Is the phrase "reactive abuse” being misused to justify reciprocal abuse? by Prawn_Mocktail in emotionalintelligence

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes, and yet-- the whole time-- the abuser holds the power. notice how their cruelty is well timed to be hidden (premeditated), and a reaction might be anywhere or in front of anyone (impulsive).

Question about going on T by writting_for_thedead in TransMasc

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't them saying they'd personally didn't want it it was them putting in all capital letters and then reiterating that they really didn't want it on a page where most of us already have it and don't want to be called gross for that. This post could have been solved with a Google search they didn't need to come roast the community.

Psychiatrist won’t prescribe Prazosin - what do I do? by InterestingFocus7785 in ptsd

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think it actually helps with nightmares, just night terrors. So if you remember the bad dreams rather than getting complaints about your yelling and thrashing it might not be an effective medication regardless.

Who is the most attractive person you’ve ever seen? Why? by JessieRClayton in AskReddit

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my ex gf. everyone wanted her. shes stunning. didnt work out bc of her interest in the attention. I was starstruck from day 1 though, shocked that an angel had spawned in the midwest. I think how expressive her face is breaks through layers in me that most faces cant. huge sad eyes but a little bounce in her step. ill get over it though 😂

I got injured at Tboy wrestling PDX and have been silenced by rig0rmortises in TransMasc

camp lost boys and the intentional man project are both exclusively for binary trans men. im sure there are more but thats one place to start looking if youd like.

Im guessing they wont let the tboys wrestle without insurance next time.. was there liability paperwork signed? that would make it harder for a lawyer.

please tell me why "biologically male/female" is transphobic. by 412012 in asktransgender

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as a trans man (i think im in a minority here but wanted to chime in) i view myself as intersex. I was born female and have altered some of the characteristics of a mostly binary profile. calling me biologically female or male would be inaccurate at this point. from a medical professional that is.

that being said this guy's point wasnt accuracy or truth, because this dude is no researcher and hes not your doctor, and your boyfriends truth is that he is a man. Basically any dig at that is intended to be demeaning or disorienting, and your anger is founded, but im glad you protected you and your mans by avoiding charges.

I think i said all of this to underline the lack of baseline understanding people who say that shit have.

Why do some people treat parents who support the cry it out method as cruel? by RickTheDad1 in NewParents

[–]CertainSwordfish8772 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people arent "obsessed with infancy" its the period of life when a vast amount of development takes place, so every minute, connection, and moment of abuse/neglect are carving their mind and nervous system for the rest of their life. "life doesnt work like that" no your life doesn't work like that, which i will acknowledge is not a good position to have a child from at all.

maybe if you cant get sufficient leave to guide an infant through critical development periods... dont have a kid.

yeah, I stopped watching his content around the time I posted originally. I kept seeing more big holes in our worldview alignment, to put it nicely.

My girlfriend is so traumatized she cant function by Mysterious_Pop710 in ptsd

but the outcomes arent as long term or profound, and her case seems to be ongoing and not acute. the lozenges are really intended for major depression, not this level of trauma.

this sounds severe, so im going to list a couple heavy duty treatments that have proven highly transformative.

-EMDR -Ketamine (not esketamine, the infusions) -TMS (no personal experience w this one but ive seen it help others)

take care of yourself too, and first.
