Experiences with

Crisis counseling

My parents went on vacation a week ago - week long vacation out of country - and got back Sunday. During that time, I stayed at their house and babysat the house and their dog (I also got a rescue myself, and their dog isn't very welcoming of mine, so that was a stressor).

I'm just going through a heavy withdrawal bleed after my first go at icsi, which ended up being a freeze all cycle (due to overstimulation). I'm not sure whether it's the hormones or the bad menstrual cramps or just generally fatigue, but feeling rather negative about the future.We were thrilled last

I'm really struggling with my anger management at the moment. I've become addicted to online backgammon (but I don't play for money) and whenever I lose a game I am getting angry and sometimes that spills over and I smash things. I've just smashed the second laptop in 3 months and I have cuts all over

RLS - I know that alcohol is a no, no for RLS or if taking meds, but I recently read an article that drinking an ounce of brandy at night helps with insomnia. After not sleeping at all for four nights (high anxiety) Out of desperation, I mixed an ounce of brandy with eggnog (grandkids left in fridge

I've been saying this for a while myself; we've trauma bonded and our relationship is unhealthy. The problem lies in the fact that I don't have many people in my life I am close to: a best friend and my mother. I rely on my mother for most of my social interaction. Her counselor just told her that

Good morning all and happy Christmas. I've pinched the first sentence below from something I read this week. Our attention is powerful; it is the true gold of this world, which is why so much effort is made to capture it. The most wonderful thing we can do for anyone is to really listen to what
