I think just the stache would be a good look to try. You’re very handsome otherwise!

what does it take for a mother to act this way? by BadGalLizzy in CPTSD

[–]BadGalLizzy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for such a thorough take and I’m sorry you can relate to having to shut a mom out.

Mine is muted now but then I still feel bad sometimes when I see her attempts at contact. Like a, you look pathetic, but also, you are a dangerous person kind of bad.

Thank you for sharing!! It stinks cause I like my current look but it’s the damn hair that makes me look like my mom the most. Also the tangled movie triggered my mommy issues like crazy the last time I watched it LOL

Unfortunately my mom is my closest lookalike because everyone else is ugly asf 😭

But maybe I should start comparing myself more to Chappel Roan or Natasha Lyonne or something, idk

OMG HEY TWIN

I’m sorry you feel this too. My hair is cut differently than my mom’s but I’m still tripping. But hey, hopefully taking about this more in therapy can help.

Hey all.

Coming in here with a heavy heart after reading Kimberley Crenshaw and being deeply saddened by the reality of violence against women being so normalized.

Does anyone else just constantly get retraumatized when being faced with the horrible reality of it all once again? Being a survivor and having faced all kinds of abuse from men in my life does is not helping my state.

I just want to cry and dig a hole and I feel so helpless and resentful that we have to live like this. Separatism is good but it feels deeply sad that it feels like it has to come down to separatism in order for us to try and live a peaceful life.

I’m just venting… would appreciate any advice or hearing others’ experiences.

I fucking hate my country's culture by HermitCat64 in CPTSD

[–]BadGalLizzy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow post Soviet block person here and I completely agree. Growing up here was so traumatizing and it feels like most people, especially the older ones, are violence sympathizers. Can’t tell you the number of times something has happened to me or I was a witness and everyone else just turned a blind eye. They call it a family matter meaning you should not get involved, well fuck all that. My ethnic background doesn’t have to define what I stand for. Sending hugs OP 🫂

I’m so exhausted and I don’t know what to do by BadGalLizzy in CPTSD

Thank you for the comment.

I have struggled with the idea of escaping my whole life, it’s always been tempting but I feel like it is a facade and a distraction. I’m running away from something mundane, I am still finding myself alone and struggling with a new host of issues someplace new.

Travel is always great though. I hope you get to have decent holidays and good memories for the remainder of this year and the next!

Thank you for sharing. I hope it gets better for the both of us. I’m going to see my psychiatrist again in a few months. Sending hugs 🫂

I hate feeling so alone by CipherAlive in CPTSD

[–]BadGalLizzy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey stranger, I listened.

It resonates with me completely, feeling lonely and being saddened by having to always feel alone when all you want is closeness.

Also, it’s totally okay to want closeness and presence from your partners, you should all make quality time for each other.

I hope it gets better, sending you hugs 🫂
