    Still here, not sure why

    I hate when neighbors drill at early morning or late evening 😬

    Dressing up

    It's interesting how fashion behaves. Nowadays if you would tress like in three-piece-suits or a dress with petty coats you would be the leading example of the alternative fashion movement

    Good smells

    Smell of fresh coffee, lavender or pine forest outside me in a good mood

    Dressing up

    Wow blue jeans as dress code sounds kinda weird 😬😂. Was denim that fashionable in 1980s?

    Dressing up

    I have noticed too that when I put a bit makeup and nice clothes when going out or to work I feel more confident. I do it for myself not for others

    Last movie or tv series you watched?

    Do you feel like Patrick Jane's actor plays realistically how it is to live with a big trauma? In some ways his character is pretty flamboyant but at times his messed up side shows up too (particularly when Red John & his friends appear)

    Still here, not sure why

    So how do you play this 'an then what' game? Is it like a dialogue with the anxiety like: what if I have cancer -> I go to doctor to get treated -> well what if I need surgery? -> then I will get surgery ->...

    Depression worse

    I do have these feelings pretty regularly. Sometimes I know why I am having it and sometimes not. Anxiety attack is a bitch

    Dealing with loss of interest in enjoyed activities

    What happened prior you lost interest in activities you previously enjoyed? Do these formerly pleasant activities feel now threatening/triggering? Do you get enough sleep or food so do you have energy to get out of your bed?

    I think Im gonna kill myself. I know exactly how to do it

    I think untreated pstd might potentially lead your kids getting traumatized but to me it seems you are doing your best to get help and get better. And I think kids can handle knowing that their parent has a difficult time a) if they have been explained in age appropriate way that mom/dad is...

    Relationship Supporting CPTSD spouse's boundaries in cutting off friendships

    Did your husband tell why exactly he felt that your conversation with the wive he felt like betrayal? As I understood from the your text that he had confided to the couple previously? Would he have been more comfortable if he had been present in the said discussion? Maybe he was afraid that you...

    I think I'm going to get sued and evicted - Violent avoidance stopping me from actually responding to the situation.

    It seems to me you are already doing your best at the moment. I get that the police report is stressful, but as you said it's a bureaucratic way for your soon-to-be-ex landlord to start a collecting process (which is even more stressful). Your only 'crime' is being late in rent. You haven't...

    My T Said I Seem Disconnected & I Don’t Know What She Means

    Is dissociation like being in your own thoughts or is it something more specific? I tend to spend much of my time in my head

    What would you choose?

    IMHO both excellent reasons not to own a tv. And I have blocked most of the news sites I know so can't do that either 🙈

    What Are You Grateful For Today?

    Dogs, cats or something else?

    I think Im gonna kill myself. I know exactly how to do it

    In my experience social media (fb, reddit, discord etc.) can be helpful but they can also turn into very 'inside' groups. Basically like in a high school with cliques, us-vs-them mentality and high drama. I very much prefer this more traditional online forum setting which is open to everyone but...

    I am a burden

    Yeah you are worth saving and I am sorry that your mum doesn't believe in depression & anxiety which are both official and well recognized illnesses in medical community.
