Awe thanks @Kas_Can_Fly , nah you are not being naive, you have me pegged lol Really though, my belief is that as long as someone is a good person, and the things they do come from a good heart and they mean no harm, then I'm cool with them. That's something that was really important to me to...

While I can in a way sympathize with what he's going through, I do believe that he is going about this in...not the right way. If he needed time away, to be alone...he should have been the one to leave. Making you leave and stay with his parents, totally up-heaving your life like that truly is...

Yup, was the same for me too... my therapist / group was for talk therapy once a week (I also had a specific military sexual trauma therapist I saw in the womens center about every 2 weeks), and my psychiatrist was for medication management once a month, oh and then also my GP who I only saw...

I once dated a guy who, and I am likely under-estimating rather than exaggerating, had at least 20 piercings in his face, and uh...many...many more on the rest of his body. I personally freak out at the thought of getting piercings (I even hate it that my ears were pierced as a baby and have...

There was a point in time a couple years ago when I was afraid to drive, and my ex drove with me once and suggested to me that maybe I not drive for awhile because I kept "dipping out" and my driving was freaking him out, he made me pull over on the side of the freeway even. This was all within...

Maybe I'm just being biased here, or it's my warped perception lol! But it really does sound to me like you are not conflicted at all, really just wanting...needing to find someone who fits into what you need in your life right now. And really, whether its just casual sex, a committed...

I'm not sure where you are based, but Im in the states, and my therapist could not prescribe me meds, I had a psychiatrist who I had to meet with once a month to discuss my medication. So I would say, if you already have a therapist, to let them know that you want to try medication, that way...

Heey! Good that you took initiative in talking with the new boss. I'd say it sounds like you are off to a good start, you were able to think on your feet today, even with all your worry over the weekend if you'd still even have a job. I have total confidence in you that you'll be ready come...

Just read back over my response and had to laugh at how I start of with, you're not ready! Avoid the situation! Then end off with, so yeah it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, with my meltdown as a side note. Seriously though, I agree with the above, that this is not the time esp if...

Please don't misunderstand me as saying they are the same thing... Just that for me personally, I have both a massive scar and tattoos...equally visible to myself and others. So I'm just coming from a place of my own personal thoughts when I see the visual representation of what I've been...

It makes me sick to my stomach that someone would do that. A guy I was seeing met my bosses dog, who is an *absolute* sweetheart..and when she came over to him just to check him out, he looked at her with disgust and said "get away from me dog." That was like...4 months ago? And I'm still...

I have two tattoos...one is a reflection of my relationship with my daughter, and the other is a reflection of me..well, a part of me that I know exists, a reminder that that person is still lurking around in here somewhere. I could not get anything to signify my traumas, because for me, it...

Honestly, it doesn't sound like you are ready for it. I avoided my whole family for 4 years because I couldn't handle the thought of having to me around my mother. When she showed up (unexpectedly...I was assured she wouldn't be there, and then there she was) I was amazed with myself how calm...

I was going to say what Anthony did... basically that, if I could get rid of my anxiety, I wouldn't have PTSD anymore any my problems would be solved! I can feel where you are coming from though... I do wish that I would be able to take the little knocks in life easier without feeling like I'm...

Hello and warm welcomes Harry!!!

I don't think you sound bitter at all...! Actually, you are pretty clear on what your needs are right now, and the trick is to find someone who can fulfill that. Many years ago, like 10 years ago I was in that same place. I met a guy who I swear just landed in my lap at the right time. It was...

Yeah, I don't have any back up plans really, because when the moment hits, I'm useless to put any plans into place. but yeah, I just know...it's going to happen, so I try to be prepared for when it does. That means...when I'm feeling good and productive, try to touch bases with people more...

Oh man, just reading what happened made my heart race... I could not in any way shape or form have been able to handle that. Seriously, I'm going to have to say kudos to you for getting out of your apartment to take a breather instead of flip out inside waiting and dreading the inevitable, and...

Isn't it funny (not ha ha funny but...) how, well at least for me, I will react on a dime to completely harmless events / things that are just worries and doubts and fears that I'm letting take over me for no good reason... But then when it comes to actual things that can really affect me, those...

Usually not when I'm working, but then.. I'm doing "busy" work, so when I'm working, my mind is focused on the task at hand and nothing else... Actually, for me work is an escape from being left alone with myself to let my thoughts wander... Though if I had to attend meetings, I'm pretty sure I...

I prefer a female T... Years ago when I had to go to therapy, one of my T's was a male, and right off the bat I was like, no way am I telling this guy anything. I'm sure he was a nice guy, but I did not feel comfortable with him at all, I shut down, and then told him off and stormed out, like...

Oh man, reading through all of this, I feel all y'alls (yes, I got southern lol) pain... It definitely is real, stress can cause so many problems in our bodies. I have the muscle aches, my joints will kill me, I'll feel like I got into a fight the day before or something. The worst really is...

I think the thing is, it's not *all* men or *all* women who are this way or that. But I do agree with @anthony that women are more emotional...not all, just generally, we are more into communication and sharing and developing some sort of bond with the object of our affection, sex or no sex...

Personally, I fell into what I do and I feel really fortunate to have. As a teen I had an interest in programming, something I did for fun, and then later, I became interested in web design... It's a never ending learning process, which I love, because for the most part, I want to *not think...

Oh man...I am so sorry to hear this!!!! I wish I had something to say in the moment, but holding out hope that you'll be okay and won't end up having your job affected. :hug:
