You sound like a good friend of mine. He helped me all he could. Until he couldnt anymore. I was very codependent on him. He saved my life many times. But it is my responsiblity to save myself. I have a toxic family as well. I think the days where he spent the day with me were the most helpful...

Ive already been to a shelter. My fibro was too painful to keep walking up the steps and into the top bunk. I actually got triggered more by the women who did drugs and such in there...dunno why.

So I am moved in with my abusive parents...have been for like 7 months. My paranoia is really bad. I'll take a shower and hear a thud and think my "father" is killing my mother...he has said he would anyway...very gory details...I'll picture how he would kill her it scares me so bad because my...

I am so glad your doing a bit better. I was worried and i dont even know ya. Writing has saved me from horrible horrible nights. I'll be laying in bed, going over and over my triggers, the memories. I feel paralyzed. Most times I work up the courage to roll out of bed and grab paper and a pen. I...

I just stated how much it is going downhill. If i couldve got out...i would have.

Customers at work trigger me. They get irratated and then I get upset. I didnt used to be so senstive to it. How do i block it out ? And no, I cannot financially find another counselar in my area. I have tried. Their financial assitance in the area is limited. I tried a different...

Okay..so all my friends have recently been turning their backs. Due to their own problems. Understandable But now I have NOONE to vent to. I write a lot. That helps me survive. I live with my past abuser and my mother. I am incredibly lonely. I DONT trust counselors because I was admitted into a...

Find an alternative. A red washable marker or a harsh slap of a rubber band will give you that same "Quick Satisfaction" without you having to hide anything. Distraction is the best advice though. Video games help me with not self harming.

I am having an extremely difficult time lately. Disassociation, triggers, insomnia, nightmares, you name it !! So I'm looking for simple advice. So I can make it through the bad days. Thanks !

@Jan 31 , DONT DO IT. THEY ARE NOT WORTH IT. YOU CAN DO THIS !! You already showed amazing strength by getting on here and sharing your story. Reading it comforted me. I feel the same way SO OFTEN. I am triggered by SO MANY things...it's like I am slowly cracking. So I found some glue. My "glue"...

So I live with my abusers. My mother and father. My anger at them gets so intense at times and I cannot stop rehashing what they did to me in the house that I live in now. I cannot afford to move out and have RA so options are limited. How do you deal with excessive overthinking and anger...I...

I have recently started a book that details how one regains the feeling of comfort. One chapter that stood out is self nuturing. I personally have a box of stickers, coloring books, crayons, etc, that I keep in y room and when I open the box i allow myself to go into non-adult mode. I use...

Well...not so good. I posted another post with what happenes today. A lot of drama and my strength feels knocked down again.

Because he has been harrassing me with texts and I've been continuously rejecting him. PTSD is very irrational and tends to play it extra safe rather than sorry...which is what the police said. If you let little bad things keep happening, the cutting, the non stop texts, the barging in, it...

So I came home from work tonight to find my television gone. It took me a while to notice. I still live with my parents so I ran and asked my mother what happened to it. She said she had let my ex inside the house to get it because he had said he was "getting what was his." Mind you, it was...

I, myself, withdraw a lot after I have opened up because I feel raw and crappy...the more that person knows my secrets, the more I push them away. I dont know why I do this, I just feel threatened a bit after someone knows my "secrets." I've had people use them against me in my past so he may a...

I am approved by a vocational center but they cannot help with housing. I changed my work schedule so I be at the house more when he is not here. I do need to read that book...sounds amazing. That post was written very well. I went to two homeless shelters to avoid coming back here. It was my...

The support is amazingly overwhelming. Thank you all for your support and caring advice. You all helped save a life...just saying.

I got triggered. Feeling very very sad and alone. Just went through a breakup with my best friend. Therapists freak me out because I've been to a 72 hour lockdown so I never tell anyone how I really feel. I live at home with my parents...the sources of my ptsd. I was physically and emotionally...
