Excatly why I posted here. Someone always understands, I mean, really understands!

Thank you, rightkindofme, yes I do know that :-) I just feel like it is slipping away from me, and I get overwhelmed with this (paranoid?) feeling that everyone around me does not know or feel that, and that I am beginning to think that way my self. That is new and it scares me....

Thank you guys for your kind and supportive words :hug: Keifer, thank you for your advise, but I am unfortunatly no novice regarding PTSD :-) I have been in intensive therapy right from the start; the rape victim center, cognitive therapy, gestalt therapy, EMDR and even Reiki healing ;). I am...

It seems as though my cognitive reason and emotions are fighting against each other. I know it is fruitless to compare trauma, but I feel so pathetic and guilty for having developed PTSD over so 'little'. Ever since I was badly triggerd about a month ago, I feel like I am beginning to adapt...

Hi, and welcome to the forum! I am sorry for what happend to you. I am submitting my thesis aswell at the end of this month, so I can relate. I am also a rape survivor, so I can relate to that too. I wish you the best with your thesis and your healing :-)

I am a capable, dedicated student, but also a student who has to live with PTSD. On top of that, I took care of my terminally ill father thorughout these final years at uni, and still managed to be at the top of my class. I am sure my professors saw me as dedicated student who was just facing...

I understand that! I was nervous if they would take it as an excuse, but they never did. It was just reality. Sometimes I could not handle the stress or the traveling.

Hi Ice_Fire, Good for you :-) I have let my professors know about my PTSD when necessary. For example, if I was not well enough to go on a seminar etc. (My courses envolved a lot of traveling). At the moment, I am writing my final thesis, and my personal tutor is well aware of my PTSD and how...

When you scream while at the pharmacy because you got startled by a plasticbag in a trashcan! (The draft form opening the door made it move :-)

Waw, congratulations Lionheart. That is amazing, good for you :-)

Welcome to the forum :-) I would just like to add that with your situation I do not see the purpose of you volunteering somewhere :-) It sounds like you have more than enough on your plate! I view it as time to be kind to yourself now. You deserve it. Working on yourself and your own healing...

Of course :-) It is called: 'Narccisistic abouse- how it occures and how to overcome it.'

It is Melanie Tonia Evans words, not mine. That is where it is coming from.

I hear you, anonymous! But it also makes it difficult to talk about our experiences if it requires that what we are referring to as narcissists is only appropriate if the have an NPD diagnose. None of the narcissists I have encountered have had a diagnose (to my knowlegde), but it did not make...

You are right, in some sense, it is! But it was meant as a friendly advise because I do percieve her theory as harmful. Peptites are very real. Very superficailly put, they make strings of protien in our bodys. There are neuro-peptides aswell. Again, I find that statement to, maybe not shift...

In any case, I would be careful listening to Melanie Tonia Evans' 'theories' about peptides and narcissistic abuse. I have seen some of her videos on youtube and found them appauling to say the least. I am strongly convinced that she is a narcissist herself. She uses the same tactics. Just very...

Philippa, are you referring to Melanie Tonia Evans?

I think what is meant with persuasion is a reference to the mind games and severe mental abuse narcs do to their victims. Subtle, and ever so slightly, they get inside your head and twist your mind around, here and there, wherever they want and that can easily cause their victims to develop PTSD.

Wow Thinkingman, I am really , really sorry to hear what he put you through! Just to clarify, I did not mean that you should just 'get over it' or stop thinking about it! Of course it sticks with you! Your brother deliberately harmed you/tried to kill you. I understand how and why you are...

What helped me a lot was to educate myself as much as I could about these parasites. I think most people could not understand that. Why do you want to keep thinking about it? She is out of your life now, let it go etc. But I needed to know what the bloddy hell happend to me! Knowlegde is power -...

Oh, it's tapping, right? I have tried that, not consistently, but I liked it a lot :-) I did feel like it was working.

I do believe the original poster was asking about EFT aswell, not that I have any idea about what that is! :-)

My Reiki-healer has helped me more in a only a few sessions, than any therapist has helped me in 4 years.

Thank you so much :-) That means a lot to me! Your hugs are greatly appreciated :-)

Thanks, Kas_Can_Fly! I don't know either, but what I have decided to to about my situation, is that I have sent the former 'friend' an educational video on victim blaming by 'Project Unspoken'. Maybe he will discover that he is not alone in this (pun intended:-), that the discourse around...
