Thank you so much for the response, I'm thinking about trying art again. I did start a diary here and intend to buy a physical one. My goal is to stream on Twitch but I'm way off now due to prioritising the move. At the moment I'm trying to watch a wrestling PPV with my best friend who I'm...

I am going through a fairly identical experience. My partner and I of 9.5 years broke up in March, and we have been living together since. We are finally packing to move out by the end of the month, and everything got bad. The PTSD, the anxiety, the SI, all of it. I’m using every coping...

I was attacked and long time ago. I was on a date and the guy pinned me down and…you know. Recently I had a panic attack and when someone tried to help me. Next thing I know I’m on the ground crying and that person got blamed. I don’t know how to make things right again and I feel very alone.

Yeah, I hear you. The distribution of qualified therapists across the world is entirely inadequate. If you have a good relationship with your current T, that’s worth a lot. But keep an eye out for specialised trauma therapists, even by telehealth options. They aren’t a golden bullet, but my own...

Yes, doing the best with the hand I got, and new resources I've been learning to utilize on top of the normal, reach out, step back, grounding, you know. And last relationship I learned about manipulating someone to be healthy. Not a very good foundation to build on, but I guess for some people...

I've spent a lot of time in hospital, I really love your ideas to care plan. Stuff that also helped me: Where I was on the ward. So a side room, where it was private and I wasn't as triggered, and when that wasn't possible a bed at the end of a bay so I had at at least a wall one side of me...

...hospitalization, etc. (note that I'm extremely in my mind, heart rushing and I can't look away but focus on this alone.) I self harm as grounding/punishment. This way of thinking has happened before, and it does lead to actions being done, whether to myself or what's around me. I am afraid...

Hi CazzTheGeek 😊. I have no advice but just wanted to say I really admire how you’re coping. I am in a different situation - the opposite in fact, perhaps left by a sufferer - and reading your words moves something deep inside me. I am sorry you are going through such a hard time. Keep putting...

I feel like it has come up, I don't know how explicitly but I know she's gone over with me how I could for example put a complaint in about her and I think that did help for a while. it would be good to have conversation about it but I think at the moment it's just kind of tricking through and...

Hmm. Destabilising you like that seems weird. My T for one’s goal is to try and keep me grounded when we enter the tough stuff. Not that crying is bad and she’s trying to stop me from crying, but breaking down, probably. Why does he feel the need to have you crying a lot? Being emotive about it...

😊 @Sideways. I appreciate it very much. I think somedays I am stable enough but other not. I have okay days, then really bad days and yesterday I was in bed, so maybe EMDR will have to wait. I increased my meds and added a new one. I know I need to be patient, but being on the rollercoaster...

This really resonates with me. It took me a long time to recognize when my life was out of balance, when too much of my energy was wrapped up in one person, one relationship, or even one goal. I used to think that if I just focused harder, tried more, or did better, things would work out. But...

...in a good way. I never think of it that way, but it makes sense. it’s not weakness, it’s recovery. I also really appreciate the list of grounding ideas. I’ve been trying some breathing and self-soothing things (the stroking-your-arm idea actually sounds comforting), but I think I need to be...

i get nightmares like that, a lot of mine i feel fine in the dream but afterwards the content messes with my head a bit. some of them are disturbing but i go through it and wake up and just feel a little weird, which goes away after i get up and start doing my routine. i don’t think it’s...

Thank you. I think journaling just for myself would be beneficial. So far I only write updates of my week for my therapist (a habit leftover from dbt diary cards)

Yeah, the reliving it brings it to the here and now. But it’s always helpful to remember it isn’t happening now. What helps me is me speaking out loud to myself. Hearing my adult voice helps to ground me in the here and now. Also, stroking my arm or doing something like that to bring different...

...past disappointments, fear of being a burden, or just exhaustion. But you’re right, connection helps hold onto a sense of self. And your grounding techniques? I love how they focus on engaging the senses and just letting your hands and mind do whatever they need to do. Loud music, walking at...

Thanks for the reply Friday. Bad Lt? ROTFL. I've had a few of those and upwards into the thin air of staff officer brains. Trust for me is a tricky thing though as I never accept first impressions, just those with time served. So kids trying to fix me ain't going to happen. However. Just because...

Let's see if vodka works... I'm utterly skint, but that doesn't matter here; some old guy notice the uniform trousers and boots and decided we should drink. He put away half a bottle in one go. It is expected here that you neck the lot, but we are the country that invented spirits that taste...

...the amount of distress you’re having to deal with. Processing those memories with a therapist could be really helpful with that. In the meantime, some grounding skills that can help bring you out of those flashbacks in the moment they occur might also be helpful. Again, sorry for your loss.

not really would love to hear about it iam not sure but i would like to move on Accept it and leave it there in the past

Watering all the boxes . All the above ground plants I find should be watered daily. They dry out very quickly. I got a nice watering head for my hose and a new hose . This is self care I realize very shockingly. My old setup made me wreck the plants and get all wet. Luckily I blew up my...

First baby hummer of the year. Only one egg made it this time, the other one cracked after about a week, dried out and collapsed. She slowly removed all the pieces. She built a new nest, not too far from the previous one, same height, about four feet from the ground. Naming this chick Niblet.

*high fives fellow bio nerd* If you like genetics check out the website “Messy Beast”. It’s older but it’s chock full of rare photos and interesting content. I suspect that it’s just the word being used differently. Because like leucism in snake breeding is the all white with dark eyes—no...
