"Life's too short to worry, life's too long to wait, it's too short not to love everybody, and life's too long to hate!" ~Todd Snider~

I don’t even know why I’m posting this. It’s not really a question, simply feeling defeated and need to put it into words. I’ve been...

I read this last part while in a bad headspace and misinterpreted it. My apologies.

Oh yes @Movingforward10 I hear you loud and clear. Why doesn’t anyone help me??? Uhhh nobody knows.

I relate to this so much. I compartmentalize so hard, I too can just shove my mental breakdown into a “box” and force myself to act and...

Totally relate too. I remember one day at work, just swirling around with vivid images and thoughts of trauma in my head, and hosted a...

So on Wednesday I did a psych eval. It got me all discombobulated. I had to sit and drink cold water at the psych office before they let...

Acting out aggression in an appropriate environment is huge :)

I realize that I am more competent in dealing with my symptoms than I thought I was

Journaling and acting out my aggression in a safe environment are my go-tos at the moment. They make it a lot easier to get through the...

Journaling is the oldest. Lots of writing, over time it has gotten less furious. I have done therapy, which has helped. EMDR was major...

I am sorry to hear that. You are not alone. Still working on my anger. There is a lot of it. If you have the time, I would love to hear...

Mine is never discussed, they act like it never happened. I have had my share of anger issues, and have mostly let that go (through...

I'm sorry your family was so violent. I come from violence too, but it isn't discussed. Nor is my PTSD. I understand where you're coming...

Yes, I can relate. Decades of violence and neglect and I am still the black sheep.

I realize that I’m asexual and that that’s okay.

Hi, I remember going to the doctor as a child, only months after the trauma (not all of it) took place, for a diagnosis. I had several...

I realized that I'm a very compassionate person. My abuser would claim up and down what a horrible person I was and have me believe...

In the morning Glasses or contact lenses?

Buy - still like to own a copy.... Go for a walk in the morning or in the evening?

I realise that trust has been difficult for me for a long time.

For a lifetime I have blamed myself for my failures in school....but it wasn't me that failed.....my educators failed me by not...

Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do...

If you can find a trauma specialist? This doesn’t need to be on the cards anytime soon. Trauma-focused therapies more often focus on...

Steadying support while you find your path.

No, I have not. I used to speak with my school counselor about things. I want to get help, but I do not know if I am ready yet. Just...

For a long time I thought that my dissociation stemmed from freeze responses, but now I understand that freeze responses are their own...

@SunnyWeather, no matter what label it is given, if it feels "unreal" or "sureal", but undeniable, "something" is going on, and...

Sounds like depersonalization to me. Not that I'm qualified to make a diagnosis. This can be a part of PTSD.

Hi everyone, I think I might have DID. Just writing that feels unreal, but something happened yesterday and I don't think I can ignore...

Community is a great show, especially if you want something uplifting.

My best tricks to deal with the sudden flood (and prolonged effects) of adrenaline/cortisol/all the things swirling around in my blood...

Hi, I need help coping right now. I had a flashback during the night, which prevented me from sleeping, and now I cannot for the life of...

The way I see being triggered and going back to 'back then' is exactly how you describe it. And it totally overwhelms and consumes...

Wondering where it is all going? Just take that first step!

Step into yourself, clean the dust. It is still there. Breathe.
