    I don't want to kill myself but i feel like i have to.

    I guess you're right. It doesn't feel worth it though, and i can't see how my life could ever be beautiful. I try really hard but it just feels unrealistic. That's the problem i guess. Even if im wrong. Thank you <3 Im glad you think im expressing myself "brilliantly", i always feel like i...

    I don't want to kill myself but i feel like i have to.

    I just feel like even if i get better it won't be enough. And that my abuser pretty much ruined me and there is no way of me functioning in a healthy or normal way again. I definitely feel like the mental effects of the abuse are irreversible and because of them i can never be happy again. It...

    Relationship Control creeping in again.

    Give him an ultimatum? Either he stops acting like an idiot or you leave. What he is doing is abusive.

    Having "good" dreams about my abuser and other potentially random nightmares? Anyone else?

    Yeah i do and i've mentioned it but she didn't seem to know much about dreams or she just didn't think it was very important. She's not a trauma specialist thought, on the waiting list for that.

    Ugh i hate it. It's so confusing and invalidating. But at least we're not alone in this.

    Having "good" dreams about my abuser and other potentially random nightmares? Anyone else?

    Sorry i totally forgot to reply to this cuz im dumb lmao. Yeah i actually read some of your diary during the time that this post was getting absolutely no response. And it made me feel a little better knowing that someone else had a similar experience, as bad as that sounds. If you don't mind...

    Having "good" dreams about my abuser and other potentially random nightmares? Anyone else?

    The thing is though, i didn't really have good times with my ex. Especially not sexually. I never enjoyed it. I think the confusion comes from not realizing it was abuse or "assault" until months later. For every sexual encounter i was dissociating, uncomfortable and in pain. Certain bodily...

    Having "good" dreams about my abuser and other potentially random nightmares? Anyone else?

    Yeah maybe my brain is just trying to normalize and rationalize it. It still f*cking sucks when you wake up though. Probably very stress related like you're saying as well.

    How long does it take to feel a trust connection with a therapist?

    Usually the first few sessions are pretty make or break for me. I'd imagine most people take longer to form a connection though.

    Best friend lying about spending time with my abuser.

    Wow that's terrible. I'm sorry you had to endure that but it sounds like it taught you a lot. Always a silver lining i suppose... The thing with my friend is that i feel like he understood. He reacted as if he did. He definetly understood the part about it affecting me in a horribly negative...

    Best friend lying about spending time with my abuser.

    I'm really upset atm. I had this friend who i was really close to, especially before the breakup with my abusive ex. And a while after the breakup i basically told him that if he was still gonna associate with my ex i couldn't be around him anymore for a while, possibly ever. I just couldn't...

    Bipolar How does one distinguish bipolar-related anxiety from PTSD related anxiety?

    I don't have bipolar but i have Social Anxiety Disorder, Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Dysphoria. They're definetly co-morbid and feed off each other like crazy. When i first was diagnosed with Social Anxiety it took me a while to realize that it was cause by BDD which i was then diagnosed with...
