I cuddle my child and I am happy to be human. I text my other (adult) child and wonder at how she can be so close yet so far away. I eat chocolate and I am incredulous. I hear what you are saying. Being human is sh** sometimes. But there is a lot to be celebrated. We have potential....I don't know i...

Wow Richard. ...if ever I was going to look for life advice, it sure as heck wouldn't be from you! What else do you have in your rhetoric? "There are plenty worse off than you" "We all feel like this sometimes" "I don't wish to be insensitive but...." "You think YO...

I am freaking out. I don't know where to turn. I have self harmed on and off for years but not since September. I have been feeling really uptight the last few days. I wanted to self harm but I wanted so hard not to at the same time. I kept having violent self injury thoughts but I didn't want the c...

Have you spoken to your brother about it? I think it might help. You do not have to make a big deal about it....just say "A memory came back to me recently. I got you to kiss me when we were kids! I am sorry. ..what a terrible sibling I was!" (Laugh) The reason I suggest this, when I was 7...

I repeat. You have found something that works for YOU.

What you have found is something that is working for YOU. That doesn't mean it will work for everyone else. Talking ones self out of a clinical depression is just not possible for some people. I would go as far as saying that claims such as yours actually add to people's low mood. When depressed, a ...

I am struggling to put a name to something that I experience but I am sure there is a term. When I am with someone (therapist for example ) I can trust them, feel safe with them, be happy with them. Yet when I am apart from them, I can feel full of mistrust, anger, fear, shame. I will not contact th...

Hi, I think you are very normal! I talk to myself all the time. I have conversations in my head and sometimes I catch myself saying things out loud. Sometimes when I am alone I deliberately speak out loud. If I haven't had any alone time for a while, I begin to get antsy and find I need that space t...

Thank you Jargon.

I will see her again but I may trust her more next time so be a bit freer with what I share with her.

I went along to my age regression appointment and I certainly entered into a more relaxed state. However, as the images and memories I was asked to recall, I remember feeling agitated and not wanting to share them with the therapist. At times I wanted her to be quiet and leave me with my image but s...

Thanks, I thought that our memories were all there in the sub conscious.....and that hypnotherapy could help unlock that sub conscious? I was hypnotised years ago for help with a phobia. The hypnotherapist asked me some questions and a memory came back to me as clear as crystal. I could see it as th...

Thank you both. I understand....it would be me giving myself the false memories. I don't think I realised that before. Is there anything I can do to try to prevent this? Or to be able to pick out what is real and what isn't? My difficulty is that I already think I have false memories borne from sket...

Hi, I have an appointment coming up with an age regression hypnotherapist. I know pretty much exactly what I hope to gain out of this......I want to be able to look at sketchy details of childhood trauma and make them less sketchy. I want to be able to remember exactly what did and didn't happen. Th...

Thankyou and sorry for taking so long to acknowledge your reply. I have managed to discuss this matter a little further with my therapist and be candid about how i feel. It really helped to be able to discuss my feelings of transference and not have her be horrified. She was of course understanding ...

Hi, I have not officially been diagnosed with bpd but I am getting treated for it! My lack of official dx is a long story but I have no doubt I have it. I prefer to call it emotionally unstable pd as some doctors now call it. Anyway, I completely identity with what you are saying. I told so many lie...
