Thank you for all your replies! Just to clarify, this does not bother me because I live in a small town. I do not. I live in the capital of Denmark, and I do not believe that victim blaming is isolated to small communities. I was just pointing out why I could not escape the links from the past...

This is more than 'just' gossip. It is victim blaming and victim shaming. The headlines have gotten worse and worse with time. This kind of behaviour apologizes rapists.

Dear fellow PTSD sufferes, I am in need of some advice! I find my self in a severe case of victim blaming. I thought it was over. I had cut off all my old 'friends' from my life, but it has not been possible for me to cut out all links to those old friends who took sides with my rapist. (My...

Huge red flag!

Hi William, welcome :-) First of all, I am glad that you decided to reach out. There are a lot of people in this section that can relate to what you are going through, and I am sure someone will have some solid advice for you! I am a sufferer myself, so I thought it might help you to get some...

Hi TLight, From what you discribe here, I do not see it as a lack of compassion on your side. I see it as you setting this guy, who is acting inappropatly, straight! Good for you :-)

Hi, and welcome to the forum! I am sorry for your loss. I watched my father suffer and die, also in February this year. So I know how you feel. The experience is not the source of my PTSD though. I just wanted to say welcome and that I can relate to what you have been through. All my best. C.H.

If you would like to stop smoking I will strongly recommend Allen Carr's book ' Easyway to stop smoking'. I don't know if you have heard of it. He does not use scare- tactics etc. Allen Carr was a heavy smoker himself. The book is absolutly amazing. For me ( and millions of people) it was...

I do not have any wise words for you. I just want to say to you, for what it is worth, I like you! Just to name a few things as to why I like you: I think you are intelligent, streetsmart:-) and very articulate in your posts. I also like your style of not being afraid of 'saying it like you see...

I once fired a T because of her 'bad memory'! She could not even remember what my main trauma was all about!! Either she was not listning, or she did not care. Either way, I took it as a sign of incompetence.

I understand that. But the organasation itself is still based on Christian values. I am not saying that that is either a good or bad thing :-)

By being a Christian organisation, they pr. definition have everything to do with religion.

I to have studied all there is to know about the condition. But that is not what I mean when I ask about your refrences with regards to your post. You have made up your mind about PTSD based on what you have read. That is fine. But I have a bit of trouble with they way you proclaim it. You use...

It is not about agreeing or not :-) But of course it is okay if I disagree with you! I am sorry, I am not trying to be difficult here, but no, it did not answer my questions at all.....

And I think it is great that you want to help people and research PTSD! I am not questioning your intentions or where they come from.

I should maybe not comment on this thread, but there are a few of your claims that I think needs to be adressed: When you make claims about research, I can not help but to put on my academical glasses and ask: what research are you referring to? You had a conversation at the YWCA where you both...

Hi Blue Waters, welcome to the forum :-)

Welcome! :-)

The link did not post, I think I may not be allowed to post links or something :-) But if you like, you can go to youtube and search for ' female narcissist'. It is the first one who comes up!

I am taking the liberty to post a little video about narcissistic traits. You might find it helpful :-)

I could not have said it better myself! With this in mind I will still, however, comment on some red flags I observe in your description of this friendship: I am very alert and sensitive to narcissistic behavior patterns. I heard this saying: It takes one, who knew one, to know one! But of...

Hi! Welcome to the forum :-) Meditation certainly work for me. I could not go without it :). I wish you the best in your path of healing.

I am really, really happy for you Gizmo!!! :-)

Hi, I do not have an answer for you really, but I do know situations like these so well, i.e that you are doubting wether something that others might consider 'a step down' is in fact just what you need, or if it, as you suggest, is self sabotage. It does strike me as important that you say...

Welcome :-) well done introduction!
