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.
I’m with you. I have this written on every mirror in my house to remind me I’m NOT crazy:
What I went through HAPPENED.
Who I was EXISTED.
Not sure where I read it, but it helps me ~ keep in mind a less than ideal upbringing set the stage for me and my big T wasn’t until I was 28 through 40. I...
I can't remember where I read this (probably here) but I feel this sums it up nicely:
I can tell it to you
I can't understand it to you
I can't live it to it to you
I can't experience it to you
I can't feel it to you
I can't survive it to you

It’s the difference between life and tv.
We don’t experience or sympathize with actors or characters even though we may empathize with them or become involved in the story.
“Life” isn’t like the movies.
Ermehgürd...anxiety? I transform from your average mommy of three, already struggling her butt off with cPTSD, into the single most useless and massively suicidal wackjob ever. I already struggle with identity/reality but this goes to an extreme where I do not recognize this creature in my...
I’m very anti pharma too - Are you sure CBDs are illegal there? We live in Colorado where my significant other is a hemp farmer who extracts CBD only (less than 0.3% THC - lab tested for legal reasons) from our harvest and we ship our oils (sublingual) everywhere, including where cannabis is...
I am so sorry you are going through this ordeal while children who desperately need to be removed from homes where they battle real dangers and abuse daily go unnoticed :(
I will absolutely pray for you and your family...so many of us ended up here due to gross injustice and ignorance.

@Freida thank you - I now have 3 young children of my own and if I could send you one of my daughter's pieces of "art", I know exactly which one I'd choose for you!
Gotcha!
I felt like a complete EMDR flunky because every wonderful place I'd ever known, felt safe and secure when I'd go to and always sought refuge at - I stupidly took the enemy to my hometown & shared with Satan, sullying them all. I still love and adore "my places" in "my mountains" - but...
Whoa
Please accept my apologies for being a bit off topic, but you just provided me with some insight for further research...
I commonly lose my voice and am left speechless or barking in whispers for months - something that never happened prior & has no explanation. It would be a relief to...
I too am glad things went well - as I said, I'm an overprotective mommy along with a high probability of projecting my issues with trust, hyper vigilance, paranoia, etc. upon situations I should not. Please accept my apologies if I overstepped my boundaries - boundaries are a brand new concept...
I hear you, I'm simply a concerned "friend" and a super over protective mommy can't keep her mommy boundaries in check and am driven to ask:
Why do your instincts tell you you need to see, hear and know what's actually going on?
