Never wrong - Oh god. My brother CAN'T lose an argument. He NEVER will. Worse, he'll use the worst, most faulty logic just to back up his BS statements. I should also note that he's been yelling at his own child, so that's not a good start. Thankfully, he DOESN'T beat or abuse his GF (which is...

Thank you very much for your insightful post. I've had a number of funny coping mechanisms. One of them, actually, has been listening to music (I've often had a taste for more mournful music for some reason). Music always finds a way to put my situation into some kind of understandable form...

I really should try those de-tox teas. They sound wonderful! Thanks for sharing your experience by the way. Though I didn't experience the exact same, I DO understand the constant pain and abuse at seemingly every corner, and seemingly every person (whether it be your brother, your teachers and...

Yikes, I really don't know exactly what to say. Don't take my word as 100% accurate, since I can't speak for you. Think of it this way: you're not necessarily in the wrong for holding homicidal ideation against school bullies. In fact, violent thoughts are actually perfectly human. Have you...

@J_trustno1 Well, I'm going to have to move out very soon then. I just really, REALLY don't like putting up with his bullshit. I hate being on my computer while he rants in an incredibly loud voice. I should also mention he's had really, really bad meltdowns. I remember he had a full-on rant at...

The person in question was one of the "popular kids". I just really, really, dislike them, and I feel they've put me through a lot of shit. When I see them I feel a VERY strong feeling of unfairness and inferiority, and they're kind of like triggers. The popular kids have always kept me down...

I'm feeling... beautiful. Today I kinda realized how beautiful and physically attractive I really do look, which is kind of rare for me (probably due to awful trauma). I just gotta keep working on what I have. I'm also feeling hopeful. I'm feeling like a real massive change is about to happen...

It may depend on the person, the situation, the circumstances, everything. I'm really not sure what to say. My brother abused me for most of my childhood. He never said sorry (not that I remember any apology that was meaningful), and that makes it even more difficult. "But Hansgrohe, your life...

"Just move on. It's in the past" Or... if you're in high school "Focus on your school work". Even worse, they might say "Is it because of (insert stereotype teen problem here)?".

So, it's been 4 days since I "lashed out" at a certain person, and dumped my entire anger, trauma, and strange sense of vengeance and feeling wrongly terrorized in front of my class. Okay, it wasn't that bad (in fact, I only received a warning), but that's how it felt for me (if I were making...

Again, thanks for the suggestions. Just wish me the best of luck over these next few (and probably turbulent) months.

I'm going to talk to my mother about a therapist as soon as today. If I am properly diagnosed that will likely require a change in IEP, and perhaps there I could conceivably finish off high school online. I remember the last few months were complete hell last year. I'm not gonna go through that...

I had a dream about my specific phobias coming to haunt me. My phobias were everywhere and I remember just being in some kind of SUV and being transported the f*** out of there. For some reason, I reached GTA V's version of Los Angeles (Los Santos) and I began frolicking there, and I remember I...

Quitting from school... I seriously actually want to consider finishing my classes online. I'm wondering if, by any means, that if I get an official diagnosis of PTSD, that it'd be worth talking about how the school itself harbors many memories of PTSD and it continually causes them, and perhaps...

Oh my god. We may come from different generations and grew up in different environments, with different culture sets, but I can relate quite a lot. Similar to you I had a very, very traumatic experience in school, just like you did, and I consider myself school-averse. While things may not be...

Last night I had a nightmare that I remember very vividly. I was in a building that looked a lot like my 9th grade campus, and I think I was trapped in there. I remember being there and my first instinct was to get the hell out of there. I was in this kind of "stealth mode", just trying to get...

All day it seems that I'm frequently taking pauses where I just don't feel anything at all. All I think about are the awful things that happened to me in the past, and all the things that I've done since. I keep getting all these mixed thoughts of regret, reminiscing, terror, etc. But I just...

Thanks for the very encouraging comments. Your story about your son was very compelling, and it's another example about how the wrong circumstances and the wrong people could put someone at high risk. I'm so glad you got your son out of public school. I just wished my parents did the same. The...

Although I didn't go through those kind of circumstances, I nonetheless give my best wishes. Abusive family members are always a special kind of rotten.

I slept like I felt I was experiencing some kind of attack, as if I were in defense or running away.

I was always told to ignore the bullying. So much for that.

Hi. Just an introduction post, and I thought I'd might as well describe my background. I'm a senior in high school and I'm on the verge of graduating, and I can't wait to get out of this cesspit (pardon my English). I don't know how many tears I've had to shed because of school. I am diagnosed...
