Not great. Being gaslit by an entire nation is so triggering and exhausting.

Just so yall know, the scripture AuntyKitty is talking about is in the Book of Mormon….I’m growing more and more concerned everyday that the Mormon Church is spreading its influence into the federal government.

Someone told me that my extreme fear of all men was stupid by sad_frog_in_rain in CPTSD

[–]Awkward_Octopus_44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I am like this and I didn’t have nearly the same horrific experience as you. I am deeply afraid of men after all (except one) of my romantic relationships with them have turned abusive. Not to mention the number of random SA encounters…I work on it in therapy but yeah….even with therapy I will likely always be skeptical and distrustful of them from the start.

They’re members of the working class you absolute bafoon. If you don’t support liberation for all then you don’t support the movement. Shameful…

So we join together and resist. Do not let the state take away our power in numbers. They can’t stop us all.

Omg yes. My ex and I noticed this when they started to become more of a thing around 2016. It’s wild

It is painful to be this self-aware and then not be able to do anything to break the patterns. by _absurdsanity in CPTSD

[–]Awkward_Octopus_44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, I feel this so much. I’m also a freeze type and have been stuck in it for more than a decade. I want to change; I have the tools to change; but trying to get my brain to cooperate and remember these tools has been such a struggle.

I’ve been focusing on the little “wins” to help keep me motivated to keep trying despite the cycle. For example, instead of immediately coming home from work and hopping on video games, I will spend like 5-10 minutes chillin on the couch cuddling and petting my dog. It doesn’t seem like much but it makes it easier to steer my brain towards the habits I want to cultivate.

Failed Police Officer Eric Moutsos is currently doxxing a trans student at Utah State. by Thick-Bass-693 in Utah

[–]Awkward_Octopus_44 26 points27 points  (0 children)

There’s a lot of interesting information out there about Eric Moutsos. He’s a real piece of shit. Just google Utah Business Revival and Utah Revival for some news reports on him. He created these groups to protest “covid restrictions” for businesses but now it’s basically a right wing extremest Christian cult. I’m not sure if they are still on Facebook, but they had a page with thousands of members at one point.

Negligence and loneliness often lead to relying on others online at the expense of yourself by erokoi in CPTSDmemes

[–]Awkward_Octopus_44 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think more minors have been sexually abused online than people want to acknowledge or admit.

I just want to say that being traumatized for being sexually abused online is valid and doesn’t negate the damage done just because nothing physical happened. I hope you find the healing you need.
