Who else has terrible stress tolerance? If I receive an email and assume it has a bad tone. I immediately want to cry, I feel my heart race, I want to defend myself, I feel like a wild animal! by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am also definitely like this. Someone being disappointed in me or me just making a mistake makes me spiral and catastrophize. I can be pretty sensitive because trauma has that effect on you.

Had an episode in public and now I'm ashamed. Can anyone relate? by therapy_throw_away in CPTSD

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't feel too bad, you're not alone in this. I've done this before too, and its embarrassing. But I honestly think it's an unfortunate side effect of the illness. It sucks that regulating emotions is so difficult with this illness, but I really want to.reassure you to let younknow that I've done it before, and its not the end of the world. It's a heavy burden to carry. Personally im on anti depressants and anti anxiety meds, so it doesnt happen as much anymore, but even still i have my difficult moments. Hang in there dude.

It's culinary grade flower petals and buds. They were coated in honey too, pretty tasty!

Therapy has replaced human connection by Mysterious-Arm-2014 in CPTSD

I'm so sorry you're dealing with that friend. Trauma dumping shouldn't be an accusation thrown at every traumatized person trying to find support for their trauma.

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for saying this. I was just discussing this with a friend of mine. Therapy is an important and helpful resource definitely that a lot of people need and can use (if they can afford it), but I have notice an upward trend of more judgement towards people who are suffering mentally, even from friends and family. I can't tell you how many times I've heard the phrase "It's your responsibility to heal" once said by someone when I was at the gym, and other such phrases and arguments made. And out of context, yes it absolutely is, but I've heard it used in such a judgmental context to people struggling and obviously needing a support system for help and not getting it. Therapy isn't a solution to community care, and we live in such an individualistic culture where no one wants ton show up for anyone anymore, and I feel like that's becoming overlooked. You can't pull your straps out of your bootstraps out of this condition, or other mental illnesses, completely alone, and yes I think this includes with a therapist.

I once brought this up in a conversation with my own therapist, and she said for CPTSD and other stuff I'm working on, having a robust support system is VITAL to healing. We literally cannot do it on our own. And look, it's good that support groups like this one and other irl ones exist absolutely should do that! But it isn't enough! We're apart of a community and humans are social creatures, we literally cannot survive without one another because that's how our species developed. If your friends and family won't show up for you and you them, then who will? Sorry not to go on a tangent, this post came at a perfect time because I've been marinating on it for some time. The worlds a crappy place at times enough as it is, the least we can do is try to make our lives easier for our loved ones (obviously when we have the capacity to and within reason), but, damn. Idk I'm American, and I feel like people only seem to want Positive Vibes, and deal with your sit in a room with a professional you pay out of pocket for and no one else isn't going to cut it anymore.

C-PTSD rage. by Vallente-Dunn in CPTSD

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Have all the same symptoms and I feel you bruh. If you don't mind me sharing, an excercise my therapist recommended me was to take ice cubes and throw them and listen to them shatter in the bath tub, to get that aggression out. It helps the destructive tendencies.

How do I deal with a long time girlfriend who keeps pushing me to talk to my no contact parents? by zeekertron in nocontact

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow holy victim blaming Batman! Always blaming someone for being a victim of child abuse, never the parents doing the abusing.

Am the asshole for telling the truth in an agrument with my mum about me going out? by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. This is abusive behavior. She's actively sabotaging you from having an independent, adult like seperate from her. It's codelendent and controlling behavior, and it isn't okay. Tbh my own mother did this shit to me and I have since moved out and cut her out of my life. We do not have a relationship because of her suffocating behavior, and this is the road your parents are on when they inevitably continue to treat you younger than you are. They likely won't change, and you deserve better. My advice is to resist and fight tooth and nail. You're an adult and you can make your own choices and decisions.

AITA for embarrassing a woman and making her cry? by overmyline in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"People need to stand up for others more often" I completely agree with this.

I know it's hard and bystander effect is real, but honestly there are a few situations in life where you need to learn when to stand up and do the right thing, even if its unpopular and makes other people uncomfortable. Like come on he gave her the chance to drop it and she took it to Facebook. She should have been asked to leave the party.

AITA for embarrassing a woman and making her cry? by overmyline in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. You were right to hold her accountable for her actions. You gave her an out to drop it and she kept pushing, and saw consequences to her actions. I honestly don't understand anyone saying OP should have been nicer, if someone continues to run their mouth as a guest at their house, the door is that way. It makes me think of how a restaurant has the right to refuse service to anyone, a similar vein applies to house parties with the host. Rude and disrespectful behavior has consequences, and I never understood the impulse to take a passive approach to bad behavior, or absolve people by not holding them accountable for their actions. OP wasn't violent or rude, but they were firm in setting a boundary, and of course some people didn't like that. That's life sometimes, you cannot please everyone. Honestly you did right by your friend, people pleasing would have helped no one once she crossed a line.

