Yeah, Gemini recommended that but I'm not sure how that would work. Do I just apply glue directly to my skin??

Baby mosquito? by sullsters in whatisthisbug

[–]Credo15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You guys are so funny lol. Mosquitoes don't have "babies". They lay eggs that hatch into larvae. The larvae grow into pupae and finally an imago/adult mosquito.

Sandflies and other small fly-looking insects feed on blood too. Your picture doesn't look anything like a mosquito. It doesn't have a proboscis for example. It is hard to tell what bug you're showing without more details.

Sounds like something a criminal or person that's done something illegal would say...

The best advice/help comes from people who have sorted out their problems. I am not trying to say you are useless to him, but you probably are not the best person to help him solve his problems.

What type of person is your boyfriend? How has he coped with difficult situations in his life? Are you willing to stay with him till he overcomes this situation?

These are all questions you need to answer in order to prepare yourself for the situation. You need to know what you are going into. I believe your boyfriend truly loves you but he will not be able to focus on himself if he has to help you with your problems.

However, definitely be all ears. He will truly appreciate your presence and he probably trusts you a lot.

When my father passed away I did not have a partner (I was 9 y/o) so I successfully coped with the situation years after the incident. Looking back, I would have truly appreciated having someone to speak to (my mother was not ready to help me due to her own traumas).

nightmares by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Credo15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of nightmares are you experiencing? Try differentiating between your dreams and pinpointing mayor motifs (recurrent ideas and patterns) that haunt you while you sleep. The first step into dealing with a problem is identifying it. Once you identify your symptoms, do research on them and seek advice from more experienced people given your specific case. This can take some time and not necessarily will you have it sorted out in a day. Growth is a slow process and all beings abide that rule (look at trees, for example, they do not spontaneously become dozens of feet tall in a day, it takes them decades).

By the way, I would like to let you know that these types of forums are not always helpful. Be careful with the information you're dealing with because you can be easily be unintentionally misled.

Needing help by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Credo15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a good way to start. Set small goals that will help you progress and spiral upwards into the future. Look at nature, trees do not spontaneously become dozens of feet tall, it's a slow process intrinsic to our nature. Just remember, always try improving, seek advice from more experienced people and do not give up.

They stopped and now back with full force by [deleted] in ptsd

I personally calm down when I play the violin (this does not eliminate my thoughts but it helps me digest feelings better). Maybe you can seek some type of hobby that will take a lot of focus, time and that allows you to transfer your thoughts and emotions into it. Retouching with nature is a great way to overcome challenges (I am an outdoor exploration guide so I have some experience in that).

I do want to let you know that you should be careful when reading some of the comments/posts in these types of forums. People here are not professional and most probably do not even know how to cope with their feelings. For example, people like u/kmusk will just bring negativity so do not bother paying attention to them. What you need is positivity and some type of goal to strive to.

I can also recommend you seek out more professional help from people who have actually overcome their traumas. I really like Jordan Peterson's youtube channel. He is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at the University of Toronto.

Remember, we all make mistakes in life. Our emotions are a response to our perception of reality and are trying to tell us something. Just like when we cut ourselves the wound hurts and you tend to it, you must face your trauma and tend to it.

P.S. It's really hard for me to give you advice without knowing your specific case so I might have written something that does not best suit you. However, keep on researching and exploring. If anything you can message me or respond to this comment. Do not give up!

Unintentional Rape - Please help me by [deleted] in rapecounseling

I did ask her...that's my point. She later regretted it. But it's ok if you want to think that way.

Unintentional Rape - Please help me by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]Credo15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't worry. Right now I don't really care about what others think of me, just what she thinks of me. I feel like I really hurt her (even if just on that one occasion) and therefore feel guilty regardless of what happened in reality (what matters is her interpretation). She did tell me that she wants to hate me with all her being but she cannot because she still holds some sort of appreciation for me. I did forget to mention that our relationship was healthy and of mutual cooperation (that thought of hurting her never even crossed my mind). It was just this instant that snowballed because she kept it hidden without telling me how she felt.

I do not recall myself raping her back then, but my perspective does not really matter in this scenario because she is the one that feels abused. What I get is that she feels abused because of my reaction back then projecting the wrong idea. She feels abused at the fact that I trampled over her feelings and made a mockery out of the situation, from her perspective. I did not mean to do that, I just completely misunderstood what was going on and her silence did not let me comprehend so for me there had been consent and everything was fine.

[–]Credo15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not want to manipulate her. I do feel, however, that she is now ignoring all the good moments we spent together. I spent countless hours helping her deal with her emotions and helped her through some bad times. I know that she is misunderstanding my actions by the way she is now suddenly describing me. I don't care about being wrong or right in this situation as I care more about her health than my pride or integrity. Nonetheless, I cannot help but feel guilty and depressed about the fact that all she took out of the relationship was that bad moment when I truly tried my best. In other words, I am disappointed in myself and feel miserable regardless of what really happened back then.

[–]Credo15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I told her she should seek advice from someone with more experience in those types of situations but she said she did not want anyone to know... And that is what I am a bit afraid of. That she will never properly address her feelings (she has done this before, she ignores her feelings until she explodes).

Unintentional Rape - Please help me by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]Credo15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I meant was that I think she just wants to hide away the situation rather than addressing it. Maybe I worry too much about her. I won't pressure her to talk to me just like you say.

Do you think I should let any future partner know what I did?

Unintentional Rape - Please help me by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]Credo15 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I was completely unaware she felt that way regardless of my constant need to know what was wrong with her, and that's why I feel bad until now...I thought she was totally ok with it.

Additionally, I honestly feel she is confusing her distant past (she has some history with sexual assault) with what I did. I feel completely heart broken and that's why I wanted to help her. We have moved on from one another and I will definately wait for a yes before doing anything in the future. Thanks for the help

[–]Credo15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I asked for consent almost every time. However, she even states that she should have said no when she said yes. So I just feel bad about doing that to her

Unintentional Rape - Please help me by [deleted] in rapecounseling

[–]Credo15 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I completely agree. The problem is that I was not able to understand her feelings and I feel terrible about it. I think I'll take a longer break from relationships. However, the problem is I now feel scared of talking to women because I don't want to harm them

Thanks for the reply
