Empty (Remastered 2020) The Cranberries

This thread touches on the topic of dysregulation. Might be suitable for the discussion here. https://www.myptsd.com/threads/the-negative-emotional-games-people-play.104177/

I'm going to push back a bit on the framework @Ecdysis has titled this thread. "Negative emotional games." Ecdysis' example cites adults who seem to be experiencing dysregulation... and when children are subjected to dysregulated adults they not only adapt, but struggle to learn to regulate...

This kind of 'uncontrollably crying meltdown' has happened in the classroom every year of school I can think of, including undergrad and grad school. It has happened at least once at work too. It does bring up emotions like embarrassment for me too. I try to find a place to be alone and let the...

Manipulated, betrayed, suicidal

Cycling.

When an individual or groups of people are intentionally, consciously, manipulating you, you have a right to be angry. In these situations, the fantasy of control isn't that fantastical, is it?

When it comes to people acting like I'm making excuses for needing rest and 'mental health time', I make a point to treat the day as a house-cleaning day. This way, I can tell others that I'm cleaning house and doing chores- which is true! I get a lot of housework done on these days! I also make...

"Winter, spring, summer or fall All you have to do is call"

Singing in the car to release stress energy and (ironically) increase focus.

Going to second this. Been working on the ability to do this for years. Have experienced many successes with the additional pause and many failures too. It's been an up and down process, even when the pause has been learned. Learning that pause is pretty difficult to begin with. And given the...

I used to feel that way when I was on antipsychotics. That medication dulled most of my emotions so much that I rarely had access to them. I find that having full access to my emotions, while at times difficult, is much preferred to having little to no access to them. Ironically, this medication...

I want to say a T or someone with mental health background once told me that something like this can be a result of a parent or caregiver being aggressive or an otherwise overstepping/dominating force in a person's childhood. Something to do with parents basically 'being like a god' and having a...

Fear, uncertainty, like I'm being surveilled.

Wow, I really did read this situation wrong. My perception of the passive-aggression and group attacks on Riverdog were fueled my intrusive trauma thoughts and emotions. @Dark.Green.Feathers and whoever else I might have implied and accused of passively-attacking Riverdog, I am sorry. I see now...

“Some people are just born with tragedy in their blood.” - Gretchen Ross.

Sharing opinions and personal experiences is one thing, but ultimately it is up to you to decide. Bad advice can come from community and medical professionals alike. The same goes for good advice. I don’t know anything about this drug, just lots of mixed experiences with medications...

Thank you for informing me about the 'report' feature. I was completely unaware of how these processes go and what they look like. Now that I know, I can use this information going forward in the future.

Yes, this is my read on the situation. A read that no one else seems to have, so I have chosen to speak up and share what I see. I am especially motivated to speak up when what I see is a glaring inequality and injustice.

This is where the inner child work could be helpful. If it is too difficult to ‘drum up’ the anger about abuses endured as a teen, young adult, adult, etc, having the image or scene of a past or child version of yourself enduring abuse might aid in allowing you to access that anger. Child you...

We are not reading the situation the same. If I were Riverdog- joining a new community and I were hit with multiple passive-aggressive replies from multiple community members by a simple icebreaker introduction? I probably would not have returned, with or without a ban. Full stop. Thats a...