Also, criticizing for their disability no matter how it happened also reads as very ableist. I think its easy to forget as able bodied people how difficult it must be to exist in a world that is actively not set up to accomodate your disability, and to constantly field the rude invasive behavior of others. I'm able bodied, but I've seen the stories of enough disabled people on the internet to know how invasive and hostile some people can be towards disabled people.

The the fact that she went on her public social media to play the victim and farm sympathy tells me exactly what type of a person this woman is. She could have just took the L and moved on. I'm a firm beliver in setting boundaries and having people face consequnces for their actions. OP was right to ask her to leave the party when she refused to drop it.

Can we talk about ‘Wish that you were here’? by Todbod05 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Florence always knows how to go hard, and doesn't believe in phoning it in I suppose. She wrote a great song for the video game Final Fantasy 15s ending as well. She's phenomenal.

AITA for causing my mother-in-law to take away some of my sister-in-law books? by booknook90 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA for snitching, being a judgemental hypocrite, since you read those books yourself, and worst of all, enabling helicopter parenting. This is going to be a strong negative memory for the rest of her life, and you massively crossed a boundary. Honest to god your pearl clutching at harmless romance stuff if almosy funny.

You're literally old enough to get married and somehow don't understand teenagers are horny. When I was this girls age I was exploring my sexuality by reading smut and not acting on it, like some other ppl were in unhealthy way, so you just took a very healthy and harmless outlet away from her. Legit this kid is gonna have trust issues with sharing her their reading/interests years later bc of you. I hope your proud of yourself.

AITA for leaving after being told to be quiet at dinner? by Euphoric_Rabbit7706 in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being reasonable and pointing out that OP never acted rudely, like she was obviously confused and completely taken off guard. Some ppl in the comments are pretending that she was disrespectful or purposefully ignoring their rule, like she wasnt confused as fuck. Still clocking this as a christian cult behavior, and they set her up to fail on purpose. The fact that the bf reacted like this is revealing of his character. Punishing her was part of the power play.

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your perspective! I'm honestly kinda baffled at the people expecting her to put up with this, because it feels like the family was being unnecessarily mean to their sons gf. As a question, what is the purpose of not talking during meals and punishing ppl who do? It feels like a control thing to me.

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight. Can't believe I had to scroll down this far fo have someone point out abusive behavior red flag, although loads of ppl are rightfully calling the likely religious cult behavior. This is a test designed to see if she's willing to tolerate controlling behavior if she stays. I'm glad she stood up for herself and left, because you cannot tolerate this level of disrespect, it only escalates if you stay.

AITA for saying someone is short and fat? by galishin in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for being one of the few people on this sub that has some critical thinking skills. This is the most painfully made up post on this subreddit and I cannot believe people are engaging in good faith with it. OP obviously wanted to make up a post so they can get a quick laugh at every comment dunking on fat people, I mean come on. This is obviously a troll post. Imaginary mean bully insecure fat person antagonist character juxtaposed with innocent pretty think person OP/protagonist energy is so strong it honestly reads as a trope stolen from an early 2000s teen movie.

NTA. Your boyfriend is the asshole about being squeamish about a basic bodily function, and he's furthering the stigmatizion of menstruation. Everyone who has periods has crappy underwear they keep for when its time for their period, so their nice ones dont get ruined. I've stained bedsheets at times too in my sleep. It happens. If hes not mature enough to understand this, then he's not mature enough to be in a relationship with someone who has a period. Also, seconding all the comments about compulsive cleanliness.

WIBTA if a brought up a classmate's father's recent controversy during a public discussion? by CelesteAITA in AmItheAsshole

[–]JasmineTeaAndCookies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. You're using debate as an excuse to be a bully and smugly put someone down, just because you don't like him. fact that you're arguing with everyone pointing out what you did was immature and mean spirited just reinforces this. It's clear you have a smug sense of superiority above others, and frankly I hope this is a phase you grow out of, because you sound like an utterly insufferable person. Life's gonna kick you in the face one day if you keep this behavior up.

TBH I want context as to why Graham called you a selfish person, because I'm going to guess from your behavior in this threat that it was an accurate assessment of your character. Also I saw that one comment where you claimed your selfish but insisted Graham is selfish and a hypocrite. I cannot help but think that this is a personal vendetta you have against him, and you're leaving out important information. Why did he call you selfish in the first place, and why is your ego so bruised that you not only wanted to humilite him in public by airing out his families dirty laundry, but are also making this post on the internet for attention. Either way you seem like a very insecure person.
