I did it. I had a complete panic attack and cried, but I told her everything. It's a good thing that I went because one of my burns is infected, but it's not bad she said. She gave me some sedatives to get through the next few days and I will go back and see her on Monday and then I see my psychiatrist next Thursday. I told my husband. At first he kind of just was like "okay" and then I started crying and he said he...

Hi Hopeful, So sorry you are struggling. Sure you have thought of these but: Any suppressed emotions? Any guilt for getting better? Any voices from the past that are telling you it is dangerous or wrong to value yourself? Any supressed stuff that you have not dealt with? Any new landmark in your recovery that has come up? Any work or relationship both good or bad that has come up? Any other ideas? Take care of you and well done for taking...

nc, I can try that. Do I just make different activities? Are they twenty minute cards? Yes, I am willing to try this. Im, sick of feeling this way all the time. Leslie

can i just say, it's totally okay to walk away? i don't mean that to be cruel at all, but i can't save someone from my computer screen. what's more it's really maddening to find out that someone was off posting in another forum while i'm trying to help with a phone number or something. that's really hurtful and upsetting.

solenn Welcome back Thanks for the compliment, BTW Ducksquack Thanks. I went back, and got my desire chip. I even shared. I was so nervous, but it went alright. I am glad I went. Today's day one. Here's to new beginnings

I've only recently returned to the but I remember you from before as I would always follow your threads and think how amazingly strong you are and how self aware. Well done for admitting that you are slipping with staying sober, I can only imagine how hard it is for you. I am sure that your AA group will welcome you back with open arms and admire you for your honesty and determination! Good luck for your first meet back! With love Solenn x

lol, that really was bad timing on the T thing. I am amazed you made it four visits and shocked that she sat on the billing for so long. Hopefully you can work something out with her, like she screwed up so you owe her nothing. (okay, wishful thinking) I am glad to see you back, I have thought about you and wondered if your absence was a good thing or a bad thing. How do you feel about AA? Would your husband go with you? I know they recommend...

Today wasn't the best day. I made some crappy choices, but I also know I am not done fighting. I got an email back from my therapist. She said it is completely understandable that I am feeling this way because there is a lot of stress and change in my life right now. She also said that I need to be a friend to myself and use tools to take care of myself, like journaling, getting out of the house, and distracting myself. The problem is...

~iron eyes~ you might feel out of place here, but trust me you aren't. I was your about your age I started posting here and I felt the same way. Honestly, coming here at a younger age was almost more helpful for me because many people here have had experiences that helped me in my own life. I s/i'd a lot when I was younger and because of the people in my life and the people here I am in a better place. Just take care and keep talking!

Congrats on taking a huge positive step. god bless.
