Relationship Unsure What To Do About Belongings Left Behind...

I hear you and respect your position. Fortunately for me, not all trauma therapist believe the same...

To be honest, I am not sure what your reply means in general. Perhaps you could elaborate what your talking points and perspective is in more detail.

Love to keep this about you and your needs within the current situation. :rolleyes:

For instance, can you handle someone possibly abandoning you and whatever else? Do you see this as something that you can live with? Do you feel you deserve more? Because...whether or not several of us debate aspects of PTSD , it does not address you as a person in this moment with your own needs and pain. I am so sorry for your hurt.

She said she can feel and remember some of what happens but more as a passenger more than herself being in control.

Wow, that's what it's like when my alters are driving the body...
But an alter taking over, dissociation, psychotic rage...they all kinda-sorta look alike...maybe feel alike, may overlap...

Her symptoms are driving her...but not excusing her.

I agree with @Recovery4Me re:, relationships.

it is impossible for me to believe that anyone with fully symptomatic untreated PTSD is in full command of their emotions, always living in "wise mind".

I agree with this above as well ^^ , but I don't think many people in general live necessarily "in full command of their emotions, always living in 'wise mind' ", for whatever reasons.

I do not understand what wise mind is.

I'm not sure how my personal experiences which are mirrored in others that I know with PTSD and in much written documentation about PTSD is at odds with what others on this thread experience (in what seems to be very major ways). I'm going to bow out at this point as it seems that I'm unable to be of any assistance.

(And majorly questioning why my experiences seem to be wrong? Maybe that's not the right word. Personal demons of mine; questioning reality? It's a struggle I can't seem to overcome.)

(((hugs))) Sometimes things are not black or white (right or wrong) but beautiful shades in between. You are a wonderful intellect and differences of opinion does not tarnish but strengthen understanding within diversity.
