    Drowning From The Inside

    I am doing the worst I've ever been in my life. I did something earlier this week and I've never done anything like it in 14 years. Everyone around me sees me as resilient they tell me I'm strong they don't stop saying that. They even lean on me. I'm tired though just tired and I want to be...

    Drowning From The Inside

    I spent all day getting my mind together trying to prepare myself to work. Just for him to act like he cares and hurt me again and now I am floundering, my eyes full of tears. I hate this, I wish I could afford childcare, I wish didn't live thousands of miles from my family, I wish I were...

    Drowning From The Inside

    I want to dissociate. But I can't because I have so much work and I have other things to do...like I am in the middle of midterms. I don't want to be here like attending to the work. I emailed my professor so I can turn in some things late and I am going to stay home tomorrow alone for a while...

    Drowning From The Inside

    I usually journal to get it out, or let myself space out. But it's been so much of the same trigger and back to back to back. So like I am overwhelmed. I literally just ate like 6-8 pieces of candy. I am zoning out in front of the tv. I want it to stop so bad. I started couples counseling last...

    Drowning From The Inside

    All day I was daydreaming. I have a lot of schoolwork to do and today was the day to do it. Instead I cleaned my house slowly, not even the whole thing, and hung out with my family. I want to graduate but I do this over and over to myself. I half ass my assignments, I bullshit, and don't pay...

    Sinking....

    Me too...I struggle with the writing part..but what I do...is take a moment to write for a while on just how i am feeling and then I move on to my paper. Journaling..helps me so much. I also schedule breaks...and periods where I do no work and I don't even think of it!

    What To Do - Ptsd, 49, Male And Expecting???

    I was told a long time ago by a therapist that you have to have reasons to live for yourself. You can't live for your kids, for your family, or for anyone other than yourself. No parent is perfect. We all have problems. At the same time though your life will change exponentially permanently and...

    Drowning From The Inside

    I am not familiar with trusting people to do that. That will be a hard thing for me to trust in ...just sharing has been painful in some of my exchanges and so my experiences with falling apart are similar ..I hope I will get there...and feel like I am safe enough here to fall apart.

    Is It Wrong To Want Him To Understand & Accept Me?

    You're completely right. We actually have gotten into the nitty gritty of this what we want and expect from another and you're right neither of us can give it. I was willing to compromise in some way but he seems stuck ...I don't want to just walk away but its so hard with my cptsd and ddd to...

    Study Study: Cultural Humility And Trauma Treatment

    Is it possible to have the definition of how you operationalize the term "cultural humility " in your study? I feel like culture can mean anything and I guess I would like to know how how you as a researcher interpret it for your paper. I agree with the premise about that...but I feel the way...

    Sufferer Impostor Syndrome, Cptsd, And Other Things

    Impostor syndrome can be defined as a collection of feelings of inadequacy that persist even in face of information that indicates that the opposite is true.
