Agree 100% on calling police, SUICIDE HOTLINE, etc. These are usually ill-informed people who arrive when it comes to PTSD. They have always escalated my situation and wow. Not good for me. We need some serious help in this country for mental health. I wasnʻt even aware of the stigma...
I havenʻt been on for awhile. I was assaulted by a customer while working and avoid looking at books or this screen. Perm damage to my L eye and itʻs difficult. That was (9/30/22) and the past 13 months have been sheer hell. Abuse at home, abuse at work. More abuse at work because I wouldnʻt...
One of my all time favorites. Iʻve got her vinyls. Thank you for this as Iʻve never come across it. She is still around And still sounds fabulous. 💜☮️💜
I don’t know how to use this site. I’m desperate to talk with someone - but more desperate for someone to be here with me to SHOW ME how to do things. Like understand SSA which just admitted they “strong armed” me into filing early. I’m in an emotionally abusive relationship beyond belief. I...
Hi Sarah. I understand your feelings of inabilities to move forward. I don’t know how to use this site - hardly at all - and i’d like you to know you’re not alone. I am so sorry for your experience in life. If you aren’t angry, it’s amazing, but I think that comes with time. You are exactly half...
I’m sorry for what you’re going through. I want you to know that I can honestly say I know what you’re talking about. I don’t know how to use this site, how to cut and paste- but not know if you’re husband is safe or not? You’re example says it all. Belittling.
His remark. I know it’s one of...
I don’t see any fluff here, but you haven’t seen me write. I completely know your experience as the same thing happened to me - too many times to count. But it was with a dentist, and his advances didn’t seem out of the ordinary because I was trained from a young age. This affair went on for...
Thank you, but I am so far from strong! OMG. I have a call set up with my DV counselor this Friday and maybe she has some ideas. My old friend who moved across country has not to much to do with me anymore. I’m a handful. I wish I knew how to act normal I used to. At least act like I knew...
I notice I’m not so great at delivering good news. The test went fine. I would advise asking your doctor about getting mammogram after your vaccines. If I knew what I know now I would have had it done first, or waited. I fortunately didn’t have to have ultrasound. Money I’m talking money here...
The woman at the social security office told me not to divorce my husband. She was looking at my financial situation which is so bad. There is no money coming in. I was unable to put enough credits together through my working years. I had countless jobs, all of them short-lived. I don’t play...
I don’t call myself a survivor.
I’m still just surviving.
I don’t know how one would be a survivor of ptsd.
I don’t know how to let go of the anger.
I lived exactly how I was taught.
I thought I most people were living like I was.
No, they were going to college, I was running.
I didn’t...
I guess what I mean by gaslighting is trying to make me believe he had all these ideas even to what plants to put in!! Just not true! I let it go. I said a couple things like that he couldn’t really believe that. How could he remember something that never happened? And then I disengaged. He’s...
That takes my breathe away. Terrified. I don’t know how to interact w people anymore. I don’t know what to do for money. I’m 65. It blows my mind I’ve wasted my life away. I just didn’t know.
What I mean by that is her taking me off meds. And with more research had been on one of them since I was 17.. Steady to the day she, this supposed psychologist of some kind, decided they weren’t the meds for PTSD. So I guess she googled it and went with the first site recommendations. In...
I know, you can’t say you’re suicidal It all falls apart at that point. I don’t know why I’m hyper vigilant about him and his behavior towards me. I guess its the flip-out tantrum on Monday afternoon. It’s hard to like someone after being attacked and you know his entire attack is centered...
Good news. All is well w new images. I had to leave the house early b c I was losing it. Panic sets in and it’s like a pit bull It doesn’t let go. Got some herb and wasted time and tried to breathe.
I have no job, not eligible for disability, they are taking 10% out of my monthly SS check for their mistake on overpayment. I just don’t see any silver lining. I have no income to speak of.
I don’t exactly know what that means. But thank you
The hits just keep coming. Went in for breast exam yesterday. They phoned this morning and want me to go to the hospital for biopsy today. I’m out of my mind with fear. I am alone. Damn. I don’t have a husband I can call for support. The first time he’d say, “Well, I told you smoking dope was...
I believe it’s called Gasliighting, the following story.
On a whim last summer I bought a hummingbird feeder. I was by myself, came home set it up and hung it. I bought another one and placed bright colors around, planted flowers that would attract them. I did it. We never discussed it one...
Thank you.
thank you.
What infuriates me is he promised me things but was just lying. I don’t know what to do when he retires. I’m in a little bit of a mess.
I have felt this terrified before, but now there seems nothing will soothe it. I have to get it together and go to a breast exam on my sister’s bday. It’s probably bad luck. I wish I could change my mood. Feelings. I understand people can change, but I think when it’s been engrained for 60...
Thank you so much but I’ve been through it all. For so, so many yrs, I’m tired. I’m alone. I have no friends I can talk with. Truth be told I have no friends left. I never knew how to be close, cherish, really love and be close, and TRUST,
I’m not on any meds to help with mood swings. I’m not...
