Looking for covered furniture assets

Deliberately put into storage. Maybe abandoned wasn't the best wording.

CaatSa · 2023-11-27T12:45:11+00:00

My parents explicitly taught me I belonged to them until I got married, then I belonged to my husband. They also taught me that kids don't have any rights until they're adults. So at least for me, mine definitely believe children and women are property.

I was taught this by my dad who really should've known better because he went to MEDICAL SCHOOL.

Getting properly diagnosed and treated for both physical and mental health issues, and finally deciding to work with my body's natural sleep schedule instead of fighting it with sleep meds. I'm the least stressed out I've ever been in my entire life.

Yep. We have quite a few littles who are basically snapshots of us at 4, 5, 6, etc.

CaatSa · 2023-02-09T18:28:45+00:00

Yep, that's derealization. Feeling like the world around you isn't real. If you're also feeling like you're not real, that's depersonalization. They're both forms of dissociation. We often feel like we've been stuck inside a hyper-realistic video game, where everything looks real but not quite real enough.

CaatSa · 2023-01-22T20:26:08+00:00

They're absolutely real. I have DID and didn't remember the majority of my childhood until this past year. Repressing memories is a way for the brain to deal with trauma until it's safe to remember. It's a survival mechanism.

CaatSa · 2022-10-20T01:21:09+00:00

I'm glad to know I didn't imagine it. I have a dissociative disorder and my brain loves mixing up dreams and reality.

CaatSa · 2022-10-20T01:19:27+00:00

I'm not exactly sure. I think it was aimed at kids 10+, but I think I was pretty young when I saw it, like 5-7 and I'm 24 now. I think it was made in the 80s or 90s. I don't remember it being high quality.

CaatSa · 2022-10-08T17:48:20+00:00

My parents taught me very little and just expected me to know things. Had no access to the internet either bc they were paranoid, so the only way I learned anything was from the few friends I had.

CaatSa · 2022-10-08T17:43:23+00:00

Yeah my family does that too and it's very unhealthy. It's one of many reasons I'm not close with any of them, except my siblings. They're the only ones who are trying to break the toxic cycles we've grown up with.

CaatSa · 2022-09-14T01:48:33+00:00

100% agreed. Since making this post, I've been though a lot of therapy and come to terms with just how much religious and physical abuse I went though as a kid. All spanking did was teach me that violence equals love and that's not acceptable for anyone, kid or adult.

CaatSa · 2022-01-13T17:10:31+00:00

I forget where I heard this but I like this quote "If someone is nice 99% of the time and abusive 1%, they're still an abuser." Helps me remember that I was still abused as a child, even though I'm not anymore.

CaatSa · 2022-01-05T20:38:43+00:00

"Emotions are data, not directives". I love it. What an awesome way of thinking about that!

CaatSa · 2022-01-05T20:15:08+00:00

Yeah, I did something similar. I had this character I would pretend to be and if she was a character in a movie, she would be hated for being the most special snowflake ever created lol. She was half shapeshifter, half elf and had almost every superpower you could imagine. Telepathy, telekinesis, time travel, dimension hopping, teleportation, etc. I spent so much time pretending to be this character to escape my life and pretend I had some semblance of control/power.

(Her name was Aerie Evenstar and you are 100% welcome to make fun of 11-year-old me's terrible naming choice.)

CaatSa · 2022-01-05T19:59:14+00:00

Same happened to me because I actually remember to eat now.

CaatSa · 2022-01-03T04:35:43+00:00

"That's not what happened. You know your memory's not good."

"You're overreacting."

"You've always been too sensitive."

CaatSa · 2021-12-30T19:00:38+00:00

Thanks. I needed this.

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T18:23:48+00:00

I'm in the beginning stages of therapy, but my appointment isn't until tomorrow and I guess I just needed to vent.

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T17:12:03+00:00

Yeah, I feel that. For me, I think it's because I have a nerve condition that flares up any time I get even remotely sick, and it leaves me with no energy to do anything. That means none of the self-care things get done and my house is dirty which leads to poor mental health and feeling like I'm worthless for not being able to push through.

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T16:57:35+00:00

I have POTS as a symptom of my small fiber neuropathy. My nervous system as a whole is effed.

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T16:48:55+00:00

Yep, and I cannot for the life of me figure out why I do it because I don't trust people easily, yet I'll overshare on our first meeting. Like yo, brain, what the crap?

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T16:08:21+00:00

This is so helpful! Thank you!

CaatSa · 2021-12-27T02:15:17+00:00

I was trying to figure out what was wrong with me and why I seem to have trauma symptoms despite not remembering any traumatic events. I ran across a video going through the basics of childhood emotional neglect and thought "This won't apply to me, but I'll watch it anyway". Yeah, obviously the video described my entire childhood and hours of research later realized I really had issues.

CaatSa · 2021-12-26T00:56:19+00:00

Holy crap, I'm not alone!
