    Something New

    It's bonfire night tonight, celebrating the prevention of a catholic-protestant bombing of parliament hundreds of years ago. The last time I went was with my abusive ex, and It's been 364 days since we . I had to build up courage to go, but I'm glad I did now. When I got in there, there was so...

    Proud Abusive Ex

    I came home today and spoke to my girlfriend. She said that today at her school, my abusive ex girlfriend said she was proud of ruining my life and that I'm not worth anything. It makes me so depressed that my girlfriend deals with that bs daily. It affects me too though and the other night I...

    Bad News Making Me Depressed

    I feel like life is just pointless. We're all gonna die, what difference does it make for us what we accomplished in life? I just got the news that one of my closest friends has terminal lung cancer and has maybe one to three months to live. This is probably the worst thing that's happened to...

    Does Anyone Have Nightmare Thoughts? Aka Am I Crazy In The Coconut?

    Constant fear of being attacked by my ex with a knife again. Left that part out of everything I've said on here before but it happened >.< I'm in France right now but even still I get triggered and think 'What if one of these people knows my ex? She hates me, she could get them to hurt me for her'

    I Feel Like A Horrible Person

    I should've been more specific.... she lives down the road from my abusive exes new boyfriend, the one she cheated on me with and dumped me for. She wants to move house and school but she can't. What happened to me didn't involved much kissing, it rarely triggers me and we're both 14 so haven't...

    I Feel Like A Horrible Person

And I'll be triggered out of nowhere, it upsets her and it upsets me, I really love this girl but I feel...

    Sexual Assault Rape Stereotypes

    People keep asking that so I'm gonna start leaving a message at the end. Yes, I have a psychologist, no my parents aren't very helpful and yes the police know. :/

    Sexual Assault Rape Stereotypes

    I'd like to point out, I'm not a man, I'm a boy, and a girl who is a year older than me easily held me down.

    Sexual Assault Rape Stereotypes

    Sexual Assault Rape Stereotypes

    First of all I would like to say that I, in no way, intend to offend any reader by posting this thread. I feel it's unfair that female > male rape is less known and stereotypically people know rape as a guy raping a girl. Sometimes it's the guy who is the victim. I don't understand why this...

    Can Anyone Relate? Do You Do This?

    I trigger myself a lot, often I lie in my bed in the exact same position as I was raped in and just sort of lie there having flashbacks and crying. I don't know why I do it but I do.

    Sufferer Nothing But Blank Nightmares

    I didn't want it, I didn't have a choice, I couldn't speak out, I couldn't unsee things she made me see. By the way, it wasn't a basic rape, I was tied down and forced to watch things, and she did things. I'm saying no more, goodnight.

    Sufferer Nothing But Blank Nightmares

    I can pick a lock with a Bobby pin, hold my breath for 24 seconds, my best shot was a 5mm wide target from 50m with an air rifle and I have favourite guns and calibres...I'm strange

    Sufferer Nothing But Blank Nightmares

    Since I was about 6 it became my dream to join the army and fight for England, but now I'm quite older I've narrowed it down to wanting to become a scout/sniper and fighting for my girlfriend's safety rather than just my country. She wouldn't do that to me and we have pretty much maximum trust...

    Sufferer Nothing But Blank Nightmares

    Hi, I'm Sam, short for Samuli. I'm 14, from the UK, specifically England. I have a mix of mental illnesses, including PTSD, OCD and Autism. I have this compulsion to feel as if whatever I say, I'll get in trouble. My Autism means I have no clue how people will react to what I say and whenever I...

    What Can I Do?

    I'd get away as far as possible I guess. My abusive exes are currently in another country and I'm doing my best to enjoy holiday without too many triggers. I know what it's like though, being unable to move every time you see them. I had to get on the same bus as my abusive ex for 2 months...

    What Can I Do?

    I get triggered by any girl wearing similar glasses to my abusive ex, it's not fun

    Nightmares

    I'm toying with a thought on my mind and would like to know if it's just me or if it's a shared experience. I've been having nightmares since the start, but it started off at the school I spent all day being abused at, and on the bus which my ex abused me and I self harmed on. Since then...

    Sudden Triggers And Stressors

    You have every right to choose whether or not you want to be with someone or not. Though they do have a point, as most trauma victims are very defensive, they probably don't understand the level of mental scarring that PTSD requires. I'm not sure how to deal with the panic attacks, as I often...

    Sexual Assault Dreamed Of The Man Who Assaulted Me. Sometimes Think I Miss Him. Wtf O.o

    I know this is probably nothing like what I had with my abusive ex, but I did actually try getting back in contact with her after all that happened and she just blocked me out, saying things like I was the worst person she ever met, that she didn't ever like me, Etc. I keep getting nightmares...
