Welcome! I hope you find some of the help you seek here while talking with others who know what it's like to go through times where control is difficult to manage. I do hope that your therapy experience goes a long way and that you are able to put some trust into what others can bring forward...

I'm so sorry that you cut. I know it can be hard to feel like you are resetting your clock with how many days it has been since you cut, is there any way you can look at it differently? You are not garbage.

Oh that's cool. Thanks for the added information!

It might be time to take a step back just so that you have the time to collect your thoughts and figure out how to address this in your friendship. I find that time away from a triggering relationship can give me clarity about how to communicate what I need and want from the relationship, much...

@Freedomfighter I'm curious, what does it look like when a predator enters your life and then pretends to be in a relationship with you? Then pretends they walked out? I'm curious because I don't know if I could recognize that happening to me.

^ My father did that on his honeymoon back in... Well pretty close to that same time... They brought home video of it. It seems kinda cool but also a grotesque manipulation of the life of dolphins.

One of my biggest triggers is abandonment, and in the last two years I have had three partners who I was deeply in love with ghost from my life to never talk to me again. I am going through another one of those times right now and I've been triggered for going on a week now. I can't calm my body...

Rosa, Thank so much for your reply here, I read it just after waking up and it touched me to feel like the advice you're giving me is something I can see and possibly obtain. I have also spent a good amount of time telling myself "I'll deal with that later, now's not the time, I don't have the...

I have felt exactly like you've felt often in the past couple of years. This last week even. :(

I was blocked from posting the link. It was from "what to expect" com and the first result from Google searching "is marijuana smoke bad for pregnancy".

If you aren't exposed to the smoke directly there is no second hand danger to you or your child. This was the first article I read and it seemed to articulate things well: Whatever your personal opinions on marijuana are, your concerns seem to be worse than the risk posed. Long term effects of...

I have been there and am once again in a similar situation of no job, no money, and fear that I am going to be unsuccessful in my career. I wish that life wasn't all about making money to pay bills to people who have millions of monies...

I'm so sorry for your pain today. I would be mindful to understand that the negative intentions you are attributing to HIM are antithetical to the teachings of (Christianity?) and most religions. I find it very sad that you've chosen to harm yourself and carry such a negative perspective about...

Alrighty, it isn't publicly available any longer because I archived it and took it down. I'm not here to self promote in that way. I'm here to positively self educate and grow with others.

My greatest and most utilized coping mechanism. It's expensive... Now I drink soylent most of my meals.

Okay yeah I've seen this one before. Opening scene: why can't I find someone willing to be in love and also willing to discuss things instead of getting upset and running out the door? That's my thought. Also, Matty Mcconaughey dreamboat....

Hey, whaddya know? It's on Netflix. Watching now...

I recently archived and deactivated facebook after a 10 year run and thousands of pieces of content. I am going to work on a webpage that converts what fb gives you when you "archive" your data and turn it into a website you can host yourself and run privately and let who you decide to let see...

Aww schucks, thanks y'all for the welcomes. I have been spending some time in chat and replying to other threads I see pop up. It's been a nice welcoming into the community here and I look forward to finding other ways to be engaged. It's positive for me to think I might finally have a venue for...

Oh geez, that sounds tough. We live in a digital age where photos of yourself can solidify points in time that many people might not want to remember. Having your photos and likeness represented by someone else, positive or negative, is a violation of your rights and an indecent thing to do to...

There appears to be a lot going on with your relationship with your mother. I think, after reading this entire post, what I feel the need to address first is the violation of your boundaries when they came into the bathroom with a mirror and did not ask for consent. As far as I'm concerned...

Oh wow that is so scary you were hit by a car, I can imagine what feelings I could be feeling after sitting with that for a while. I don't run often, though I like to bike commute and I see life threatened by vehicles every day. Whenever I come across a near collision I try to always stop for...

Hello all, I am a man who just turned 30 years old who is diagnosed with PTSD and Major Depressive Disorder. My biggest triggers are abandonment and neglect, with the normal accompaniment of feeling unsafe in many social situations. I've joined this chat amidst the loss of a lover who I have...
