Welcome and thank you for posting about your PTSD, (which I believe anxiety and major depressive disorder are all part and parcel of my PTSD diagnosis among other issues) as I too have also been diagnosed with PTSD, and also ADD.

My sister and I were grossly neglected, abysmally abused, and now it seems only I live to tell the insanity of it all. I am so glad that you are here...and I do so relate to your above post.

I too was horrifically abused starting in my childhood...and then on up into my adulthood. I believe I was also neglected from the time I was born as well. And I never knew it was PTSD until just March, 2012 (and I still didn't understand the magnitude and gravity of the damage and destruction that had been done TO me until just this year). And it has and will continue to be a long haul for me as well and I've come a mighty, mighty, mighty long way...baby.

Again, so glad you're here. Love and Peace.

Yes, some folks should not be allowed have children. Because of my abuse was life full of craziness. Started drinking alcohol & smoking Marijuana(weed) at a very young age. Had several emotionally abusive relationships. Now, I'm so isolated, depressed, etc. I am seeing a therapist and just finished an IOP(intensive outpatient therapy) program. I have been off from work since Oct 16. Not going back until Dec 26 due to seeing my therapist 2x week until I go back. I have so much anger due to my childhood. Of course, not going to say everything that happened, but it was unbelievable.
 
"Yes, some folks should not be allowed have children." - Oh holy Christ what a crock 'o spit. And How by God's green earth would that be decided? Fantasy thinking and not at all rational cuz we all know anyone who engages in intercourse (willingly/unwillingly) can become pregnant. So to me it's more of the okay what now sort of thing. I am abused as a child, young and adult woman. I am not special nor did I ever fantacize that "people who may abuse/neglect" should not have had children. The sad fact is they can and do so guess what the f' the issue is.... It's NOW What???? Now What do I DO... Now How can I learn and manage and have a decent f'ing life. For those of us who are born away from 3rd world conditions.... that is.

The think about abuse/neglect isn't if "most of us have it"... it's what the f*ck do we do with it.
 
Speak for yourself Eve cuz the reality is that people who engage in sexual activities aren't necessarily contentious enough to determine or even consider that they may become parents. Which means you can reserve your microscope for your own meanderings.
 
Nasty? For me that would be you first considering I am not/nor ever have been inclined to "trigger" post where this topic is concerned. That my dear would be you... Hugs are not my thing, as you no so pardon me if I call you on your crap without the requisite snuggle bunnies.

Uhm are you not aware of how you were posting? Cursing? Multiple punctuation marks? All caps?

My post had nothing indicating I was triggered.

I’m sorry my hugs are seen as crap to you. I personally find hugs to be very healing.

I think that your protectors are running the show. I think IFST could really help you so that you are acting as “self” without the blending.

It’s a good therapy you can even do on your own.

Check it out.

@The Albatross, just to let you know my statement was meant for folks whom abuse their children. My birth parents are one of them. You pretty much went beyond that was needed. Yes, you need a cool down. Don't worry your language do not bother me. I have heard worse. If you have read my post carefully I did not disrespect anyone. I hope you have a great weekend.
 
Welcome-
This site has been a huge shock for me in a good way. For so long I lived with the secre...
--- "what was expected and deserved".
When I read this, it brought tears to my eyes. I can clearly remember sitting on the floor in my room, very young, and telling myself "so this is what my life is going to be like". Sad.
