That sounds very invalidating... Is she usually like that? I can't help but wonder as I read your comments about your mother if perhaps she is slightly emotionally abusive? Emotional abuse isn't always screaming or name calling etc, it can be much more subtle than that... Perhaps you would be interested in learning some more about emotional abuse here: http://www.eqi.org/eabuse1.htm

She suggested some natural meds to me and said other than that she´d like me to think about going to a psychosomatic hospital for four weeks. Weird. I don´t feel that bad. I somehow give off the wrong vibes to people.

Did you like the therapist? Going to a psychosomatic hospital seems fairly drastic to me (not that I'd actually know, seeing as I've never actually been to one). Maybe she thinks it might help you improve lots and quickly? It could be helpful and might mean that maybe you didn't "give off the wrong vibes" of feeling "that bad", she might just think it would be super productive?

Thanks for the link. Interesting, according to that side, my mum is slightly and my dad extremely emotionally abusive.

Hm. I´ll see the therapist on Monday and will tell her she misinterpreted things. I think I really did seem hopeless and flat. But I can´t help it, if I meet new people, my face stays straight, no expression there, my voice becomes raspy and I sort of follow through with a list in my head that tells me how to act in the situation. And therapy sessions mean being serious and traumatized.

Hello and welcome to the forum. I hope you find it helpful and supportive here.

I just posted something under tha self injury forum.. It feels good that there are people out there going through something similar & its good to see that people do care about you when they dont even know you because we all have big struggles we go through day in & day out.. I still feel uncomfortable on sharing some of the things I go through but it is a relief to vent out to this blog. I think I found a home on the net. =)

Hello and welcome.

I'm sorry to hear you have past abuse issues. I know how difficult that can be as I also have past abuse issues. It is very common that people with abuse issues also suffer from depression so I hope that by starting to resolve some of your abuse issues you will see an improvement in your mood also.

Feel free to have a look around at all of the different forums, to post a comment on another person's thread or to start your own thread about your own issues. I hope you find being here a helpful and enriching experience.

Hello Saltedlipstick thankyou for the welcome sorry you have abuse issues to nice to meet you
