    Don't Touch Me.

    I guess I just find it strange, growing up the way I did.

    Don't Touch Me.

    I work at a fabric store and for some reason...every little old lady seems to think its okay to touch the workers. Like grabbing a hand or wrist or patting my shoulder or hand. It's not okay to touch people without their consent.....I know I'm being a little dramatic but c'mon, it's not like...

    Don't Touch Me.

    I completely agree. Sometimes, when I'm already having an off day, someone with a negative energy/aura just being near me can set me on edge. I am just starting to get used to companionship, but I have an extremely hard time still. My mom and her boyfriend weren't affectionate. He was...

    Don't Touch Me.

    I don't understand why this is such a hard concept. I don't understand why people feel the need to touch others that they aren't all that close to. It's an invasion, it's terrifying, and I want it to stop. It was a really stressful day for everyone at work. Huge truck, not enough staff, super...

    Nightmares That Are Really Flashbacks

    Have you tried lucid dreaming? There are videos to help you to meditate yourself into a state of lucid dreaming. As well as just plain trying to change the dream yourself. Control your mind, don't let it control you.

    Sexual Assault My Cowerker Triggered Me So Badly

    I think because it was off the clock and not directed at anyone, it's not considered sexual harassment but I'll double check the employee handbook tomorrow morning. @Fadeaway im sorry you had to go through that as well :(

    Sexual Assault My Cowerker Triggered Me So Badly

    Thank you both. Yeah, the manager spoke with him. It's only his second week so he probably won't even make it past 90 days.

    Sexual Assault My Cowerker Triggered Me So Badly

    Two of my coworkers, T (who's a good friend of mine and knows about some of the trauma I've gone through) and K (who's new to the store and has given me a bad vibe since day one) were having a debate about animal testing in the break room before we all clock in. T thinks that having people on...

    Dissociative Disorders - Can You Relate?

    I'm the same way with the video game problem except I have it with multiple different things. I read a lot. Like A LOT. And then I start hating it and then I want to do some sketches and then I think those are entirely to shitty and then I'm writing poems or I'm wishing I could write again...

    Thank you @KwanYingirl its been five years since I moved here and I still have such a hard time dealing with it. It's hard to separate her from the feelings, ya know?

    Mama

    Trigger warning, I guess. Sorry this is so long but it's kind of a long story kind of deal. I don't remember most of my childhood. A lot of you can relate I'm sure; there are more blank spaces than memories for a little over 14 years of my life. A lot of people, almost everyone I know in...

    Songs You Relate To

    I could make a playlist with songs that speak to me. But here's one I wanted to show everyone. Arsonist's Lullaby by Hozier. When I was a child, I heard voices... Some would sing and some would scream You soon find you have few choices... I learned the voices died with me When I was a...

    Sexual Assault Ptsd Timetable

    I do believe that it is a little unfair. while my own PTSD therapy has been unorthodox, I understand that what they call "outbreak" I call "episode," where I experience panic, flashbacks, the likes. I completely understand and yes, that is unfair.

    @hodge I've tried but I've run into a lot of roadblocks. I'll try again this week, I had to pick up another job to make ends meet. I really need to get back into therapy again, it's gotten really bad :(
