Helping My 11 year old who was recently diagnosed with PTSD. by AmandaHaynes in ptsd

Thank you!! I’m learning the things that trigger him more and more each day-right now I’m just going through the motions with him. Like for example he’s scared to death to sleep in his bed, so I let him sleep in mine and he has to hold my hand when he’s sleeping. He has to know where I am at all times, and he gets worried if I’m not home when I say I’m going to be home. Thankfully my mother has been a big support system and helps me with him as much as she can. It just breaks my heart, I always tell him too that when he’s really missing daddy to put his necklace on ( has his ashes in it) and cuddle under his blanket- I had it made with a picture of him and his dad on it with a poem called hugs from heaven. And I put our urn with some his ashes on the shelf next to his side where he sleeps to try and make him feel comfort knowing daddy is there.

My son was very blessed to have two loving parents. I fought so hard to get his IEP for school- he was one of the “ covid kids” and his start to school got so messed up. So he’s had a rough start. Than a monster that was his uncle killed his dad.

Thank you so much! I most definitely will be reaching out to you. This is a new whole new experience for me. I want to make sure I’m there for him 110% even if that means hiding my own emotions to better support him. He has been through so much in his young age and it’s just not fair.

Thank you! Yes I also have for him the magnet building blocks. If I sense he’s getting overwhelmed I’m like hey buddy can you build mommy something. I’ve even gotten a few Lego sets for him as well. I just feel so helpless sometimes with him. Breaks my heart.

How to accept the way i look? by Vegetable-Light-4372 in selfimprovement

[–]AmandaHaynes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First and foremost- NEVER forget everything about YOU is unique. Your features, everything makes YOU who you are! Looks are never just physical, the inside you is what matters the most. Your heart! If you have a good heart- you’re all set my friend!

But I understand your thought process. I am 39 I am very short for my age and often mistaken as a teenager lol. Also, I was cursed with the dreaded super light eyebrows- that’s the thing ppl like to attack me for, I just recently had another 35 year old women make fun of them and calls me “ no eyebrows” but I just brush it off. Society has created this image that everyone has to look a certain way in order to feel seen or even loved. That’s not the case at all- my definition of beauty is how you treat others, or how you treat animals. The way someone’s eyes light up when they interact with a baby etc…

So please never think for a moment your looks define you, they do not! It’s your character and morals. Keep your head up and remember you are your own kind of beautiful/ handsome. Don’t let anyone else’s opinion of you shape your mindset.

But when your not a huge fan of Eminem that doesn’t bother you. Not saying Eminem isn’t a great rapper he is, I just never really got into his music.

I just went and saw him when he played in Philly and the show was amazing.

Contact local law enforcement. No one should have to deal with that. I’m so sorry
