When I was a kid I would do things with other boys my age that I didn't understand. Like touching each others bodies and what not. Stick with me here. When I was sexually and physically abused by a male relative of mine I was certain that I was straight. (Still know nothing about homosexuality...

Thank you so much! I wish someone told me that when I was a kid. That would've helped so much.

It is extremely hard. I am an ambivert so I need the closeness of friends and that kind of intimacy but at the same time I want nothing to do with them. I want my own space. I feel like I am constantly being pulled in different directions and it distracts me from my true feelings of what I want...

A trauma diary? Doesn't sound like a bad idea. I'll have to look into that.

They do make non-habit forming sleep pills but I am in the same boat as you. wanting to avoid them at all cost unless necessary.

Random bursts of anger like this is unfortunately a part of our struggles. There is no definitive reasoning as to why you are having this because everyone's symptoms and problems are different but what I can say is that you have every right to feel the way you do. Especially with your husband...

Very true. Those that do care and are concerned ask a thousand questions and that makes me feel worse because I hate having to explaining myself.

I just feel like I have to keep a fake smile on around others. I have had this feeling for years and years now and find that it is easier to lie than to tell the truth and expose the worst inside. The only person I am ever my true self is with my wife. I feel like if I am not happy on the...

I too have been having trouble sleeping when my wife is at work during the night. I find that sleeping with the things she sleeps with helps bring me comfort.

I will keep you in my prayers.

Thank you. Today they held his service and I was unable to make it. There is a saddening that I cannot shake but I am trying to look happy on the outside so the kids I work with are not brought down by me.

Thank you.

Thank you. It means a lot to me that I can just talk about whatever is going on inside and not be judged or looked at like I'm some weirdo or a crazy person who is seeking attention. It's nice to have a space that the people understand exactly what I'm going through and can help me. Thank you so...

I definitely didn't have a safe secure childhood. I'm surprised I'm still alive. Talking about it does help me. It helps me analyze and really filter through the emotions and make myself grounded again. If I keep it all in I feel like my head is overwhelmed and I disassociate from the real world.

When I was a young kid, I went through domestic and sexual abuse via a relative. My body did what it knew how and it blocked all the bad and put up barriers and barriers of mental walls. I continued to live with the abuser as I had no choice. No choice as in I was 10 years hold and wasn't going...

This last Monday the 14th, my uncle died suddenly from a heart problem in the middle of the night. His funeral is tomorrow. I won't be able to make it as it is being held 8 hours from me and I have to be at work. I am a facility manager at a group home and I really can't just take time so...
