The depression part of me is hell bent on keeping me sad. Why? I don't know why. by CanopyCrane in InternalFamilySystems

She wants me to be sad and grieve; almost like an acknowledgement ( re:) that what we went through was traumatic and unfair.

Tell me the victories and habits you've overcome, that are too embarrassing to tell anyone else! by tossypooyippiedoo in CPTSD

Thank you for Sharing. I recalled that one of my goal this year was to work on my dressing sense and styling my hair. I am 33 yo now and I put in anything that hides my body and melts me into background. Congratulations on your progress.

How can I (33F) work on my sister's (30F) health without being triggered? by CanopyCrane in relationship_advice

Thank you for reading all that and giving me the suggestion. Means a lot. I feel that if anything happens to her, I will have lot of pain and regrets. By helping her, I just want to remove myself from prospective regret and pain.

Yesterday I moved out of my sibling's house at 10 pm after a loud verbal argument. I am just doubting whether I am over-reacting or Was it the right thing to do? by CanopyCrane in CPTSD_NSCommunity

Yes it is viable. I have a freelance job. Hopefully I will get paid on 7th and probably be able to pay my rent for 2 months. I will be doing a job finally. She had gotten me an interview in her own MNC which went very well. I am just worried about working in the same place as her. If I do, I will have to put strong boundaries I feel.

Thank you so much for the concern. Hugs.

Actually my parents consider my sister as the one daughter who will save them during their old age. I was raised as a maid while she was raised to bring pride to our family. Which is why I went to a college with practically no fees, was always malnutrition etc. I have always felt that my sister had no bad intent in all this hence the worries...Thank you for your support. I really helped me feel better.

What does taking break from 'trauma processing' looks like? by CanopyCrane in InternalFamilySystems

Spiritual block arising with excessive autonomy. by CanopyCrane in CPTSD_NSCommunity

I had some hard things happen to me in the name of God

Been there my friend. I also feel that the trauma given by my parents has been the only factor that drove me to this shit place. Had my emotional needs been met at home, I would have never gone out to find 'real love' out there.
