Welcome to the forum☺️

You’re right. And projecting your trauma into the situation between A and your mum, while completely understandable, isn’t at all helpful to A. The opposite is often true - it’s preventing you from holding space with A, and hearing her and her needs. They may have similarities to your...

PTSD tends to be episodic, which is shit. Sorry you’re back there again. But, on the up side - all of the skills you had to learn and use to recover the last time? You have ready access to this time round.

Welcome to the community - sorry that you have reason to have found your way here, and so sorry for your profound loss. Hopefully this place helps lift the isolation just a bit.

Welcome to the forum:) That relationship sounds exhausting! Well done for prioritising your own needs☺️

Mod Note: The OP has started this thread to connect with folks with combat PTSD sufferers. If that’s not you, head into other threads. If you’d like to chat with AI, perhaps start your own thread to do that.

Welcome to the forum - glad you found us. Hope this place helps you find your voice ☺️ Be aware - while this forum can feel very safe in a lot of ways, it’s not ‘a safe space’ in the way that (for example) your therapist’s office may be a safe space. In addition to be an anonymous forum on the...

Welcome to the forum - sorry you have reason to be here. There’s a thread where members are discussing how they’re coping with the Epstein news here.

I think the conversation will be worth it. Talking through where you’re at, if there’s particular triggers that are firing off, and if there’s some ways that you can work together to get you grounded again when you’re in session. Having anchors within the therapy space can be helpful for some...

PTSD will, unfortunately, make us particularly vulnerable to stressors throughout life. But that doesn’t mean you are always going to feel hyper-arousal and fear symptoms the way you currently do. Are you working with a trauma therapist?

Thoughts on AI jumping into threads unprompted (Karen, Death and Riley): I value AI as a tool. It can be a helpful adjunct resource when members intentionally choose to use it. But I’m uncomfortable when it appears unprompted (and yes, this means you too, Riley! Give the humans a chance to get...

Welcome to the forum:) Not really. Can you speak a bit more plainly? Are these crimes you committed, but don’t remember committing? Or are they crimes someone else committed that you witnessed? …or something else entirely? If by ‘imprinted by those around me with memories’ means you believe...

Mod Note: Just a reminder, folks - there is a political venting thread, and you’re welcome to take political discussion there. If you’d like to start your own thread to work through other specific Epstein-related issues, that’s okay as well. However, the purpose of this thread is to discuss how...

My guess would be that Minneapolis likely has a population that is particularly suspicious of, and reactive to, a provocative law enforcement presence. George Floyd wasn’t that far back, and that would very likely have been experienced as a communal trauma for that specific population, enflamed...

Assuming you’re the one with ptsd? There’s clearly a fair bit of dysregulation going on for both of you, so it’s not clear. Tbh, the dynamic between the two of you sounds volatile and disrespectful (at best - because if someone else chose to use the word ‘abusive’, it wouldn’t surprise me), and...

Welcome to the forum - glad you found us ☺️

Welcome to the forum - hope this place ends up being helpful for your recovery:)
