    Childhood did anyone else do this after getting molested or sexually assaulted?

    I really like that part. I'm sorry this happened to you. I'm glad you are able to get rid of a lot of the shame.

    Childhood did anyone else do this after getting molested or sexually assaulted?

    thank you @arfie @LittleBigFoot and @JadeB. I'm really trying to be gentle and tolerate toward myself. I have a lot of shame around this area of my life. I really didn't understand what it was. I have always done it a lot especially as a little kid. I have even done in front of people at times...

    Childhood did anyone else do this after getting molested or sexually assaulted?

    I feel really alone in this. I was molested and right after I masturbated for the first time in my life. It's kind of a pivotal moment when you do this for the first time. the entire experience has really messed with me. It took me a long time to tell my therapist I did this. I asked my...

    Childhood Dealing with a plethora of triggers, often unknown

    This was a big part of my problem with identifying triggers. Basically telling myself "no it can't be that reason. That is silly it doesn't even make sense that I'm triggered by that" 🤦‍♂️ I started by just asking myself "what if you are correct and this is triggering you? Is there any reason...

    Sexual Assault Need Other Women's Experiences

    Ya I have this happen. It's one of the worst parts of my ptsd. It only happens to me with 2 or 3 specific memorys. When it happens it's also an endless cycle. I get triggered then I get turned on then I get more triggered and so on. Sorry if this is tmi but maybe you will relate and it will...

    New systems at work involves a lot of writing

    Thank you @Sideways @Friday and @Movingforward10 That's so cool that you did that sideways. it's incredible you taught yourself all of that. Friday I'm 100% going to have to look into Dysgraphia. Because that sounds just like me. I had teacher stay for hours after school was over before...

    New systems at work involves a lot of writing

    I'm honestly really struggling at work right now because we have this new system and we have to write everything down. we have to write notes to each other, and write down everything we clean, and write down what other people should do. I was molested by a kid at school he was in 6th grade and...

    CSA and strange sexual desires make me feel disgusting

    I relate to this so much your not alone. I know when I get really badly triggered I feel like I'm constantly turned on for a while after. and then I get more triggered because I was obviously being tuned on by the same types of things that happened when I was molested. so ya it's a cycle and it...

    My boss is guilting me for taking breaks

    This is genius 👏 actually Or at least it's fun to think about. It's something to try. Or at least just say I'm going to the bathroom. instead of "can" I go to the bathroom. Being less passive about it would probably help. As far as it being a different bathroom. It really depends on the...

    My boss is guilting me for taking breaks

    Ya thank you good points. I'm really caught up in the fear it's causing me. But it's a basic human right and necessity. I wish I had more people on my side but everyone else just gose along with it. There upset with me because I don't. She's the type of person who would deny it. She would...

    My boss is guilting me for taking breaks

    OK so I work at a fairly slow coffee shop. A lot of the time it is just me there. We don't normally take our 10 minute break. (This is illegal were I live but I can't do much to change it) I am fine with this except for one problem. I'm being talked down to for even leaving for 2 minutes to use...

    Addressing shame

    Ya being a teenager is already hard enough. Add on top of it feeling about sex that your peers are not having. It's easy to feel a lot of shame. And it's so intense because at least for me I had already had this sexual thing happen to me at 6. I had already built this model of attraction around...

    Addressing shame

    I relate to this so much. I remember being like 16 and having a panic attack because I found Emma Stone attractive. I thought I was having a heart attack. At that point I felt so much shame about being gay that I thought ya this makes sense. I was a full time missionary at the time. I was...
