Wow, its really strange to me that so many of you also experienced reading less to none after your trauma.I have the same experience, and now Im sick from work Im trying to get back into reading. Daytime reading is 12 rules for life by jordan peterson. Nighttime reading is Harry Potter and the...

@shimmerz I dont know if she's been reading,, I don't think so because she's convinced I have a burnout. I've been thinking about sending her some articles to read so I dont have to tell her my personal experiences. But I believe that might not be enough. She tries to be supportive, but not...

I kept thinking to myself that what I experienced wasn't that bad. Other people had it worse. I've been reading all the articles about compliant victims and sexual sadism. That's what happened to me when I was just seventeen years old. Its bad. It's really bad.

Thank you for this article. I was in a 'relationship' with a sexual sadist when I was only seventeen. It didn't take long to break me as I was already very vulnerable and waiting to be admitted to hospital. It lasted four months. When I was admitted I was out of reach and no longer of any...

So, I'm a woman, married, 25 years old. I've had pscyhiatric problems my entire life, including moodswings, depression, anxiety, self harm, eating disorder, and to add to the bunch: PTSD from recurring sexual abuse as a teen. Now, I've been on and off therapy from 6 till 20, and been off therapy...

Most certainly. Tony stark also has a very clear case of PTSD from the alien invasion and his near death experience. Jessica Jonges has PTSD and addiction issues. Frank Castle has PTSD big time as well. I think the Marvel TV Series do a better job, as there's more time for character development.

Sundae! Movies or Tv series?

Im dutch so we have Sinterklaas and Santa. For me it has nothing to do with Christianity, its a cultural and commercial thing now. I would just celebrate, but not scare them with false stories so they would behave. I think thats what good parenting is for!

I don't have children, I do want to have children. If I didn't have this relapse, we would probably be 'trying' by now. Right now, I don't know if I should have children. I don't take care of myself, I'm a mess. I do take excellent care of my cats. But I'm afraid to have relapses when I have...

Tnanks for the replies. He knows I have PYlTSD and listens to me when I need to talk. He's usually very supportive and he's the only one that can pull me out of a flashback. Actually, I'm really lucky to have him We just both have a thing with parties... for me a group of people makes me...

So my anxiety gets way worse when Im around people I dont consider family/good friends. Tonight my sister in law had a birthday/gender reveal party. She's very understanding of my situation and told me not to feel obligated to anything. I went to the party with about 15 people I don't know well...

30 Days of Yoga: 30 Days of Yoga - YouTube Thats the one! @somerandomguy Ontopic: when I was about 8 years old I actually sang in a church choir. When they were handing out the breadthingied I never got one because I wasn't baptised. Ahhhhh, how inclusive and nice...

I feel a bit more myself today

Everytime Im not well I feel the need to change it up. So Ive had it really short in all kinds of colors for a long time. When I felt better, I grew it out and kept it blonde with some highlights. It was REALLY long, and two months ago I suddenly made the decision to cut it in a long bob and to...

@IamFree luckily yoga doesnt have to involve guru's There s this Youtube playlist 30 days of yoga which im doing for exercise because exercizing in my home is currently my only option. I actually like it, the physical strain en the mindfullness part. I just get really annoyed with some frases...

Ive been on a 'rational binge' for five years where everything I did or said was rational, to my own believes. Now I know I was being obsessivly controlling, planning and punctual. I didnt make room for feelings, if something happened I told myself that I should just find a solution, and if...

@bellbird I'll be sure to watch that later today! Ive been meaning to clean up or even just CLEAN the bathroom. But every damn bathroom is a trigger to me. Dont worry I keep myself clean well enough but I only shower when my husband is home, so he can keep an eye on me. Ill just take the cats in...

I think not everyone defines as christian or atheist, completely black and white. The thing is, atheism is completely black and white. I dont believe in gods, angels, spirit or a beyond. Or anything religious or spiritual, really. I think our human brains are always looking for an explanation...

Yeah, this is where people lose me when trying to convince me. If I ask them why so much bad stuff is happening, thats the devil. Bad stuff happens to good christians to, so apparently when you obey God you're still vulnerable to devil stuff. Almighty God is not so almighty after all then...

@Living in the 70s you get a virtual hug from me. I get the neck/shoulder pain. Its sucks... the only thinh thats helped me with that wad a massage but that helped only for a couple of hours.

@joeylittle thanks for the reply. It was already late in the evening so I forced myself to stay downstairs with my husband till the sleeping pill kicked in and I practically went in a coma So I didnt do it! Good night so I feel better now.

Angry. Under that, Hurt

Well now I'm the one who's struggling. I feel alone and abandoned by everyone. My mother was here yesterday and basically told me it was my mindset and to just get over it. My doctor didnt even react to what i was saying today, that im so afraid of relapsing into self harm and ed. That a really...

I'm an atheist, religion is pretty much absent were I live. Some people go to church on Sundays, but that's more out of habit and about a piece of culture than because of their beliefs. One friend/Coworker of mine is Christian. We were talking about my issues, and about her husband who is in...
