. My thoughts race with all these un answered questions and my judgement is cloudy. What happened to the girl that use to smile and was happy all the time or was i putting on a show this entire time. how is it that i have everything but still feel as if i have nothing. I hurt all the time now has it finally caught up to me. I dont even know what to do anymore. Im at war with myself and im losing. Yes i have a T but yet i feel like she doesnt truly understand has anyone felt like that like they agree to agree when you know they dont understand i dnt know maybe its just me. I just needed to vent. :sighs:
Thanks for this!

I know how you’re feeling, I’ve been there myself, several times. The pain won’t just go away on its own. Can you talk to your mom about getting a new T, one that does understand and can help you?

The girl that used to smile may just be on a vacation but I am positive that she can and will come back. Keep reaching out and keep fighting. You can find true happiness again.

Keep on venting. I’m here to listen.

Hopefully, can you tell your T that you feel that she doesn't understand? What are you working on in therapy if you don't mind me asking?

Gosh i have to laugh at life sometimes everything under the sun, but mostly the abuse i suffered as a child that i can't seem to get over and the fact that my mother played a major role in that. This is the main thing of all my problems from cutting to my e.d anxiety, ptsd, but i put a pretty smile for my family because i can't fail its not a option being the best is everything. i just hate it all

How I got better is that I stayed in the present and worked on my issues of today and only worked on the past when I traced a problem of today back to my issues of the past. This way you don't get stuck in the past without fixing anything of today. I worked on the most pressing issue that I had in the present. Does this sound like a plan that you would find helpful?

Very good! I used this technique to work on my self worth, boundaries, meeting my needs, feelings, living in the present, being triggered, anxiety, fear of intimacy, etc. These issues surfaced in my relationships so I would see one of these issues because it surfaced in a relationship and I would take it to therapy and work on it. It really helped to improve my life in the here and now and I worked through my issues. Being aware is the key to realizing the issues and then working through them.

Please continue to keep us posted on your progress?

What happens in therapy where you think that your T doesn't understand (if you don't mind me asking)?
