    Kittie's Journal

    It sounds like you dodged a bullet with this guy. It's so great to see you holding strong on your boundaries, standards and self respect. It sounds like you're reading things right and being honest and real with yourself over his need for control and the upper hand. I've been in a long term...

    You Know You Have PTSD When...

    You see menacing control freaks who are working to destroy you and civilisation itself, everywhere, and even when they don't know they are doing it, they are inadvertently complicit

    Other Everything filtered through trauma lens, getting past it? Suggestions?

    I think, for me, being autistic/Aspergers IS fraught with traumatic overwhelm and isolation and exclusion and not being able to " get on the same page" with so many folk and ideas, values and paradigms they (the bulk of people I've ever met) espouse, is part of my "trauma lens". The...

    Other Everything filtered through trauma lens, getting past it? Suggestions?

    Yes, this helps. Recognition is already working its magic. I can feel it transforming me and giving me back control 🙂. It's something that I've, recently, become increasingly aware of and how debilitating it is and how avoidant I've become, and how over reactive I've become as a result. Quietly...

    Thank you. Good reminder. I am familar with it. I actually have my first memories of people treating me with kindness and warmth being buddhist folk. My ma and I were staying in a Buddhist community. I think I was 7 but I might have still been 6. What you are saying is very true. As I was...

    Other Everything filtered through trauma lens, getting past it? Suggestions?

    I'm wondering how to "fix" this. Is it possible? Trauma and disability seems to define my entire existance and all my perspectives, my likes, dislikes, preferences, opinions, etc, and I'm wondering if anyone here has found a way to transcend this, or just doesn't experience this and am I...

    What are you having for dinner? (wanna share your recipe?)

    I've always wanted to try making gumbo. Thanks for this.🙂

    What are you good at???

    Dunno. Singing, specially improv and writing songs? Pretty decent at cooking. Trauma recovery, maybe? Analyzing large amounts of diverse data and crunching it down into accessable ways for others to benefit from, I think. I am highly sensorally, energetically, sensitive, so I think I am a bit...

    Sufferer 50 Year Old, Childhood Abuse + Spiritual Abuse + Spousal Abuse (Complex PTSD)

    Welcome! @woodsy1 🙂 Boy have you been through some s***! I'm glad you found this forum, but, not happy for you, for the reasons why. No, I don't take it personally at all, that you had an abusive, unwell wife, I just feel for you. There are narcissistic and abusive women in the world and there...

    Other Thoughts from the Spectrum??? My Mom

    No worries.🙂. One more thing ...when i was participating on the Aspergers/Autism forum, I read and participated in a thread put up by an older Aspie/Autie, who was writing about how those troublesome traits actually get worse with age. Other's quickly added agreement to this sentiment. It is...

    Other Thoughts from the Spectrum??? My Mom

    I feel for you @RussellSue, I really do. My own ma is very "not there" for me, is highly avoidant and declining. My Aspie Dad is declining rapidly. I spoke to my uncle, his younger brother, yesterday, and he filled me in, on just how declining my dad is. My parents both live interstate, Ma is...

    Other Thoughts from the Spectrum??? My Mom

    As someone from a family of spectrumites as well as those with "traits" and being on the spectrum myself, I'm gonna be a bit blunt here, excuse. One of the driving motivations, I suspect, of maintaining connections, is the pleasant release of oxytocin, which is that hormone that drives...

    One Thing That Made You Smile Today?

    Watching "Stop the steal" rally in Washington DC footage. It feels good to see that I'm NO WAY alone, in the way I think, politically and even spiritually. I love the good, freedom-loving, discerning people of America, and the world, but, ESPECIALLY awake Americans, as they are the harbingers...

    Core Beliefs & Counters

    I wonder if this might be what is going on with my mum. I'm not sure if she's on the spectrum, but, is very probably "highly sensitive" and had a very emotionally abused and neglected childhood by her own mum, who shows very obvious traits of Aspergers/Autism 1. She is exceedingly...

    Core Beliefs & Counters

    On the empathy note; I've realised empathizing with the negative people in my life got me in a hellavalota trouble for waaay too many years. I had to "switch off" just to survive. Those that say "autism is a lack of empathy" don't know what they are talking about. Autism is about such...

    What Is On Your Mind Right This Second?

    I have so much faith in God. I love you so much God. Praying hard. It feels good to have faith. Anticipating the good, the true and wholesome victoring. Antipating the liars, the corrupt, the cheats being exposed for the betterment of all the rest of us.

    What Are You Feeling Today? Not Thinking, Rather Feeling! Can You Identify Yours?

    Slightly manic-y. reactive but tranferring it onto politics. I got pulled up by my guy and my oldest daughter for raging about things of a political nature. So, I think, I'm angry?
