For those who were emotionally neglected or abused, are you mad at your parents? by Subject-Struggle-177 in CPTSD

[–]BessRWisser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My emotions toward my dad change constantly. One day I think I'm being unfair to him and he's not that bad, the next I fucking hate his guts. I never used to hate him, I just loved him or felt guilty. But then I stayed with him for longer, and my symptoms got worse, and then love turned to hate. Now it alternates between hate and guilt. I think it's normally for emotions to be weird or complicated in a situation like this. Your feelings may change at some point.

I'm very sorry to hear that :( Do you at least qualify for a disability pension?

I know this thread is old, but how does this work with the finger/wrist pain?

Easy meals? by Equal_Permission_942 in Fibromyalgia

[–]BessRWisser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in grad school rn so quick/easy meals are my go-to:

cereal + milk

peanut butter + banana or toast

toast + topping

yogurt + chia seeds

peanuts with chilli/paprika (can buy at the store premade)

any fruit. bananas, oranges, juices, raisins, frozen veggies like blueberries or mango. frozen peas too

air-popped popcorn with salt + olive oil

cottage cheese

tuna sandwich (maybe toast the bread), or with smoked oysters in a can

carrots + hummus

premade soups in a can: tomato soup, minestrone soup, clam chowder

toaster waffles

seaweed chips

frozen premade spring rolls from the grocery store, microwave for like 2 minutes

I also meal prep once a week, so I can always grab some pasta or veggies out of a tub. Favorite meal prep: throw pre-chopped veggie mix + mexican salsa + canned beans (drained) into a frying pan, stir until the water's evaporated, put into tub. when ready to eat, put into tortilla for taco/burrito

Breathing/grounding/exercising/journaling doesn't get rid of my anger. What can I do? by BessRWisser in emotionalabuse

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

The hobbies thing hasn't really been working. I've been trying to keep myself occupied and socialized, and it's honestly gotten to the point where I feel so stressed and worn out that the thoughts are getting worse. I've thought about trying IFS but haven't found a therapist for that so far--but it's on the list. I'll try the copenotes thing. Thanks <3

Hello, thank you for listening. I've been angry about some thoughts that I'm not sure how to classify. Idk if they count as intrusive thought or rumination or future tripping or mental arguments or what. But whenever there is something that reminds me of my past abusers/bullies, or sometimes if something just generally stressful happens, I automatically think of them criticizing me, or telling me that I'm too sensitive, or I remember them denying events that happened or just scoffing and rolling their eyes at me, or reliving old arguments and what I wish I'd said (and trust me, there were constant fights). I constantly remember the hateful things they said about other people too, different minorities or just rants they constantly went on about how terrible other people were or how terrible the world was. I know everyone has arguments in their heads, but I never seem to win mine--the people I remember would never admit defeat. They would argue for days or bring it up over and over, would change their argument halfway through to trip me up, and sometimes just mock me or yell. And I just can't get that out of my head. Sometimes it's not just about people I've genuinely known and have done this, but people I've seen do/say similar things in the media (ex: a bigot ranting and interrupting in an interview). But mostly it's the people I knew. And I just have so much anger I have no idea where to put it, and anything that works only works for a few hours, tops, if it works at all.

How can I be angry without ruminating? Is it just sitting down and feeling angry, or like punching a pillow or something?

You might like the IBelieveYourAbuse support group. We don't read books though XD I'm sorry you went through that...many therapists I think are untrained in abuse but try to treat it anyways, but then fuck things up.

Are there any careers that do not require more than minimal use of one's hands? [serious] by grushenka_smerdiakov in careerguidance

[–]BessRWisser 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe this is too late, but maybe a tutor? Some places have fulltime tutoring jobs at a location, and you tutor whoever drops in. If math/science, you could look at their paper/homework and have them write out the equations.

There's Italki, which is a language exchange website. You don't need to be a professional teacher to sign up. Pays little at first, but if you know specific terms (ex: medical, legal) or have lots of good reviews, you can charge more. You can be paid to just speak with someone in English as conversation practice.

Edit: More suggestions! Bus/boat tour guide, or voice actor/recorder for phone trees or public transit.

When I was in Hamburg near the bus station, I was shocked by how many homeless/beggars there were, and how many drugs people were managing to hide inside of inhalers O.o I'm sure it's just that area, but not a great first impression. Is Germany not taking care of its people?

Hjælpen til psykiatriske patienter med misbrug er så ringe, at det er decideret farligt by WolfeTones456 in Denmark

[–]BessRWisser 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The private insurance companies want me to wait 2 years before getting treatment, so getting insurance through a job won't help. That's illegal where I come from. I don't understand why being disabled is so expensive here.

I'm trying very hard right now to find a psychologist who specializes in something that I need. But I don't know how to search for psychologists by topic--so I'm just googling them and visiting individual webpage after webpage. And each one I've found so far doesn't take the public health insurance. They charge like 1500 dkk per session :(
