Hey all.
I’ve been having a bit of a problem. I’m a cat person, and I would really profit from having one right now, but unfortunately I live in a small room (about sixteen square meter), and having one here seems cruel.
However I think it would still really help to have a pet. Preferrably an...
(Spoilers, don’t read if you haven’t watched the show but want to)
Another die hard fan here. I think he developed trauma after El Paso.
It’s not everyday you see people die in a gruesome way like that. And after, in the elevator, I think he was showing some serious signs of...
Thank you Tibergrace, that helps a lot..! :hug:
My problem is, in part, that I’m headstrong and usually my first instinct is to face the anxiety head-on and just “power” through it - even if years of anxiety have thought me that this is stupid, I can’t beat anxiety by being tough. When I’m like...
I experimented with micro-dosing last year.
Micro-dosing is done with such small amount that the drug has no psychedelic effect. Even this requires a bit of investigation - a low dose still had traces of psychedelic function. Once that dose is right, you take that dose about once per one week...
Hey people,
I was hoping someone who has experience with diazepam can help me out.
Diazepam helps me with panic attacks and not to self-harm. Depending on the severity of my panic I take a bit less or a bit more. Considering dependency/addiction I’m careful with how much I dose.
Sometimes...
I feel a bit messed up, so did not read everything but I´m glad you got it out of your system :)
I just wanted to say, as soon as your friends are "friends" (written like that), they are not. Real friends are true and blue, they are hard to find, but I am sure that everybody eventually finds...
Hey Kevin.
Finding a therapist that really knows their stuff can take some time. Keep your head afloat, look around, there are some. When you find a really good one you´ll be glad. I think complex trauma really takes longer than a year to get over.
Eventually you find ways to manage it. But...
Hey.
(Unfortunately) lots of members here have CPTSD with the symptoms you describe or a mix of them.
You´re not alone, for people around PTSD can be hard to understand. Sometimes I feel as though people have an even harder time understanding complex trauma.
I hope you get to take some steps...
I don´t know if it qualifies as my abuser.
But this piece of (...) is an abuser all-right. F*ck, what a piece of work. I´d like to shove something in his eye socket.
He (the owner of this house) and his two sidekicks, sideshow general manager and sideshow scarecrow, have been bullying me...
I read "The Circle" by Dave Eggers.
My cousin gave it to me three years ago, finally got around to it.
It was a good read - in the sense that I was able to read through it - but I didn´t like the style much. It´s about a world where a Facebook-like company starts gaining a monopoly over...
The legacy of PTSD - for me - is that I like to go by anonymously.
This means I don´t interact with people in the street - only shopkeepers - usually am not interested in sustaining eye contact, and am usually wearing either a hoodie, a baseball cap, and in winter a scarf over half my face, or...
1. Know a little bit of yoga
2. Have a goat
3. Goat + Yoga = Goat Yoga
4. Charge $50 per session
5. Profit
Apologies for the cynicism :roflmao:
But I mean c´mon... a 1,200 person waiting list?
...goats are everywhere... no need to wait in line
- tiny grey shadows with paws are scurrying around my bed...
- shouldn´t have eaten that candybar before, now they´re onto me
- why the f@ck does it smell like wet dog in this house
- thank God I´m leaving
- they´re still there, aren´t they...
Take care of yourself flowerapple.
I´m glad you reached out and glad to see the concerned answers.
I think the others are right; you´re still young and you can get your mind out of the mess, but not by re-living it with unsafe people who have dishonest intentions.
Be safe and don´t let guys...
I learned that you should not mingle with assholes, even if you think you can ignore them or reason with them. Just don’t.
I learned that actions have consequences not just for you but for everybody else involved, who will face 2nd hand consequences from the action. To think better about taking...
