It’s weird, how much time I spend with myself. I say this jokingly of course. But I agree that time spent with oneself can grow a sense...

You say host, then later us, so is the host not currently in control? Or is there simply no one person that’s the main host. That...

The self blame leads to your confirming your inner critic is correct. The other than that I often feel if Im sharing and standing up for...

I only have dissociating and some derealization. I can’t imagine how DID might feel for you. To “wake up” so to speak, and parts of your...

all of this is so ducking 🦆 true for me. I’m so scared of making others feel the way that I do that most of the time I don’t stand up...

Well, I can tell you one thing: You have the gift of diplomacy. When I was young, someone once said to me, "You act like every asshole...

Why? You have no obligation to answer them, but why did you speak to a few words though not address the rest of the post? I mean that in...

May you explain this part? From what I searched it means “the art of dealing with people in a sensitive and effective way.” Though this...

good one, leia! ! ! and here i thought it was an original coinage. . . i also got a rap song by lucidity maverick. i wasn't able to find...

okay okay okay, thank you for your suggestions.

I realized while visiting a friend that I’m no longer invested in friendships anymore. I still keep in contact with them more so out of...

So yesterday, a person who I thought I was going to be friends with for a good chunk of time sort of ended the friendship. She's a...

I’m not for sure if this is what you mean, so please feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, but solidifying or proving those memories to...

Not sure I would trust such memory recall under those conditions. Cannabis is renown for causing false memories and such problems, so...

Rough sketch. I’m still useless with my childhood. And there’s a lot I don’t remember so I’ve never had more than a rough sketch...

in my own case, it is always possible to create a trauma timeline. the accuracy of my creation is always suspect as new memories emerge...

I’m trying to figure out how to do a trauma timeline with mostly repressed memories. Since October of last year I’ve been slowly having...

Why when I searched “Psychotick” a villain from the television show Power Rangers came up 😂 I’ll have to try this, thank you :) it...

I have had a bit of an issue with intrusive thoughts in the past, and this sounds a lot like that. Tbh, for me the thing I need to do...

Does thought stopping help? Saying "I don't need to hear this phrase, so I won't repeat it" or something like that?

I had stuff like that. I tried to play around with it. So like if my automatic response was that it was flashbacks from abuse, I would...

dunno the why or the name for ^it^ but i have this problem with a vengeance. it can be a mean psychotick when coupled with a trauma...

sounds similar to what has been called, "depersonalization" in my own therapy sessions. that name resonates for me. when i am not quite...

Yesterday, an old phrase popped in my head again “Pull your panties down.” It appears sporadically, sometimes associated with anxiety...

As WhiteRaven pointed out, many on this forum experienced medical malpractice of sorts. Unless you meant something else, I’m sure here...

Thank you LeiaFlower for listening and offering your advice. It really is a tough situation to navigate. No solution is right. At times...

Like Sideways and yourself stated no one can really answer whether or not you were abused. Though that being said sexual promiscuity...

You’re definitely in a tough situation, Strongshadow96. Even if she does become homeless it is not your fault nor your burden to carry...

Totally okay! Welcome even! But use the Contact Us facility to not derail the thread any further👍

Is okay to ask you a question or will that result in a ban as well?

Usually it’s not like this. It’s best to ignore certain people. It can be frustrating when Moderator Plain Jain states that rest of has...

It depends on the subtype though anyone with any mental disorder or even just due to their personality can be difficult. Not necessarily...

Yeah, I have a sibling who was first diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder but later diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder instead...

There is a great article on the header.” How to Use Triggers As A Means To ReCovery?” You might read that.

thank you :) I hope to make the same progress

At the top of the website under articles. It helped me very much. I am rarely triggered anymore as I made note and worked the...

Is it on the this website or somewhere else? I was confused on what the header meant, but it sounds like a really good read.

My perspective: telling you you are beautiful, and winking at you, are really inappropriate things for a therapist to do. do raise it...

I wish I could add more to the conversation besides the fact that I understand what you mean about wanting to save your sibling. And if...

You’re in a different part of the world to me, but if it helps at all? Hospital is a great place to be if you’re homeless...

EMDR definitely has an affect on a lot of things. Since you’re targeting past memories sometimes those memories can stay in our...

That’s kind of disheartening that others will rather lose a friend because of something that could be constructive criticism. We have...

It sounds like her children are quite young, aged 3 and younger. And pushing another sibling at that age, is normal and not abuse. It's...

I think this part is important in the area where you say you’re too confrontational. It’s something you noticed and agree with but not...

I forgot to say. I don’t she genuinely tries to not respect or support me. We both grew up in the same household so maybe the abuse...

My sister stated that her feeling trapped is when I would ask her to do things for instance me asking for help with my makeup. Or I...

I’m trying to work on processing things more. So if it seems like I’m spam posting I do apologize. If my inner critic wasn’t loud...

I think you should let things be. At least for a period of months (6 or so), before passing on new contact details.

Should I give her my new number or let things be.

I experienced something similar Leia. I'm still figuring it out myself. I think it goes back to my childhood and my relationship with my...
