If u have trauma.. its probably exactly that... and its ypur way of soothing yourself.. or your inber child if you will. Not the same as DID though.. thank your lucky...

    General Does Emdr Work?? Side Affects Are Super Strong....

    ELSE is an amazing therapy. It works. It's hard work. You have to work with it. Not a miracle cure. IF you are suicidal, you need to put yourself into the hospital for treatment first. ELSE can bring up more stuff as it clears out other stuff especially if you have chronic abuse or severe...

    Are You Still Disgusted By The Idea Of Sex???

    I certainly am... many know my story.. ritualistic abuse, trafficking, DV.. If it could happen, it probably did. As a result, I have helpers who developed to assist me to cope so I could function as I disassociated through it all. It started at 3. Sec repulses me. It eventually will make the...

    What to do with anger

    Journaling, drawing, painting, you don't have to be good, just enjoy it for what it is... a release. Exercise, I agree.. learn something you have wanted to learn... Just for you.. is there some activity you always wanted to learn? A language, a sport? Anything? Do It! Use that energy for that...

    Decades Of Abuse Remembered

    Today is a bad day. My one and only support system at work is leaving. I'll be fighting hard professional battles alone. (As if my job was not hard enough..) it feels like once things get a little ok somewhere in my world, someone, some being says, nope... not gonna happen. Not for you. When...

    Decades Of Abuse Remembered

    Today was a bad day. I am more sensitive to smell when things are going bad for me emotionally, so I can't seem to get my house, in particular my room to smell ok. It just has an odor to it, at least to me. I can't make it go away. I was cleaning the house, and I heard screaming and yelling...

    Decades Of Abuse Remembered

    Well, it's been a really hard weekend and now beginning of the week... more memories of abuse... worse than these horrible, evil memories, two, yes, two of my "helpers", left us. It was time I suppose. They served their purpose. They can return if I need them and that has been made clear, but...

    Relationship Help Me Please I Need Advice

    First and foremost, there are some red flag words that you are using here.. and maybe it's just wording... "you love him more than yourself". True? Or, are you making a point? You have to love you most, no matter what. 2. He calls you and you leave other relationships for him? How many times is...

    Decades Of Abuse Remembered

    Today I wonder why there is a reason that abuse begins for people at 3 yrs old. Why that's allowed to happen. What is the force is in the world that allows things like that to happen. When a person actually gets to heal from that, how long does that take? Tonight it feels hopeless, and just sad.

    Anyone Here That Can Comment On Anger Management?

    Soooo, anger is usually fear .. fear of loss of control or no control... I understand abuse, childhood, adult, ritual, domestic violence, and the PTSD diagnosis not because of my job, (only), but because I suffered through decades of it and as a result have DID. Just figured that out this year...

    Personal Trauma Diary - Incest Abuse By Brother

    Toriplays, yes ... confusing, frustrating, anger provoking.. she did horrible things to me, for decades. Enough that I have DID, and am now just remembering through EMDR and brain spotting. If she didn't directly do them she allowed them or brought me to them. So, it's so conflicting. I want to...

    Personal Trauma Diary - Incest Abuse By Brother

    Thank you Toriplays . I am still conflicted towards my feelings towards her. She was sick. At times she tried to save me from abuse, at times she was the abuser. She to was a victim as a child. We suffered together I suppose, but she did some horrible things to me as well. More than I have...

    Anyone Here That Can Comment On Anger Management?

    This is something I do for a living so... either 1. You need something more intensive than anger management, or 2. If there are underlying issues, those need to be resolved. If you already have control, anger MANAGEMENT is NOT appropriate. Anger management is for someone who lacks impulse...

    Personal Trauma Diary - Incest Abuse By Brother

    It's so hard wanting a person to not have done what they did... sometimes as we heal we see why they were so distorted that they did it, or find that they were just sick. Either way, you have to grieve for loss of your brother, the one you had prior to, and loss of you prior to.. it sucks. You...

    Dissociation- Are You Still Aware?

    For me, it depends upon the level of what is going on. During EMDR, yes aware. A trauma happening, no.
