Hi..i too shower and bathe with lights off. I cant handle them on. Makes me feel exposed even if im alone..there is a window so a little light comes in. If its dark out side i will just light a candle...

I have that and im very small like 5 years old and someone is on top of me smothering me, like killing me and i just keep screaming no no no...(but im screaming like whispering) heart is beating out of my chest and i cant move. Every time its the same one..flashback. pete walkers website and...
I do remember lots of childhood but there are gaps like i remember before and after but the middle of a memory is gone and theres sometimes a faint thing i remember..and now those things are emerging. Its just all still hard to wrap my brain around
That sounds good too.
But there is an anger or unfairness that happens along with it too. Thats why i thought jealous. I don't know how to fix it yet, but i know its not right. And i dont want it..
I just recently had a really weird experience where it was like i came out of a fog and everything looked and felt different. Kind of scary and strange. I felt so sad, like wow this is my life?im really here?just so weird and aware.
Now rewind to one day when i was 5 years old. I was sitting at...
I just remember at 5 looking down at my arm while i was eating cereal at the kitchen table. I saw my arm, moved it and either thought or said "im real" its happened before but not quiet like that. My abuse started before 5 and lasted...i couldn't tell you...
Anyone have this happen?
Its important to have someone that understands. A lot of people dont get it. I suffer and feel like i can barely share with even my partner. Im up all night too. Its so hard.
However i wouldnt lose a good friend over it, if it could be helped. This coming from a person with no friends at all...
I suffer fron ptsd and have the hardest time commiting to plans. Even when im feeling well...i get scared by the time the event comes along it might be a horrible day..for that i like to do things spontaneously with the family..as in on the day of that im feeling ok if partner says lets do...
One time, i dont know how or why, we did a goodbye hug (T and myself)..then after that i felt obligated to the hug and it was stressful so i just did it..and if i almost forgot or didnt want to i still did it...im never doing that again. It was awkward

My reply was to the first comment fridayjones..thanks so much for the second one. I find myself comparing a lot and falling short daily. Its something i learned from childhood, mom would say why cant you be like so and so..and so i think i just got into the habbit..i think i also learned by...
Ive heard that before..but only if i can make my outsides look like theirs...at least fake it till i make it..im just not there yet..just feel so different and defective..
I guess i just have lots of work to do...
That feels better..
I don't want to take anything away, and im glad people are happy...
But yeah i guess it all just somehow reminds me of how everything sucks right now
So covet? Great, now im breaking commandments..haha
Its not objects that i covet..its happiness. Being carefreee, confidence...
Scout 86..ok so in some ways i may be a better mom now. But i miss how free i felt, taking my kids everywhere, playing with them, celebrating with them, involved at the school..being a room parent for goodness sakes! I even had my own buisness..as far as fast forward to my new little ones..the...
