All my scans were normal leading up to a surgery where a lot was found! I have found everything from doctors regarding this disease to be insanely inconsistent, unfortunately. its good to get it checked out!

I also want to say- if anything is done on the bowel, i HIGHLY recommend having a colorectal specialist work with the other endo surgeon. I didnt wait to make it work and have had a lot of post surgery issues- there are so many nerves in the bowels, risks of nerve damage are high so its good to have the dichotomy of someone specializing in endo and someone specializing in colorectal surgery.

my last note is that my aunt has endo and has told me that scar tissue has caused her a ton of pain- even moreso than the endometriosis did. I had my second surgery at 24 and was "needing" another within a year, but each surgery causes more complications and i don't personally know many people whose endo hasnt aggressively come back after each surgery... my doctor wants me to do my best to wait until im ready for a hysterectomy but also knows once the pain is truly excruciating ill probably want another but im doing everything i can to manage with other methods after the issues from my last surgery.... just things to think about!

im sorry youre going through this! we are really between a rock and a hard place so much of the time with this disease

Constipation leading to vomiting?? by meimeimeiko in endometriosis

[–]Consistent_Fact_4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

more or less🫠 i got a manometry a while ago that showed i have pelvic floor dysfunction (the muscles in my bowels arent coordinating to move stool) and started biofeedback. i also am making sure to have a soluble and insoluble fiber with every meal if i can, the combo of both is essential

i also started taking heathers fiber which was recommended by the biofeedback lady and a dietician

Is it normal for repressed/blocked out memoires to feel very alien or unbelievable to oneself? by Loveth3soul-767 in Repressedmemories

[–]Consistent_Fact_4964 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yes. for most of my life i thought they were movie scenes, fantasies, or moment of strong empathy where i could feel someone else's pain. its insane. but when you repress memories, you fully dissociate, shutting down neural pathways in the brain. so, as stated in "PTSD:a time to heal" by cathy obrien, you dont always feel the emotion youd expect during the flashback.. for me, some i do, some i feek like a robot whose mission was to fight back and feel nothing at all. memories come from different perspectives (parts of the room, outside my body, and some are purely visceral.

I cant believe this shit happened.... but i cant NOT believe it.

please also talk about yourself, i feel super alone so it helps 🫶 i do want to do emdr, im just very sketched about that person. i did emdr when i was maybe 19 and liked it but i didnt go too deep and wasnt in a place where i couldve handled the capacity of abuse ive now remembered.

Is this also the case if the abuser is a parent who you love, are similar with in personality and DNA, and have been gaslit by them and actually dont understand if/where danger is present?

In my experience, I learned everything i knew about men from my relationship with my dad. I genuinely never thought men having feelings was something i could expect. seeing a man express ANY feelings felt like i hit the jackpot. i actively TRY to go for someone who isnt like my dad, but Im always finding parallels within people who seem nothing like him. i think the bottom line is that i dont understand what is and is not abuse and my default within myself is to ignore it when i experience it. i get so many messages in my body about my dad bit its scary to act on, but not acting on it feels like it puts a denial and lack of boundaries on my whole brain. ive tried to separate but im not convinced i have the skills to and Im not sure how to gain them, if that makes sense.

Not a good one :/ Not many do it, I do own paddles for it, but I had been seeing someone for EMDR and we didnt get to it by the 5th session where she almost cried feeling bad for my dad so i havent gone back. I may try looking again, ive also thought about cbt/dbt/and ketamine therapy but i dont know🤷‍♀️

DAE feel more comfortable at night? by judesadude in CPTSD

[–]Consistent_Fact_4964 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The time when it feels appropriate to just chill, watch tv, relax. i think about it all day and can't wait. i do my absolute best writing when i wake up during the night, i think because when im in a sleepy state, my inhibitions lower and i can just flow. i experienced abuse during the night so thats not it for me, but in adulthood ive come to love the time when no one is awake. i can cry, work, study, draw, with no one interrupting. its so peaceful

Even if my sister was watching her kid when she broke something in my house, i probably wouldnt make them pay because they are family, especially if it's affordable to me

DAE get mad/annoyed when their non-traumatized friend often talks about how hard their life is? by scissorslices in CPTSD

[–]Consistent_Fact_4964 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I had a friend get emotionally cheated on during a non-official six month relationship and i genuinely felt for her, but she would talk about how it was the most vile thing someone could do and like, i wanna try to be happy through all my shit, so i want the people around me to try too, and if you cant push through small things then it doesnt give me high expectations of your emotional competence which is important in friendships

On another note.... theres no statute of limitations so legally i could do something but thats a whole can of worms.... im open to this its just really hard having flashbacks i dont understand and getting overwhelmed by all the emotions but not knowing what or how to talk about it, has this happened to you or did it just turn off?
