    Every Time I Start To Trust My S/o...

    Sorry, I would run the other direction. He's putting mental abuse on you which is just as bad if not worse than physical abuse. If he's cruel to you, I wouldn't accept that. I would leave. Some people would think that I give up to easily you need to let him be. There's no excuse. And yes, I do...

    38 Year Old Supervisor Dating 18 Year Employee

    My step sister was 17 when she was impregnated by a 35 year old guy from work. They eventually married, had another kid, got divorced and then he was molesting his daughter. If she's needy and is craving a "daddy figure" there's an issue and I would bring it up with HR IMMEDIATELY. This is not...

    Just Moved & Fighting A Lot...

    This is a time to journal your journey. Write down your priorities, what are your emotions, what do you need to do that day and blah blah blah. I did the same thing when I met my husband and moved to Nebraska. I can understand, in a way, what's going on...

    Do You Let People Take Advantage Of You?

    Do I let people take advantage of me? No. I guess I stopped putting up with that BS a long time ago. When you're an empath, you can read people. You know whether they are lying or not....

    5 Things I'm Thinking Today

    1. I have pneumonia. Oh goodie. :grumpy: 2. Homework is piling up by the truckloads while I'm too dizzy to sit and concentrate. 3. I completely broke down at my therapist's last week. I still feel empty. 4. I'm hopefully going to get a gastric bypass revision. Prayers!:) 5. Going in for another...

    Husband Insists I Am Responsible For Triggering Him

    I really loathe the "comeback break up" BS people bring onto other's relieving them of their own pain. If he has CPTSD, he shouldn't take everything out on you. You're trying to get healthy and, from what I'm understanding, he is not. You continue to make yourself better and create a wall...

    How Do You Word It To Your Employer

    One thing I've learned from employment, you do NOT disclose anything except to your doctor or therapist. The reason? Too much negative backlash and, if you live in an at-will state, they can fire you for no reason but USE that reason to get rid of you. They'll think you're a nut...blah blah...

    Blaming

    I don't blame myself. It's not useful to blame their issues on me because I don't live with them, sleep with them, or go to the toilet with them. Now if someone started taking stuff out on me because of their lives, that's a whole different story. Depending on the situation, their day can go...

    Has Anyone Taken Lamictal ?

    I take Lamogtrigine (Lamictil) and I haven't had any issues about it. But then again, I'm not your average bear....

    Criticism - is it them or you?

    Without reading everyone's juicy posts, I'm just going by the question. Criticism, depending what it is, is, to me, always negative. I've lived a life of nothing but criticism (negative) and I call critical people quite a colorful name. Criticism, to me, has an underlying negativity no matter...

    How Often Do You Fly Off The Handle?

    Lord, you don't want to count the times I've either "lost it", got "pissed off", called people four letter words and told people to go **** themselves. I've come to the conclusion that common sense isn't so common.

    Psychology Class Trigger

    I never thought I'd say this but my Psychology class is triggering me horrendously. I'm supposed to take it for my core classes to graduate but this is ridiculous. I'm already crying and getting upset at some of the responses in a discussion forum. Apparently everyone suffers from Parkinson's...

    News Movie: Split

    I've met a woman with split personalities. One of the personalities made her burn herself. I asked her if I were talking to "Tricia" and she said no. I was talking to Margaret-one of her personalities. It was unusual (the girl's name was Tricia). We became friends even after the hospital stay...

    Sufferer Can Anyone Help Me Understand What I'm Even Trying To Say Below?

    My God, the horror. Honey, if you need to talk, I'm here. Don't you EVER think you're alone or that no one understands you. We do and we're reaching out to you to say, "you're not alone". I take Prazosin-two pills a night because my nightmares started coming back full force. If you take four...

    Heart ❤️ Won't Stop Beating So Fast After Talking W T

    You're facing your fears like you're seeing them played out in front of you. You have no explanation of how to explain what you feel and what you're seeing. I'm not going to say I've been there however I have had an issue talking about "things" with my T and my P (TP???? Sorry). When memories...

    I Think My Psychologist Dumped Me

    This guy needs to be reported to the APA. This is a load of crap that he just "dumped" you off to save his own ass. He gets paid by the hour for therapy and he has the balls to drop (pardon the pun) you as a patient in need of help? Who does he think he is? Call the APA. This is wrong and he...

    Death When You Stop Caring About The Death Of A Loved One

    I apologize if my topic didn't make any sense. The people I'm not talking to are the people who hurt me. They were never there for me in my life and never there when I needed them. I suffered their abuse all of my life and I just don't care. The best way to describe how I feel is ...if I got a...

    Death When You Stop Caring About The Death Of A Loved One

    As you know, I deleted my family from the Rolodex of life and because they were a bad virus. I walked away and decided to do away from the sickness, narcissism, anyway, you all know my story. Today, I realized that if any of my family members died, I wouldn't care. I thought about it and didn't...

    Family :(

    I felt as if I were hearing myself. My family is very similar to yours and won't take the blame for any of the harm they have caused me. What I had to do is to defect from them and get rid of them. They're mouths were dirty without cussing-I wanted to use mental clorox on them but it wouldn't...

    On The College Dean's List For The Third Time

    Thank you all. I've had some issues with a couple of my teachers but they didn't let me get in the way of my education. I don't know if I'm going to a four year college yet because there isn't a program for political science. The 4 year here doesn't offer it. I want people to believe in...

    Dom Violence Abusive Ex Husband Wants To Have Contact With My Family

    To be honest with you, he's already provoked enough to pose an immediate danger to her. These kind of people will NOT stop until the person is dead. You damn straight someone should everything in their power to protect themselves as pieces of paper aren't going to protect you from a bullet, a...

    On The College Dean's List For The Third Time

    I want to graduate from college in the Criminal Justice field/Homeland Security. I want to succeed. Since starting over back in school, I'm almost done with the Criminal Justice/Homeland security curriculum and will be the first in this college to graduate with this curriculum, thus earning me a...

    Accommodation Ideas For College?

    I have just the "regular" accommodations because of PTSD and think they're okay. However, there is something that lets you "erase" those semesters that you dropped out of on your transcript but I forgot what it was called. It's like starting over without "starting over." Academic forgiveness, I...

    Why Are We Being Judged?

    Oh I know, Sara! It's harder than hard to put up with people's mouths and actions. Eventually the perpetual fog clears in seeing troublemakers' actions that you finally do something about it. There are so many people who can't fight back. I wish I could fight for them, you know? *HUGS*
