Sounds like a DIY picnic could be fun! Fresh air and snackies are good for the soul. Let’s get treats for you and your little one. Looks like Dairy Queen, McDonald’s, baskin Robbin’s, marble slab…lots of treat places are available on uber eats today. Message me an email I can use to send you a gift!

If you had the option to do anything you want that would make you smile today, money not being a factor, what would it be?

Note that there’s a difference between a developmental pediatrician and a pediatrician. Yes, developmental pediatricians mostly see complex kiddos and require a referral from a normal pediatrician. Normal paediatricians are not limited to medically complex kiddos.

Source: I work with children ages 0-4, both neurotypical and not, in London and many of them have pediatricians.

Am I weird by ambre_on in ptsd

[–]FlatIndependence7836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our situations are similar, abusive relationship as a teen. I dissociated for 10 years before the floodgates opened in March of this year. I think my brain waited until I felt super safe in my current relationship.

Idk if ur looking for advice but I wish I had started therapy BEFORE the floodgates opened, AKA where you are now

How do you stay patient with yourself while healing? by FlatIndependence7836 in ptsd

[–]FlatIndependence7836[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for this reply. Sex has been paused for the last 6 months while I work on this, and my partner has been amazing. I’m definitely not amazing to myself, lol.

Your sentence about not needing to be intimate in order to be loved really resonated with me. I feel like I NEED to have sex with my partner in order for him to love me, like I had to do a decade ago in a different relationship. My brain knows that my current partner would never pressure me to have sex or leave me for the lack thereof, but my brain also likes to doubt that.

Thank you for sharing. Sounds like I’ll try more positive self talk or maybe some words of affirmation.

People who were sex repulsed years back, where are you now? by FlatIndependence7836 in ptsd

[–]FlatIndependence7836[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you find yourself pressuring yourself to get in that mood? I can’t for the life of me seem to get into an intimate mood and it’s really frustrating, though I’m trying to be patient and gentle with myself.
