Hi. I have cptsd, or developmental trauma, ace score 7. I take medication. I go to the doctor. I never used to drink alcohol. But even now, in the last period, I have been alone and secretly in some pubs, actually twice. I drank some hard liquor (72%). Nothing special is happening in my life...

Thank you for all the answers. It's very helpful. It's really great to have you near at least this way. Did anyone tried meditation ? I'm a little interested in it now. I have read recently that meditation or yoga can be helpful. It requires daily practice for at least a few minutes.

I do not know where to ask so i ask here. I want to ask people who suffer from c-ptsd, or ptsd, or childhood trauma if they have a memory problems, difficulty learning new tasks, attention problems, trouble with concentration and focus (for example in a new job). I mean I'm not retardet and I...

I have complex ptsd or whatever it is. Just some severe trauma. So basically what I've been through was like war between walls with my alcoholic father. Sometimes it reminded hostage situation. Anyway, whenever it could turn into a murder. Btw very surreal. Life can be very strange. You can hear...

Not everyone is bad. It is true. But as you surely know it's not only about other people. If you want to be with people instead of being loner you have to change your thinking patterns. Emotions of traumatized people became too large, extreme. Traumatized people keep getting stuck with e.g. what...

At mornings I had a very funny day at work, I can tell you :dead: :D So I don't slept very well tonight because of anxiety, depression, and other things (complex ptsd, childhood trauma symptoms, things like that). Suddenly I got an idea in the morning, before work. I dont drink coffee at all. I...

I think maybe one of the symptoms is that during the last few years I have a period during which I do not care for sex at all. As if intimacy were disgusting. Or when someone offers you food and you are not hungry at all. Or I don't know. Something like that. Do you know that?

Yes. I am confuse. As I wrote, I almost never talked about it with anyone. With only two people during my life but only a little. And they were like they don't want to hear about it. I basically did not discuss it with anyone so I am wondering if this could have some impact on me. I mean among...

ok. whatever. if administrator or soembody can delete this thread It would be fine. thanks

I'm really sorry but I don't know where to put this thread. But what I want to ask you It's related to sexuality. But let me be clear from beginning. I was not sexually abused. But still... I have complex ptsd, and also ACOA symptoms (domestic violence during childhood, alcoholic father, and so...

I am sorry but I don't want to create a new thread about dissotiation because you can find them a lot here. I have also question. I can't answer in this thread because I actually still don't know what exactly dissotiation is. I'm not sure what the hell I have. Maladaptive daydreaming ? Escapism...

I do something like this but for another reason. For me it's like escape. I have complex ptsd. People like me lived in domestic violence, it has become normal for us. This is the world in which I learned to live and exist. So the outside world is strange to me. I have to learn. Is slow process...

I did not want to question someone's faith. If faith in God helps somebody it's ok. And trust me, I do not want to take anyone anything what helps him/her. We are on the same boat here and we all know how important is to have something that helps us (If it does not hurt us e.g. drugs, alcohol)...

No I don't. I am not believer. If anything I like buddhism, but buddhism is more like philosophy and life-style. But funny thing is that some therapeutic methods are similar to meditation, also some breathing techniques. And I also like philosophy in general. What helps me ? Yes, walking or...

I am 35 but I still feel lost. I started to change something in my life but I am not sure if that is enough. I still don't know what to do in my life. I am confuse. I'm mostly lonely. I feel everywhere like a stranger, with my relatives, at work, on the street, with neighbors, even in here. I...

How you are doing in this area ? In the past I had some relationships but I'm still confuse. I had a female colleague and I am not sure if she flirted with me or not. She has a boyfriend. She behaved in a way that suggested me that she maybe had, and many other colleagues told me that there is...

I don't know where should I post this thread, so I'm here. It is related to relationships. How do you cope with the rest of your family, with other people and their expectations from you ? What do I mean ? From time to time I meet the other family, not my parents. So uncles, aunts, cousins...

I meant it differently. I wrote that opaquely. I meant that when you experience something in your current life, something what upset you. Do you tend to want to go back to the past, to your childhood when all those horrors were still real ? And you want to do that as if it were some escape from...

I know I have it when I feel like everything is pretending, illusion, irrelevant, and the only thing that matters is to survive. Or to say it more accurate, only things that matters are those that are related to physical threats. Not some abstract concerns. Not some life goals. Not some common...

I go to nature for a long tour, or exercise a bit. I have found that physical movement helps. But what helps me the most is my attitude. The attitude that lies in that I try not take things too seriously. Because after all what really matters ? I don't know how you but I lived in a dangerous...

It is very helpful, anyway I have read something about these things in the past and also recently. Anyone who struggle with anger or anyone in general should learn this. Or put it in less commanding manner, people should just think about it more. Me too. I have to write that I have read article...

Thank you Friday

Fadeaway, I know. I learned that one way how to fight with it is not taking that too personally because of their insecurity, so what I mean is that many times it is just about them, not necessary about me. I try to keep this attitude. I also know that I have to work on my self-confidence. Of...

Look, I understand what are you talking about. I learn these things and I already learned something. But that is not what I am asking. I can distinguish when someone in arrogant and I know what I need to do but I still don't know how to cope my emotions in those situations, what to do in...

Hi there. I didn't want to post a new thread. I just responded in another thread on this kind of topic but it is really hard for me. I mean I suspect that arrogance is natural behaviour of most people. It is so common, it confuse me and sometimes I am not sure if I've been triggered and I...
