    Soooo hot. Like 28C here. My English bones ain’t happy about it. I’m sweating my tits off.

    What would you think/ do?

    You are in no way expecting too much or sounding anyway ungrateful. I do think it’s something you should discuss, and he’s probably self aware enough to realise his organisational skills aren’t his strong suit. He could potentially take extra effort if he knows it’s triggering distrust in your...

    Thinking of working with drug addicts

    Why not use it as a bit of a super power? The only thing to consider is the levels of burnout in this kind of work, especially dealing with the demand of a conveyer belt of clients. Would that be something that you see effecting you? But saying that, did you like this work? I have the mentality...

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    my point was if you walk in to a psychiatrists office and say that it was aliens, then they’re skeptical. I’m not saying that would be their complete assessments, just that that would be something that they’re used to dealing with, and it would be something they’d consider. From what I know of...

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    psychiatrists are used to treating psychosis. They hear aliens and they’d go there. ??? Have you read what I wrote? Maybe, but this happened recently. I agree that something is incredibly off about this. I never diagnosed them with anything, I just said what I was thinking to see if it would...

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    I mean, whatever is going on you deserve to get help. I completely believe there’s something that’s happened. But, I’m going to say that if you go to any psychiatrist or therapist and claim it was aliens that abducted you their initial thought would be psychosis. As you start to open up and...

    I was thinking something more like an interpretation of it. With the things brains do and all. But also, good point.

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    Whatever you think would be helpful. On this site you can create a trauma diary, and that is something that you can share your story and update, as well as get support through other memories, or even just people being there and hearing you. I’m from the UK so I’m not entirely sure how it works...

    PTSD from alien abductoin recently

    That sounds like it’s triggering some symptoms for you. There’s many grounding techniques that’ll work for that. If you google “101 grounding techniques” there’s a very good website that my therapist uses. Not everything will work, just try out different things if you can. Any intrusive...

    This is a pretty good place to, at your own pace. There’s many strategies and perspectives that I’ve learnt on this forum that have helped. Start wherever you like, I hope we can get or provide you some support.

    Screwed

    I think it’s easy at first to not understand why you react the way you do. Mistakes can happen, but when you swing for people, there’s consequences. Anger management could be really beneficial. I mean, do you feel bad about it? Or are you more worried about the consequences? There’s therapies...

    Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

    Just listening and following along again. No one deserves to live in fear they’ll lose their house and animals, and neither do you. Best of luck job hunting, littleoc. I’m proud of you for carrying on regardless

    Sexual Assault Csa and gender— let’s talk about it

    Thanks for this thread, I need to come back to it. Someone asked me once what gender I’d truly be without the whole DID thing. And when I researched it the obvious answer would be a non binary individual. And that was really interesting to me. If someone asks, I say I’m ace. Am I actually...

    (Bristol, SW England) Posting here again. Nobody was able to help me before, and I honestly don't think there's any help for me at all.

    I’m so late to this but if you ever appear back on the forum, I’d want to leave a note for you to read. The CoP is the most flawed part of the system I’ve experienced yet. My IMCA met me once, told me I’m stubborn and never saw me again. My solicitor, although nice enough, never really gets to...

    Does this sound like a psychiatrist who isn’t trauma-informed and is it reasonable to seek someone else?

    This is definitely a possibility. I find that psychiatrists are more medication and diagnosis, and therapists are more “dealing with the trauma/symptoms” when it comes with C-PTSD. Sometimes doing the exact opposite of what your freeze/shutdown wants you to do can be helpful. Light stretching...

    Respect Is Basic, But Effort Keeps Me Engaged

    I’m going to talk about how I would want a relationship-style effort to be for a friend, as it’s not something I think about for myself. I’d want them to put in effort in their own way. E.g romantic-type people would buy flowers, creative people might paint you something, adventurous people...

    What Song Are You Listening To Right Now?

    Love this song Highly Suspect - My Name is Human Placebo - Meds Вороны - Nervy Don’t know why I’m getting into random Ukrainian rock. It’s a vibe though.
