I have these flashbacks when someone of the similar stature or build as my ex towers over me. It's really scary to me because he used to pressure me and yell and he was twice my size at 6'1". I was seeing him around age 17, and he was 21. I don't get so triggered by food but when men speak over...

:)Hi Durban, Thank you for serving the country, I am here for support and actually have a fiance in the Navy. I want to let you know you're not crazy or mental. You have done such a selfless thing to better your future because you care about your life and family. You're a good father who needs...

Some sayings seem hurtful because they are coming from people whom we care deeply about. If they hadn't meant that much to us its easy to brush off, but because people fear what they don't understand, they may compare experiences to other experiences they heard about because it is not familiar...

Hey, I was in the same boat. Your boyfriend (bf) seems very sweet, he is a hardworker and I can understand cause my current bf is in the Navy. In the past I suffered abuse in the past from a exbf who wanted to make me dependent on him for money, resources, and sex. He controlled my views...

Try out a new hobby and treat yourself to something relaxing. :)

@scout86 I'm really amused by your answer, Lol. I've perhaps done the same thing and vented about it before, even though I'm such a softie at heart. My friends know I'm very gentle, but because of PTSD, my personality started showing a different side to me, so I used to get my anger out in...

Thanks for the input guys, I really appreciate it. I'm not seeing my therapist at the moment. I left my therapist because he was too complacent and didn't give me enough coping techniques to calm me in cases that spiraled. My tight schedule between school and work requires me to stay up late...

I started this semester taking a physics class with a lab partner who also majors in architecture taking it with me. Initially we are both quiet and very friendly. We would stay late till night classes and I would offer him a ride to the subway. Recently he's revealed to me his views on women...

It changed my life after I saw it, my bf and therapist already started seeing progress. I hope you will find the same inspiration and pass the word because its something I've seen people use to achieve successes and their goals.

Hi Sea, I understand how frustrating it can be to make sense of why people do the things they do and in fact it is not in our power to change the decisions of others as much as it hurts to see that they go completely 180 degrees on us. I've had many friends come and go, even family threaten to...

Since few weeks ago I made a post about being taken advantage of when I was drunk and I'm going to see my therapist tomorrow at the trauma center. I had recieved a gift from the boy who did this to me which was a book called The Secret. I found it really fascinating because within the past few...

You remind me a bit of myself Phoenix, I can totally relate. :)

I love the art and the graphic t's, you got me in a shopping mood, lol!

I get like this when I feel I am with the wrong person. I think of it as fear being a danger sensor that keeps us from harm's way. It can be pretty intense and mine comes out when I drink too. But with my man, who I feel very much in love with it tends to go away. I feel at peace. I hope...

Whenever a person in class raises their hand to speak, I get scared. Its from all the domestic violence and abuse, sometimes they will brush past me and it scares me too, when people speak over me it reminds me of being manipulated into believing something completely false or negative about...

I experienced dissociation because of sexual abuse and trauma that I've recently been going through. What tends to help my mind spring back is to do more exercise like cardio, this keeps our blood pumping and releases dopamine in the brain that helps us feel happy. In the past I experienced...

Bluebeam everybody's experiences are very unique to their own. Some people need more time than others and you need to be patient with yourself. I know because i suffer from this thought too and sometimes it gets the best of us. Take up some hobbies, sports, and treat yourself to a nice meal...

So tragic. Are there any other family members whom you can trust to help you? Try and stay strong to find other solutions. I know that you are hurt, but you also have to understand the woman you loved is not the same anymore. She's an alcoholic who abandoned the people who loved her the...

I'm having problems sleeping. Thanks everyone, I scheduled a doctor's appointment for tomorrow and also getting a therapist soon. He's going to a different school next semester studying architecture so I won't see him ever again. Its finals week and he even missed class today. As of recently he...

5 days ago, I was drinking with my friend who I met from school. I been going out for few weeks to workout with him at 24 hour fitness and I went over to his house and had just 3-4 cups of vodka and we both drank on empty stomach. It was only around 6:40, We were playing cards and I got really...

I have several fears that are: Public Speaking, People getting too close to me, Being manipulated/betrayed, Abandonment, Typical guys, Heartbreak, Sexually violent behavior, Violence from anger because my adrenaline and heart starts racing, People raising their hand and raising their voice very...

I do it mildly in social situations too. I am pretty shy, so people think it's a part of my personality. Its comes out when I have presentations sometimes, or even just chatting with people I barely know. I used to be a social outcast and also went through abuse, so I would imagine its probably...

Hey I know how you feel Ajay, I developed anxiety from Domestic violence and relationship abuse. And I too, once had a lot of friends and was really social, but after that I became really different. Hope it feels better to know you're not alone.

I feel different, unique, curious about how things are going to turn out, a bit hopeful, anxious, worried about my next presentation, disassociated from what the media tells me or even popular society, doubtful, sadness about the past I can't erase. Tortured romantic, abused, and...
