Understand AI use at MyPTSD: all AI use is explained in our AI help page. AI use is by choice here. It exists if you want it, but does nothing unless you choose to use it.
It is very important that you talk to someone. These are not issues that should be dealt with alone. It is hurting you a lot; some things we need help with and this is one of them.
It is scary, but worth it. Reach out.
Hmm, I have never experienced this. As it does not seem harmful towards you, I would not be worried. It seems like a momentary coping mechanism when you're in such an anxious state. My guess would be it's due to wanting to disconnect from yourself and be somewhere else? If so, you could look...
You should not feel bad about this altercation at all.
Simply put, your instructor was an impatient and unkind asshole.
Throughout our lives, we will be met with such people. It's best to move on; a hard task for many but it must be done.
Take deep breaths! Everything will be okay and I'm on...
It's summer vacation, meaning I'm back home to live with my mother.
It's so weird; I go from being an open and fun person to reserved and on edge once I'm at home. My pent up emotions usually come out while I'm at college. The self hatred, sadness, and anxiety. When I'm at home I revert into...
I don't know if it's okay to share links on here, but I made a video on youtube about my experience with PTSD. :D
I put it under the accomplishment thread because in a way I do feel proud of talking about this. It's like a weight has been lifted off of my chest.
My goodness. I am so so sorry Liesel that you are going through this. I can imagine how hard it must be since I myself have experienced being kicked out of my home for a while (few days ago actually, I'm 17). Scrambling for safety and something to eat was awful. It says you're in the US, so if...
Scored a 63, I don't have DID though. I dissociate a lot. The one about mixing up dreams with real life hit home. I always get that and it messes me up big time
Welcome, MommaRose! Despite how hard this year has been for you I'm so glad you're still here and being brave enough to get through each day. You've struggled with all of this on your own for years but you're no longer alone. It's great that you have a support system now. Stay brave, friend <3
Yes, to my baby brother in the past she has slapped him hard in the arm and also spanks him. When really angry she yells at him to shut up and to stop crying. At one point she has dragged him on the floor.
I have another brother who is 14 years old, she has also hit him in the past, once using...
My goodness, I am so sorry that happened to you! Your mother sounds dreadful. I hope you were able to get away from her completely and not deal with that anymore. I am glad that you got to lay one on her and let out all that hurt... she deserved it for what she had done to her own child. Disgusting.
Yes of course, I only wish there was more to do. I recognize a similar wounded child within her and I know that's is why she acts so defensive at times. Her emotional pain from all the trauma is taken out on others. It's hard to stay angry at her when I remember this. Fortunately I do have...
I have bad anxiety so it is hard for me to go out but yes I will try my best now to do this! It's hard without a car though I'm sure I'll figure something out. Thank you for your concern it means a lot
thank you for your response, I really appreciate it. My therapist told my mom it would be good for her to get therapy after she threatened to send me to Switzerland with other family and blew up because I relapsed in self harm... she refused though and was offended by it so I don't think she...
ahh thank you for clarifying this with me, I was struggling with thinking I was a bad person for that since I am not usually violent and hate it when I remind myself of her
