Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
It doesn’t matter what you do, how hard you try. You are not smart enough. You are stupid and will never amount to anything, so you better just be happy that I tolerate you long enough to treat you badly because no one else will. You will never amount to anything and whenever you start to even...
I’m having trouble with the idea that anyone would think any of us would think the man’s actions were a good idea! However, this guy evidently thought it a good idea and acceptable way to handle the problem, so they have a point. Still, I could not have sympathy for known child molesters...
Wow! You could easily have been describing me and my hubby’s relationship. Glad you are being patient with him, and that he is willing to work on the relationship with you. Even after 25 years of marriage, mine still doesn’t take anything I say personally. Here is the flip side of that: when my...
Hearing you THOROUGHLY blackemerald1. Afraid I would say way too much if I were to do a piece on it. I spend my days out slaying devils with my Bible though. I’m in-PC in more ways than one.
Un-PC. Have to correct autocorrect!
The article says the hotel is in Kissimmee, as in Kissimmee, Florida right outside of Disneyworld. Kissimmee is where many families, including mine, stay when they plan to take the kids to Disney and Seaworld. Any place where excited kids and distracted and stressed parents gather would be an...
I was repeatedly drugged by my grandparents (specifically by my papaw, but my granny knew about it) for years when I was a kid so that he could molest and rape me. Once, she was arguing with him that it was too much but he said it wasn’t. I had been suspicious of the warm milk they kept giving...
I’ve never regretted trusting my gut. I’ve almost always regretted NOT trusting my gut. Bottom line: you don’t owe her any explanation. If you drop her an email or message explains you won’t be seeing her for a while, that would be a courtesy on your part. Simple.
That dreaded question: Are you doing okay?
What are you supposed to say? No. I barely made it here and I’m giving it all I got to try and look/act normal, like nothing is wrong. So you had to ask and make me want to drive my anxiety ridden butt back home somehow and descend into a raw, angry...
I have had the same problem my whole life, and I don’t post it or talk about it for the same reasons you mention. I have noticed through the years, though, that my daydreams in some way relate to trauma I endured in early (VERY early) life. You are not alone in it being MALadaptive, or in having...
I beat myself up too, over everything I might have said wrong, might not have said when should, might have did wrong, not did, why did so-and-so look at me like that?! What did I do now?! Don’t they know how hard it was for me just to show up?! I should have just stayed home. Can’t I just fall...
I have no advice to offer you, Nic, just a high-five for hanging in there. I have the same downward spirals over and over. Personally (I know everyone is different), I keep going downhill until I finally give in and allow myself a day to just grieve/feel raw. I saw a video once on a website (it...
I hide behind a creepy plastered-on smile, while inside I mentally scope out any and everything that could be used as a weapon. Even something I could grab some attacker and slam them into to stop them. Then I look around and see all the sweet people around me and feel like a lunatic. But a...
#6 !!!!! Makes me feel juevenile...”...’s looking at me!” Really, is it too much to ask for people to just not notice I’m there and pretend not to see me in the corner trying to blend in with the wall?
