Check out Marcus Stanley. He was shot up and left for dead by a gang. Spent the next year in the hospital. It’s obvious how hard he has leaned into God. Words from the Bible just flow out of his mouth. He was involved with worship before that. Still plays the keyboard for all of us occasionally...

We understand here. We haven’t all walked through the same trauma, but the trauma we have walked through has been severe. Full respect for you and everything you have done as a sacrifice for all of us. Thank you.

I’m glad you reached out here, and I am looking forward to hearing from other combat vets to support you. So sorry for this situation that you’re in, but so thankful that there are ways to deal with it. I have dealt with legal issues many times. Depending on so many variables, it may or may not...

Hello Seeninlifedifferently, I’m very thankful that you are seeing miracles happening in your life. Keep yourself open to see them. That is exactly what they are, miracles. The more you see the miracles that are happening in your life, the more trust you can rebuild with God. He is there for...

Absolutely! I would be happy to share and be here for you as long as you need until you find your way back. I’m a little tired right now and I can’t keep clear. I will get back to you but not today. I have health issues that allow me to function sometimes and sometimes don’t. Thanks for your...

Thank you very much for this Alfie. I have developed a nonstop tic from the trauma. It’s very hard to stop, and gets worse in stressful situations. But I have learned that it’s like a habit and like an addiction. You have to be mindful when you’re doing it and choose to provide your body with...

But I’m not fluent in it, and it has been a very long time since I have practiced it. Welcome to this forum and I hope that it helps you as much as it has helped me. According to the rules, apparently you need to translate into English before you post. That should be no trouble, and there are...

I’m sorry for your struggle. I think that after a person has been treated badly for a long time, they may have a hard time believing the truth about themselves. It’s not your fault that you’re feeling that way. It’s not your fault that they treated you that way. But it is possible to break free...

Could be limiting his exposure to you so he doesn’t want to get triggered. Could be anything. The only way that you will know is to ask him, and he answers honestly. That takes bravery and willingness to hear what he has to say even if you don’t want to hear it. If you do ask him sandwich...

There is no defined length for a season. My life has many seasons going on at the same time. I have a season of disability and sickness for the past 25 years. I have multiple seasons of multiple years of dealing with abuse. When caring for a child, I believe the season starts when they are born...

Thank you for your honesty and explaining your situation. I’m sorry that you’re going through this. I understand completely. In my own situation, I chose to sacrifice myself for the good of my children. It was not fun. It was not good for me. But it was better than the alternative for my...

Thank you for engaging in this conversation with me. Thank you for being open to try to see things from the other side. No one else can know what triggers a person unless they are told by that person. I’m sorry for the predicament that you are in, not being able to communicate. But I encourage...

Thank you very much for directing me to this thread. I apologize. I am not excusing my behavior, but I have not been on a good footing for quite some time, and I make mistakes. I am reading this thread and will do my best to follow it. This is the first time I have been involved with a forum...

As I reread this post a light bulb went off about why I have had the need to control things. When you described your situation of needing to be responsible for others, I could relate. My mother placed me in the position as her protector from my father. That’s a lot of responsibility for a kid...

Welcome. Hope you find this forum helpful. Reach out anytime. People here, get it. This forum has been a safe place for me to share with others who get it. We’re all here to support one another. 😊

Hi ADHDvantage, this forum was created for people who have PTSD or CPTSD. You will have to check with the people in charge regarding people who are trying to support people who are dealing with PTSD and CPTSD. I’m relatively new here. I can relate to the symptoms that you described for ADHD. I...

I’ve been reading the book The Body Keeps Score. The trauma doesn’t just go away when the perpetrator dies. You are no longer in danger of further harm, but the harm that has been done is still there. No one can tell you to just move on. Just like everyone else here has told you, people who tell...

Sorry for your struggle Punky. Sounds hard. We can only do what we can do. The housing problem in my area is bad too. Forced me and my son to go back to the house with abusive husband. Some things we can change. Other things we need to learn how to live with it. If you have to live with the...

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for your struggle. Do you have anyone on the outside who can help you? I understand. I have been stuck in unhealthy situations as well. Do you have a counselor or therapist who can support you as you consider the possibility of moving out or face staying there...

So sorry for the abuse from your family. Glad that you found us. This is a safe place to engage with people who understand and are here to support you in your healing journey. Welcome. Wishing you well. ❤️

I have spent my entire life over compensating good for all the bad. That is until I became completely disabled. That made it a bit more difficult. However, prior to that, I had one heck of a life, and I enjoyed every moment of it that I could. My kids and I were never home. We were always out...

I forgot a few things. Keep believing in miracles and have your eyes open to see them when they come. I truly do happen all of the time, but many of us just don’t see them. Also, my testimony in the last year has been that God has opened doors while others have closed. After a year of going...

You and I have a whole lot in common. I have come through the stage that you are in and I have come back to my faith, but everything you described I have lived. Undiagnosed ADHD , dyslexia. and possible autism along with diagnosed PTSD and undiagnosed CPTSD; the hundreds of verses that I had...

Since Covid, the possibility of virtual therapy and virtual doctor appointments have become a reality in some areas. I hope and pray that you can at least find someone who will work with you in this way. Wishing you well as you look into the excellent inpatient option in the near future. Do the...

Personally, I cannot comprehend how an unhealthy relationship between therapist and patient can be constructive. Unless there is a supportive relationship by the therapist, I truly believe it can cause more damage. Personally, I don’t stay with anyone I don’t trust. They have to earn my trust...
