    Our Future With AI

    The Bible says nothing at all about AI or technology. The anti Christ is human as well as the witnesses. I am educated in the whole counsel of the Bible. These conspiracy theories are what give the church a bad name. Study Ezekiel, Isaiah and other prophets that confirm Revelation as it should...

    Our Future With AI

    It reminds me when PCs and other technologies were introduced. There were fears, support, superstitions as well. They have been amazing in all aspects of the humanities and science. Yet there is an evil downside. There we must look at responsibility in understanding the platforms. AI is here...

    Limitations of PTSD Labeling

    Thank you great information! Thank you. I think I have defined myself by CPTSD…I have labeled myself as defective and not able to be just me with some disorder…not recognized…..I have a lot of rethinking about this. Let’s just say it is sorting out how to deal with this. Confusion. I don’t...

    Limitations of PTSD Labeling

    I have read and met one person that criticized me for labeling myself as having CPTSD as it is limiting myself to do such a thing. It is boxing me into being my diagnosis rather than an autonomous human who has struggles like the rest of people. Can you help me understand this. I can somewhat...

    Stuck - Do you ever feel like you're no good at the therapy thing?

    I dropped out of therapy twice. I had a similar experience as you but I was given anti depressants and we never got too deeply into things. I could read most of it in books. I know some have great success. Truth be told I found no other way than acceptance of the past written out line by line...

    What Gives You Strength?

    Poem: 1-6-23 I have traveled a worn and weary path,often faint of heart. But he had a plan before all time for me to play a part. Through dark and pain,through toil and strain, I walked a lonely road. I sang a song of mirth and joy, and carried a heavy load. My longing heart wants to see the...

    What Gives You Strength?

    You have been one I put a lot of confidence in. Along the way your input has helped me redirect my actions and look at things from a different perspective. Especially, I learned that this CPTSD is very narcissistic. It was hard to look at that in myself but I am reminded of that when I become...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    I am slowly learning not to define myself by these things as well as the Cptsd. When I do I become embroiled in the past. In order to go forward I don’t deny these things but am seeing they can be a bondage that holds me to what was. I was stuck for awhile.I now am attempting to look forward and...

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    Thank you. It helps that you have experienced this and shared. Not that I would want anyone to be a small child and be that desperate.

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    Ignore this. It is wallowing in self pity. I have lost 3 days of sleep and I am dysregulated. I have lost 22 lbs in one month. That also causes problems. Today is a new day to get back on track.

    Emotional Abuse

    I hear you both. When I was four and similar things happened like forcing me to eat liver as I was gagging and sick to my stomach. They said I must sit there all night till it was gone. Finally,I was put in my room,door shut ,no lights. I would cry and bang my head against the wall and cry some...

    Emotional Regulation Techniques for Dealing with Narcissistic Family Members

    Very good point….bow out. I did not do that I became enmeshed in letting the conversation go to far until I felt Like a stupid, unknowledgeable person. That is on me. Did not draw that line…regretting that.

    Loneliness due to inability to connect with people

    I am in despair. I am intelligent, have a good sense of humor,attractive (all developed for acceptability). I am as authentic as I can be in all areas except my past which I hide. That is not something I want to talk about. I live with this disorder,as I know others know. I have been in many...

    Emotional Regulation Techniques for Dealing with Narcissistic Family Members

    That is what I heard! Good observation. I don’t have the energy to rehash it. It is resolved. They may still have that perception but we are in communication that is positive. We are at polar ends politically and I just asked if we could avoid any discussion in that arena and it is more...

    Emotional Regulation Techniques for Dealing with Narcissistic Family Members

    Things will generally go along fine but this week her and her husband attacked me for holding an opinion about the change in credit scores and mortgages which takes place May 1st. My son in law accused me of not caring about the marginalized. That is so not the case. I just drove a 90 year old...

    Resentment

    Yes. I have no other I am aware of other than why do I have this CPTSD through no fault of my own. I was a little girl ,defenseless and left to the mercy of an evil stepfather. I am clear on forgiveness of stepfather but resent having the consequences of his behavior. It was only emotional abuse...

    Resentment

    I was journaling tonight and all of a sudden I became aware of resentment I have been carrying toward my husband. He is very regimented. I have lived with it for years but now his expectations are I become like him. We are retired. His motto has been work first play later. Our house is clean...

    Surprised by wanting to isolate

    DBT is very helpful for a lot of people.you are so smart to keep boundaries in places you have been hurt. Not walls. It takes work but is a necessary part of life. We are not meant to be violated. I understand many in the professional community get nervous about faith and church. People are...

    Surprised by wanting to isolate

    Hotness. I am not afraid of acting out in a group. I am fearful before and after. I am now careful who and where I put my self in a truly vulnerable situation but have anxiety before attending any group. Often I choose to isolate and believe my fears. That has been self sabotage. What happens...

    Embarrassment and Shame - I Just Want To Isolate From My Friends

    I totally hear you. Shame in my book is not a self esteem issue. It is I am all wrong issue. You are not. That is the truth. Rather than black or white, isolate or stay connected to unhealthy people or sabotage yourself find middle ground. I find when I feel like isolating I set a week to do...
