How are you doing this week? My prayers have been with you? Hugs!

Thank you for sharing your story. I am sorry that how your family treated you affected your self-esteem and insecurities. I am glad you are looking for a fresh start. Have you been to counseling to heal from mental and physical abuse? Often we try to start over, but the baggage from the past...

I will be praying for the walls that hold you back from trusting people.  My husband has struggled with that for years.  It is not easy, but trusting God first helps with learning to slowly become open to relationships again.  Here is another podcast that might help with trusting again.

Welcome lostinmusic, we are so glad you reached out here.  I also feel more comfortable behind a keyboard.  First it is helps get my thoughts out before interacting (reading what I write before sending it) and second it doesn't give immediate responses or actions. I have recently moved and it...

I am sorry you are struggling. That must be really hard to want to have emotion but your brain shuts down. It sounds like that is how your brain wants to cope when things get overwhelmed. You mentioned that you are on a waiting list for DBT. Have you researched how it works? Have you already...

Hi Everyone, I am a female in my late 40's. I live on the East Coast in FL. I have struggled with depression since my second daughter was born over 20 years ago.  It started as PPD but turned into several bouts of severe depression. Since I found the right medication, the right counseling, know...

Wow, it sounds like you have struggled your whole life.  I am sorry to hear about all you have struggled with.  Medications can be helpful and hurtful at the same time. I am sorry you haven't found the one that has worked for you. I am glad you reached out on this post.  Know you are not alone...
