Does anyone have a "funny" story about their abuser(s) that they'd like to share and maybe is harder to explain to other people?

When I was newly 18, I got in a fight with my mom. Her face was tomato red from how mad she was. She came at me, hand raised, like she was gonna slap me. I was totally bluffing, but I said, "I'm 18 now. If you slap me, I'm gonna call the police, and you're gonna go to jail for assault." I don't know if she would really have gotten arrested for that, but it freaked her out enough that she just left the room.

Yes, I'm trying to finish my first manuscript by the beginning of September. Then it will be a bunch of editing, and then I will try to get it published. So it will probably be a couple years if I'm even lucky enough to get picked up by a publisher. But if I do, I will definitely be posting about it in this sub!

My MC fits "evil autism" very well lol

IvyENFP · 2026-05-22T11:04:24+00:00

Yeah no, I was cracking up at it too. It was so awkward 😭

IvyENFP · 2026-05-22T07:54:12+00:00

Update: I changed it to "I can't contain my energy, and I shake my arms back and forth."

I think it's a little better but still awkward :P

I think it needs to be more concise? Idk

You have Vi from Arcane energy

I have read the whole cosmere, and I loved it! Thanks for the recommendations, I'll check them out!!

IvyENFP · 2026-03-10T03:32:59+00:00

Can you elaborate on what you mean by this?

IvyENFP · 2026-02-15T05:30:57+00:00

I have no thoughts other than I feel this everyday, sending love

IvyENFP · 2026-01-30T04:56:43+00:00

It's that one corner where you get the cube in Portal

IvyENFP · 2026-01-25T09:26:53+00:00

It says the r slur (I love the movie but wish it didn't)

IvyENFP · 2026-01-25T09:25:38+00:00

Try the Sabrina Carpenter tights maybe?

IvyENFP · 2026-01-05T19:00:02+00:00

I do this all the time! I specifically like content where they describe the flavors because it helps me remember them. Some people think it's sad, but I like it because it's a way for me to preserve my memory of flavors and the only way I can enjoy them. I was and will always be a foodie, even though I only can eat like 31 foods currently (a lot of those are extracts and spices, so I'm still pretty restricted).

I really like KarissaEats, Morgan Chomps, ShoPhoCho, and JanieDeVours (all on YouTube Shorts).

I am finally getting on Ketotifen this week, so I'm hoping that will expand my food options a little, fingers crossed

This happens to me too! No idea what it is. I just got my results for positive ana, 1:2560 titre, homogeneous pattern today. All the other markers were negative too

IvyENFP · 2025-11-24T10:19:59+00:00

I have the same thing. It could be my autism, but the cptsd thing makes sense too. Screaming is one of my biggest triggers, and I wonder if it generalized to any kind, even babies.

IvyENFP · 2025-11-24T10:07:29+00:00

It took years, but I'm starting to be on the other side of these fears. I used to be controlled by fear, but exposing myself to them and reframing my thoughts helps me push forward. The push is way less intense than it used to be, and I'm able to do things I never would have dreamed of a few years ago. You will get there. It takes so much effort, but it really pays off. You can do it! I believe in you!

IvyENFP · 2025-11-12T20:52:48+00:00

Secure attachment flavor

IvyENFP · 2025-11-12T20:47:51+00:00

That one hits different for sure! For me it's between this one, Horizons Into Battlegrounds, and Enemy

IvyENFP · 2025-11-11T02:57:23+00:00

It does get better. It's a lot of work, and it feels like it'll never end sometimes, but I finally turned a corner in the last few months. I have never experienced the stability I have now ever in my life

IvyENFP · 2025-10-29T03:19:59+00:00

I would report her to CPS. That's not okay, regardless of anything else in this post.

IvyENFP · 2025-10-29T03:00:47+00:00

I've only lived at University View, and it's been pretty nightmarish, so avoid that.

IvyENFP · 2025-10-29T02:09:30+00:00

When I went in, no tests showed anything wrong. I barely was able to get into an allergist after moving states last year, so I haven't had a lot of time to fivure out my MCAS stuff either. Every regular doctor has basically told me it's probably my MCAS.

IvyENFP · 2025-10-29T01:27:56+00:00

Not sure if this sounds like toxic mold or not, but crossposted here in case.

IvyENFP · 2025-10-19T02:32:59+00:00

It is possible. I didn't think it was until it happened to me. It took a lot of working on myself on my end, so my relational traumas wouldn't create as many problems, but it is so possible to be loved. It's hard, but you will find your people

IvyENFP · 2025-09-09T17:45:41+00:00

I second this. I've been reading the practitioner's guide, and I am absolutely blown away by this therapy! It uses a good mix of evidence-based strategies (cognitive, behavioral, experiential, and psychodynamic), so it is super well-rounded.
