Your husband treats you the way my grandparents treated me which gave me PTSD. I'm deeply sorry and afraid for you and wonder why you put up with complete horrible trash. Leave him, even just 24hrs of no contact and see how he feels about you 'nagging', even though you are NOT.

My own husband was a violent person and still can be with idiots. When a guy smacked his wife in town, my husband knocked him out for it. The guy that tried to rob him? Well he got knocked out too. That being said the worst he will do to me is hold me down, no matter how much I've been attacking...

It's sounds like for some reason he wants to be violent or he's honestly just waiting for you to let him snap. It's still his fault if he gets violent with you. Defending from an attacker is one thing, so if you get physical then of course he will likely be violent in response. From my...

@MoonOwl , Thank you for that. Interested in sharing some pics? I'm going to start though I don't have much to show yet. I'm also struggling with just the 'what' do I draw or make, what colors do I use, etc... I guess every thought being 2nd guessing everything is a problem.

@MariaY , Thank you for being honest and also for putting the effort back into art. I'm researching art therapy outside my schooling and am only finding techniques that I can't use in any positive way.. like scribble expressing emotions that bother you. I'm weird about waste, honestly down to...

In terms of sexual abuse without contact, that is still sexual abuse. My grandpa abused me physically then moved onto masturbation and porn watching in front of me; still sexual abuse. Sorry for your experience and it's repercussions.

Get it out/off your chest. And breathe some too dear :)

Because of the emotions involved, the closeness of the person doing that to you, and simply it was unwanted and not comforting I would say it's abuse. If you had a deathly fear of snakes and your family would throw snakes at you and put them in your room I would feel the same way about it being...

Thank you both so much @Friday and @Lola Nocheprieta. Friday, I do switch it up especially when I have a little extra $. I was not ready for pen drawings yet early this year but it was all I had to work with. I used some online color stuff.... I'm admitting I used the Disney site once to see if...

So I struggle with people seeing my work. I know it's a self esteem thing, but also a little (probably a lot) concerning personal decisions. Art is personal. On the other hand art should be shown so I'm teaching myself to not hide as well as to be okay with mistakes. I want my skills back, all...

The problems come from where/what should this look like next? I make mistakes where I try and solve something in a way that we haven't used for 2 days when we're covering another new concept. It would be nice to know or see all these concepts going into the week but you don't until you come...

Man this math is.. idk how to explain other than hit and miss with materials? So: I can read the book and do its examples and take its formulas then try and apply them in our classwork. Well everything I've done this the book has not helped me by either not having all formulas being used this...

@Friday I do that but can only keep it up for so long. 6hrs into math and I can't keep it up.

I can relate @mrsmegan I went through that multiple times during my life at different ages.

@Killashandra Thank you for that brain thing. I seriously should have started with little things like that and should have thought about something like that sooner considering I study the freaking brain lol. I had thought about it months ago as possibly being a thing but I pushed it to the side...

Because I do not understand your situation fully, I can try to say what I took from this post. On one hand, if something happened to you by someone else it was not your fault they made a bad choice. That being said, if you were attacked sexually? and were not actively fighting the person it...

The funniest part is I am very advanced in science. The problem is simply this algebra that we're doing, you get these answers and I typically put them in the wrong order.... many many many times same mistake. So, I'll know what my mistake is and reorder it so I don't get it wrong,. then wait...

Math is f*cking hard for me okay. Not my best subject. this is my day all day when trying to go to class. as soon as I make 1 single mistake I start internally screaming as loud as possible "what the f*ck is wrong with you? you're so dumb. you're too stupid. you stupid f*cking swine shouldn't...

Being a creative introvert and developing/going through all this PTSD stuff really seems to effect creativity. Sometimes I thought I was just too tired to be creative and also okay with what I'm doing. I think that is part of the problem now too because I sleep more and more. Music ruins my day...

Silver, I hope your not experiencing pain with your hands. Thank you for that info on the shades of prismacolors. I've been feeling that they are the best to go with for color but just couldn't decide. Now I can. I was disappointed with the limited color variations in such a large crayon box...

Hi guys, I've been trying to use art therapy and would like to hear from people that do or have benefited from this. I would also like to use this thread as a good 'log' of the therapy journey for myself and anyone else interested in an 'art therapy buddy' of sorts. So my first step was a 64...

Stress relief/take the edge off in the earliest moments is the only way I know how to manage when I'm experiencing similar difficulties. I get extreme rage towards myself too. I think your choice to surf shows your strength, especially already being dressed up. A step is a step. Does having a...

Thank you @Ronin :)

Hi @Lucycat, I've been removing toxic people from my life for the most of this year, including my grandparents and my dad. Now it's still just moving forward. Thank you for the welcome :)

I would be so active if I could but I only weigh about 78-85 lbs. I'm supposed to be on bed rest but the anxiety wont let me.
