i can definitely relate, ur not alone<3 one thing that my therapist has been teaching me is that i dont have to have compassion for everyone at all times. im probably too empathic a lot of the time and always empathise with the fact that a persons abusive behaviour usually stems from...

omg i feel u, i hav such empathy for ur situation. im so glad ur T picked up that something was missing, i really hope it feels easier to get into it tomorrow and that u get the affirmation and support that u need<3 im proud of u for opening up about such hard things. like its really so hard...

wow truly that must hav been so so confronting for you and such a huge lesson, sending compassion and empathy <3 dont get me wrong i dont hold judgement with all this, maybe i should have been more clear about that. i was intending to throw out ideas to consider. i hope this thread has been...

i have very similar sleep patterns and empathise with the exhaustion and moodiness a lot. i dont remember my dreams much but am usually aware that there were dreams. i feel like maybe it could be that its like a battle of the conscious/unconscious. the unconscious is using dreams to bring our...

for sure the crate can be a safe space. imo if its for more than a few hours it seems a bit much

i feel like that if a human was kept in these conditions it would be considered abuse so im confused as to why it should be any different for non human creatures

i think it is useful to think whether we would like to be in a cage with no stimulation and v limited movement for 12 hours a day

i use self harm in multiple ways and think a lot abt where it is exactly that ppls negative reactions come from. i feel like sometimes it comes from care and that people genuinely hav concern for our well being. but also yeh, like we are doing it for a reason, there is something abt it that is...

ugh im so so sorry u experience pms like this, its awful. i can really relate ): i usually have a week or less after bleeding before extreme pms starts and lasts weeks , its the worst when my cycle is late ugh. i experience gender dysphoria so i just completely spiral w this shit all mixed...

mental heath "care" in australia fails us ): this is so real

yes this is such a difficult topic/part of healing, i feel u so much<3 i think ur so right here- we cant find value until we find acceptance. i feel like starting to find value is a natural byproduct of acceptance and unconditional presence with ourselves? because thru acceptance we r finding...

this. seriously such an intensely important and difficult part of abuse recovery. its def a process hey. ahh its so rough especially when u look back and recognise that u intuitively felt the red flag but denial kicked in and kept those rose coloured glasses on anyway ...

i smoked weed daily for 10 years to cope with ...everything. earlier this year i accidentally smashed my bong and had a huge meltdown, but as soon as that was over i had this very strong intuitive sense that i could stop smoking if i wanted to. i never saw myself stopping before that. i went...

im so sorry you are going thru this painful experience. i really want to affirm you that there is nothing wrong with you<3 the trauma u went thru is hard enough let alone this on top, it must feel so so awful. you got completely taken advantage of in multiple ways by someone who you loved, that...

oh im so glad u resonated with what i was offering, that really means a lot. ahh u said exactly that word is what i was missing before, REACTIVE. thats what it is. iv always been such a reactive person , i feel like my relationship has really held up mirrors and shown me that and given me a lot...

my parter has ptsd and i have bpd which presents ptsd-like a lot of the time and developed from trauma. we have had a few pretty tumultuous years and it is def not always easy but now we intentionally work really really hard together. i have been with other people with ptsd before and it was...

we need teachers like you<3333333333

maybe im wrong but i think maybe you're talking about people who dont know your experience/diagnosis calling u manic or schizophrenic in a sort of derogatory sense, not talking abt the actual symptoms/illness, more saying ur behaviour is 'weird' or something? do u experience mania or...

????? its not so black and white? what because one time someone apologises for hurting someone that makes them golden and perfect? i feel like i was thinking critically abt the situation?

ahh im so glad he heard u! i really dont think u overreacted, ur feelings r so valid even if u cant fully explain , u know? thats so great that u opened up communication like that in such a clear and direct way, stating ur feelings and needs is such a vulnerable and strong (and really hard)...

of course women are capable! i never meant to come across that way. im not putting women or men down in any way, i believe in empowering women and oppressed people(including men) in all circumstances because of the society we live in. im talking about structural / institutionalised beliefs that...

its just that if you look at it in a structural way misandry has very different purpose and consequences than misogyny. misogyny is chronic in our society and misandry is usually something that happens as a response to misogyny out of self preservation and is less harmful although the fact that...

im completely uninformed about it other than what i have read here, but i think this is an important project for sure. especially because she is a woman of colour and she has also copped a whole lot of public abuse. i dont know anything really about her personal life. but interactive art like...

strong words? hardly. women and people who arent men still hold internalised misogynistic values. if we live in a patriarchy, we are conditioned to devalue women. if someone doesnt mind being called a certain word and doesnt want to reflect on why it is that it doesnt bother them then thats...

for me, in theory home should be the most safe sacred nourishing place. i dont know if i have experienced that yet in a physical sense. a lot of my trauma is 'home' based and living in chaotic share houses for the past ten years has definitely been re-traumatising. being able to choose who comes...
