    Sufferer New here—spouse on ASD spectrum cannot meet emotional needs

    And wish me well too. Imploding situations, just because you’re right… Unfortunately, this world of humans seems to live in perceptions. I leave it to God. But I also would like to have to real humans give me props, for what I’ve accomplished and for what I’ve suffered.

    Sufferer New here—spouse on ASD spectrum cannot meet emotional needs

    I don’t do it that way, and I still have the distrust of men. I took the approach of WHY IS EVERYONE SO BLIND! True! IS THERE NOT ONE!! Nope. Not one. Like you said. There really is a stigma to talking-shit about Asperger’s! My ex-would approve of having humor about it. I guess...

    Sufferer New here—spouse on ASD spectrum cannot meet emotional needs

    I have a very similar experience with marrying someone on the spectrum. Undiagnosed. My experience was totally valid, though it has not yet been validated, 7 years post-divorce. Going for a cuddle, and seeing a growl, whilst the man is jerking-off in the nice office I gave him to escape...

    “Good” nightmares about abuser?

    I understand. It sounds familiar, like I dreamt that too before once or twice over the years, in some similar variety of that dream. I remember a similar sentiment, not having hate feelings and then telling myself I needed to do so when I woke up, or something. I had one a couple weeks ago...

    Recurrent Hospitalizations- Am I just Weak?

    I could be wrong. But, here are my thoughts. Objectively, it sounds like you are starting to open-up to address the hospital stays. That may be why he was right to the point this time. I am sure that it felt like a jab! No doubt. You acknowledged that you are starting to see and question the...

    Dealing with Depression Relapse

    Good point above about testing and learning. You had an idea to try, you have done it a couple times, and will probably test the water a couple more times but that is your life and your body that you are learning. How long does it take for your medications to work again now that you have...

    CSA and Physical Illnesses

    I’m hearing you. I see that. Okay, so then the game is changed to applying for benefits - based on your income. Or am I stupid again? I’m okay to look stupid to try to help. :) I think it’s healthcare.gov and input your income - and also make sure to check the guidelines of income for...

    Facebook friend posted a picture of the Psych patients

    So many typos. Self-shaming for not being able to pull the right thoughts together.

    Facebook friend posted a picture of the Psych patients

    I held true to form and disappeared again. I watched it yesterday. Watched myself in action. I called my brother's ex-wife. My attacking-out-of-blue oldest brother's ex-wife. And she was not comfortable, at all to give me any kind and sharing open-ness. She was in my wedding. To extend to...

    CSA and Physical Illnesses

    I have an issue of ignoring my issues medically and therapy-wise since I get so dejected when I try three or so times and get nowhere. But, lately, God is like - GO TO THE DOCTOR to me. It depends on if you have work insurance, or not working. If you have a high deductible, or not. I know...

    Sufferer New Diagnosis, should've known - I expect rejection and ridicule but thirst for understanding and solid truth. PTSD, DID-NOS, MDD, GAD.

    Hi Toren! It doesn't surprise me at all that you worked in mental health. It doesn't mean that you are by nature a fraud. Did you help people in your career? I mean, it sounds like a long career. That's what counts. I know the thing I can relate to is that of your narcissistic close...

    Sufferer Feel like friends don't understand me post-diagnosis

    Glad to hear that you found this group so you have a place to talk to people who know what it's like. I have only met one person in my real life who had PTSD from Afganistan Marine experiences. Mine is CPTSD. He and I dated for two years. We both struggled with binge drinking, so it was a...

    Here we go again...

    I think that I had these dreams because as a sibling of 4, to a single parent, we did not get a chance to bond with her and feel safe. She didn’t touch or hug us. But that was who she was. She left my older brother and I alone to fend for ourselves and avoid stranger-danger. But simultaneously...

    Here we go again...

    I had these doomsday dreams all when I was growing up. I am still having them now, but different - because the surroundings are different. I think my childhood terrors could make block-buster movies… but those have faded. Weird note-I actually like to have these dreams, because I want my brain...

    Facebook friend posted a picture of the Psych patients

    My friend works in a hospital and posted a picture of a woman helping another woman who was in the hospital bed. She said, oh, something about how beautiful it is that mental patients can be there for each other. Because of my sensitivities, it didn't just make me say! Yeah! It was a sweet...

    Confusing Evil with Good

    Hi guys and ladies. I am struggling. Wrote this because it is just so hard to digest for me. My own stuff. I just needed to write something... An escape. Sorry for offending. I. I. I. I need to get better at being able to trust and learn... And distance my feelings and adrenal response...

    Confusing Evil with Good

    What are we really struggling with? Control. 1: Being manipulated? What can you do in this situation right now? 2: Manipulating others and not understanding why that's wrong? Explain why you understand that you're doing this to you circle. Offer an idea of what would be an appriopriate...

    I'm a psycho gf

    I went back and read your original comment. It reminded me of a poem I wrote at 14 years old. I clearly took the whole world on my own shoulders back then. I am not a psychopath... but this is what I wrote. (drama queen. I know. But this was private and I could let it out and let it go) as a...

    I'm a psycho gf

    Do you talk to this boyfriend about the future? Kids? What your dreams are? It sounds like you are firing-off-flags and having him help your dad at the house. Might be too much for you... A guy looking at porn... that's as diverse as are our struggles. Some guys will stop doing that for...

    I'm a psycho gf

    I was on this site that night, and I got overwhelmed. I read a CARAZY story from a gal. It made my mind explode. I think with that very difficult post... I had to withdraw. To many compulsions in BAD-GOOD-HELP-SCORN-RUN-NEVER SPEAK MY MIND BECAUSE WHAT DO I KNOW.-I DON'T KNOW THAT BUT I KNOW...

    I'm a psycho gf

    I can totally relate to this. Years ago m BF wanted to watch Game of Thrones or something... I don't know if that's what it was. I remember the incest stuff going on in it, like it was OK because it was "old/ancient times" and part of the story plot. I had a panic episode and I didn't...
