The book and movie are exceptional. Kristen Stewart (Bella from Twilight) plays the main character. She is much better in Speak than twilight.

I almost told in high school. The school had asked a police officer to come to the school and talk about telling teachers or police officers when someone is hurting you. After the event I went up to the guidance counselor and asked her hypothetical questions about what to do if a person knew of...

Franciemarnie, I live with my parents so that's when the switching happens. When I am with my friends or just outside of the house I feel like myself. Do any of you who have answered or will answer find it hard to explain to your family what's going on?

I am 25...at least physically and spiritually. There are times, usually when I am at home, that I don't feel like a 25 year old. I feel that emotionally and maybe mentally that I am twelve again. That's when the abuse started. Does anyone else feel like they switch between their real age and age...

...You watch the new tv show Hannibal,you get hungry during the scenes involving Dr. Lector preparing dinner, and it doesn't bother you.

I haven't yet and it's been over a year, but I stopped because the person I was seeing was Christian. I had issues I wanted to talk about, but didn't feel comfortable with the person.

I pick eyelashes and eyebrow hairs. Been doing it since everything I went through started.

Do you mean get over what happened to either of us? Or back to therapy?

Oh absolutely. I haven't been in real therapy for a year. I don't like talking about what I went through or what it has affected in my life.

I have one question for you. Are you in love with him? To me there is a difference in being in love and loving someone.

You're probably not going to like what I have to say, but I can't get it and this thread off my mind. So here goes. If he was your true MATE then he wouldn't make you choose between him and your brother. He would support you if you chose to stay with your brother.

So the articles didn't go over as we'll as I thought they might. The only person who even remotely listened was my brother. My dad sort of read the articles and my mother didn't read them at all.

Oh. Thank you.

Can you possible explain Aspects, Archetypes, Guardians, and Fragments? I too have my darker sides. It also feels like its own entity. I don't ever want it to take over cause I know what it is capable of, but whenever I feel like it is trying to takeover then I immediately start to ground. Or I...

Purposely mismatching my colored or patterned socks.

Thanks Gizmo.

Thanks everyone.

Well, my mom is a teacher and she likes to grade the papers while watching the tv in their bedroom. As far as I remember my dad wasn't defensive, but he didn't really ask questions about PTSD. He asked questions about why I hadn't scheduled with a therapist in the nearly two and a half years I...

I gave my dad the articles. He did the thing where he read a little, then talked to me, then read more, then tried to get me to understand from where they are coming from. All the while my mother was yelling comments from their bedroom. There were even a couple of times where my dad stood in the...

Well, I don't think I am using it as a crutch. I've been diagnosed with PTSD for nearly three years. For two years I was one of the primary caregivers for my grandmother. I was so focused on her that I hardly had any reactions to anything trauma or PTSD related, but since she's died I've been...

Thanks Eleanor, I am actually going to call around for therapists. Oh dear, my parents are saying my PTSD is a crutch and that they really understand. That I am letting PTSD control me. Can I call BS on that? I mean really. Italics=sarcasm.

Neither. They didn't know it went on until I told them two years ago when my memories came back. But my abuser is my uncle's step-son.

I printed out articles to give to my parents, but I haven't yet. I am a little apprehensive. In the beginning they were supportive of me getting counseling, but after they saw that I wasn't "getting over" the trauma as fast as they want then they became less supportive. Now it is like they have...

So update...this morning I saw someone with a counseling background. She helped me deal with last night. After that I did some good things (delivering food to some people) to keep my mind off things. Just got home half an hour ago and my dad immediately started asking me questions. So I went...

I'm doing that right now. Listening to heavy music and reading. It usually works.
