This is the survival of the fittest anti male bully internet alright. And negative commentary triggers me, as well as causing distress on every level.
Back to my original question would be how can I identify triggers or anything else for that matter if I have to live day and night guarded and...
Isn’t all this triggering crap about dealing with emotional distress?
Jokes on me, right?
Looks like I’ve fallen victim to yet one more triggering psycho babble anti-male website.
FYI: I just received a malicious email that tried to lock my hard drive after subscribing to this message thread.

I may be delayed responding to this message, but the link just showed up in my email and I feel compelled to respond because it applies so directly to me.
There is a safe and socially acceptable human sexuality, or so I'm constantly reminded by society and their media. The individual in...
Leah;
Your thoughts and beliefs are yours and as any human being, you have a right to human respect despite what ever the rest of the world or some paid for hire counselors opinion is of you or them.
More importantly; if this is a licensed and credentialed trained professional, they should...
This discussion showed up as a link in my EMail and despite being over a month old, I can not resist commenting.
Having seen close to 40 of these people in my life, I can relate to the self perpetrating loop the writer finds their self in, since it's always the client who must work harder toward...
............. I just have to say, for a PTSD psych forum, I sure am learning and gaining a lot from this discussion here.
I never guessed any one else could share these thoughts.

Realize my region of locale and accept my apology for political incorrectness. I wrote without thinking.

no........
What would life be if there were no abuse? Would then non-abuse or freedom and safety stop being part of who you are??
I was raped as a child, and because of that I was publicly raped again at 17.
I feel the better question is not where does it stop, but rather at this point how can...

Sometimes hearing news channels I get thrilled and excited thinking the end could come at any time now, and I will finally have my chance before the Judge of judges. Knowing this keeps me going. I can't wait !

The damn social worker I was seeing had this grand epiphany one day, but as for me it has never been a specific or revelation moment. Personally, it's rather an ongoing learning of what the law constitutes as abuse or in my case the statutory rape of a child under the age of 6 vs play. The older...
Suspect meth.
What do the other neighbors think?
If you are vested in your home and community, stand your ground.
Research such laws in your state.

Presently doing good here and problems in our neighborhood seem to finally be addressed because I never quit shouting about them, despite how threateningly terrifying it got or how mentally ill the perps wanted to make me appear. And Thanx for asking...
Therapist are not an absolute answer. Consider other resources you might have available because there are other people like you. You just can't stay quiet.
Besides, think of the $$,$$$.00 you'll save.

......... same here. Wish someone had explained this to me in the beginning so I could have gained understanding of this principle much sooner. And you are quite welcome as well. A lot of good advice posted and I just hope the writer here is able to use it.
#1 " Here's my question: why can't I find a supplement plan with mental health benefits? "
Simply put, the people in this pseudo profession do not feel they need to be accountable with plans of care and regular progress reports required of them for reimbursement. Much like chiropractic care...
At the risk of butting in, I concur with each reply here Love Always.
Are you bound by insurance or sliding scale self pay perhaps? Do you have access to an MD who might prescribe a sedative to help you with the first problem: anxiety?
I wish you could go this route and find a NEW therapist on...
#16: " I've found people work on invisibility. They make their actions invisible. Abusers, bullies, they thrive in this environment Make things transparent and they have nowhere to hide. "
No truer words spoken. Name the opportunistic predators. This is an absolute and they will think twice...
I was handed over to a prostitute by a social worker when I was 17, so I could overcome fear and anxiety around females caused from my mother as well as being molested when I was small.
I believe they also used this to treat homosexuality in the 60's and 70's as well.
Isn't mental health...

I am a male and soon 60 years old. Some of the first memories I have are of being sexually assaulted. I never gave them a thought until a jack ass social worker gave me her professional liberal arts dx of Anger and Personality DO: unspecified. I was 40 and after several months she made the...
OK, reading every ones posts here has my curiosity going.
Sometimes the only way I can overcome anxiety is to connect with my wife.
No big physical thing, just being connected and held.
Is this difference due to gender?
