Hi SeekingAfrica, thank you for sharing. It’s nice to get to know you. I think a lot of of us understand what you’re going through. I have just recently gotten into a safe place where I can actually start healing. It looks like you’re already on the way. I’m just starting to learn about DBT. It...

🥲❤️✝️🙌🙌🙌 Thank you SO much for your life giving words to me and to everyone who will read it. I am praising our Father for miraculously, connecting me with this platform and all of you who get it. Yes, I’ve been through the fire. I’ve been through many forest fires that have left ashes in the...

I had a “trauma therapist” for 10 years before I realized that he was not a “trauma therapist”, but he was a therapist who had trauma listed as one of the things that he treated. I fired him for yelling at me that edema was not a side effect of the medication that the hospital put me on. I have...

I’m sorry that you are feeling a lot of anger and vengeance. I used to have a lot of anger. Now I’m just exhausted from it all. I hope that you are able to work through some of the anger, for your sake. I found that it was not good for me or for the people in my life. I have such a bad taste in...

deno, Thank you very much for your reply. I have read it over many times. I have the same understanding that you have expressed. I truly appreciate hearing it from someone else besides me. 🙏✝️❤️

Thank you very much for sharing that verse with me. I try to keep my head in a good place, my eyes on the Lord and not my circumstances. I try to trust God and His Word. Sometimes it is so far removed from the reality of my life. And then, when I start trusting him, there are people around me...

We have more than just trauma in common Friday. My ex is a pedophile too. It sucks. I get it. My son dreams about killing him for what he did to him. We are just trying to survive life. I wish I could do more than just survive, but my body has had more than it can handle. Pretty much my life is...

Sorry for your struggles. Glad you reached out. I have found that even though I don’t have many people in my life physically, I can get support from many people through online communities like this one. Keep reaching out. Keep sharing your challenges. Try to find commonality with some of the...

My son recently signed himself in and stayed for like a weekend. Then he signed himself out. It was just what he needed to get through the hump. Hope that’s a viable option for you if you need it.

I have seen members reach out to the AI doctor here. I recommend that you give that a try and ask about different modes of treatment. I believe you can trust what you find here. If you go out and just google something, you don’t know if you can trust it. The AI has been customized by Anthony...

I am looking for a scripture to help me right now. Thank you for coming alongside me and pointing me to scripture. I have been very confused by people who call themselves Christians, followers of Jesus, yet live in a state of hate, my husband included. For the past few weeks I have not been...

Hi Catsr4me. Welcome to the forum. I hope that you find encouragement and wisdom from the people here. I have basically lived in a state of nonstop triggering for the past two years until just a few weeks ago when my boundaries were finally recognized. I can understand your episodes. I have lost...

That is what I learned to do. Anger contains a lot of energy and when we learn to focus that energy in productive ways, it is powerful. Thanks for sharing Teddie.

My husband is a retired police officer who has now admitted to 21 years of hateful treatment of me. I won’t give any more details. The past two years have been hell on earth. In my quest to move past the abuse and trauma that I have, I have invested in a lot of resources to learn more about...

Welcome Whenskyended! I hope you feel like you are being heard and understood. That’s how I have felt. People here, get it and have been through it. People here have great wisdom and experience. I spent 10 years in therapy that was called “trauma therapy” but it really wasn’t. You need to be...

No worries. I just did the same thing.

I just noticed a mistake in my message. I use text to type, and I forgot to reread it. It says I would call it disability. What I actually said was I would.NOT call it disability. Thanks for your grace. Don’t know if I made any other mistakes. Oh well. Sorry, “talk to text “ my brain doesn’t...

Thank you deno! That’s always my goal, to help others to keep moving forward. I’m glad that I am among my people here. People here get it. For the first time in my life I feel understood. So many people in my world just don’t get it. ❤️❤️❤️

I am 63 and I am undiagnosed. My grandson is showing signs of it. I learned to focus the extra energy it brought to fuel my escape from my life. My escape was school. It was where I was safe. I worked very very hard to succeed, and I did but it took a while. I also had dyslexia undiagnosed. I...

I wish I had a better sense of humor. My son does, but somehow I missed that gene. Thankful for the humor here. Trying to learn to take life a whole lot less seriously. 🤣😂🤣

Welcome. Glad you reached out here. Hoping that hearing other’s stories helps you through this hard place. There is a lot of experience and wisdom here. Know that what you are experiencing is normal for someone with PTSD. You can and will continue on your healing journey and get through this...

Welcome to the forum. It sounds like you have a pretty good handle on treatment modalities. I have found this for him to be part of my treatment. I have both benefited by others sharing, and benefited by sharing my stories. I hope you find it equally helpful. There’s also a lot of information in...

Thank you so much for your input. It is so valuable to all of us. My son wasn’t trafficked, but he was, unbeknownst to me, the victim of his birth father’s pedophilia for the first 3 1/2 years of his life. I don’t know the extent of it, but knowing my first husband I know it was intense. My son...

Since my son has been on the streets I want to work with homeless people. I have been watching America’s Got Talent as a diversion, and I have seen 3 different choirs made up of homeless people. I would love to be a part of that.
