    Unlovable, unacceptable, weird, shunable

    I don't think that is a cultural distortion but an unrealistic picture the media and Hollywood likes to paint as being the majority, not the minority. That picture exists in a few cities, but not all and certainly not the type of area you grew up in which is a decent chunk of rural America...

    Praozin

    I always had vivid dreams but I never thought about it effecting my ability to fall asleep, so the answer is possibly, but didn't make the connection.

    Nature Remedies For Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Overthinking And Insomnia

    Please becareful with kolonapin. It cause major issues for me. Busbar too but it didn't have the near deadly effects or withdraw seziuers I didn't even know I had. Diet is soooo important! I went from all all organic, everything cooked from scratch to only having access to food from gas...

    Methylfolate — Does it help you?

    After a few weeks you are probably good. You most likely weren't deficient in minerals nor did you have inflammation, fybromyalgia or elevated c-reactive protein. You also must not be eating things that are fortified with folic acid which is a huge no no! A single mutation reduces your...

    Research Experiences of Trauma Survivors (Graduate-level Research)

    I loved the fact that it gave the option to write in explanations for worst trauma, I had the same issue and said so in the explanation. I pretty much went with the most recent vs. worst.

    I expect him not to get angry. Is that fair?

    @Mach123 anger doesn't equal violence. Some people get violent, most don't. You can't tell someone e what to feel, be it sadness, anxiety, or anger. It is how the person expresses that anger. Maybe the compromise is that the angry person avoids the other when angry?

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    I give up, can't figure out how to quote on a phone. @EveHarrington, I think you missed a few posts that's OK, going back I see I missed some on the first page somehow. I am trying to process a crap ton of stuff. Leave vs. Fix? Is a new development yes but it took me realizing things...

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    I will look at that book, always open to book recommends. I will say he is very different in regards to relationships. I don't see him finding someone new for a long time. Its the same reasons that used to make me feel safe. Same reaskns I don't expect to find someone new for years to come...

    I expect him not to get angry. Is that fair?

    I admittedly skimed over some of this thread. I maybe compleatly out of touch with not feeling anger in the way therapists think I should, but I do know what 10+ years of different therapists saying the same thing, I think the experts disagree with you. Also, I am witnessing first hand the...

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    I want both, and yes I am 100% sure and while I would love stability, crave it even, saftey is a bigger concern.

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    Still trying to work up to posting in more detail, its mentally exhausting. The more I work on formulating a plan the more guilty I feel, because I don't think he will take it well. Actually afraid it might break him because he depends on me for so much too. It goes both ways but con...

    Lamictal experience?

    I wasn't on it for long. I was pout on doxipin at the same time, so it is hard to say if the side effects where from on or the other. The rash though is very scary. I had it drilled into my head to do a full body scan daily. I advise you to do the same.

    Research Experiences of Trauma Survivors (Graduate-level Research)

    I liked the way this one was set up. I have been pretty vocal in the past about my frustration with the way some are set up. They did a great job addressing those issues.

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    That should say I don't know if serious. I was shaking so hard from fear when I posted this. I don't know if he was serious or not. It is easy to believe due to my fear of being touched in my sleep and the fact that I do wake up in a state of terror as a result. I just don't know anymore know...

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    I get what you are saying, but I can't even be sure if he was lying or telling the truth about my lashing out in my sleep. I have never knowingly assaulted him and he talked about in terms of "growing claws and fangs in my sleep" So I don't want to come across as defending my self but I...

    How to feel safe without a saftey net?

    I posted this in the heat of the moment, but its out now no going back. To be honest I didn't want to leave because even though there is nothing between us anymore he was all I had. I didn't want people questioning why I hadn't left, and I have been through so much latley that trying to...
