Ashley TrippPublished about a year ago in PsycheHealing is letting your inner child tell their story
Healing is letting your inner child tell their story. I haven’t let my inner child tell her story as I didn’t know if I could trust her. I felt ashamed for her. My experiences and emotions living with an ED were dismissed and invalidated by the people closest to me to the point I didn’t trust my own reality anymore. I am not writing this to blame anyone, as we are all doing the best we can with the understanding and knowledge we have. However, it made me feel ashamed for what I was going through. Unable to show up in vulnerability and asking for help. For many years, I stayed quiet, hiding this part of myself and slowly losing my voice. To me letting my inner child tell her story means showing her compassion and validation for what she has been through. It means letting her use her voice – maybe for the first time ever.

Terrell GreenwoodPublished about a year ago in PsycheWhy Safety is Terrifying
People believe safety is comfortable, but I believe safety is terrifying. Safety is an idea that society has created to lie to us, to tell us that we are protected, when in reality, we are all exposed constantly to dangers that some may not even realize they are exposed to. When you walk outside, what’s to keep someone from running you over with their car? I’d be lying if I said I never considered, either for a brief moment or a lengthier time as my car rolled forward toward the person walking across the street naively, running that person over with my car just to see what would happen. When you eat dinner, what is to stop another from grabbing a knife and hacking away at you? How violent, you think, but have you never had even the slightest momentary thought where you pictured hurting someone?

Feriha TuranPublished about a year ago in PsycheWhen my boyfriend took his own life.
It's 4 AM and I can't sleep and I'm definitely not thinking of him. I'm wide awake it's 4:15 and I'm definitely not thinking of him. I'm totally not thinking that right now he'd be watching law and order and guessing all the endings wrong and I'd be thinking it's great that he wants to be a teacher and not a cop. It's so strange that I felt comfortable with someone so confusing. I should have known this wouldn't go the way I thought. I really didn't think he would do what he did. No one knows just how much I miss him, I really do.

Vadym LukachynaPublished about a year ago in PsycheWhy Don’t I Have Feelings, in Early Recovery?
When we take drugs, it produces dopamine into the body. Our body will stop producing its own dopamine. If our body is no longer producing its own natural dopamine we can no longer feel. With naturally made dopamine, it helps us remember survival experiences. If you are in a similar dangerous situation again, you would know what to do because you have that same feeling, without it that danger would not be felt.
