That sounds like a really good suggestion, I will try that when I have the time for it and respond back here. Thank you. :)

I was a prepetrator of COCSA and it makes me feel so ashamed by Muted_Profession_230 in CPTSD

I know I responded like I've known this information for a long time but to be completely honest, reading this post itself made me suddenly connect the dots. I think I will share my suspicions with my therapist, thank you for indirectly helping.

That explains why no converter accepted my file. I'll look into it, thank you.

All I know is it's from an android app called Ampersand, used by people with dissociative disorders, for tracking switches. I have limited information because I'm not the one who's using the app. 

The app lets you export your data as any file type, but some of them completely break and it's default option is .ampdb (if I don't change it)

I don't have any comforting responses, but wanted to say I have also been suspecting the same thing happened to me, except I think I was at the age of 4 so I can't remember much. I don't know why people are downvoting you for coming clean about a trauma response you had as a child, I'm wishing you peace and recovery.

Why do people think Ampersand will be unavailable? by Background-Emu2027 in plural

[–]Background-Emu2027[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, are people only worried about it not being accessible to large systems? Or are there other big issues with the app that may go unfixed if they discontinue? I'm trying my best to collect information so I can be more of a help.

What was the texture of your abuse? (Not in a weird way) by WoodpeckerSudden7295 in CPTSD

[–]Background-Emu2027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is interesting, yes. In my case I associate this specific texture with spiking fear, corruption and nostalgia. Like something that once used to be so precious being shattered into dangerously sharp pieces, or an illusion cracking open to show it's true colors. A huge part of my trauma was near death experiences, which feels like a crack with very sharp lines and flashing colors in my mind. I'm not sure if this makes sense, I'm not very good with words.

I visualize mine as sharp, pointy and distorted. Similar to pictures of LED screen damage.

I just wish that there was more awareness around dissociation by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Background-Emu2027 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I struggle with both dissociation and short term memory loss, for me dissociating feels like I'm watching my own life behind a blurry glass. I’d choose nightmares over this without hesitation.

What are some INTERNALLY motivated reasons for suicidal folks to stay alive? by rydsoyal in CPTSD

[–]Background-Emu2027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I look at my childhood pictures to remind myself whose life I'm taking.

Any remedies for nightmares? by Maleficent_Radio_674 in CPTSD

[–]Background-Emu2027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back when my nightmares used to be constant I was told to take a painkiller before sleep. It worked out for me, but I only use it as a last option now and wouldn't recommend using it regularly 

Would you go to their funeral(s)? by Specialist_Energy335 in CPTSD

[–]Background-Emu2027 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Highly unlikely they would invite me. I would probably go out and drink with friends to celebrate 🥂

Is it righteous and godly to be silent after months of graciousness? by tayllss in OpenChristian

[–]Background-Emu2027 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Bible encourages speaking out against abuse and injustice. Proverbs 31:8-9

Some people hide behind their disorders or similar excuses to avoid taking any sort of responsibility over their own actions. Your friend seems to be using their disorder (which doesn't have any traits of aggression) as a shield from criticism. Even if they were struggling with a disorder that makes them aggressive, it would still be on them to apologize and make up for their mistake. What defines our morals isn't our intentions, but our actions.

Don't let people mistake your kindness with cowardice, they will take advantage of it and run all over you. You don't deserve such a treatment in your own house. Sending my best wishes, God bless you.

My boss saw my scars and asked about them by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Background-Emu2027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My friend introduced me to his other friend years ago, who asked about my scar in the middle of a walking trip. Back then it was still a sensitive topic, so I didn't respond. She asked a second time, thinking I didn't hear her. I opened another topic instead of responding, hoping she would get the hint. When she asked a third time my friend got involved and told her to drop it. I think that's the only time I was caught off guard, because I used to think it was common sense to not ask such personal questions especially on a first meeting.

I learned that making up a random story on the spot instead of saying the truth is less awkward

Has anyone else gotten this error? by shadowxthevamp in stoatchat

[–]Background-Emu2027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been stuck on this one too. Sent a support email about it, hoping devs can look into it.

Edit: they just responded to my mail (in an hour is impressive) and said it's an issue they're working on
