    Childhood My voice sounded wrong

    Thank you so much. That makes sense. I never have had DID brought up by a therapist. and I have never thought I had it. I'm glad I'm not the only one to wonder that though. That's really good to know. It was really scary and I'm so sorry you have gone through this too. I would not wish this on...

    Childhood My voice sounded wrong

    Ok thank you. I really appreciate your comment. I have never experienced anything like that before. I genuinely was wondering if I was me. I appreciate you saying that. I don't know how to explain that question, but the fact that you pointed it out makes me feel like that must not be that...

    Childhood My voice sounded wrong

    Hello I was really triggered in therapy today. I have never had a flashback during therapy before. My therapist actually said she had never seen someone have a flashback in therapy before. I actually felt kinda bad because I freaked out. I don't even remember or know exactly what I did during...

    Sufferer PTSD / sexual assult survivor

    Hello dismalgreen. You are so brave for sharing and for talking about all you have already talked about in therapy. I'm glad you found this form it's a good one. Hopefully because it's anonymous it will be a little easier to talk about stuff. I am just now to the point where I am starting to...

    Own Arousal a trigger?

    I don't necessarily have flashbacks when I feel aroused some times I do. But for me I feel extremely triggered if I orgasm. (Embarrassing to say but it's true) I hate it so much. I'm sorry you go through this. Just thought I would say your not alone.

    Help - I have PTSD and my daughter has also been diagnosed

    I really agree with everything @Ronin posted. A lot of the time when someone we love is hurting are first thought is how do I fix this and how can I get revenge. Both can lead us to doing unhelpful but completely understandable things. Have you thought of asking her what she needs? Because...

    Rapid Fire Flashbacks?

    Some times I have a flashback that seems like this. I have had to pull over my car before because it was almost like all I could see was these images. I talked to my T after and she said it could have been a flash back and then intrusive memories/ thoughts. Like when you still are getting these...

    Figuring out my sexuality.

    I have been so confused about my sexuality for so long. I think I finally figured it out, and I tried to kill myself because I'm not straight. This my sound crazy and to some extent I guess it is, but here is the thing my family is so religious the only "sex talk" I ever had was my dad sitting...

    Self care but how?!?!? What do you do after therapy to not feel so... crummy?

    Hey, in therapy last week my T suggested that I make a self care routine for after therapy. We are doing a trauma narrative and after each of my appointments I feel terrible. I think about self harm a lot ( I have not self harmed in over 3 months) and even have thoughts of suicide. I feel sick...

    Sexual dissociation....???

    This is great advice random guy. If you aren't comfortable with oral sex you don't have to have it there is no rule saying you need to. There is no rule even saying you need to use a certain body part if you are uncomfortable right now with certain things you don't have to do them. Successful...

    General Have you or your sufferer ever felt more disgusted than you should?

    Everyone response to trauma in different ways. I'm just guessing here And I I'm not in anyone elses head but it could be about control. When you go through something traumatic you loose control and if you can find something you can control like how clean you are it can be something to cling...

    Medical Obgyn and fear

    I have been struggling with painful irregular menstration. I have been avoiding going to a doctor for it though. The last obgyn I went to I had a really bad experience I was having my first pap smear and halfway through I ask the doctor stop. She didn't and just pushed on telling me to relax and...

    Im not ok

    That's a really good way of looking at this. Also that I don't need to relive it now. Is a really good point. I will be able to work through it soon hopefully and it will hopefully not have this control on me. I just wast sure how bad suicidal ideation had to be before calling a hotline so I...

    Im not ok

    It feels so good to say that to someone. I'm not ok! my T basically told me that I have gone as far with her as I can and she is sending me to a trauma specific place. And I'm scared of going over my trauma again with a new person, and I have borderline personality disorder so I'm feeling super...

    I'm so sorry you have been through all of this. could you go to the hospital? I know that sounds kinda horrible, and it is a hard thing to do. But That's what hospitals are for they can really help!!! I went to a hospital for about 2 weeks, and it really helped. It can help you to get your...

    Super embarrassing

    @anonymous it wasn't someone in my congregation that did this thankfully :) It's just the things I have done wrong I'm worried to talk about. I agree with you though Jesus would never have condoned of people using their position in a congregation to do such horrible things.

    Super embarrassing

    @nowthisisme thank you for understanding. How did you start the conversation with your T that is a great way to put it!!! I don't know if this will make you feel any better if your not religious now but Ecclesiastes 9:5 says. "For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing...

    Super embarrassing

    Hello, I just started going to therapy about 2 months ago after being in the psych ward for 12 Days. I'm having a really hard time talking about anything in therapy. I feel super guilty already just with what she already knows about me. I am a very religious person, a full time minister, and...
