Part of my trauma centers around keeping the house clean... I could never be good enough and all that. Now, out of the horror, I struggle every day to just wash a bowl so I can have cereal or something. sweeping gives me panic attacks, etc. I know I have to do the chores and work through the...

Thank you. Yeah i guess it doesn't help to worry about diagnoses. I'm still trying to get into therapy again. All I've been able to use is the free short term counselling services available yearly here in ontario.

Yes I've done a lot of research on narc abuse, and you're absolutely right, Just can't seem to get over the betrayal and abuse no matter how much time passes... It's been over 2 years for me.

I feel like i'm spiraling again and getting a ton of PTSD symptoms. I am not self-diagnosing as I don't believe in it, but I've been doing a lot of reading on CPTSD and how it shares a lot of the same symptoms as bpd. I've also read about Quiet bpd and it seems pretty accurate only I don't have...

I've been through a similar situation only it was my mother-in-law abusing me and her son, my partner, while he was fighting cancer an undergoing a bone marrow transplant. Very covertly too I might add. I went no contact after she left when he was released from hospital, well as much as I could...

Good advice +littlebird. If I don't get up and sort of shake it off I go right back to sleep and the dream seems to just continue or restart. It really does help to distract yourself for a spell before going back to sleep.

Prazosin has helped me a lot. Doesn't work 100% all the time, some of the nightmares can still come through. I've gone from having them every night to 1, maybe 2, a week with prazosin.

I have somewhat of the same problem... I avoid housework because it was so central with the abuse that I'm triggered whenever I need to do it. Needless to say my place is a mess because I avoid housework... I have a case worker who suggested I try doing this work called Distress Tolerance...

I feel like some are best avoided and cut out of your life (Like an abusive...mother in law...). Others need to be dealt with or they get exponentially worse.

I avoid my feelings, they usually come when triggered, for example: Anger. When I am angry I don't know what todo with it, how to deal with it. So I avoid it at all costs. I'm supposed to be trying to work through the triggering things but, again, avoid avoid avoid... out of fear. My...

omg how? I really want to escape sometimes... when my uncontrolled dissociation occurs I have no memory of what happens and It only lasts minutes so I'm told... I really hate taking meds (which is what I do to make me sleep so I can forget for a time...) I know that sounds bad.....

This has been starting to really bother me too lately. I feel it's mostly short term memory being messed with. I'll ask my boyfriend something and not remember his answer, then annoy him by constantly asking him the question... The opposite is true as well, I could have swore I said yes to going...
