I apologize for coming off harshly, but please understand where I am coming from. I understand the phrase you've taught your daughter, however I am not your daughter. I spent 3 years backing down from confrontation, and taking the abuse from peers at school without igniting it. People found it...

@Pencil, I supppose I worded it incorrectly. I grabbed the stereo so that he could leave, and I could do it myself. I never intended it as an invitation for a physical altercation, so isn't that biased to assume I was looking to fight with him? No, slapping is never "allowed", but neither is...

@Pencil, for your c and b bullets, were you referring to my behavior, or my parents behavior?

Unfortunately, the only people I have are a few friends. I'm thinking of doing that right now, because it's the only option that seems open. I don't have a full-time job, as I am in Uni most times from 8 am until 8 pm, thus leaving it almost impossible to work full-time, or even enough to move...

Hey guys... I just got home from vacation, and on the 18th, me and my parents got into a MASSIVE fight. This is how it happened: I don't like sleeping in the dark and quiet because of my PTSD that's caused by severe bullying (loads of physical assaults, torment, basically assault). Anyways, I...

@Sarah2732, ohhhhh alright. :) It's okay haha, and yes, I'm not returning, I've decided on that. I plan on emailing my psychiatrist and asking to be placed with someone else, and if not, I will be returning to my old trauma therapist, even if I only get 30 minute sessions with her because I...

I've never thought of them in that way... Interesting..

As do I. It's irritating because it's like, well you go through what I went through, and then tell me how you feel. I don't understand how it's a "fair" question to be asked, at all. Nobody would ask this to a rape victim, or a soldier, or an abuse victim, but yet it's acceptable to ask that to...

@Laura 2, that's my fear. I don't need to continually be made to feel bad! That's insane. It's so wrong that we get asked why these things happen to us, and our brain tries to justify these sick people's actions, but it really is just crazy-making. In your own words, "it's just wrong to target...

Good for you!! Today I had a panic attack when there were two ladies in front of me at the outpatient clinic having a heated argument. I stepped away from the situation, did some deep breathing and muscle tensing-relaxation exercises, and came back to it. Still felt nauseated and I was severely...

@Jane.l , trust me, I wanted to deck him. He noticed how angry I was because he was like "you seem very angry about what happened to you" and I was like "I am" and then he said "you seem to be very traumatised by the bullying" and all I could think was - no shit? I have PTSD. I know my GP wrote...

I'm seeing a new therapist (scratch that, he's a social worker) for my PTSD and TRD. Today was my first meeting with him, and we spent most of the session talking about cutting, and I didn't think it was in a healthy way. I understand he's providing information on why people usually do this, but...

Today I can't let go of the fact that a few days ago, my dad coldly made a joke in regards to my appearance. I came out with new makeup on and I said "soo... what do you think?" and he literally said "wow! a miracle worker haha". After explaining and stressing how this affected me with my dad...

I've been away for awhile because I've also been recently diagnosed with MDD (TRD) on top of the PTSD, and I'm now in a clinical study on depression and doing intensive therapy. This is going to be a very general response to all of you @Hashi , @jmni , @Laura 2 I was very triggered the other...

@Hashi - The psychiatrist is separate from my therapist. Actually I'm kind-of in between therapists right now, and only have a social worker acting as a psychologist, and he's nice but I don't like him, nor do I trust him really. I don't really trust any of them, since I only just got a referral...

Before I begin, I have PTSD from severe bullying (physical assaults, harassment, threats, etc). Recently, I am in a study for depression, and last week during my assessment I saw the psychiatrist and talked to him about my parents, and I felt bad about what I haven't said about my parents and my...

I'm on 50mg of Zoloft and I must say, I've been very forgetful in taking them regularly (mostly because I don't find they work at all for me anyways). I forgot about them for a week due to my late night work schedule, and ended up having intense diarrhea and vomiting. I thought it was the flu...

Exactly how I feel.

The worst part about all of this is that I'm almost positive I also have BPD or Bipolar Disorder, and some form of depression (although that probably just comes from the PTSD itself so) and I have no one to talk to this about or no one to tell. @xena21, it's alright, I didn't want what was...

@xena21, thank you. From what I gather though, you seem to be fine with your therapist making such comments. Me on the otherhand, I'm extremely sensitive to comments like these, as I had them throughout the time I was being bullied, and my T knows this. I've made it clear to her, countless...

This title means two things, technically. Background story here and here. In recent days, I didn't have enough money for therapy, so I got a referral to a community health clinic to see their mental health team, and when I told my therapist about it, she laughed (to me it seemed...

My mom says this kind of thing a lot too, although she doesn't say temper tantrum, she calls me hysterical. I don't think it's good of your therapist to call them tantrums - maybe that is just me, but therapists are supposed to support you, not criticize your behavior. I have blown up less...

If you're separated right now, you need to give her as much space as she needs. Pushing her back into a relationship while she's trying to take a break to take care of herself or asking her when you can get back together is probably a big no-no at this point. It is not your fault, but you have...

@Lucycat NSFW stands for Not Safe For Work. Not a trigger warning/label, just that I reblog/post some pictures that may contain nudity or similar things (but people shouldn't be on their phones/social media sites at work anyways). I am the same way. I wouldn't let anyone see it, and mine went...

I am SO glad you've recognized certain attitudes you used. Do not feel like a jerk! It is a common thing for supporters to do, and be confused about. Again, past boyfriends of mine have had very similar reactions at first. I would start by explaining to her that you're confused about PTSD and...
