    Other Asperger's/asd

    @lizbeth27 I attempted to get an assessment. Therapist just indicated that I likely have ASD but was quite dismissive of it because I am "high functioning". ...high functioning and anxiety go hand and hand..not to mention as you noted ..having ASD can make your more vulnerable to abuse. ..she...

    I get her point about the disorganized attachment looking similar. I think though if you consider what you were like pretrauma then you can kinda rule out the attachment style. I feel like my aspergers factored into my abuse as well...it did make me an easy target it impacted every part of it...

    Other Asperger's/asd

    Recently I have learned that I have Autism specifically high functioning or what used to be referred to as Aspergers. I always knew I was different but it made me understand the dynamics around my rape, my responses, the interaction between me and the rapist, even my later rationalizations of...

    Love And Emotional Availability

    You have such a good point. I am going to try really hard to do just that. Thank you so much. i avoid writing, meditating, and being present with myself. For me when I open up to it..i don't have control of it and just keeps going and I seek out safety which opens me up for not good things at...

    Love And Emotional Availability

    I know I should write. Most times though I don't want to open up ...it requires vulnerability..and a wall coming down...with a flood or more like tsunami of feeling falling over...it scares me because I can't easily close it up...so i let it all sort of pool inside of me and then can let it drip...

Thanks..i think everyone is brave here...i remember when I first came to this site and the contact with other people was so uncomfortable and painful I almost ran away I think in some ways I probably did but all the sharing that goes on here from...

I...

    Love And Emotional Availability

    There are times when I come across people that I are really special and I feel like I would prefer to be with someone like that. I am aware of the possibility of cheating and I have to some degree emotionally within the last couple of years probably because I didn't want to kill myself and I...

    Love And Emotional Availability

    Yeah we've been to therapy a ton of times. I am not going to go again. I am tired of begging for the same things I guess.

    So tired.

    I feel like this too...and i feel like no one understands also...when i say that i mean the people in my life i want to be close with and that i want to stop hurting me by rejecting me as i am and expecting me be happy and normal. I am so tired.of not feeling safe because i dont feel ok at home...

    Love And Emotional Availability

    Yes. I support him and if someone else needs me I show up. I think though it's abusive for him to lean on me so much..my ability to bear so much is because I am in survival mode..still fight or flight post trauma. He doesn't allow me to be weak its incredibly painful to be strong so often and be...
