Hello,
Returning again to this site! I started college and got my first-ever boyfriend when I returned from winter break. Unfortunately, it only lasted about three days as we both had very different ideas of the relationship. He wanted to be very serious very quickly while I wanted to take...
Thank you!
Luckily I don't think this problem will come up a lot in the future, I am starting college at a really high-intensity theater program (ie no breaks) so I won't be returning home often, and this is his last year of college. Our breaks don't line up except for one overlap where I could...
I followed your advice and talked to my mom, and we were going to have me sleep over at another friend's but he isn't coming home! Whoo!!
We discussed what may happen in the future (ie school breaks, etc.) Luckily at those times I should definitely have a place to stay with my sister or more...
I'm 18 and saving up money for college this fall so unfortunately a hotel isn't really financially feasible at this time. My mom does know about the abuse and she originally planned to travel down to where he lives so he wouldn't have to come up. (His car is getting an E-check which for some...
Hello everyone,
My name is Eowyn and a while back I posted introducing myself as a PTSD patient after issues with my school. Since then another memory resurfaced, one in which my brother sexually abused me for at least a year when I was around five or six.
Since then I've been going to therapy...
Hello and welcome!
I am applying to costume design school at the moment, so I understand how stressful the theatre environment can be. On top of CPTSD and your relationship, I am sure it is quite hard.
I hope you find support here!
Hi,
I felt this way when my PTSD was really bad. I would constantly take naps and always feel so tired, even when I would sleep 12+ hours. After my therapy ended, it went away as I was dealing with it a lot better. For me, it just felt like a symptom of the illness. I still have a very odd sleep...
@hodge, my dad supported trump for a while. I completely understand how betrayed you feel. He had the news on constantly and would laugh at Trump's comments, even though I found them disgusting. I hope your aunt turns around like my dad did.
I haven't been on here in a while, but i love everyone's comment about laughing at the devil :) I literally refuse to watch things on trump if it isn't satirical as that's the only way my brain seems to process it!! Seth Meyers is great, I really want him to do a closer look segment on the...
Wow, thank you all for your support! As far as therapy goes, I don't have the money atm to pay for it, but my symptoms have died down a bit, which is good.
Yes, I have been clinically diagnosed with PTSD. I realize my situation is extremely light compared to most people's and I must seem very whiny. I think it affected me in this way because it was non stop verbal harassment for several years at an age where I was still developing. I did not show...
I completely agree with this. Trump's actions, especially today, have extremely triggered me. I suffer PTSD from childhood sexual trauma, so I completely relate to being triggered by these words. Although I have not been to therapy in a while, I wouldn't be surprised if PTSD is getting worse...
Hi,
I am going to call myself Eowyn. After recent events (getting called a slut) my PTSD has come back in full force. So I thought I would join a community as I continue to live with this disorder.
When I was around 12 years old I began experiencing sexual and lewd comments towards me, right as...
