I find it so difficult to post on the forum, but have been encouraged to do so. Today is such a sad day and I can't email or see my therapist for another week. I received bad news this morning and I don't know how to cope with it on my own. Life just isn't fair. How much hurt can a person take? How many times does life have to kick you while you are down? I'm still trying to cope with this whole therapy thing - boundaries, attachment, my mixed up life - and now this! Why now??? How do I pick up the pieces and carry on? How do I cope on my own? It feels as if there just isn't hope anymore.. I really miss my T today, she would know what to do.....

I've felt that way too often. I couldn't take much more hurt and disappointment. It seemed like that was the only thing that came my way. And my T was the only thing that gave me hope too.

Hope you can hang in there. Are you working? Do you have the week off from work? Sometimes I find that keeping busy helps a lot. And sometimes just going to the grocery store and just chatting with the checkout girls can really help boost my mood. The little things help.

Thanks for your encouragement. I had to close my business last year due to a breakdown and haven't been able to get back up again. I have gone into total isolation and can't even manage anything at the moment. So no work yet. I also don't manage to go out or to go to a friend, I get severe panic attacks. So it's just me. I've been in therapy for a year now.

It feels as if I'm a bunny trying to climb out of a whole just to have somebody shooting at me!

Thanks Smiley, hopeful and starfish

Thanks yaku, it does help to get encouraged and hugs from you all. I'm really hurting and don't know what to do with it. Some therapy stuff are starting to surface too - some flashes and nightmares too and I can't make sense of any of it and don't know how to deal with it. I've been dissociating a lot during therapy, so I can't even remember what my T would say. I also just can't cope with being so attached, wish there was an easier way..

Hugs to all of you too xx
