And while it may seem hopeless right now, there are better days ahead.
You are always welcome to speak your mind here. A lot of problems with posting in distress is that your post may not be answered until the next day or even longer.
I do care about you. I hope you will reach out to ask for help.
Mary
I believe you want to live or you wouldn't be here on WebMD.
Please, call someone for help. I want you to make that call as soon as you finish reading this post. You want help, you need help, and you deserve help.
You are a kind and loving person. You've been mistreated and hurt and it wasn't fair. You love yourself too much to self-distruct and you are reaching out for help.
Please get the help you need. I care about you and if I knew where you were, I would help you make the call. I can't know where you live and I can't help you. You have to reach out and make that call yourself.
Mary
I don't know how to make you feel better.
I don't know how to talk to you.
I don't know what to do.
You tell me, ok?
Love,
Mary
"what your doing with dr b is so rare" ... What does that mean? We do therapy. Dr.B uses an EMDR light bar and DNMS (the Resources). We review the DBT skills often. All three of those therapy techniques are standard for Borderline trauma patients. Not rare at all - just very effective. Although there is a drawback when you only have 50 minutes in a session ... you get started and in only minutes you are nearing the end of the session and you have to stop processing, put away the memory, and get calm before you leave the office. There was a time that we did 1 1/2 hour sessions but those are hard to get through - they are horribly draining and make it difficult to drive 2hr to get home.
dem, all of your negative talk is the depression. I feel exactly the same way as you do - I'm not worth anything, no body likes me very well, I'm alone in this world, etc. I try my best to bottle my feelings which is the reason I crash hard. When I crash, I can't help others. When I crash, I get on here and release my emotions and thoughts. It's not the best way to live but it's my 'pattern'.
I also am looking forward to the day that Dr.B says I am free. Unfortunately, I don't see that anytime soon. Everytime I think that moment is around the corner, the rage wells up in me. I hate my parents and what they did to me. My mother is still living. She's in a nursing home, living in a world of dementia. My sister says that God punishes and that's why my mother is essentially gone. I can't agree with her punishing thoughts. If that is true, what did I do when I was 13months old to deserve what I got? What did I do to deserve all the abuse? What did I do that was so wrong that I had a breakdown? Do children 'deserve' to suffer with abuse, poor health, cancer, etc? The God-punishing theory is wrong.
I truly wish that everyone who is depressed/abused/mentally ill had a therapist like Dr.B. I know he is 'one of a kind'. He's super intelligient, kind, and he cares about all of his patients. He keeps up with the latest therapy techniques. And he pushes me to stay in the direction of recovery. I've said all along that I am blessed with Dr.B as my therapist.
Love,
Mary
Albert is not doing well and I am very worried about him. He has a hacky, non-productive cough. He has a strange rash on his cheeks and forehead. He is extremely tired and wears out like an old man. He walks slower. We've looked all over his body but do not see any signs of a tick bite. As a matter of fact, he doesn't have any bite signs on his body. The blood work results won't be here until Monday afternoon. I hope it is negative but if it is, then we are back to square-one.
I had a nap this afternoon when Albert laid down. We both slept 2.5 hours.
Thank you for sticking with me through thick and thin.
Love,
Mary
