If I was in your position I would probably go to a clinic specializing in std's and talk to a doctor about reducing risks of you obtaining it and methods of safe sex or treatments for the other person.

thank you for your reply. congrats on beating your eating disorder, i know how difficult and how much of a struggle it is. It often feels like i would get better a little then get worse after and it would be this vicious cycle for years and years..back in the depths of my ed the word "healthy"...

Hi! Do most people here see therapists specialized to deal with Trauma? I know there is EDMR therapy- but that's more a process of therapeutic methods to deal with trauma right? I work with DBT and I guess CBT talk therapy, but I don't know if my T is specially equipped? Sometimes I feel...

Hi. Thought I would make this introduction thread. I'm in remission for some time now from anorexia, still seeing a T from the recovery program I am in who has started working with me on some trauma elements in my life.. My T believes I have CPTSD... The "C" in the PTSD part quite startled...

Eating disorders are truly awful, and recovery from them is really difficult but so worth it in the end, truly. I really really recommend you to seek help from a therapist specialized in dealing with ED's. Depending on what level of care you need, you can do outpatient programs where you're...

instead of replying to individual comments I'll make a general reply. first, I did have friends with me, and through the night I made multiple attempts towards them that I was feeling unsafe. Either they also got drunk and forgot or just left without a second thought I do not know. I just know...

I also have sensory overload experiences. The only thing that helps is either removing myself from the situation into a quiet space, or if im not able to leave I have to close my eyes. The lights are always painfully bright and the noises are too startling. I'm not much of a "fight" response, I...

Thanks for yall replies ! Yes I definitely do feel good about my decision, unfortunately I do understand that it's so difficult to find a non-toxic work environment, especially in the industry I work sexual harassment is rarely not existent. As far as the financial strain, I just booked a...

38 year old and an 18 year old? I know people are saying that she is the age of consent, but was this a year earlier (or 2 depending on where you live) this would be statutory. It makes me wonder what this man sees in a girl barely past puberty, young enough to be his daughter. If the genders...

Just wondering if anyone can relate. The owners of the establishment I was working had abusive tendencies and were manipulative and loved to have random outbursts of anger. One day, I told my boss I quit and walked out the door. He ran out after me and started to scream at me again. (no...

i sleep with my childhood stuffed animal and I always have to be hugging something for sleep (a big pillow) for comfort. I usually sleep in the fetal position.

Is this for a uni class? Are you seeing a therapist or dr who is aware of your responses to triggering sounds? Maybe it's possible to ask for a Dr. note to be excused from these types of films for your health? Or try to explain it like how a person who is epileptic gets triggered by flashing...

I don't have a solution but I also can relate. I actually have never thought of it along side with my anxiety because I've been doing it since I was kid since I can remember.. I thought I was the only one who did this ! I bite not only my lip but my cheeks as well and they will sometimes develop...

I have in the past definitely slept with people I didn't want to but I did it anyways but it was more consensual on my part. This just didn't feel like that. Maybe it was because I said no so many times prior and he just waited till I was more intoxicated. I know what regret sex is. And maybe...

yes I haven't had any further contact and have already deleted/blocked him fortunately. (I know from experience of past abusive relationships where I was harassed after refusing contact, I'm just glad this wasn't the case.) Unfortunately it makes a little trickier is the fact he studies at the...

agree it is completely unhealthy and un-necessary to compare anything, It is so so difficult for me not to minimize it, but I am trying to work it through with a therapist now already, thank you so much I am glad to be here. I'm considering bringing up trying some anti-anxiety meds because of...

thank you so much for your reply. He claims to have been drunk after I messaged him about it but I never saw him drinking much all night, he didn't appear it or act like it at all, and he drove behind a wheel without crashing or doing anything? Which I know isn't saying much but I was under the...

Hey, I am new here, and I am guessing there's a lot of posts like these, so I will try my best to keep it short as possible... basically my question, is this even bad enough to have counted as sexual assault or am I just making things out of my head that don't exist, honestly? Party scenario...
