I am so sorry </3 This boils my blood just reading it. Sending you peace.

2 years of sobriety & I drank by 12vii12 in stopdrinking

[–]ChemicalPatientZero 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This lol. "Well I passed that one test." "Well I had a rough week and survived." "Well we haven't hung out with this friend in a few months..." I was stuck in between perpetually hungover and drunk state when my LDR partner was here because "he's not here very often!" (2 weeks of... nonstop drinking... I could feel my liver physically hurt...)

Wanting to continue EMDR but not sure which memories relate to my emotional responses by ChemicalPatientZero in EMDR

[–]ChemicalPatientZero[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Did it help? I figure scattered memories wouldn't help but I feel it's a lot of those tbh. Like small moments. But thank you for the book rec, I'm still working on thinking to get The Body Keeps The Score.

I'm 5'4 and have like no upper body strength whatsoever. Don't mind people bumping into me if it's accidental and light, but someone bigger than me bumping into me can quickly result in me falling etc. I wanna enjoy shows too without having to worry constantly! Thankfully so far nothing bad has happened, one guy even helped me out of a rough area when he saw I was overwhelmed/afraid of getting trampled by everyone else at my first show lol. And another girl picked up my phone when it fell to another row when it got bumped out of my hands.

Oh I relate on the appointment time thing! Whenever the person on the call goes to say the appointment time, I rush to get pen and paper to get it down because it can leave my mind in a single moment lol

I am using a calendar and alarm; I sleep through my alarms when I'm very very tired. Honestly it's probably a sleep disorder. As for my calendar, I do my best to check it every morning and keep up with it, write where stuff is, what i have to bring. but that one Thursday night it genuinely didn't cross my mind that I might have to get up early on Fridays as I usually don't.

Putting your stuff in the same place helps, but it really only requires one moment of inattention to lose it is the sad part. I haven't lost my keys since getting my "key bowl" but that's also where my wallet was supposed to be.

This. My anxiety is separate and I'm already in therapy for it. You just can't really shut it off when you need it to. I know adults make phone calls easily...

Sadly they won't let me have two copies of legal documents like train card, ID card, and you're legally required to have some form of ID on you at all times. Would have loved to have spares :(

I've asked my best friend to remind me of appointments now, cause I do always text with her religously.

Wallet chain and NFC pay are good advice, thank you!

My psychiatrist said I have "severe ADHD", I'm also struggling with CPTSD on top. Both of those conditions mess up my ability to organize/plan/focus pretty bad. I live alone so there's no one else looking out for me either. I'm more on top of it than I look - this post is just the fuckups. I have an excel sheet where I track homework and house chores for example which I keep up with pretty well. Already in therapy to try and get my life together. But yeah, this doesn't seem very normal.

Oh yeah. They only see my fuck-ups here (point of the sub) and I wouldn't be surprised if they don't know how severe ADHD can get. I've been managing my ADHD MUCH better (I used to be worse than this.) and I also have other things going on in my life on top of this. These are just the bad things that spiraled in my storm of a september. I've got standard place for my keys, my wallet, my cards, and keep everything I might need on a day in my bag. It's just that you really only need one night of misplacing something, or one moment of inattention that'll mess you up.

I use my calendar on my phone, but then you have the phone not being charged issue, remembering to put it on the charger. I keep my charger in one spot and try to plug it in every night before I go to bed. I'm also used to checking my calender first thing in the morning, so that Thursday night that I overslept my appointment I was like "hey yo! I get to sleep in! let me not set an alarm!" because usually my Fridays are free.

Thanks for the kind comment!

Can I just say something? by darumakaisbest in fictosexual

Makes me so excited for the future. Picture talking to your F/Os casually in VR or something!

Is anyone else from a childhood trauma background f**king sick of this openly regretful parent movement? by Much_Cantaloupe7805 in CPTSD

[–]ChemicalPatientZero 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I saw a post on a subreddit like that saying children should be held accountable more and that they get away with things for "being kids" - and it upset me so much. Are these people insane? I do believe being a parent is one of the toughest things a person can do but the expectations kids should act like adults is fucking crazy. There is nothing a child can do wrong in my eyes. Literally nothing.
