Nicolette, I did not "attack Anthony personally" about the rules...I "attacked" him because he was immature in saying that us new members are causing "bullshit" and are "bitching and whining" I am sorry, but it was immature of him to say it that way. And yes, I am sensitive, I admitted...

We're whining??? Riiiiiight. Anthony, It isn't about the way the infraction, or warning is written. For me, I just don't see the sense of alienating someone over not capitalizing a thread title, or for grammatical error ect. The way the warning is written isn't what is harsh. It is that...

I call my husband "My love", or hun. I call my little sister May, or Babe. Her name is Machala (pronounced Makayla) Sometimes I call her Machaladon...lol because her middle name is Dawn, Machala Dawn, but I think it sounds like she's a dinosaur. (you can't tell I love her much can you?) I...

LOL! Thanks A-Ron. That was a great reply...I'm giving you rep. I did tell a guy my story once, and told him he was being a complete idiot because he was threatening to commit suicide because he didn't like his job, and then his parents didn't buy him what he wanted for Christmas...this guy...

LOL. This is a good one. I especially liked the poll questions. I wasn't able to answer though, as I didn't feel any of them fit me. For me, I can be very apathetic towards people. This is somewhat strange considering I am what is considered an "empath" in occult circles. I do know what...

Hi again. I think those little bits you're describing about zoning out in school, or while doing homework, or while being forced to sit until you eat your veggies (for me it was fish, but yeah) is like daydreaming. Particularly when you're a child this is very common. You probably don't even...

I suffer from extreme social anxiety. To this day, I find it almost impossible to make a phone call, I freeze up and cannot make myself do it. I become VERY anxious, and ill even, if I have to be in a large crowd. In the past, I was unable to go shopping on my own, take a bus on my own walk...

I've never thought about this clearly enough to have asked a question about it, but in reading this thread I think I have done exactly what you're talking about. I only remember my assault (at age 17) in small bits and pieces that I remember as if I am seeing snapshots, or small bits of video...

I don't think this is dissociation. It sounds like intrusive thoughts to me. At least the second post, definitely more like intrusive thoughts. The first post sounds like it might be a defense mechanism, but not dissociation. It sounds like your pushing people away because you fear going...

Wow. I am amazed at the work that you do to help others. That is wonderful. I have often wished I could use my story to help others, even if it is just one, but I am too afraid to tell my whole story. And I fear others would look down on me and ridicule. I guess maybe they wouldn't...

I consider myself to be passionate. In fact, when I had to do a project in my presentations class using one word to describe me, the word was passionate.

Thanks for saying that Missy. I have had a lot of problems getting over that whole incident. It pretty much messed up the next few years of my life afterwards. My stepmother was so angry with me, that she wouldn't let me visit her or my father for 2 years after it happened, and in fact, the...

Hi StillTrying, Welcome to the forum. I hope you find what you're looking for here. I don't know if you've looked at the Diaries section, or considered starting one, but they are very helpful, and talking it all out, even if it's just on here and with your psychologist is very important...

Hi Tin, Welcome. As others have mentioned, have a look at the carers section. You may find it to be extremely helpful. Also, I know of at least one person on here who was diagnosed with PTSD from being attacked my a dog. I will contact her through PM to see if she'd be willing to talk to you...

Hi LadyLux, Welcome to the forum. You can look through the threads on here that have to do with coping skills, there are many good suggestions in those. Or, you could tell us some of the symptoms you find yourself having, and we'll try to answer accordingly. I hope you find the support you...

Hi SOB, Welcome to the forum. For now I recommend looking around the site, seeing what it is all about, and getting to "know" some of us. When you are ready, talking about your trauma, and your feelings are good ways to help us get to know you, so that we can lend support and advice. You can...

I stole my grandmothers diamond necklace when I was 15. I didn't even know it was real gold, or had a diamond in it...I didn't even like the thing. I took it because she had caused me extreme distress at a time when I couldn't take any more, and I was angry with her. She has disowned me for...

If you feel there's an issue, you need to listen to that feeling and discuss the issue. Try not to be confrontational, but say your piece, and get your feelings out. It's easier said than done, I know, so please don't feel I am making light. I could tell from your post that you know you...

I know this is a rather late reply, but I thought I would contribute my thoughts on the matter. I know you are thinking of her best interests, and you may be right that her family needs to know about this, but you really should not go behind her back to tell them about her attack and PTSD if...

Expanding on Cragger's comments I've done a great amount if studying the Buddhist and Hindu religions. I know that Karma isn't meant to be viewed in terms of punishment...but that is largely how it is interpreted. We're only human, our minds can only understand so much. I think the concepts...

Fin, LOL :)

Those stories ARE great. :) I had such a big smile on my face reading about bridge jumping. I could picture it so well. I wouldn't do it, because I have water/depth issues...major phobia. I'd LOVE to go skydiving though. it's on my real life to do list. Though I have to find a buddy to do...

Some Clarification of Intent, and Reason Behind The Thread I understand what you mean about the psychosis, and I am familiar with those types of delusions. However, I don't believe it is that case for me as I don't literally believe it to be the case, and it wasn't really what I was referring...

This sounds like classic flashback and regression to me..with some dissociating thrown in to confuse things. (you answered your own question) Those ones are very hard...especially if you remember it. If you don't though it is very confusing and scary. Try not to worry about it, and dwell on it...

I agree with brokenchild. I was majorly triggered both times that I received this "infraction". I have also seen one person who received one, and then never came back. Her name was Ruby...and she got an infraction on her first ever post..then she came back and sarcastically commented about the...
