My girlfriend often gets very terrible nightmares and tells me that it only happens when she is with me. She says that she wants to be around me but whenever she is, she gets really bad nightmares. I feel so terrible, I feel REALLY bad. I want her to feel better and I don't want her to have...

I am very familiar with this behaviour, and very specifically. Want to guess why? Потому что я из России, and I know how terrible it can get there. To me, I always think the same, when I think back to my experiences, that it is sad that their only happiness is found in self-destructiveness...

Your response, and, well, your case, is actually almost precisely the same as my girlfriend's, and that actually brings me to want to ask you many questions regarding what I have experienced, so I will private message you.

I see. That makes sense. I will admit that I know it is not my fault. My case is similar to yours, well, actually, very close at least. I used a very innocent word which in no one's mind means anything bad, and it triggered her. I know what to do now. But now my question is, when someone's...

I agree partially; yet at the same time I feel that the more I believe it is my fault, the better I will be able to avoid it in the future. Now, though, I need to know what to do to help her. I have showed her I understand; that I am here for her; but she is completely avoidant and does not...

I accidentally triggered her PTSD. Every single time that I do so, I am completely unaware beforehand. I am one-hundred percent unaware that such innocent words could cause her to become triggered. It scares me so much, and I finally realized everything that I could say that could trigger her...
