Fear

Neglect is a trauma. My parents/parent were not alcoholics, however my dad was severely depressed my whole life, and my mum withdrawn. "I love you-go away" pretty much sums up my childhood unless I was in trouble. I was never allowed to leave my room until my parents got up (12pm) and my sister...

I had to reply to this thread. I wasn't sexually abused as a kid, but I was physically and emotionally abused. One of my clearest memories is of my dad physically kicking me out of the door, screaming at me in front of the whole street and pulling me around. Getting up in my face threatening...

After the acupuncture, normally within the week. I was having the acupuncture originally for migraines, and I found out that it also caused the release of hidden memories etc. Some of them I had hidden for years and years. If the acupuncturist knows at the time that you have PTSD, they should...

Just wanted to say, welcome to the community :). | I was also abused through childhood, and I believe many other people on this site were. My parents still won't acknowledge they did anything wrong, and I have even had my grandma lecture me on how I am making things up about my father. I don't...

I have found it does help with PTSD, but I recommend seeing a therapist at the same time. Deep levels of relaxation can bring on intense flashbacks and 'release' hidden memories. I have also found it has all but cured my insomnia, which is insane. I had been having real issues sleeping...

Yer it is very possible. Many of my flashbacks have come along like that. An sense that something is missing but your brain just 'refusing' to touch it, so you never question it. Then one day out of the blue it gives you a full 3d show... at least thats how my brain decides to do it. Sorry its...

I personally really need to work on this. I had to go to an art group for a work event that was really really triggering for me and I really should have just mentioned I wasn't comfortable and asked to do something else. I am sure no one would have minded that much. I don't want to mention...

That is not acceptable. Sorry but you are the mum of one of his children and soon to be of another, and he won't even give you the time of day. I understand isolating from issues, I understand a lot of stuff regarding hiding, and people constantly playing video games (my boyfriend often does...

In my experience, and you may not like this answer. But it is going to mainly just take time. That and some therapy if she is not seeing someone already. You can do little things like talk to her about it, practice going out and she has some friends over, and slowly work it down. I think...

I would most likely fit the BPD profile to a T, however I am uninterested with any label except for C-PTSD because I think that explains everything, without needing anything else. I believe modern phycology at the moment is in what I would call 'second program syndrome'. Typically when you...

- I love this idea! - I love long walks on sunny days. - I love the satisfaction of doing a job well. - I love spring/summer! - I love my boyfriend :3 - I love programming <3 <3 <3 - I love my family, even if they were arseholes in the past :P - I love different opinions and perspectives. - I...

Anger management can be used to cope with totally justifiable anger. Honestly its very rarely that we are angry without ANY justifiable reason, there is normally something, whether past or present. I don't know how your sessions are going, but I found as a kid focusing on why I was getting...

Hey welcome to the community! I hope you find this a good place to talk and process :)

Ahw thanks!!! Sitting on a train at the moment processing the day, thanks for replying. Makes me feel way less alone! --- gentle hugs accepted! --- I shall hopefully get a good night's sleep and be more human feeling in the morning! XD

Mainly the panic, I definitely wouldn't have been the team leader for a group. I would have been quieter and not had to stand in front of a group of people and speak. Tbh although everyone says I do it well, no matter the other people, public speaking leaves me physically shaking and feeling...

I don't have to go that often, just every 3 months. More than I would like I guess. I don't know anyone at the company I work at to trust them with any information so I am kind of on my own :(. Lol I agree with focusing on anything else, I hate holding eye contact with anyone. Thanks for...

I feel so guilty so much of the time for not being mentally able to 'be there' when other people need me. I also figure that if they had to try and deal with me at that moment in time, they may run screaming, so maybe it's best they don't. I honestly don't really know how to cope with it, but...

If it did not defeat the point I would be ordering one right now!!!!! It's so exhausting to pretend to be fine when you are anything but....

I know in some ways I have replaced it with unhealthy things, but I am overall coping better, and having summers to my self again is good. You do stop wanting to do it, it's like a wall in your brain, if you stop it stops becoming an option after a while. But often I cut to avoid dealing with...

Join the proverbial club. It's shit. Excuse my bad humour though lol, I have had a bad day ahaha.

I am sure everyone has these days, but today is one of those days for me. Had a company away day and I had to do so many things outside of my comfort zone. Speaking infront of groups of people, loud crowded places, spending a whole day interacting with people as well as a art and communication...

@whiteraven that is what I mean. I am just reluctant to tell her because it's not something I have ever discussed at all, and I mentioned some quite serious things to my bf, and he basically said that memory is an odd thing and there was no point worrying about it... Which has made me feel the...

I go through this with my boyfriend.. he has depression though, so it can be a bit like a bomb site... I think we have just slowly worked our way around things by making sure we give each other space when one blows up and talking about it afterwards regarding what happened and why. I think...
