    Overcoming learned helplessness?

    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...

    News Florida man charged with trying to 'barbecue' sex offenders at motel

    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...

    Insert Swearish Rant Here

    @Neverthesame...I may try to hire you to rant for me someday! Lol. I’d pay to have my gripes put so succinctly!

    Significant other interprets everything as personal

    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...

    News Florida man charged with trying to 'barbecue' sex offenders at motel

    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!

    News Florida man charged with trying to 'barbecue' sex offenders at motel

    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...

    Assault Poisoned by father

    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...

    My abuser contacted my therapist - considering seeing a new therapist

    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.

    What do you avoid at all costs?

    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...

    Do you have maladaptive daydreaming?

    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...

    Paranoid thinking, needing to control

    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...

    How does everyone pull themselves out of the downward spiral of saddening and fear that i am in?

    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...

    Panic attacks that make you want to physically hide from everything?

    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...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    #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?
