Woodsy1, I really appreciate your thoughts and insights. I ended up going for a walk yesterday after I saw this and it really helped. You are a truly kind human being. Thank you for your support during a hard day. It helped a lot. Thank you very much. I really appreciate your time and...

Thanks for your reply and your empathy. Yeah, I feel so out of place. I might as well be an alien- we are so different. I try so hard to be open minded, but almost everything they say I end up feeling offended by. It is probably me being unfair, but I can’t stop the feeling anyways. I feel lost...

Hello all, I feel so alone and I just really really need some kind words of help with two things. I am back at my partner's family home, which coincidentally is in the same town where my ex-abuser lives. I have been dissociating all Thanksgiving break and my heart is pounding non-stop. I feel...

It is so good to know I am not alone. Thank you kind people.

Thank you all for responding. I feel validated!!!

Today I was at work and there was a man who looked exactly like my abusive ex who used to stalk me. I am always terrified that he will find me and attack me again.... anyways, this man at work looked very similar to him. I saw him one time and I ran straight to my office and had a panic attack...

Thank you everyone for your supportive comments. I really appreciate your time and thoughtful replies. I think I will contact my doctor. You all are right, it might also be a medical issue! Has anyone done telehealth sessions with a PCP? I am nervous about it! What has it been like for you if...

Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the support and kind words <3

Hi everyone! Ever since I finally got away and am finally safe I have these random episodes of vomiting. The vomiting reminds me of when I used to be gagged and choked, but I haven’t noticed any specific triggers that start the vomiting. Does anyone else vomit all the time? I don’t feel sick...

Thank you all for your kind and thoughtful responses! For the past few weeks I have been listening to music and I got these tub stickable toys for the wall. Doing both of these things together really really helped. It isn’t totally gone, but definitely is improved!! Thank you all for your...

I’m sorry you went through this too! Thank you so much for the tip and support! I love the idea of being able to do art in there♥️

Hi bellbird, Thank you so much ? I really appreciate you for sharing your ideas. I like the idea of putting things in the shower to help ground me. And I’m sorry you went through this too, but I’m glad not to feel alone. Sending wishes of peace to you!!

This is a great thread! For me, I like to make a cup of tea and wrap up in a heated blanket. Sometimes I will watch funny YouTube videos of cute animals while I do that or look at Pinterest crafts I want to try.

Not every time, but most of the time when I shower I become super dysregulated and I can’t seem to stop having flashbacks and dissociating. I have to get out immediately in order to calm myself. But it’s so ridiculous because I literally have to shower.... do others have this experience? If so...
