I have been trying to do meditation for 10min a day for two weeks now and my once managed symptoms seem to be compliantly out of control! I'm having nightmares, night terrors, flash backs, and panic attacks. I am depressed and have suicidal ideations. It seems like as soon as I quiet my mind the...
My partner made dinner for all 8 of us! My best friend helped motivate me to write my paper and edited it for me! and her husband kept all 4 (my three and their one) kids out of my hair and entertained!! I got the paper turned in with three hours to spare! Time to relax!! Thank you all for your...
@Santa_Laurie that's impressive, I love to watch ballet but have never taken a lesson or anything like that. I've always admired the men and women who do it since it take such a toll on the body. I find it amazing what we can get our bodies to do!
I wish you nothing but healing, I understand holidays being triggers (mine is Christmas) and I'm sorry you were triggered by the last thread. ((Hugs)) if you'll accept them.
@Lucycat I would agree with the simple definition of CPTSD as being BPD +PTSD I also have CPTSD and find the most successful therapy and treatment is to cover both the PTSD issues as well as the symptoms that fall more in line with Borderline. It is compliantly manageable as long as you stay on...
@Santa_Laurie it is American slang for oral sex, referring to that done on a male rather then 'eating out' which is done on a female. (male and female referring to sexual organs not gender identification).
@richter scale hahaha just like Valentines day isn't the only day my partner gives me flower or candy, Steak and Blow Job Day isn't the only day he gets such things ;) It's just a day set aside (like Valentines day is for women) to show the man you love how much you appreciate him :p
@Radise seriously this thread has been vary entertaining. This will be my partnar and I's first Valentines day together. He is giving me something (flowers, candy, a card, some combination of those) because he wants to and I am giving him one of my traditional anti-valentines day cupcakes (I...
I just need to melt down for a second:
I'm a single mom of three kids (8,6, and 3) who has soul custody and gets NO child support money
I am a home owner (a blessing to have somewhere to live but owning a home has it's own set of stresses)
I'm going to school full time online
I volunteer once a...
Yes! That's exactly the downward spiral my thoughts go into, I can't focus but I HAVE to get it done! So I panic and then it only gets worse... there isn't a whole lot I can get rid of in life but I can text my partner and ask him to cook dinner tonight, then when my friends get hear my best...
The issue with school is that it is VARY important that I pass, I can only take the class twice, I need to pass the class because it's a pre-requisite for my major, and I'm using my GI Bill which requires that I'm in school full time and if I take a semester off I'll loose the $1000 monthly...
I'm posting this in here because I have no clue where else to post it. Over the past two weeks I've been having increased panic attacks, vivid nightmares, night terrors where I wake up in cold sweats, several flashbacks a day, depression, suicidal ideation (first thought that pops into my head...
I have said all of what he said to you to my partner. When I'm in a bad head space I feel like I'm a black hole sucking all the joy and goodness out of the ones I love and they will end up resenting me for it, I want to protect them from that so I push them away. I don't want them to go, I want...
@sun seeker @Justmehere actually answered that about 10 comments up! Yes in the United States you can still work while on disability and they encourage it!
Can I just jump in and make this about me for a minute? I have been reading through all of these post and I have to say WOW! I feel so motivated and inspired right now!! I feel like I can take on the world! This community is so awesome and I appreciate every single one of you. No one would say...
unfortunately I haven't figured that out yet... I either give in and beige eat or I eat the snack and then force myself not to eat anymore and try my best to go to sleep without eating anything else.
Wait, I have started Journaling this week, just putting my feelings on paper seems to get them...
I did the online dating thing and had similar experience to you, a lot of 'hey baby' messages that I rolled my eyes at and such, I went on a few first dates with some decent guys and I even made two guy friends (we decided after a couple of dates that we made better friends). Then I gave up and...
I'd suggest drinking a cup of caffeine free tea (no sugar and only a little milk if you take it) and eating one low sugar cookie (like a shortbread or peanut butter cookie) or a handful of baby carrots. Personally I like to just eat a spoonful of peanut butter straight off the spoon. Like...
I don't know if he'll want to see you Sunday or not, but I do know that the chances are higher that he will then that he won't. You two left on a good note and the 8 days was set so no matter how good he's doing he most likely wouldn't contact you earlier, he's only doing what you asked...
