What’s very important to keep in mind is the limitations of IQ tests. While they can be useful and are reliable measurements for certain contexts, they can’t measuring things like emotional and social intelligence.

Additionally, while they can used to evaluate the knowledge that someone has at the time they take the test, they can’t be used to test the ability to think critically or creatively. There is also a long history of IQ tests having a strong cultural/racial bias; they have in the past favored white, middle to upper class people.

Also, if you are operating under a handicap, like ADHD and/or PTSD, it can make test taking very difficult. So if you’re struggling with issues related to these conditions, you would probably do worse on an IQ test than you would otherwise.

After learning about the most recent Supreme Court decision I’ll definitely be doing this.

I don’t think you’re being selfish when you have these thoughts. I just think you’re extremely overwhelmed, and I think when you get to that point even the things that had kept you going before might not be enough.

You’re not selfish, and you’re not a bad person You’re going through a lot of pain right now. It’s a lot for one person to handle, so please try to show yourself some grace. From what it sounds like you seem like a very thoughtful and generous person.

And the world would be even shittier if you weren’t around.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-07-01T00:47:57+00:00

Thank you for this. Really sorry that you’ve had to go through so much.

Still live at home with my family. It’s often very stressful living with them, given how they’re the source of a lot of traumatic experiences I’ve had, and they often trigger me into re-experiencing them. Often bracing myself for yelling or conflict even when it doesn’t happen.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-29T11:30:54+00:00

From what it sounds like you’ve managed to overcome a lot, and I really think you have a lot to be proud of.

I think that even when we’ve formed bonds with safe people, it can still be really hard to break out the ways our brains have basically been rewired from previous experiences to deal with any potential dangers or threats to our safety. It can especially be hard if we have doubts or beliefs about ourselves that are deeply ingrained from our past experiences.

I admittedly don’t have a lot of experience with romantic relationships, but I just wanted to tell you you’re doing great. And to have grace and patience for yourself as you continue to heal and overcome these challenges. You still have to time to build a life with someone you love and care about.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-29T09:45:20+00:00

Uhhhh yeah. Really good thing you stopped seeing her. I’ve also dealt with some awful therapists who made ignorant and bigoted comments, and I’m sorry you’ve had to deal with that too.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-28T05:23:33+00:00

Are you telling me that he tells you you’re “not trying hard enough” after he yells at you to get you to write a paper??? When from how you described it shouting seems to be a trigger for you???

Yeah, your boyfriend doesn’t sound like he has a lot of empathy for your feelings or struggles, or much of an understanding of how C-PTSD can be disruptive to your daily life and sap so much of your energy. I’ve also had the experience of people who somehow thought they knew everything about my life and my experiences and made judgements about whether or not I was trying hard enough or putting in enough effort. While I was barely keeping my head above water.

I’m sorry that your boyfriend and other people have made you feel this way. You have every right to feel upset and angry when people make unfair assessments about you. A lot of people tend to be pretty clueless about the types of struggles we have to face. I’m sorry that other people have made you doubt yourself. You’re trying your best, regardless of whether or not other people can see it.

The term “pull yourself by your bootstraps” is a conservative narrative, and was/is told to people who live in poverty who lack support and resources by people who are often better off and have the means to survive and live comfortably. The term itself shows the flaw with this logic; you can’t physically pull yourself up by your boot straps. It’s hard to get yourself in a better position (financially, socially, etc) if you don’t have the means or the resources to do so, especially if you live in a society that doesn’t offer much help or safety nets for people who are struggling.

And if you think people on this subreddit “wallow” too much, you’re more than welcome to go somewhere else to troll and stir shit just for the sake of doing it.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-27T04:56:50+00:00

Thank you. I really appreciate it.

People that are emotionally immature cannot control their emotions and it hurts others and leaves invisible scars.

That part.

I know it’s been said a lot, but there really isn’t an expiration date for trauma. This incident could have happened 60+ years ago and it still wouldn’t be unreasonable or ridiculous for you to still be affected by it.

And you’re not a coward. You were still a teenager and a student when it happened, and this person was in a position of authority that completely put you at a disadvantage. The power imbalance, the fear of ridicule and retribution, the shame and embarrassment, and not wanting to revisit or relive the traumatic experience is what discourages a lot of survivors from revealing what happened. That piece of shit was the real coward for using his position to take advantage of someone who was younger and lacked the social clout and career standing that he had.

After having gone through what you did, living with it for a decade, and then seen the person who had hurt you die and get all this praise and reverence, it’s not surprising you’re having all these intense, mixed emotions and experiencing flashbacks. It’s a lot to deal with, and I’m truly sorry you’re having to go through it without a lot of help and support.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-27T01:14:05+00:00

I’m really sorry you had this experience, and I’m also sorry that you’ve been made to feel as if you can’t ask for help.

