ok I posted yesterday about minimizing. Now I would like to discuss forgiveness. how difficult is it for you to forgive the person(s) who traumatized you? and if you have forgiven them how did you go about doing it? this is something I'm really struggling with. as much as I want to forgive my...

@Ghostybear73 it'd be other family members that say "get over it". one in particular went through it herself and still says it. and someone who I thought was a friend tried to one up me with her sexual abuse story. sexual abuse is sick and glad I never had to endure it as a child. but like I...

ok so how many of you get mad when someone tries to minimize your trauma? I'm pretty we all recognize these phrases. "I've had way worse!" "get over it!" "its in the past!". instead of being supportive some people just like to one up you. they try to make you feel bad about venting about your...

@TonyG I never said it was glamorous? O.o

im not sure. I guess i'll have to ask a therapist

whenever I feel threatened verbally, physically ,or by seeing threatening words, my body automatically reacts. my heart rate quickens and my hands tremble .I remember once I received a threatening text from another female and my body reacted as if she was there in front of me. the most recent...

So before i left home i used to have a recurring nightmare of my teeth falling out????

I'm constantly worried that bad things will happen. I'm 22 years old and scared to drive. dont even have a permit. afraid of sex. still a virgin. I'm constantly nervous in new situations. im clumsy when i try to work and its hard for me to retain information. I've been fired for "not being able...

thanks laurie! i'll definantly look into it! :)

yes but the situation im currently in right now is not healthy either. im living in an emergency shelter :(

so my flashbacks are more emotional rather than physical. i tend to overreact emotionally to situations. so far my triggers are when someone uses a certain tone of voice and when i feel physically threatened. the other day i got into an argument with a friend and she told me to get out of the...
