    Relationship Screwed up with partner

    Agree 100% on calling police, SUICIDE HOTLINE, etc. These are usually ill-informed people who arrive when it comes to PTSD. They have always escalated my situation and wow. Not good for me. We need some serious help in this country for mental health. I wasnʻt even aware of the stigma...

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Pink - Party Started! Have it to HAPPY MUSIC and it mostly keeps me out of my racing thoughts.

    Rebuilding my life after long-term narcissistic abuse

    I havenʻt been on for awhile. I was assaulted by a customer while working and avoid looking at books or this screen. Perm damage to my L eye and itʻs difficult. That was (9/30/22) and the past 13 months have been sheer hell. Abuse at home, abuse at work. More abuse at work because I wouldnʻt...

    Suicidal and trying to manage

    I don’t know how to use this site. I’m desperate to talk with someone - but more desperate for someone to be here with me to SHOW ME how to do things. Like understand SSA which just admitted they “strong armed” me into filing early. I’m in an emotionally abusive relationship beyond belief. I...

    Sufferer Lynxx's Autobiography - I endured, sexual, physical, verbal, emotional, psychological abuses for over 20 years.

    Hi Sarah. I understand your feelings of inabilities to move forward. I don’t know how to use this site - hardly at all - and i’d like you to know you’re not alone. I am so sorry for your experience in life. If you aren’t angry, it’s amazing, but I think that comes with time. You are exactly half...

    Piecing things together

    I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I want you to know that I can honestly say I know what you’re talking about. I don’t know how to use this site, how to cut and paste- but not know if you’re husband is safe or not? You’re example says it all. Belittling. His remark. I know it’s one of...

    I Was... Accosted? Or: Trust Me, I’m a Doctor

    I don’t see any fluff here, but you haven’t seen me write. I completely know your experience as the same thing happened to me - too many times to count. But it was with a dentist, and his advances didn’t seem out of the ordinary because I was trained from a young age. This affair went on for...

    Sufferer Paralyzed With Fear Most Of The Time, CSA, DV

    Thank you, but I am so far from strong! OMG. I have a call set up with my DV counselor this Friday and maybe she has some ideas. My old friend who moved across country has not to much to do with me anymore. I’m a handful. I wish I knew how to act normal I used to. At least act like I knew...

    I notice I’m not so great at delivering good news. The test went fine. I would advise asking your doctor about getting mammogram after your vaccines. If I knew what I know now I would have had it done first, or waited. I fortunately didn’t have to have ultrasound. Money I’m talking money here...

    Sufferer Paralyzed With Fear Most Of The Time, CSA, DV

    The woman at the social security office told me not to divorce my husband. She was looking at my financial situation which is so bad. There is no money coming in. I was unable to put enough credits together through my working years. I had countless jobs, all of them short-lived. I don’t play...

    Sufferer Paralyzed With Fear Most Of The Time, CSA, DV

    I don’t call myself a survivor. I’m still just surviving. I don’t know how one would be a survivor of ptsd. I don’t know how to let go of the anger. I lived exactly how I was taught. I thought I most people were living like I was. No, they were going to college, I was running. I didn’t...

    I guess what I mean by gaslighting is trying to make me believe he had all these ideas even to what plants to put in!! Just not true! I let it go. I said a couple things like that he couldn’t really believe that. How could he remember something that never happened? And then I disengaged. He’s...

    That takes my breathe away. Terrified. I don’t know how to interact w people anymore. I don’t know what to do for money. I’m 65. It blows my mind I’ve wasted my life away. I just didn’t know.
