I seriously thought this was just something I did... When you almost vomit (have a panic attack) seeing the detective who investigated & dropped my assault case

Absolutely, anger is so misconstrued by society, and often by parents too. I've found DBT Emotion Regulation Skills to be helpful for learning about anger and what is a 'myth' that we've been taught, and what's real. It's just hard to put things into practice and feel rather than think and...

I relate so strongly to this! I also tend to "understand" people's reasons, their trauma and why they did what they did - I feel sympathy for my abusers. I expressed anger only at myself as a kid because I was afraid of being violent like my parents. This has created a block to being angry at...

They (my health professionals) call it "using my intellect as a defense" I was classified as a "Gifted child" and my intelligence seemed to be my only worth. So combine that with trauma, I just learned to over analyze everything. Instead of feeling anything, I just intellectualize it to an...

THIS THIS THIS!!!! For the OP, I went 21 years with undiagnosed ADHD. Yes, I also have PTSD, but ADHD is so vastly different from the way PTSD fog is. My ADHD is always there at a pretty severe level. My PTSD has bad days and good days. The cup analogy is great for deciding if you should look...

I avoid so much so often that I don't realize I do it until I'm called out on it. My biggest thing is I avoid anything that may result in failure. I have this deep seeded fear of failure, therefore I don't attempt anything ,even if it's likely I will succeed at it. I also avoid all reminders of...

I'm curious to know did they test if it helped nightmares or just sleep in general? Cause I take it solely for the nightmares, and those have gotten loads better. My quality of sleep is still rough. But I don't have waking nightmares, night terrors, or nightmares that leave me gasping anymore...

So I had to see that detective again (the one who decided to drop my case). He delivered a subpoena for a DHS case I have to testify in. He asked me if I remembered him. And I lied and say, "UH.?" And he says, "I investigated this DHS case against so-and so." It's like he can remember that...

a chiropractic adjustment. maybe some better boundaries.

You. You deserve to have your foreskin ripped off of your d*ck I can only pray that young girl you're dating bites you hard if you try to do what you did to me. I STILL feel your hands around my neck, motherf*cker. I would punch you in the face if I could. You deserve to suffer. God. I cannot...

Just going to update ya'll. They dropped the case against him because he said it was consensual BDSM and that we just "didn't have a safe word"

I'm so irritable that like... breathing is ticking me off xD

I think I struggle with this as well. My last T I saw for 8 years, and she kinda "replaced" my grandma in my life. I became too attached and also stopped making progress in therapy. I switched therapist about 6 or so months ago, and I felt like I was getting to a healthy relationship with him...

Often times social serivices takes away children in homes where drugs or weapons are found, but ignores/overlooks (due to being overworked) the children who are being neglected, hit and/or abused in other ways.

My body says sleep, a bath, and chiropractic adjustment. My mind says a good cry. The day says I need to go get my cavities filled. Yep, on Halloween. No candy for me.
