I wonder if I have sexual trauma because my mom might have suggested I was SA’d. She brought up how Satanic Ritual Abuse is a thing when I was 5 and I don’t know if she mentioned sexual abuse to me or not as it was so long ago. A lot of supposed SA is included in that. Last time I regressed was...

Probably for the best honestly. It’s sad how we can’t fully connect with each other, but evil people will always go out of their way to make fun of or fetishize trauma survivors. I did manage to join a Discord group for adult CSA survivors through there though and it’s very well run.

About a year ago, I posted on a subreddit for CSA survivors. I stated how I would age regress into a terrified little child when opening up sexually to someone and how I developed PTSD at the age of 3 or 4. I do not have a memory of anything because I was possibly too young to form a memory in...

I think I’m just subconsciously afraid of going back to that scared little girl again. It was really terrifying. I tried purging before but it never stuck with me. The feeling of nausea that you get the next day is a bit much for me. As a child, I would get that sickness a lot so the feeling...

I would have to look at the date of the publication. I’ll let you know once I look into the book again.

I now weigh about 240 lbs and I’m only 5’7”. I feel like ever since I’ve been re-traumatized, I went from barely eating anything to gorging myself on food in order to emotionally numb myself out. I have severe issues with eating now. The overeating started when I was 19 and I’m 30 now. This has...

Sorry, I meant it’s rare for children to be diagnosed with it. I had it since I was 3 or 4 so basically my whole life, but it went undetected and I was misdiagnosed with ADD at the time for being “lost in the clouds” as if that wasn’t a good clue. It wasn’t until I was 28 that I received the...

Well when I was triggered one time and had a 10 cm cyst on my fallopian tube, I fell into a deep meditation by focusing solely on my breathing to try and calm me down from my pain and anxiety. Instead it backfired on me because I started having bodily flashbacks and emotional flashbacks. It got...

DPDR

That’s why I’m wondering if EMDR will work for me because I have C-PTSD and a rare dissociative disorder. I have tried EMI, which has faster results and is more gentle on the brain. However the therapist I was seeing told me I wasn’t ready because I kept finding ways to sabotage things. I...

I’ve read the DSM 5 and books on trauma, and they mention Hypnotherapy as a modality. I was wondering this because I’ve read EMDR can be very disorienting. I want to know if this has been disorienting for people as well.

I’m thinking of taking this type of therapy if nothing else works. I’ve read that it helps with blockages and with dissociation. I think my main concern is that of getting false memories. My goal isn’t to retrieve memories but to heal from whatever trauma I have buried inside. I’ve had PTSD...

I apologize if this is the wrong place to post this, but I was wondering about people’s successes with 12-Step Meetings. I’m currently in ACA (Adult Children of Alcoholics/Dysfunctional Families) and am looking into OA (Overeaters Anonymous) for binge eating. For those of you who have attended...

Being spanked was the least traumatic thing that happened to me.

I’m still in minimal contact with them because I don’t want to be homeless. A lot of women go missing in my city and I don’t want to be a statistic.

I blocked her on everything. The only way she can get through to me is through my evil parents, who I still have to keep in touch with. I’m sick and tired of her mentioning how I’m her first grandchild and of how she was excited to see me as a baby as if that’s gonna sway me. Until she...

This was my father’s reaction to me after my mother told me she “knows for a fact” that I didn’t go through anything traumatic. My father proceeded to call me and this was how the texts went. <modedit> Screenshots removed. Before this, I told my father that I showed signs of someone who may...

Message I received from my grandmother, after she was confronted by my great aunt, for telling me she doesn’t believe me about my trauma.. <modedit> Screenshots removed.

I am currently low contact with family members and I am unable to cut them off due to personal reasons. I use the grey rock method on them and never respond to their tactics at lovebombing. I haven’t told them I love them in years. I just want to know if it is possible because part of me feels...

This is all a normal part of trauma. Though I think the word you’re looking for is hyposexuality, which is the opposite of hypersexuality. Asexuality as an orientation doesn’t automatically mean a lack of interest in sexual pleasure. Regardless, anyone is welcome in the asexual community if...

For years I’ve been dealing with chronic pain throughout my pelvis and the left side of my body. Two years after I started menses, my period stopped and then suddenly I was in unbearable pain and had painful periods ever since. I live with chronic pain all the time and it gets worse during my...

I think my main issue is sticking to it honestly.

Btw how do I add a tag in the Other Disorders section? I’ve been trying to list it under ED.

I just eat to numb my feelings and I’m subconsciously afraid of feeling hungry so I’ll do nothing but eat. For me this isn’t about weight, but more so about controlling unimaginable emotions that I’ve buried deep inside. Last time I allowed myself to be one and still with my body, the...

Yes, I was diagnosed with DPDR (Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder) when I was hospitalized. I was at a psych ward and the psychiatrist DXed me with that along with PTSD. It wasn’t until I was hospitalized that I finally got the diagnosis I needed. A few years before that, I had a...
