That has to be really frustrating. I’d definitely want to get a health assessment if I experienced that and if I had an extended and unusual period of forgetfulness. I can’t speak to being 40 and I’m not a doctor, but since it’s a time when there are a ton of hormonal changes that span years I...
I feel love, paranoia, anxiety, tiredness… I feel drained, disappointed, depressed…
I really need to adjust my attitude and organize my day today. I’ve done a poor job managing things lately and I need to really figure some things out both as a parent and as like, one of these hyooman- beings.
We talked about it, and we’ve never blamed each other for our triggers. But I wont mince words; I lost a week of reasonable health during a high stress time because he acted in a way that resulted and has always resulted in making me sick.
The fact that I do get sick as a result of being yelled...
I try to personify the source of my pain, the litany of hateful BS that just inundates my mind, all directed at me, just tearing me down… I try to separate it by assigning it a “source” or body or whatever that is separate from me.
Then I play a numbers game.
For every shitty thought I have, I...
I had a nightmare about my ex.
I looked at him and felt this intense annoyance. “Aren’t you dead? He said you were dead…” I was confused, and I don’t remember what happened in the dream but I woke up filled with anxiety.
The night before, the “he” in question, the man I love, had lost his shit...
I think his lack of interest in/motivation to please you is what I’d assume to be the problem.
I wonder… does he enjoy sex? I’m concerned that he called you a pervert for desiring pleasure.
Hi... I hope anyone who reads this is well. Smile if you have a sec :) or two or three.
I haven’t been here in years... SO much has happened, and I know no one will remember me. But I’m Reno (nickname from childhood, too terrified to put my name even on Facebook lol) and I hope I’ll be around...
Well it worked out, folks, in case anyone was wondering. I thank you very much for the advice- after everything was explained, and before the trial, because it was a lifesaving event they went ahead and dropped the charges.
the lawyers I did call were a bit steep for me but I've got my fingers crossed. So upset and freaked out by whatever charge/s I got but going to take it a step at a time.
He's certainly trying to fight the charges, and I've sought out legal representation.
In fact he's willing to come entirely clean, and asked them not to press charges in the first place. I can understand why he wasn't willing to come clean in the hospital but I wish he'd just been honest...
the cop on the case tried to get me with felony assault and several other charges but the magistrate didn't approve the majority of them... I hope it gets dropped. I wonder how nervous and unsettled my ex mustt feels bout his charges, now that I'm sitting here facing related ones. oh god.
I feel like nothing is being done in the domestic violence case I have out against my ex except my being advised to request that the case be heard in the mental health docket... Like that's what you get when you rape and stalk your girlfriend.
I whack my boyfriend with a ukulele to make him...
To clarify, he admitted to remembering the things I mentioned only after they released him from the hospital. While he was there, he maintained nothing I said was true and they were under the impression that I actually set him up... just an absolute shitshow and I'm dealing with what I feel are...
Today the state took out a domestic violence charge... against me, after I knocked out my boyfriend in the middle of a suicide attempt... his second attempt this month.
He was in the middle of a severe flashback, and began doing the same things he did the last time he tried to kill himself...
It's clear you're under a lot of strain right now. Take some time to care for yourself today and tomorrow, even if just for 15 minutes, do something just to treat yourself and make you feel good. The fact that your stress is causing you so much physical strain tells me thatt you need some self...
Hey there : ) I'm Reno.
It sounds like you're in a really tough place-- I'm glad you're actively getting help, but if you've begun feeling unsafe again then it's definitely time to take action.
I'm so sorry you're hurting like this, to the point where you're concerned for your safety. And I...
I think it is normal, but when you're dealing with people who care for you and your feelings, even if they're struggling with issues related to ptsd-- it's also normal for them to show empathy even if they find it difficult to directly change those behaviors.
I know I have a big issue with...
Thank you all for your replies and advice. I finally got them to follow up- so irritated and confused by this whole mess. It was the victim witness coordinator who told me that they never followed up, and who encouraged me to make the report in the first place. I'll be sure to contact them again...
I'm scared... I just spent an hour and a half at the police station being bullied and sweet-talked by a dispatcher and an officer in turn throughout my attempt to file an official complaint for police failure to follow up or collect evidence after my ex shot at my house.
This after him...
Hello, I hope this finds everyone well.
I haven't posted or been around in a long time but I'm very confused and could use some help.. my current boyfriend has ptsd and I've found it extremely difficult to handle his sensitivities.
Certain things upset him so much that he's all bit guaranteed...
Not professional help... but I did ask my neighbor (the less-creepy one) to grab my laundry out of the dryer and bring it up to me.
I injured both my knees, though one much worse than the other- and I twisted the opposite ankle to that particular knee... those stairs have been killing me all...
