    Sexual Assault Audible Orgasm During Rape

    I'm curious about what an "audible orgasm" is, i know that women moan a lot during vagina/clitoral stimulation, but is there a certain kind of moan that can be attributed to an orgasm? Maybe these people who hear you "orgasm" just hear you moan, and maybe you were faking it. I've read that it's...

    What can more mature people do about pedophiles?

    I'm really glad that i'm not sexually attracted to kids, however, when i studying this through google, i found something about it being genetic. I do like teenage girls to a degree, yet when i tried hitting on girls who were around college age, both times they told someone false information...

    Childhood Found out abuser connected w my family

    That was certainly a smart thing to do, unfortunately legal systems don't actually work, laws and sometimes people are very slow to change.

    It might be helpful to read about more general bpd or something, but I don't want to hear any more stories that I can't relate to.

    Childhood "Just getting over" an abusive childhood and confused/immature adulthood

    I didn't really like the one I bought because it told me to go on the internet, I've struggled with that pretty immensely over the past couple years.

    Probably video games since they're addictive That sounds like a great idea, even though it is a moment to moment condition, I struggled with depression a lot post college yet I don't experience those feelings very long just because I'm very active now adays.

    Saw a recording of myself which shows the depth of my angry and violent thoughts - how can I manage the monster inside of me?

    I have also spent a lot of time, especially through my 20s, ruminating about how to hurt people without it actually happening. It's important not to give in to those kinds of plots, because people who set out for murder always encounter the unexpected, and you have to particularly cold towards...

    Childhood "Just getting over" an abusive childhood and confused/immature adulthood

    Unfortunately, i do react to situations where someone is mocking me by bullying them, and part of the reason why i'm like this is because i had survive being in school by laughing and making my classmates laugh. For example, in 4th grade, i had this teacher who enjoyed making fun of her...

    Childhood Is this abusive

    It depends on the situation whether it's abuse or not: if your dad was being really aggressive and stopping you from resisting, then I think it could reasonably be classified as some form of abuse depending on the rest of his behaviors toward you. Parents often show some form of aggressive...

    Poll How do you feel about the way Resilience is thrown around?

    That explains why talking about trauma now adays is so confusing...trauma also has to be a reference to an injury, unless we are to leave the medical field completely out of it. To me, it mostly makes sense in reference to an initial occurrence.

    Poll How do you feel about the way Resilience is thrown around?

    No, trauma is the initial ocurrence. Today it's defined real broadly (as it probably should be) but in terms of medical science, it's some sort of physical blow or severe injury. The PTSD is when it repeats in your head or effects you negativity in a different way. EDIT: it's always used to...

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    Doctors aren't as knowledgeable as they appear either much of the time...I have "a doctor" but he's just a name on my insurance and normally I'm talking to a nurse.

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    I haven't had any luck with therapists over the past couple of years, they're either all booked up or won't respond in an affirmative manner to emails. I wish people would stop telling others that they should see therapists, thats not the only way to deal with mental health problems. People...

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    I'm not sure if I have ptsd, probably not in the standard sense, but I have experienced traumas, events that scared me and effected my mind for a long time in a negative way. My life hasn't been particularly traumatic compared to other people's though. I would use more details but I haven't seen...

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    It's individual specific what causes, and everyone experiences some type of trauma if they live long enough, that's all I'm trying to say. I think for that reason, having a DSM is based on a couple false assumptions: -that a whole lot can be generalized, I tend to see each person as unique and...

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    It's only a disorder if you're scared for no reason by random things, or you have flashbacks, or for other reasons. But no, fear and anxiety don't necessarily = ptsd

    To Medicate or not to medicate...

    I think your approach is fine, overall i'm very suspicious of prescribed psychiatric medication because i've been prescribed 4 different kinds, but the only one that has been ANY bit helpful was trazodone for sleeping. It doesn't always work but it will put you to sleep pretty fast as long as...

    Victims. Innocents.

    It's hard to blame a child for getting hurt by an adult...i tend to assume that there's no guilt, innocence, responsibility. In reality, things happen, people become victims, and sometimes perpetrators are victims. Sooner or later, every child loses their "innocence", either through an abusive...

    Poll Does DSM diagnosis help with your symptoms?

    Gaslighting is pretty rough concept, to me, that just sounds like the person was "canceling" you in modern terms, or just overly worried, maybe they were asseting "boundaries" because a therapist told them to do it. I tend to think of gaslighting as a plot of some sort, like, in an abusive...

    I'm just wondering, as a person with no professional training in psychology...WELL, i did study it in college, but that doesn't always help... I've seen a lot of therapists but currently haven't been able to cross the anxiety hurdles for finding a new one...if someone telling you you have a...