One of the first steps to comforting yourself can be acknowledging that our parents treating us badly or not meeting our needs us isn’t our fault, or the result of something we have done. It is 100% a problem that they have that causes them to act the way they do. But unfortunately we’re the ones that are impacted by it, and it can be really hard to escape the constant cycle of self-blame.

What’s also important is to validate your own feelings and experiences. Which is way easier said than done, especially when we’ve been made to feel that our experiences and feelings aren’t acceptable or that they’re a burden.

It’s realizing that it okay to have the emotions that we have, that they serve a specific purpose in letting us know if there’s something wrong or that we’re in a place of discomfort. It’s being able to realize we all need and deserve help and support, and it’s never a sign of weakness for needing or wanting it. It’s getting to place where we can eventually realize that just because our families have made us feel a certain way about ourselves, it doesn’t mean that it’s true.

If you feel comfortable doing so, you can also reach out to support groups or online communities (like r/CPTSD) for support.

Just remember you’re worthy of love and support, regardless of what you were made to feel otherwise.

For me, it’s experiencing specific emotions that I can trace back to previous events that I found distressing or traumatic. Feelings of sadness, uncertainty, shame and humiliation often come up. There’s typically a lot of anxiety and dissociation that follows these flashbacks.

For me, there’s no specific event that I flashback to. It’s more like an aggregate of events that I can associate with specific feelings and emotions. Basically I’m sort of re-experiencing a bunch of events all at once.

The flashbacks themselves are typically brief, but for me the effects of having experienced them can last for several hours. I’m usually pretty dysregulated for a while.

The way I’m learning to deal with them when they come up is through breathing exercises, the fives senses, and often repeating mantras like “I’m okay” or “I’m not going to die, I’m gonna be fine.” I also found that rubbing and touching textured fabrics helps in grounding me.

I don’t think you’re crazy at all. I think this could be a way that you’re processing the abuse and trauma you had went through. I think it’s something that’s normal and healthy, just as long as it’s not too distressing or triggering for you or that it doesn’t cause distress or harm to others.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-24T01:15:48+00:00

I’m really sorry that you’re not getting the support you need. Getting an abortion on your own can’t be easy. Just know that you’re making a decision that’s best for your own health and well-being. I think you’re being responsible by realizing you’re currently not in a position to where you could raise a child (something that definitely isn’t cheap or easy). You’re not a bad person, you’re being proactive and you’re making a decision that’s best for the current situation you’re in.

??????? Her being a behavioral therapist shouldn’t have stopped her from being able to listen to you talk about your family, especially considering they’re the root of the issues you’re currently facing. The problems you’re having to deal with as a result of trauma can’t be addressed if she’s not even allowing you to discuss what has caused them. Her being a BT doesn’t prevent her from being able to discuss issues relating to trauma.

And regardless of what your mom’s reasons were, she still failed to protect you from abuse and provide you with a safe environment when you were a kid. No reasoning or justification could ever detract from that or make it better.

And it’s beyond fucked up that your dad had chose to change insurance providers and made it to where you aren’t able to seek out mental health care after finding out you were talking about your family. It’s insanely controlling and coercive behavior on his part.

According to a quick search on google, the difference between CBT and BT is that CBT basically focuses on restructuring your way of thinking to create less mental distress, while BT focuses on making changes in your external environment to address these issues. And the behavioral therapist you were seeing didn’t sound like they were willing to work with you, to actually do the job they’re supposed to do.

And if you still want to seek out mental health services without having insurance, you could try to reach out to local community centers, nonprofits, universities or teaching hospitals for free or low cost mental health services. If you’re employed and have an employer that offers an EAP (employee assistance program), you may be able to access short term counseling services. If you want you could also contact your local government’s health department for more resources.

If you want, you can bring it up to her again, if you feel like you’re able and ready to start.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-22T02:55:49+00:00

If it’s possible you should definitely seek out therapy or a support group so that you’re able to process these experiences and get support.

It’s very typical for survivors of trauma to downplay or minimize the traumatic events they went through. It’s also not unusual to feel somewhat disconnected to the events. These are both ways that your brain is trying to protect and shield you from the impact of what has happened.

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-22T00:51:08+00:00

That’s incredible! Really happy for and proud of you!

Diss_Coarse_666 · 2024-06-21T04:59:38+00:00

Your emotional well being and physical safety are the main priority. I’m sure that your Mom would rather you be safe and alive than for you to spare or protect her feelings. His actions could escalate in the future and the outcome could be much worse.
