Q1. 11.00 - I live with my mom and sex is a very very difficult topic. I want to be able to invite him over and to go in my room with him and fool around with out worrying my mom is in the apartment. How do I talk to her about all this? How do I get over my fear of talking about sex or even just talk about my relationship with him with her. Q2. 16.00 - While I suffer from general unhappiness, I also suffer from specific distress. My father has seemingly cut me out of his life. I have no respect for him, but his rejection of me pains me. Q3. 22.27 - I have mentioned beforehand that I have been concerned about low libido for a while. I know that we mentioned that I might be asexual, but it is clear that my libido is much lower than it was at the start of this year. I found a condition called "hypoactive sex disorder". From some more googling, I found out that NICE (the body for clinical standards in the UK) does not recognise hypoactive sex disorder. Do you think that this is a genuine condition? If so, how is it usually treated? It doesn't sound as if any doctor in the UK would treat it as a condition, but I might be able to try a few things myself to explore why my libido has dropped and try to get it going again. Q4. 29.15 - About eight months ago I experienced a traumatic situation. I found out I was unexpectedly pregnant (was one birth control at the time) then in two and half weeks I lost the baby in a traumatic way. Shortly after that I started to get really bad panic attacks, and have continued to suffer super bad anxiety, anxiety attacks and deep depression. I have been seeing my therapist through an all of this and I’m on new medication since April. Any suggestions on how to continue to get better Q5. 36.00 - What can you do when you finally realize you don't have real value in the world? Q6. 40.38 - Can you talk about what a session of EMDR might look like? Q7. 46.09 - I’m back to my work for last couple of months, but it seems that I struggle with it. Every couple of weeks I have breakdown at work and I’m ending up going home as sick. Usually next day I’m managing to force myself to go there again to prove myself that there is nothing to be scared of, but last time I just couldn’t make myself to stay there. Any ideas how I can make this little bit easier until I will be able to get to my therapy weekly again? Q8. 51.25 - I have a problem, which is that I am incredibly scared, not of throwing up myself but of witnessing someone else throw up. I was wondering if exposure therapy is the only way to work on something like this? Or are there other ways that are effective? Also is there a way I could start to work on this on my own, without a therapist? Q9. 57.40 - How do you support a friend going through a really hard time, while still being aware of your own mental health. Both myself and one of my close friends have PTSD that has been quite intense lately. How can I be there for her through this, especially when the legal side of it all could go on for months, while still looking after myself? Q10. 1.04.00 - Any advice on how to stop suicidal thoughts even when you seem to have tried alot of things and nothing seems to be working . Q11. 1.11.40 - My question is, is Voluntary Mutism the same as Selective Mutism?. Having history of anxiety what are my chances of actually ever getting past it and having the ability to socialize with my family and friends like a normal person? Or should I just radically except the fact that I’m going to have to deal with this anxiety the rest of my life? Q12. 1.16.38 - Do you have any suggestions for those with mental illnesses dating others with the same or similar mental illnesses and traumas? Q13. 1.20.38 - I'm not sure how to word this and it's probably going to be all over the place, but I am having crazy anxiety at night to the point where if I don't go to bed and sleep it away, I feel like I am in pain and cannot stop shaking and feeling uncomfortable (chest tightness, stomach flutter). I just want to be able to enjoy my night without the idea of time and on days when I'm hanging out with a friend I can stay up a little later. Q14. 1.29.41 - I keep saying things that dont make any sense, or that makes people misunderstand my message and might seem more or less inappropriate, or strange because of the way I say it, sometimes I insult people because I am trying to say something, but what im actually saying is completely different than what i mean to.. How much does being something more then your mistakes matter, when your alone with whatever that "more" is, and the world keeps saying your not more, you are your misstakes, meaning someone who allways needs to go and find that "somewhere else, just not here" place. Q15. 1.39.09 - My older brother abused me (5.5 yr age gap)...more than once but unsure how many times...I was no older than 12....but could have been as young as 6. He has since apologised and we have a good relationship. The apology happened at least 12 yrs ago. When he apologised I quickly shut the conversation down after quickly acknowledging it. I told him to promise he would never do it to anyone else. I feel triggered. My husband's dad, her grandfather... is watching my daughter for the first time in the morning...I want to text my sister in law and just straight up ask if he's a safe person without giving away specifics...fuck!? Also, to get to go to my psych appointments sometimes, my brother looks after my daughter...I trust him...but again...what if something happens...it would be my fault. Q16. 1.51.03 - Last month I asked about getting over an episode where I split on my wife. That same night, after splitting on her I went to the house of the guy who she cheated on me with and left a message on his ring doorbell cctv. I really couldn't remember what I said but I knew it couldn't have been good. How do I move on? I've tried and tried and tried, but I just can't seem to get over it and can't let it go.
