The Breakfast Club

I had the same reaction Bilby, I think anyone from the US or Canada would... But it just makes it extra funny for us! Thank you KP, for the education & a really funny story :) It just goes to show what a difference a cultural context can make! I'm sure in England no one would bat an eye...

The only peaceful & pretty picture I have on my phone... It reminds me of you, Alex, because this flower is beautiful & strong, it flourishes in circumstances most flowers can not.

alex.... I have not forgotten you... I have been thinking of you... wondering about you... missing the special person you are... I just found this thread now. I am sorry, I have been/am having a very tough patch... Not in good spirits (can truly relate to your too depressed to care)...

Like I'm worthless, hopeless & invalidated. Not normal & "less than". Like what does it matter if I hurt myself (putting weight on a fractured ankle) Haven't done it but I want to

I haven't been on this site long, this is one of the first things I have read. It was intense, and difficult to read, but I could relate to many of the things in what you have written--the terror especially, and the fear of death, the terror of what is going to happen. It is completely vivid...

This is my first time on here since my first post. I want to say thank you to all of you who have been made me feel welcome... And that it is a safe place to talk here, since it is so hard to talk to anyone about this.

Hello everyone... I am new here. I have been on the PTSD forum for a number of months, but have been away lately because I have been doing a support group for SA survivors, among other things. But it is taking a lot of my energy to deal with it. I guess that is why I joined here, finally...

This really stood out for me because my last session, on Friday, was like that. I had the other dissociation as well but I felt like I was a ghost. I could not feel myself at all, it was like I was not even there. I'm scanning myself, trying to bring myself back (from that, and all the rest of...

It's not... I wasn't sure whether to post this or not yesterday but I think I will since my partner is not a bad person or a creep, I know it is easy to misinterpret someone's actions/personality based on a small piece that is portrayed in a post. And I was not exactly being clear of who was who...

No, my partner and I have been together for 7 years, it is only the last 4 or 5 months we have been talking online, as we were trying to rebuild our relationship. I am absolutely certain that it is him, as I know him very well, his life, and his family, his personality, and so on. He looks...

I was having an online conversation with my partner, and he asked me if he could ask me some questions about my past. I said OK, and he asked me a few things, in particular about my aversion to ball gags. He also asked me about being tied up. This is in regard to my ex, with whom I have a lot...

P.S. To anyone who is reading this and a practicing Christian, I am not saying ALL families, or Christians, are like this. My daughter's best friend comes from one such family, and I think they are a very good example of how to raise your children or practice your faith in your life. What I...

I have some understanding of the religious issues you bring up (thankfully not my own, for once). My partner's abusive/alcoholic family was "saved" when he was 15 and his parents became, and still are to this day, devout Christians (I have lately come to see what the so-called most "devout"...

LittleBear, Well thank goodness for those children and people that are such a conscientious driver and person. That is terrible, and equally so is the fact that there are so many people in the world who lack basic compassion and thought for others. To me, it seems more and more that people...

This is more on the off-shoots of your post, than the main part... But my ex also used the "it's ok, you don't have to be scared, it happened to me too..." bit. I tend to believe of his many lies that that part was true, (certainly I would rather that was the case) even though he did use it to...

Happy Birthday, Anthony :D I hope you have a great day!

I also don't feel anger... Well, I will qualify that. I DO experience anger, but it is always at small, everyday things. I cannot feel anything remotely close to anger about the BIG things. The very idea terrifies the hell out of me. Like you, purple butterfly, my role models were out of...

I agree, sterre.... (HUGS) if you want them. I would probably do the same thing in the same situation. And I'd likely be a wreck, following it. It's pretty hard to deal with a situation like that at the best of times--when you are unprepared, in shock, and going through the beginnings--or in the...

I am very, very lonely right now :( Partner is away visiting his kids (and ex) and my daughter and even my (annoying more often than not) parents are at a party I didn't want to go to, because I am uncomfortable around people I don't know. Plus everyone besides me is sick now, so I have to...

I am feeling depressed. Post-seasonal... whatever I guess. I am still recovering from a long week and not sleeping the night of Christmas eve at all because I had so much to do... I didn't finish till 6 AM and there was no point going to be for 2 hours or less even if I could have slept...

I had that fear with my own mom a few years ago, who had an abnormal result on her mammogram. Thankfully she was OK, but I can still remember how very frightened I was. It is a terrible feeling, and I am so glad for you and your family that your mom is going to be OK :inlove:

It sounds to me like a type of dissociation you are experiencing, as a protective mechanism. My impression from what you said, is that at 10 years old, you had all these memories and experiences that were positive with this person--so they were someone you had a relationship with, and...

This has been how it was for me too... Ups and downs. Feeling good about everything I did for everyone and how I got it all done (even though I haven't slept as a result, but since I am accustomed to wrapping and prepping for a family of 8, doing it all because my mom came down with a bad flu...
