I ended up doing something similar. I gathered up my dogs who really are the only important things to me at this point, we hopped in the car and drove around. It managed to keep me and them calmer. Now I did have neighbors shooting off the pro fireworks at the time and it was really hard to get...

I’ll have to think on that

I really, really, really want to punish her. Make her feel everything I’m feeling.

I’m not sure what to say to her. All my mind can seem to latch onto is ghosting her and if she finally reaches out screaming at her. Which accomplishes nothing. I’m just so unbelievably angry. Couldn’t fall asleep until almost 3 am last night because my brain is just so on fire right now and...

I don’t know. At this point I don’t want to talk to her about anything. I gave her my work schedule to set an appt over two weeks ago and have heard nothing back. This is the second time this is happened. The last time I bit my pride and reminded her of me. She was all apologetic and fake crap...

Really. I know I’m usually one of the first to ask people if they are in therapy when they post here struggling. But honestly? I’m not feeling it anymore. I mean, I’d rather not pay so much money to be worthless when I can get that for free from others. Like why would I continue to pay and chase...

Just an auditory flashback, I get these. They are fairly normal from what I’ve seen but highly disturbing nonetheless.

As long as there is consent, everyone is adults, and no one is being harmed (permanently or in a non consensual way) it’s fine. If your fantasies include some of the above themes, which is definitely not out of the ordinary, they would be good to chat with a therapist about to see what they may...

Are you in the states? If so, look up your local MHMR. There may be a waiting list but you can get free therapy from them and there is zero reason or obligation to tell your parents.

I’m not sure who told you that isn’t believable but it absolutely is. There are several here with similar experiences. Are you seeing a therapist?

Gotcha, I don’t know then. Because everyone feels and reacts to things differently. For me, I do have that history, it would depend on the day. Some days it would be comforting and other days it would be painful to look at. But that’s not very helpful.

I would honestly just ask her how she feels about it directly. We can all guess, but we aren’t her ??‍♀️

It is what it is. I only mention it because, revenge and being heard, being seen aren’t always what they are cracked up to be.

I don’t mind sharing. Backstory is my mom and stepdad both molested me from when I was about 6/7 until I was in my early teens when our lives shifted quite a bit. I spent a lot of years after really denying her involvement and trying to push all of my blame onto him. But the reality is, she...

When you’ve been on the forum for a bit, you start to recognize psychosis. It’s fairly unique in how it presents. He’s not saying it hurts their story per se, it’s more that accomplishing anything won’t happen until after the psychosis is healed/gained control of. It shifts priorities. That’s...

I didn’t ask if you were, only for you to use some introspection. Revenge seems like it will feel amazing. So does being heard. But it truly doesn’t. I think everyone here has had a point that they wished they could make others feel their pain or feel some snippet of what those people put them...

So as someone with several mental health disorders, including CPTSD (so I do understand the internal drive for justice). That justice? Never truly comes. Telling your truth is very different than what you seem to think. I tell my truth, now, to this forum, to my therapist, to my psychiatrist...

High point: got a looooot done around the house including mowing the front yard which I despise doing in summer. Low point: listening to a phone call at work this morning and the receptionist/nurse at the VA was incredibly rude to the patient and there was nothing I could say or do about it...

So I have a former sister in law that we’ve kinda gotten close, still rocky sometimes. I’m pretty much the only one she talks to or confides in which I’ve tried helping her to meet others so it’s not all on me but she has no interest. I feel she is deeply depressed and should honestly seek...

I couldn’t watch the actual documentary directly. However, I wanted to be informed on it- so I watched it indirectly. Stephanie Harlowe on YouTube has been doing her own episodes right along with it and commenting/helping to keep some of the insane amount of people involved in some sort of sense...

The sound doesn’t bother me so much, though I know it does a lot of others for good reason. But I live in a rural area filled to the brim with dry grass fields, no current burn ban, and a toooon of drunk people who have no idea how not to be reckless. Every year we get fires, and every year I’m...

Y’all are right, I’m not ready. And @joeylittle I’m not bringing it up in a drama way if that’s what you are implying. It’s genuinely been a major struggle this week that I am trying to work through because I did feel it was really hurtful and felt even more hurt at the exchange on the profile...

I don’t know that you have to pick a side for it per say. Sometimes trying to label something makes the situation way more complicated in our brains. But, if I were in that situation- I would at the very least be incredibly uncomfortable and unsure how to act. I would also, as an adult, be...

So I have a permanent schedule at work now which enables me to add volunteering to my life. One area I will certainly volunteer is at the animal shelter. Another one that I have really wanted to get involved in is CASA where I can be an advocate for children in abusive situations. But this...

I suppose you are right. I don’t know, it just feels like a lot. Vanessa’s remains have been found.
