    Soooo hot. Like 28C here. My English bones ain’t happy about it. I’m sweating my tits off.

    What would you think/ do?

    You are in no way expecting too much or sounding anyway ungrateful. I do think it’s something you should discuss, and he’s probably self aware enough to realise his organisational skills aren’t his strong suit. He could potentially take extra effort if he knows it’s triggering distrust in your...

    Thinking of working with drug addicts

    Why not use it as a bit of a super power? The only thing to consider is the levels of burnout in this kind of work, especially dealing with the demand of a conveyer belt of clients. Would that be something that you see effecting you? But saying that, did you like this work? I have the mentality...

    my point was if you walk in to a psychiatrists office and say that it was aliens, then they’re skeptical. I’m not saying that would be their complete assessments, just that that would be something that they’re used to dealing with, and it would be something they’d consider. From what I know of...

    psychiatrists are used to treating psychosis. They hear aliens and they’d go there. ??? Have you read what I wrote? Maybe, but this happened recently. I agree that something is incredibly off about this. I never diagnosed them with anything, I just said what I was thinking to see if it would...

    I mean, whatever is going on you deserve to get help. I completely believe there’s something that’s happened. But, I’m going to say that if you go to any psychiatrist or therapist and claim it was aliens that abducted you their initial thought would be psychosis. As you start to open up and...

    I was thinking something more like an interpretation of it. With the things brains do and all. But also, good point.

    Whatever you think would be helpful. On this site you can create a trauma diary, and that is something that you can share your story and update, as well as get support through other memories, or even just people being there and hearing you. I’m from the UK so I’m not entirely sure how it works...

    That sounds like it’s triggering some symptoms for you. There’s many grounding techniques that’ll work for that. If you google “101 grounding techniques” there’s a very good website that my therapist uses. Not everything will work, just try out different things if you can. Any intrusive...

    Screwed

    I think it’s easy at first to not understand why you react the way you do. Mistakes can happen, but when you swing for people, there’s consequences. Anger management could be really beneficial. I mean, do you feel bad about it? Or are you more worried about the consequences? There’s therapies...
