    Medical Is this a trauma response? (Cancer caretaker trauma)

    Hi everyone, Without getting too into it, I had a grandparent in high school who was diagnosed with a very rare form of cancer. They miraculously survived for about a year or two, with a prognosis of one to two months. I was around 15-16 years old and saw a lot of their illness, treatment side...

    Sexual Assault Difficult one - Have any of you ever had a very brief snippet of a memory, but not even a clear memory?

    This is so so helpful, thank you for sharing this perspective. I did feel powerless RE: my dad and how he treated me, and especially how he was raising my younger brother so I can see how that would translate into my dream world.

    Sexual Assault Difficult one - Have any of you ever had a very brief snippet of a memory, but not even a clear memory?

    I don't have much to add other than a rollcall of "yes this happens to me, too." I actually have a very blurry memory with my own grandfather like you, but like you said, it's blurry - not enough to really make sense of it. I know that when I was younger than 4/5, my dad would take me into the...

    Childhood COCSA (Child on Child Sexual Abuse) I don't know what to do with this information.

    @Mach123 you absolutely took the words out of my mouth, thank you for sharing your perspective. @Twedont is new here, potentially sharing this very stressful information for the first time and also shared that they have repeatedly been told "stop overthinking" "you didn't experience trauma" etc...

    Childhood COCSA: An old situation just came back to my mind and I can’t think about anything else.

    I don't have much to add here besides my condolences and to share similar experiences. I've known for a lot of years that I was a victim of CSA/incest but it wasn't until this month that I learned about the term COCSA. Just like you, I also had experiences playing "House" and other games where...

    Medical Triggered from period cramps

    So, I went out last night. I was responsible with my alcohol intake but I still took in a heck of a lot of sugar and this morning wham bam thank you ma'am - I start my period. It's probably been one of my most intense ones I've had in a long ass time so it's really swept me off my feet. It...

    Reminding myself physically that I'm in the present moment?

    Hey everyone, hope all are well Im not sure if this is the right branch of forum to ask this on, but what are your most reliable ways of reminding your body that you're physically safe and in the present moment? Like "hey body, we're not in the past anymore, we're in our own apartment alone"...

    I don't know what I'm doing but I need to put this down somewhere

    Thank you, that means a lot. I'm really trying. Also no, writing to my brother would be out of the question. I'm so determined about not putting him in the middle of all the adults he still lives with. I wouldn't want to put him in a position to either defend me and get picked on, or join the...
