MDJunction to me

djfilippone"Before I found this site I felt so alone.  Watching my daughter struggle with IH and being treated like she had two heads from doctors.    I have plenty of family and friends but there was nobody that really knew what she was going through.
I not only have support and love from others who will listen and share their
story, but I have made some forever friends.  Having this support site does make a difference to many.

Healing Social Anxiety Through Healthy Grief
Written by Janice23   
12 April 2010

 This is a Good Article on healthy grieving for anyone, Social Anxiety or not-- Even though it deals with "Social Anxiety" (which I personally have) it is really mostly about the principles of opening oneself to a healthy grieving process (the idea being that 'healthy grief' can help you to let let go of things that were previously hard to let go of). For me it helped me to let go of control issues around my anxiety problems (which I suspect were really a kind of 'emotional scar' dues to earlier abuse and trauma). Anyway, I haven't posted the whole article, but have excerpted part of it--

 

 

 Healing Social Anxiety through Healthy Grief

 

     Feelings of sadness are especially well known to people who have suffered from years of social anxiety. Sadness has been for many of us a frequent companion. For others of us, sadness may remain buried at the unconscious level, packed away under the constant stress of living with social fear; or kept at a distance by a life built around perpetual avoidance. Whatever the case, unresolved grief is a major feature of the social anxiety syndrome. This is hardly surprising since we are people who have experienced a great deal of loss. Although individual patterns vary, we have all experienced loss of one kind or another or we would not be in Social Phobic’s Anonymous today.

Why we stay: The psychology behind loving your abuser
Written by madgardener   
09 April 2010

 

This is a research paper i wrote for my psychology 101 class at college. It was very important to me to write this paper because it helped me face my abuse head on.  To admit it happened and to let go of the shame. It is my hope that reading it helps at least one other person feel better about themselves.

It originally ended up to be 20 pages but i had to cut it way down to I think 5 or 6 pages, so if it seems choppy at all.... well thats why. I just got so into the research, the pages just kept flying out of me. next thing i knew i practically had a book written lol.  I have a bibliography if anyone is interested in my sources on the facts.  We were not requited to put in text citations referencing where it came from, so its just a list of sources. I MAY be able to remember which source a specific fact came from if you ask.  After writing this paper i considered switching majors and persuing a career in academic psychology research and study.  But it was the end of my last quarter and the class was just a requirement to get my AA degree in pastry and specialty baking.
