    Can you feel empathy?

    I have less empathy depending on circumstances and if Im more symptomatic I can't engage or access my empathy as well. I think the situations out more than just broadly empathizing. If I lied about it, it would make me look like a more compassionate person. Im just being honest and dont mean...

    Can you feel empathy?

    I get annoyed when my bf wants sympathy from me. Only when I'm really struggling with my own things. Sounds selfish, but I just can't deal with other peoples problems when I'm drowning in my own negative emotions and pain about my abuses. If I'm in a better mental and emotional state i respond...

    Confused by boss apologizing

    Funny update... Tomorrow is my last day. Today my boss treated everyone to DQ Blizzards... except for me. Pfft haha. Glad I can laugh about it because I'm leaving tomorrow. And I planned on bringing in everyones favorite bagels as a friendly gesture before leaving. Not anymore. Peacing out...

    Confused by boss apologizing

    So I get confused by people's responses sometimes and I need help with this one, please.. I've had some things happen at my current job that have understandably made me feel attacked. I didn't recognize it as attack or abusive behavior until my T pointed it out that it was. I was written up...

    Death Friend/willing abuser died

    You're entitled to your feelings. But I caution you with regards to guilt... just be mindful of yourself and take care. I'm sorry you're feeling these ways and I wish you healing. Do you have a therapist to help you sort this all out?

    General Ptsd and gaslighting

    I read your other post too and Im sorry to say, I think he's cheating. Emotionally at the very least. I don't go around telling married men I love them and Idk what woman does that who doesn't have an agenda. Too fishy. Somethings up with a person who goes off somewhere for periods of time...

    Narcissistic personality disorder and ptsd

    I've been accused of being a narcissist but I only have cPTSD. I know sometimes when we are symptomatic we can appear narcissistic... but there's a huge difference between being one and having occasional tendencies toward narcissism. You'd know a full blown narc if you met one... Ugh. Horrible...

    Avoiding friendships and reality

    It's like you wrote this post right out of my life... It's a struggle and trust is a big part of it. I've found that focusing on my intent and my desired outcome with this kinda stuff helps me get out of my thoughts and emotions about it. E.g., I had the opportunity to meet up with a girl I...

    Worst Therapist Story

    I had one who nodded off sitting up and would fall asleep during sessions. Almost every session. Pretty sure he was abusing prescription drugs. Funny now that I look back, but only because it was couples therapy and not trauma therapy. Oh I also had a therapist who texted and took phone calls...

    Already annoyed... questions/rant

    To make a long story short, I am moving my mother from another state to live with me because her home is being foreclosed upon and my sibling who is in town with her refuses to help her whatsoever. She's almost 70 years old, she is "physically disabled" and does not have a car. She is very...
