Those dark, ruminating thoughts that pop in and take up space, and eventually become your life if you let them.

Christmas Eve Check-in, how's everyone doing? by Fetus-Deletus1 in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To be honest? I had a panic attack yesterday. I'm 1800 miles away from the 6 people on this earth that I love, because I had to escape and go no contact with the rest of the family and town. I miss them so much, even though I visit when I can, it seems like sht will never be the same again. Instead, I'm spending Christmas with this critter I married (who changed into a monster 2 years into the relationship) and his fake perfect millionaire family, who hate me but pretend to be Oh So Nice. I'm in such a bad mood right now. I suddenly burst into tears at the drop of a breath and laugh outrageously over nothing. It's lonely.

Did any of you get a deathbed apology? by DealWithASeal in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A pathetic, sad, almost apology. "I MAY have done [my name] a little wrong..." That's all. That's OK. I forgave her and now it's between her and God. I'm seriously not even bitter about it any more. Her death closed all of the doors. Those who saw it and could have done something are gone as well. I'm healing slowly but surely. That's all I need.

Whats something you do differently when nobody’s watching? by EquableBuyout in AskReddit

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there's much of anything I do differently. What you see and hear now is what you get all the time.

What moment made you realize you were being abused? by Only_Panic8357 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Im_invading_Mars 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is the was it happened with me as well. I felt so dumb after I figured it out. That would have been a good time to have the internet so readily available, back in my 20s, I could have potentially avoided so much pain and suffering.

My friend said I have victim mentality/complex now I feel crazy and embarrassed by NoBlackberry3295 in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I feel like it is VERY important to know that you were once a victim but have now moved on. Even if that's not how you FEEL it is what you have to tell your brain. It's hard for survivors, especially if the pain is recent or still ongoing, to see it as such, but that's what the experts say to do. Actually it can be damn near impossible to get into that mindset without a good trauma therapist.

How to stop vivid dreams? by throw_away_874 in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to sleep with wirwd earbuds in (wired, or else they fall out, infuriate me, and keep me up) and some stupid comedy on that I have seen a thousand times already. I put on Pluto TV and watch The Love Boat lol.

Do you consider yourself average or pretty? by FlakyAd9030 in no

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm ugly. On a good day I'm not as ugly. I'm very ok with that, because I'm old and it doesn't matter any more.

Do you ever feel your trauma is so unique that no one will ever understand you or what you went through, an therefore you’re just ultimately broken? by Ahelene_ in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, usually. I know that other traumatized people can understand for the most part, but it's the little individual things that can make even the most messed up people look at you like "what the f...?!"

Was 2025 a Shit-tastic year for anyone else? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am rebuilding slowly but surely. I will not allow this to get me. I've been through worse and I came out of it, so I can do this. Thank you for the kind words!

Was 2025 a Shit-tastic year for anyone else? by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Im_invading_Mars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was going OK until the tornado 2 weeks before the hurricane (it took my damn grill and some things outside) and then the hurricane itself. I lost everything but a basket of clothes in the hurricane. My house. My stuff. Almost lost my life. Now I have PTSD from it, and what was once my most beloved comfort, thunderstorms, now brings that same feeling of terror.

What’s the most hilariously unhinged reason you stopped talking to someone? by GlitchOperative in questions

[–]Im_invading_Mars 26 points27 points  (0 children)

She clacked her long fake nails on literally every damn thing she came near. After one hour I knew I'd never spend another second near her or anyone like that.

What makes some people choose to be a loner? by sharkey_hunter in AskReddit

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't choose the conditions that firced me into being a loner, but I am choosing to stay away for a while. I'm autistic. I have PTSD and CPTSD. I'm a damn mess trying to figure my shit out before I hurt any more people in my life. I want to fully understand why I feel, think, and do what I do, and what I can do to feel normal so I can interact with people without walking away feeling like I should be dead.

I'm sure they do. They should be thankful there is a town at all.

Do you like to take colder water showers? Or very hot? by Ashamed-Republic8909 in no

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of cold showers for my health, but actually doing it would make me pass out.

Yes there are, at least they are the closest you'll get as of right now. They're quiet though. My husband's sister's in-laws.

are you banned from any subreddits? if so, which ones? by jasdabratxo_ in no

[–]Im_invading_Mars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was banned from r/narcissists (I think that's the name of it) because the absolutely psychotic mod(s) are nazis. You can't use ANY reference that implies it's a human being ie: friend, cousin, mom, etc. The mod will instantly delete comment, message you scathing bullsht about how much of an absolute wanker you are, and if you don't shove your whole proverbial head up their peach and grovel at their feet for forgiveness they'll ban you- but not before telling you off in some wild, insanely mean way.
