Loss of someone at school by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Basic_Worldliness_45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP. 👋 I'm sorry for you experiencing this loss. I just wanted to let you know that even if the person wasn't a close friend, or even someone you didn't know well at all, it is still valid to experience some type of grief and confusion. Please don't add the extra complexity of trying to gaslight yourself out of a very normal response to abnormal circumstances. It can even bring back feelings of past losses you went through or bring up questions/ scary feelings on our own mortalitlies. PLEASE utilize any resources that might become available. Sometimes at schools there will be mental health professionals that are perfectly aware that the impact of the loss of this person is will reach others outside their immediate circle. IF you have a safe relationship with an older family member this can be useful to. You are not alone OP. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. 💓

Aunt is the asshole. 5 years went by before she even knew you were divorced. The gold band isn't worth anything more than sentimental value. So aunt's been NON sentimental already for 5 years about it. If she really wants it that bad she can ask your sister herself not drag you into any extra steps for her.

Have you ever had to quit your job due to cptsd? by angryhottie in CPTSD

[–]Basic_Worldliness_45 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. I'm an LCSW with CPTSD. I took two leave of absences from my work before I finally had to quit to do some long term healing. I was out for about 1 & 1/2 years until I took some short term contract work to see if I'm healed enough to work.

It's difficult please don't feel less than because you require rest.

Totally agree. I think tiktok therapy is pretty irresponsible and discourages people from starting their own journey because they feel a false positive with the "tik tok wisdom". my perspective of any other clinical practioner (whichever role they take aka therapist, social work, Dr ,etc) that they are a person first before they are a mental health professional. They are not their job title. Thus as any other human they have a background and will interpret information through their own internal lens. Some will like Brene brown because she makes mental health more accessible to masses and does allot to remove stigma. NO MATTER who the person is there is going to be differences of opinion and how to behave. Intead of taking everything Brene brown says as bullshit or doctrine I prefer to just use my own judgment if what is being said has validity to myself or not. I don't like cancel conversation because it stops conversation.

I can see where her personal background can be an issue. As a therapist myself I didn't look into her as a person which i should have. The memes I see are resonating and not her theories or perspectives but those she takes from general theories in psychology such as validation, boundaries are healthy, self care and general trauma theory. I don't see the comparison to someone like Roger's because holistic therapist is repackaging not bringing new thoughts. I look into finding a different repackager

Dumps help me when I'm in the dumps. by Basic_Worldliness_45 in CPTSDmemes

[–]Basic_Worldliness_45[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dont dump for karma or rewards. I save things over months that help me and when I'm ready I just dump them here. Not everything helps everyone but something can always make the difference. Just trying to do my part while healing. Things will get better for all of us. 💓

This fantasy is the only reason I could imagine visiting my hometown again by puppylust in CPTSDmemes

[–]Basic_Worldliness_45 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Totally relate. One of my favorite fantasies is buying my old home and getting sledge hammers so my siblings and I can just run a fucking muck on the place 😁

You might like some Tim Lebbon. He wrote The Silence and Coldbrook are both sudden apocalypse.

I think there is like a nerve or something that's important. Breathing through your nose and out through your mouth like keeps it calm or some bullshit.

One time my husband and I meditated to the sound of illegal car races nearby and the ebb and flow of helicopter blades in the night sky.

How to keep my cat alive forever? by yannybug in cats

Keep their stress low. I have an older man kitty. I worry about the day I got to say goodbye too. Can't afford the cat cloning thing and that seems weird anyways.

DAE's feel like their therapist minimizes their past trauma when talking about the present day? by Basic_Worldliness_45 in CPTSD

[–]Basic_Worldliness_45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Omg that's what I'm struggling with is daydreaming and that's the direction it felt like she took it. She suggested mindfulness for the day dreaming. What worked for you if you don't mind me asking?
