OT: Roo's Miracle...A TPB's Community Thread Of Unity and Support

[Fleet 1]

I just found out about this. It's quite a shock she is so young. I'm praying for her, him, and their son. Devastating news. Pray for Chelsea please.
This is not fair.

Thanks Craig. She needs a new liver. They got this.

Hey guys. Just wanted to share here what I'm going through now. Hoping that will lessen the pain or discomfort somehow. Basically I'm seeing a new psycho-therapist the past month. He's convinced I'm on the spectrum. I've felt that way for a long time but my therapists in the past (I'm 63 now) would tell me they didn't agree when I presented my case. On top of that I'm also working on my trauma. And I have a lot of it. It can get overwhelming at times. I really hope this trauma work actually pays off soon. It's fucking rough on me right now. Whenever I've tried working on trauma through a workbook by myself I'd easily get enraged and have to stop almost immediately. So at least this time I'm with an expert. I might talk about something different this week just to give myself a break. Man, it's a LOT to handle.

Curious if anyone else here has gone through trauma therapy. How did it go?

I can only offer best wishes.
The face in my mirror says "You're an asshole!" and I can only agree. I'm 81 yo and have made countless mistakes but I'm still here. I have a wife of 54 years (raises some questions about her)- (humor)- (I think).
Just keep pluggin'. Maybe learn to live with it. A sense of humor helps me.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with trauma. I've been lucky in that the ones close to me haven't gone through anything too bad. My 19 year old daughter is on "the spectrum" however. There are many struggles that she goes through each day... I wouldn't call it trauma, however. She has trouble making "life-long" friends... and is lonely when a "friend" lets her down or decides to distance themselves. It breaks my heart... because I think she is wonderful, thoughtful, creative (all the things I look for in a friend). I am sure she will find her way... but it's stressful watching her go through this.

Anyways, I think using a therapist is a great idea. A professional to help guide you through what you are going through is a smart idea. Good luck on your journey... and keep us posted on your journey/recovery.

That's powerful! I would elaborate but I know you already know how difficult it can be for your daughter at her age. I know that pain very well. Yep The fact you care makes a BIG difference for her.
