    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    (The medical community debates and adjusts far more rapidly than you’ve suggested. There are constant guidline and policy changes almost at a daily pace as we learn how to deal with certain issues. ) Yes i know. But thats the problem. It's debated in a vacuum. Not on a societal or even a...

    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    Mental illness is another gray area when it comes to consent. There have been some cases where the police didn't know what to do with a person. These people didn't broke the law. So the police couldn't arrest them officially. So they dumped them at the mental hospital. These people were locked...

    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    Thats just it. It's not clear at all. And sometimes simply ignored. With sex we have a better picture what's allowed and what not. And there is a constant debate about it. With medical consent we hardly have that debate. The last time we really had that debate on larger scale was after ww2...

    I don't think i want to go on

    I had feelings like that at one point. And yet... it did get better in time. First things first. Put down the bottle. It doesn't help you. It only makes things worse. If you can do that, consider it your first victory. Baby steps! You're stronger than you think. You can do this. Many of us been...

    Medical Should medical staff stop when you tell them to?

    Consent for medical treatment is often more tricky than for sex. Specially with minors and young adults. And there is also a grey area when it comes to pressure. Even if it's not violently forced. It isn't always consentual. This is often the case with teens who still see a doctor as a authority...

    Relationship Shut out again perhaps? i am going crazy....help!

    spot on. There are many other plausible explanations. A personal experience that's somewhat similar. I'm somewhat similar to the guy you're talking about. I really did have a traumatic childhood. (not just a assumption) I can function just fine for the most part. But i do have trouble letting...

    Relationship Shut out again perhaps? i am going crazy....help!

    Great reply. Assuming this is indeed some mental problem. She has to be careful though to make that assumption. She shouldn't act on a assumption alone.

    Relationship Shut out again perhaps? i am going crazy....help!

    He sounds just like me. Maybe he's MGTOW? (men going their own way) The only way this is going to end is when you let go and move on. He's not going to change. Just let go. It's only going to get harder if you don't. Some men just don't commit to women. Doesnt mean you're a bad woman or that he...

    Sufferer I am new had ptsd about 10 years, manifesting recently way worse need ways to deal with my anger

    I do martial arts. Works great for me. I had a great martial arts teacher that learned me how to control and aim my anger were it belongs. And it gave me a healthy outlet. I can scream, hit and kick without really hurting people. I'm building both body and mind. Dont know if it will work for...

    Supporter What do i need to know about ptsd?

    There are many pitfalls that you have to be aware of. First (somebody already told you) you cant fix him. Second, Dont mother him. He's your partner. You are not his mother. Men who have abusive mothers often look for a replacement mother figure. This wouldn't be a healthy romantic relationship...

    Sufferer Existing -ptsd/cptsd- childhood trauma & munchausen by proxy - monophobia & agoraphobia

    You need to get away from the person with munchausen by proxy as fast as possible. Don't let her know you're leaving if that's possible. People with munchausen by proxy can become very dangerous if their victim is trying to escape. Specially when they are at risk of being exposed. You really...
