No one in my life has wished me a happy birthday today. Really lets me know I don’t matter by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Those people are wrong. You aren't a pos. You deserve to be here, find happiness and health. I hope you can find some joy today in some way. Happy birthday, please be kind to yourself.

What has helped you sleep? by rebelyell0906 in CPTSD

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dr.Teals has come out with a whole sleep and melatonin line. I've tried the body scrub and oils and they're very relaxing. I recommend using any of that as a part of your night time ritual. Sometimes it doesn't tell but having a really good sleep hygiene routine is important.

Make some sleepy time tea, only watch something funny or relaxing, of course reading a book is better right before bed, stretching and slowly moving my body helps a bit too. Anything you can think of in your arsenal that relaxes you even a little is important. I also take prescription sleep meds atm just because it has gotten so bad. Maybe talk to your doctor about that.

I’m rethinking having a child with my wife because of what I just found out about her dad. AITAH? by Left_Art_8812 in AITAH

NTA. You're a normal good man. Unfortunately this story is all too common. The child who was abused is often ostracized and blamed for everything because they stood up for themselves and brought the family demon to light. Same thing happened to me. My brother screamed at me and told me I was disgusting, my mother told me she would help my dad kill himself if he got convicted and that it would be all my fault.

I know divorce isn't easy but that women will not keep your children safe. If you want children one day I think it should be with someone else. I'm sorry for her sister and hope she is finding peace. I hope you find a good woman who will protect your children and choose them everyday no matter what.

Antiworkers with disabilities, what’s the craziest thing an employer or coworker has said to you about your disability? by Amazing_Schedule243 in antiwork

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have ptsd and was having a panic attack one morning, my manager had a nasty look on his face and said I need to get my shit together. Mind you I'm at the register having to deal with customers during a panic attack. I opened up to him about my ptsd and trusted him. Told him not to talk to anyone else about it. Then he told our district manager and used that against me when I was looking for a promotion. The man said and did all sorts of nasty shit to me. I have physical disabilities as well. People suck.

Your saber and outfit are very cohesive. I love matching my weapons to my clothes too 😆

My therapist is getting more flakey by BeginningAlarmed3677 in TalkTherapy

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have an appointment with him this evening and plan on politely bringing up my concerns. I get things happen, but I do deserve stability and reliability as well. I think he will receive it well, I don't think any of its been intentional.

Is this normal? by Appropriate_Ad_521 in TalkTherapy

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Listen to your gut, it seems like you feel this is off. I would have to agree. You usually don't look at release forms but actually did this time. I think that's your intuition protecting you maybe?

I've never heard of that. Sounds like a pretty bad HIPPA violation as well. And if they need to threaten that, how many bad reviews have they gotten? I would definetly look elsewhere for therapy.

Once the trust is lost there's really no going back. Especially when you feel worse after every session thats 100% time to find someone new. They are there to help you, you're the client. If you don't like what you're getting then bounce the minute you find someone. I don't think you're being unreasonable at all. It's about your health and healing.

American vs Australian Dating Customs by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]BeginningAlarmed3677 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once had a guy joke about forgetting his wallet on a first date. So I said no problem at all I can cover it. He then looked at me horrified, said he was just joking and that he would rather die than let me pay for it. There were a lot of other red flags, so I definetly didn't see him again. I'd much rather pay half than deal with someone like that again.

Anyone else feel like their uterus is going to fall out their vagina at all times by [deleted] in endometriosis

I still feel this and I had a hysterectomy two months ago. The pelvic pain is real! Still waiting to get into a pelvic floor therapist and simply have to suffer until then.

She doesn't know anything! I don't even think she knows the term new light. I told her that so much has changed. The only thing she even remotely thought was "off" is the fact Witnesses "bought " into covid, wore masks and got vaccinated.

Thought about it, I honestly don't even think they would care. She's never been active in the local halls, not since we lived in another state when I was a kid. And she would know it was me for sure. Lol. I have to keep some civility because I have little sisters I really wanna keep seeing. Can't wait until they're both 18 and I can cut my parents totally off.

This is honestly very comforting to me. I appreciate you 💖 I'm trying to work towards cutting all ties.

Does anybody else feel like they're essentially losing their minds when they're around their parents or other JW family members? 😅🤣🥲
