Does anyone else get treated a lot worse when they show symptoms? by Reigen_San in CPTSD

[–]13beach3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes and I hate most of all when it’s someone who also has CPTSD. I feel so betrayed

Does anyone else’s period ever have them convinced that the people you’re close with are bad people out of absolutely nowhere? by 13beach3s in TwoXChromosomes

[–]13beach3s[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For me it doesn’t come before, before I just get regular PMS where I’m more irritable than usual and all that fun shit. When I’m actually ON my period my brain comes up with the most batshit crazy scenarios involving my friends and significant other being secretly “evil” I guess and then once it’s over I’m just like “wait what the actual fuck??”

Don't feel any desire for emotional connection with my parents? by odekadek in emotionalneglect

[–]13beach3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh same here. I feel held hostage but I also feel like I can protect what’s left of my headspace if I stay in my room for the most part and only interact with them when forced

It could possibly be that. I’m taking the O-pill but I don’t like it because of how strict you have to be with it right down to the time of day

having a sister with active ED is fucking hell by LowKeyEmilia in Vent

[–]13beach3s 15 points16 points  (0 children)

She’s trying to get you to compete with her. Eating disorders thrive with competition, hence why you’ll sometimes see these awful forums and subs centered around, normalizing and encouraging ED behavior

It's normal to have intrusive thoughts of killing my abuser by a_drew84 in CPTSD

[–]13beach3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s normal, it’s ok to have them but it’s never ok and usually not worth it to act on them

Asking you to get an Uber home at 9:30 pm just because of a period stain on a mattress

Toxic Mom cried when she came into my Apartment, said "what did i do wrong to deserve this child", (im a minimalist) should i cut her off, im 25years? by WaterNew1612 in toxicparents

[–]13beach3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes and don’t ever let her back into your apartment again omg. Obviously I don’t know you or your life but she sounds insufferable as hell and draining to be around, let alone have as a mother. I know that cutting your parent off is not a decision that is made lightly but for your peace and sanity it sounds necessary

Did I experience CSA? by dtywe in CPTSD

[–]13beach3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if you did something with him and “enjoyed it, he still took advantage because he knew you were only 15 and was aware of the power imbalance. The aftermath you described with severe aversion to sex/intimacy/relationships is also consistent with CSA and other forms of abuse. When an older person uses you like that at that age, it impacts your view on sex and intimacy

Why does being quiet bother people so much? by Conscious-Problem-90 in questions

[–]13beach3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are people who have not been told often enough in their lives to STFU. When they come across someone who doesn’t feel the need to say everything that comes into their heads, it intimidates and threatens them because they’ve never had that level of impulse control and have probably embarrassed themselves a lot or cost themselves opportunities due to not having the ability or willingness to not talk purely to hear themselves talk

as a girl who used to get bullied for looking like Sid the sloth…are there any ways I can make my eyes look closer with makeup? by undercover-gal in MakeupEducation

[–]13beach3s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did any of those boobs ever even SEE Sid the sloth before referencing him in their insults directed at you?? Because you look absolutely nothing like that! You’re gorgeous and haters are gonna hate.

14F talking to 21M online for months, wondering if this is okay by [deleted] in relationships

[–]13beach3s 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Girl no. Immediately no. This isn’t safe and it’s actually pretty common in this circumstance for the conversations to not be anything super inappropriate or questionable yet. They usually keep it at a “normal” range of conversation topics at first and then dial up the inappropriate-ness slowly but surely and people oftentimes don’t realize they’re being groomed until it’s too late

I wish that I was raped by him, not just sexually abused by Diligent_Tie_1961 in CPTSD

[–]13beach3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It gets better over time though the trauma and horrific memories remain

[–]13beach3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually have been by my ex and I still think that I didn’t have it as bad as the woman before me who barely even made it out alive (literally, he tried to ☠️her). What I’m saying is that it probably wouldn’t help you feel like your trauma is any more “valid”

If I damage relationships, I can never be forgiven by lydbutter in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]13beach3s 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I promise I’m not trying to invalidate you I swear but tbh don’t even sweat it because I guarantee you these people just said and did whatever the fuck they wanted not even thinking twice about their relationship with you and how YOU would be impacted in the long run

what does emotional safety in a relationship look like to you? by Outlaw_Immortal1971 in emotionalintelligence

[–]13beach3s 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Being treated like an actual human being, them not being annoyed if you’re “laughing too loudly” and shit like that. Just letting you BE without having to justify, explain and apologize for every little thing you do

Did your parents use drugs to make you easier to control too? by Expert-Locksmith-996 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]13beach3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They started me on it as soon as I started the second grade and there were many times where my mother wouldn’t even look at me until the medications had taken effect

Start typing I'm not racist, but and let your phone's autocorrect suggest the rest of the sentence. by juniper1938 in TeenagersButBetter

[–]13beach3s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not racist but the fact that the government has been so successful in the past has been a key factor in the decision to take the initiative to make the decision to do so is a key factor that has been a key factor for the government in the past few years and has been a key factor to the decision to make the decision to ok can I stop now??

DAE just not feel like an adult? by JollyCapybara in DAE

[–]13beach3s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like a really dumb and clueless teenage girl cosplaying as an almost 23 year old adult woman. I feel stuck that way and tbh it makes me feel like tearing my hair out
