To all , this could potentially trigger some-- Yeah, youre not alone for sure. I grew up in a family where everyone made a huge deal about birthdays and I had a really hard time understanding when i really got close to my husband and his family why they treated it like the plague. Come to find...

Hey aut55- that's super interesting. I'm sure many of us understand the weird reactions people have. My mom is like you. She would see people in daily life and it's like they had a flashing color around them or something where she just knew they were in trouble. She never knew what to do with...

Great advice everyone-I too won't be speaking with my family on Christmas Day, it's a healthy choice. You're not alone AC!

OH ArcadeClash, I wish I could give you a hug right now. You are me in college give or take a couple details. I SO feel for you. Good for you for coming on here, talking your piece, seeking advice or just blowing crap out to get it out of you. Family can be so messy. While I would say the best...

You will find your time. Just sink your feet in the sand right now with where you are. I year ago I came on here a complete mess always searching for help. Now with tons of factors, I am on here trying to be one of those people thats either a helping hand or a shoulder to cry on. I want to pay...

No idea what that show is? And long time HI crow feather! It's got to be better than my husband wanting to watch either walking dead or american horror story every night it seems. They are so well made, I appreciate the story line, make up, photography, but holy HELL it's like hey you wanna...

That's GREAT news she is in therapy, that's a big move for many. Just as I said, just be patient that even you being a person giving her reasons to trust and see you as unique, there is a time frame where unfortunately the damage that has been done makes everyone appear like enemies at one time...

Your husky sounds amazing!! Im inseperable with my abused rescue too. We are two peas in pod!! You have a deep appreciation for life, that's amazing. One thing my therapist told me recently was, "Don't be TOO hard on yourself in your process or the process others are going through to get...

Hi loowis- First off-welcome. You're an awesome guy for searching for things rather than just shrugging your shoulders or turning your back. I should probably have my husband answer this question, because I'm the one in your girlfriends position, but I have done two and half years of therapy...

I appreciate this thread, I am nervous and even anxious about spending time with family in two days. I actually searched it out. I agree, it's all about the little things and taking a moment, minute, hour, day at a time. When you have kids I think it can be a fun distraction. (I know there are...

I guess I would ask you to expand on this, Canticle. I totally agree life is sacred. I hear that you are talking about a fight to get "back on the railroad tracks" as one could say. And I DANG sure agree with life being a bumpy ride...:eek: I personally come from more of a nature...

I am a person that deals with complex PTSD from mollestation, rape, assault and domestic abuse so I hear you on what you are saying. I also have tried meds but as long as I can stick to it, daily workouts are a better "medication" than drugs. I've been triggered by this before. (Zumba and other...

So I can post a couple more in The future, but sadly, I finally got the courage to try out for a very " dudes only" band possibly a little too late. I am a girl who talks, drinks, eats, curses and would prefer to hangout like a guy, but gets judged visually as more of a girly chick. I really had...

My biggest goal of the month is to re- pot many of my plants for the year.... Some of them are rediculous. While I make up ANY excuse possible to not do it, when I do, oh my gosh. Seeing plants Blow up and flourish when you do a little "housework", oh the rewards. I guess that's my biggest...

So it sounds like (although I don't wanna be over presumptive) while the mess and chaos serves some kind of purpose at certain times in your life (me too) but the cleansing of these things is even more helpful(same here as well). I don't know you at all, but sounds like you have a VERY...

Nice topic, Fadeaway. I think this will get a lot of conversation: both positive and negative sides as you opened up because it's a very open, cool topic. I grew up with VERY motivated parents, (too motivated) and most of my young life I never realized until I separated from them that they...

THANKS, Casey! yes very helpful. I spent hours watching TV and petting my dogs after the experience, so good call on that. I also found myself on here after calling my mom and husband and them being like EH, scary but it will be okay. They just don't get triggers and what it does to us. I was...

Hey guys- Looking for more support and future help vs. "what should I do now" answers, but feel free to throw out what you want...I needed to rant this out. At 5 pm today, I had the day off, my husband just left last night for a three week business trip and unfortunately all the "fun" stuff...

Okay, first and foremost-snarfus- nice freaking job on the picture. Old school blade runner. NICE. and she was so interesting. Second- While I do not have three- I have two. and hopefully this will answer fadeaway's question and high five snarfus as well- My dad is amazing. But my mom, sigh...

Fricking gorgeous!!!! Oh my gosh.. No one will believe this but the tv "sonic tap justt turned on . This just totally triggered me in s way but hopefully in a good way in the future.

Gorgeous, L.

See, THAT"S what I'm talking about. YES- Jaccat, it can be the little things that keep building, and building, and then all the sudden I'm about to pop. All because I was taught to be nice to people....And in this day and age, I guess that is considered a weakness. So I have finally started...

Yay, Heather NiCE work, that's a biggie.

Beautiful and very helpful mytime!

I fully agree with almost all of these replies. So in attempt to not be repetitive, I will say my worst: oh my. I turn into a female hulk. I throw things, I've thrown a person, broken phones, I've broken a flat screen TV, I could go on. But in my process of therapy, of trying to get a hold of...
