Don't forget we are here for you! We get how it is!!

What's funny is I recognize what looks like some PTSD symptoms in a small few I've known in the past, but I didn't see it at the time. Now that I recognize my own illness I can see it better. I don't think I'd ever be intuitive or perceptive enough to notice it in strangers unless it was very...

Thanks for sharing your wisdom with me bento. Extremely good advice that I will work to implement into my life interactions. Thank you again :)

Thank you friends for your replies.

I would just take it down and thats it. No reply. No email. No admittance.

Yes definitely talk to your new T about it just for your own peace. We don't always do things we are proud of and that's part of being human. It'll blow over. Next thing you know it'll be 5 years later and you barely care anymore, lol seriously.

I don't feel like liking animals gives you some sort of free pass at being a good human being... I mean sheesh, lol. Where did that belief come from anyway? Animals are cute and all that but they're really just stinky chores to me. Maybe thats harsh but I'm sorry... I don't like flowers...

I'm literally in tears for you. I'm so sorry. I hear and feel your words and where you're coming from, you didn't really want to hurt your son and of COURSE you didn't want him to die--nobody thinks that here. You're a strong woman to endure the life you've described, and I'm sure you have...

No. I don't think you are overreacting. That was rude and insensitive. You might want to bring it up at your next session and explain how it made you feel.

Because I supposedly "don't show any remorse".

Has anyone close to you accused you of being a sociopath? I got that one recently and was obv put off by it. This person said I was a sociopath because I "don't feel empathy" and "dislike animals". It feels like a misunderstanding of some of the parts PTSD but still was quite the insult...

EXACTLY!

Every one has problems and their own issues about things. If you don't want to date her anymore, let her know and move on... life is too short. I didn't think her gifting was strange but her not wanting you over to her house definitely is. Is she closeted?

Its a difficult time and you want to stop this reaction from happening, but this is a very crucial healing moment for you. I can tell you from experience that when this kind of thing you described happened to me, it was the very beginning of the road to healing. The mind will do what it must...

Well... while we all work on our issues, we are quite blessed to have this community. Full of other people who can relate on a personal level and not just a sympathetic way-- people who actually feel and experience the disorder firsthand. We have this place and we have friends here... so, hi...

How are you Rosie11? I want to hear from you :)

Wow it's like you took this from my soul and put it into words... so true!

Oh yes. I am a total misanthrope. I try not to express it too much but it's hard not to look at humanity with resentment. Hurt. People think this makes you a bad person. I feel like I am overly aware and wary of people for a good reason... we all have good reason here on this forum to...

I don't experience this and would be mortified if people witnessed me dissociating. What happens to you when these episodes happen, if i may ask

Can you explain?

Respect the boundaries she's trying to establish. When you're disappointed with her responses, remember she's human too. She doesn't owe you anything beyond professional supervision regardless of any of the circumstances or how you feel about it. Looking for her motive... She's overwhelmed...

Obviously something else is bothering him...

Oh wow this post and the replies are so interesting for a different reason.... I too had a motherly type supervisor which at times bordered unhealthy. It's kind of interesting to see there are a few of us PTSD sufferers who have had the same kind of experience. Are we subconsciously seeking...

Sounds like he was just drained. Happens.

Did this more when I was younger. I also didn't realize I was obsessively triggering myself, but when I did realize it I did the wise thing and stopped myself asap. Just like a muscle, the more you train your thought patterns and directions, the stronger you'll get.
