Great topic and I actually been thinking about this. I want to get my shit together and be a productive adult, be present when I parent and able to absorb and enjoy the little moments. I want to know which “parts” are actually me. I have some hobbies I love and I wonder what I could do in these...

I know you don’t know me. But I am proud of you for telling your story. I’m sure your therapist is as well. Yes I believe you. I am just so sorry this happened to you. You were just so little. Sending you hugs if you want them. Can you do something you really really enjoy today? Or go somewhere...

Yes. I very much relate to this. Some days I isolate myself as I don’t want to contaminate others. I feel like people can tell my aura is dirty and gross. Like my history Is written there for all to read. Doesn’t matter how many times I shower. Ashamed to admit I have thought about drinking...

I relate a lot to what has been said. I am always on the go, as in moving and I need to exercise for a few hours a day or I get super keyed up and antsy (I also have adhd) when I have times where I am not working out or moving, I feel faint and like I am going to drop (but can’t sleep)...

I love projects! I have made my first bracelet with sea glass. I used blue, teal and purple seaglass for it. I found a red piece that is super cool but idk if it would make good jewelry though. I’ll have to think of something else

Some pretty sea glass and pottery pieces from a early morning walk on the beach

Thank you. You are making me think a bit. I like that movie. I thought it was also pretty funny at parts (see what I did there). I haven read it. It has been recommended to me. I can’t bring myself to read it yet...not sure why.

Haha my T has said similar... we went over wise mind and the rational/ emotional sides; she told me that I am intellectually one of the most rational and logical thinkers she has met and usually she works with people who are more on the emotional side. So we worked on having and identifying...

Seabadger I respect what you are saying and even agree it wouldn’t be someone’s fault if they get mugged. Nor would I think it is a small child or anyone else’s fault for being abused. My T asks similar questions. I am logical and can see the above is the “correct” answer which should apply to...

Freida you hit upon something I haven’t thought of before.... self blame as a way to maintain control... I will need to think about this for a while. I have a desperate need for facts and accuracy. Which she says is a form of OCD thinking. This is where i get stuck with letting her treat me like...

I connect with so much of this. I am responsible for so much. And my T is all it isn’t your fault. I am beyond frustrated because I am also stuck on yes, yes it is! I let it happen, I never did anything, never said anything. I hate myself bc I put how many other people in harms way bc I never...

Yes. Some days I just can’t eat. If I try I choke. I know it isn’t anything physically wrong with me bc sometimes I eat fine. I just don’t when I am anxious or had a really bad night filled with nightmares or a lot of flashbacks. I don’t care what I look like...I am gross no matter what I...

Ugh I feel you. I am always on guard and tense. The only thing that I truly find helpful is movement. Like flipping/gymnastics or rocking climbing. It gives my mind a break. I can’t even sleep bc I am waiting for logically nothing. However! Hypervilgance is helpful when needing to remember...

I am a mover- need to pace or move while talking if I can’t and need to sit still I pick snd scratch I hate it and stop when some one points out that I am doing so. I tried stress balls and fidget toys. But I end up picking apart the ball or breaking the toy
