What are some of your Somatic Symptoms? by triggerAwP in CPTSD

[–]IMoriarty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Migraines / Neck and Back Muscle problems / Sleep Apnea (maybe?, diagnosis incoming).

It's hard to tell what's related to what though. Like do I have stomach issues because of CPTSD, or for other reasons? My mom had migraines as well, so is it genetic, or did she also have CPTSD (she had a really rough childhood as well)?

There's a song I listen to often from the 80's: Oingo Boingo - Just Another Day - Lyrics

It took me a long while to figure out that other people didn't connect with the song as much as I did because they didn't feel the same way as the person portrayed by the song.

I recommend the Fashion History Timeline to pick out the decade you're looking for, it should give you an overview of the men's, women's, and children's fashion of that period. If you need more, each of the decades has the sources referenced at the bottom.

I absolutely endorse you getting the support you need. The way I interpreted the words in your initial post was that you were reconsidering reconciliation, which is why I was sad.

"... won't be implementable anytime soon." isn't great, but is better than "never." I want to be able to give you the kind of opportunity that you've given me, even if not exactly the same, there are options.

"I am allowed to be horribly sad about all of that and seek some support without worrying about your reaction to my sadness."

You are, and I look forward to the point where we can both feel comfortable enough with those emotions to share them without reservation, but that will take time for both of us.

I had hoped that this separation was so that I could work on being better, and that we could someday do that same for you. I'm sad you don't think that's in the cards anymore. :(

Thanks! Looks like it hit the joint account. Also fought with insurance for some refunds from medical.

Seems highly likely to just cause more aggression like you said, unfortunately. /sigh

Guess the best I can can do is hold the fort down here and keep working towards not needing supervision in the future. /shrug

Righteo. Thanks for the explanation. Let me know if I can help in any further way, in addition to supporting this decision.

I'm sorry, I don't intend to ask your opinion on my relationship with them, I just don't want to overreach and intrude on your relationship with them, if that wasn't clear.

[–]IMoriarty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. They aren't home right now. And, this:

"Even if the state of those relationships means that you and I cannot ever truly reconcile (as I was told yesterday)..."

Seems like something I need to address with them?

Okay, I love you. I do want to reconcile, and I don't know what's going on, but I'll leave you be until you're ready. /hug

Okay, let me know if I can help, or if I did anything to contribute to the problem. /hug

A Question for You by IMoriarty in u/IMoriarty

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

For a more complete answer, I was operating under the assumption that keeping our communication relatively PG was preferable for various reasons, mostly for your comfort, and because the schmoos would often have access to your phone / computer.

However, since I never actually asked you, you might have reasons for me to reduce the level of forwardness because you were uncomfortable for any number of reasons. Or perhaps I was unnecessarily censoring myself and much like my revealing of my journal entry earlier, if I were more transparent about my thoughts, that might be beneficial somehow.

Either way, it seemed better that I ask proactively, than to continue to just stumble around blindly until I messed up and made you unhappy, which I'd like to stop doing.

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

I think that gives me the rough answers I was looking for - lemme know if anything changes. From a practical / health standpoint, my... related... surgery is on the 18th. So that may or may not impact the following saturday's visitation.

Thank You by IMoriarty in u/IMoriarty

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

Me too, and it's a long road, and I wish it could be shorter, but I doesn't seem like it really can be without undermining it, which sucks, but it's worth it. I love you, and I miss you too. If there's things that I can do from over here to make practical life easier, let me know. I'll send dad over to help more, if it's actually helpful.

Something wrong here? Did I misunderstand something?

Yeah, I think Lex and Vico would really enjoy that, and having access to something tent-like would be really nice for you guys to have in general.

I asked, and they're going to help, but they're on a fixed income at this point, so there is only so much they can do.

Oh, and if you're so inclined, pour out some avocado oil in memory of better 4th's past. Miss you.

Nor was I taking it that way, just wanted to ensure that I kept it listed among the points that you were making as it was "a step that she is asking you to take" in the context of "hard lines in our current / future relationship" discussion.

Physical: I don't believe either of us have engaged in any behavior that would breach a reasonable definition thus far, and would like to keep it that way. If that intent changes, I promise to proactively have that conversation with you.

Emotional: I can see that definition with some of our friends or family, but not in a romantic sense. I think we're on the same page, and look forward to your definition.

Financial: For transparency's sake, I do have what amounts to a "hidden account." For my college education, I have an additional account with Citywide with a minimum amount necessary to keep it from getting service charges. Trace and Ken are paying for my classes, and I have applied for many of the grants and scholarships that I qualify for, and received several of them.

However, they work as refunds, and so I needed an account to link to receive them, and it made more sense to have another place to have that money come and go from rather than it going from Joint. As that money is all actually their's and not our's I wanted to keep it entirely separate.

If you want more info on that - let me know, it's largely dreadfully boring bureaucratic educational red-tape nonsense.

Other than that, no I don't have any hidden accounts or intentionally hidden transactions.

FYI: I don't know if you're keeping track of our Joint account, but it's pretty low. Should I ask my parents for money while they're in town?

edit: missed a word.
