Fibroids are common in my family. Most of my aunts in their late 40's have had to have surgery to remove some at some stage, however I am told a lot of women can have them without complications Heavy periods, excessive bloating and strong back pain are symptoms that usually indicate it is...

Yeah, I tend to have the same initial 'wtf' reaction to anyone who posts complaining that this site isn't meeting their 'needs' However unlike you, I usually dont think so much about the attention seeking aspect (sometimes, yeah) of it, more the lack of personal accountability. Like, you...

I went to post this on your other thread but was told I couldn't by a meanie automated message, I guess you imported it to this thread based on the message above? Mr PTSD God, you confuse and unsettle my paranoia daily haha. Aww @Mr Laurie, its not fair to state that you are entirely to...

Hello and welcome! This (mostly) merry bunch of misfits will be exactly what you need, I have no doubt. Supporters support is on tap around here, everyone will love a rock solid supporter like you. Which brings me to the point of my post here, WOW, you are an incredible and strong human...

Comfort!

1. Why do the most profound lessons in life have to hurt so damned bad? 2. Will I ever figure out how to cut me some slack without it hurting others? 3. I am so lucky to have my beautiful and loving children. 4. The day my past stops haunting my now will likely be my last day on earth. 5...

Just thought I'd stick this here for its clear therapeutic value :)

You were going so well sonic! Women who hate God? Thats a strong word for someone that they clearly don't believe in. There are many women like myself who are not religious, but have no strong feeling about religion either way. Could you compromise to that? She's out there sonic, patience...

This! If intent is clear no mistakes can be made. There's a job for you, to make it clear for us minions, a NO OT button haha.

I think this is your minds way of processing your regret. Debating rape or who is at fault is probably not going to help you at all, as everyone here will have their own definition and that may make you feel less validated long term. Some here will say it was rape the minute you said stop and...

I think generally most get into the industry BECAUSE they care. A high level of empathy would be pretty much mandatory. It used to choke me up when I would see my psychiatrists eyes go red and well up while i was discussing my trauma. It was so comforting, especially given he was a man and i...

Have you had the relevant medical testing to ensure there is no physical cause? Only asking because a family member of mine had exactly the same problem, with no history of abuse until age 21 when they finally discovered that his bladder was unnaturally small so unable to hold an entire nights...

The (negative) view that people have about self harming is one that ticks me off. The idea that it is attention seeking behaviour is my biggest peeve. Of course it is at least in part attention seeking (though definitely not entirely, as its also very much a self expression or vent) but wtf...

I wouldn't label it Stockholm syndrome, but in the case of CSA at least, the perpetrator will always inevitably employ grooming techniques designed to produce identical effects. My abuser devoted years to convincing me that he was in fact not abusing me, more that we had a 'special bond' that...

Huge hugs beautiful lady. You have truck loads of support here, we are all feeling for you. Xxx

Its not stupid at all. And far from unhealthy, imagination can be a much welcome relief from the daily brain drain we live 100% of the time. Some of us use alcohol to escape, others go for drugs. You tell me what's more healthy? When I was young I had the typical daydream. A handsome...

I wonder could it be as simple as choosing a food with little consequences? Sunflower seeds or popcorn come to mind. So you're nibbling but not suffering the calories. Seems almost too simple that you wouldn't have already tried this though, so apologies if that's the case. When I quit...

Super depressing, this place is usually so well glued together. And the two people involved are both lovely and valuable members who's posts I always like to read. We all melt down occasionally, and here is such a safe place to do so as everyone understands. I hope both girls are back after...

Today I'm grateful to just be alive. Its a beautiful world if we just remember to open our eyes and look around.

When I was with the kids Dad, I had to decide EVERYTHING. He took absolutely no responsibility for a single thing even in his own life, leaving me to manage everything, from where we lived to how the kids would be raised. This guys now 40 and has never once had a drivers licence for example...

At my work we just stroke the boss ladies ego and it appears?

I just want to add to all the feel good vibes, that I reckon @joeylittle, @anthony was once again spot on the money when you were picked up as admin. You have a way of acknowledging and validating everyone's feelings about a matter and still have no qualms about telling people where they need...

No way. I've learned much from your wisdom, and appreciate every single post that you direct at me. Experience is the greatest teacher, and if just one person can avoid your mistakes because of your sharing, then its well worth it. I know there are times it is needed to keep a post on...

I can only imagine how difficult it would be for someone who has no tangible memory of abuse. My memory of my very early abuse is non existent and purely based on family accounts, however I at least can say with surety that it all happened based on events I CAN recall. To not be sure at all...

This particular issue is about the other person, not you. You are choosing to take it personally, and that is fair. I understand your way of talking, and so I think does this other person, I just think there are times when their personal feelings mean they are unable to over look your little...
