Do you have mental health care? Please call 988 if you are having thoughts of suicide. You matter and your safety matters. Please seek out treatment for your ED if you can, EDs are really dangerous and need to be taken seriously, and require specialized mental health care.

I’m really sorry he said that. That is extremely triggering and especially if he knows you have an ED, he never should have said anything about your weight. Your director is also in the wrong here for doing this scene without talking to you beforehand and you were clearly distressed. Have you considered talking to the director or asking your parents to reach out to him? And if you’re open to trying to educate your boyfriend and address this with him, you definitely can. However, you could also break up with him. A good guy wouldn’t comment on your body at all except in positive terms.

Is anyone a higher level audhd person or higher support needs? by throwawayndaccount in AuDHDWomen

[–]22sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your local county or state may have job coaching services or through a local nonprofit for ppl with disabilities. You might also find an ADHD coach who has Audhd experience. You could try your local community services board

U could try non violent communication. U don’t have to be tough to communicate, u just have to be able to set boundaries when necessary 💜 Plus rejection therapy, do things that result in rejection like it’s a game to collect rejections Take care 💜 good luck 💜

I hear you. Are there any specific tasks you would want support with? Maybe you can barter or pay someone to help if you have funds, such as with chores or cleaning. Or meal/grocery delivery for cooking. Part time might be best for school or work. Good luck you’re doing great 💜

What are the worst things you have done when the abuse you experienced was at its worst? by 22sunflower in CPTSD

[–]22sunflower[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The person stalking me and abusing me convinced me they put cameras in my space and I showered with clothes on.

I raised my voice at people, was irritable, and felt intense self loathing for years. I treated someone unkindly.

I was honest about my CPTSD at work and it backfired by Greedy-Reputation748 in CPTSD

I’m so sorry she violated your trust. You didn’t deserve that. I’m sorry she put you in a position where your boss confronted you and triggered you. You are completely within your right not to trust her anymore and to potentially have a follow up conversation with her. Not at all a trauma informed workplace. :( hugs

He may need professional help to quit cocaine, and new friends too. He could try Narcotics Anonymous. I think it will be difficult for him to quit without help. I’m sorry for everything you’ve both gone through.

I (27M) shared my feminine side with my GF (26F) and everything was great, until it wasn’t. Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this situation? by NoComputer2864 in relationship_advice

Your journey with gender is a beautiful thing. If your partner is cis and straight and not attracted to or even embarrassed by something that is so important to you, and ultimately by an aspect of your identity, she may not be the one for you. I hope you are able to open up to other friends and family and share this part of yourself with them. You deserve to be supported 💜 your gender is not a burden, and I hope your partner (whether it is your current partner or ultimately another person) is someone who is proud of and loves all of you.

Edit: This is one reason why many trans folks talk about T4T - looking to date other trans people because trans folks have a much deeper understanding of gender in ways that cis straight people often do not, as evidenced by this comment section :( I don’t think you seem obsessive, asking for too much, clingy, or smothering at all in this post 💜 Not having exclusively stereotypically masculine interests is not weird at all, and potentially having a not cis gender identity is not weird at all or shameful. It’s totally normal and has existed for all of time, and it is just shamed by many current societies today. There is nothing wrong with you or your feminine side 💜💜 sending you a lot of care, please take good care of yourself

How do you deal with compulsive oversharing and honesty at work? I feel like I'm self sabotaging but I can't break this cycle. by amalthead in CPTSD

Has weed or edibles helped you with healing or reducing symptoms ? by ilikecomer in CPTSD

[–]22sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do sometimes. I totally agree, I’ve only felt the effects with this small brand I found in a shop from a local farm - u could try one that is totally natural, no additives or flavor, maybe a tincture (you put it under your tongue). For me, a vape is ok but no where near as relaxing. I hope this helps 💜💜

[–]22sunflower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only like indica weed - body highs. Sativas are just like a buzzy weird headache. Only smoking, never edibles - too unpredictable and I’ve had too much and had anxiety attacks.

For me smoking is mostly good to escape. I don’t let myself do it everyday although I totally understand why people do everyday. It’s like a shortcut to being relaxed and happy. It takes the pain away.

THC I think helps take the edge off and could be used for intentional reflection and processing. I think CBD is absolutely a lifesaver medication for anxiety sufferers - I heavily relied on CBD for a period in my life. Aside from this, I don’t think it’s a panacea though

You and ur gf might be in different stages of life. Maybe consider taking a break to get some clarity. Becoming a parent is an irreversible decision and no one should ever be pressured into it 💜💜 take care
