I am struggling with a few things. I have a new pretty high level position at work, was chosen to help correct an area. My eating disorder is raging and I have begun to self injury. About the first week in Novemeber my old Therapist flipped out and screamed and yelled and just said hurtful and totally inappropriate things to me, which sent me on a journey to find a new one and helped stir up the eating disorder. I also have some residual PTSD from two robberies I was a victim of while at work a number of years ago.
Oh, and it is the holidays and I have to spend them with my dysfunctional family including my dad who has been emotionally abuse to me all my life and his sister who won’t acknowledge me at all.
I am having a really really rough time…hasn’t been this bad in almost 10 years.
I’m sorry that your therapist was inappropriate – that sounds very odd. I hope you are able to find a new one to work with. (There is a therapist referral page on http://www.selfinjury.com – there may be one close to you, that could be helpful?).
The holidays are hard times for many people. I hope you are able to find positive ways to support yourself. I hope you’ll reach out and post again.
I believe you can get through this hard time – with the right support. So it’s great you are reaching out.
She was very very inappropriate and abusive. I have found two that I and deciding between but thanks for the link to check some out
I was doing so well without injuring and then it just seems like with everything going on that was what I turned to. I cannot say I am happy but it is what it is.
I just feel so alone with it. It isn’t something that is widely discussed or understood. I wish it were.
Welcome to the blog. The holidays can be hard times for people. Can you write about what’s going on to cause your struggle?
Hoping you’ll share some more.
