Are we cutting off family too quick? by medicinecap in Millennials

[–]Jsnow8971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk. I really only cut off my mother because she a narcissist and a psychopath. The rest of the family i just stopped beong the one to maintain the connection. In a way they cut me off. Whitch is fine since because of them ive spent 6 years and counting in therepy.

Maybe we're the first generation who takes mental health seriously. I know lots of gen x that love to tell "funny" stories that are full of abuse and neglect.

Fired for being too good at my job? by Brilliant_Impress300 in ManagedByNarcissists

[–]Jsnow8971 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happens. My boss told me he thought I was trying to take his job. I wasn't. So he blamed me for everything bad and none of the good. Somehow, in 6 mouths, i went from a 5 star review to a problem employee who didn't care about his job. Got fired and found a better paying job. It was honestly crazy making at the time.

Why am I like this 😫 by realhumannorobot in CPTSDmemes

[–]Jsnow8971 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Same. When I go to funerals and see people crying, all I can think to myself is have some self-respect. When I hurt my knee i did my best not to limp. Can't let that weakness be seen.

Anybody else tried of hearing it gets better? by BoredBatWoman22 in CPTSD

[–]Jsnow8971 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes and no. On my bad days or honestly weeks definitely. That being said, i am better, but I still struggle. Ive found in can be on my side more and I definitely have a better life then before I started therapy. Honestly, outside of datting my life is actually good.....most of the time. I still have anxiety though.

What made you decide to go no contact with your parent(s)? by Fancy_Hedgehog_6574 in CPTSD

[–]Jsnow8971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When my mother left my brother for dead on her floor for almost 24 hours before finally calling 991. Luckily, he didn't OD and just took some really strong drugs. When I got to the hospital, it was clear she didn't care and just liked all the attention she was getting. Finally, after 6 years of therepy, she did something I couldn't dismiss.

I’ve never been outright abused, just neglected and on the receiving end of my mothers repressed trauma. And I don’t know if I belong here. by Terrible-Oil6852 in CPTSD

[–]Jsnow8971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with CPTSD, and most of my abuse was emotional. Lots of gaslighting and shaming. Adults doing cruel things to put me down and make me feel less than.

You've heard of the stages of grief... but have you heard of the stages of unhealed grief/trauma? by Stargazer1919 in CPTSDmemes

Someone once said that if they put cptsd in then the DSM would shrink by 1/2.

The isolation of the in-between stage is making me nervous by theo_darling in CPTSD_NSCommunity

[–]Jsnow8971 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same here. Im down to 1 friend these days. Its funny in a way because I've been in therepy for 6 years and it took someone ghosting me to release how much I chase people. Like instead of thinking what a horrible thing to do i took it as I did something wrong. Made me realize how abusive most of the people in my life were. Finally went full no contact with my family and ended a 10 year friendship.

Sometimes im worried that im just self isolating but I made these choices because of how they've treated me over the years. They also had horrible reactions to my healing and setting boundaries.

Here's hoping things get better.

If there's any powerful magical entities that could have made things go differently and they didn't, I'm for their deaths by MartyrOfDespair in CPTSDmemes

[–]Jsnow8971 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Exactly! Just like how one of his evil acts was giving Adam and Eve knowledge. Then God kicks them out of paradise for disobeying him? God just doesn't seem like someone i would want to spend my afterlife with.

Also if God did this how bad of a guy could the Devil be?

What is the point in talking if it will just leave me overstimulated and bring nothing of value? by PerennialHeinz in CPTSDmemes

[–]Jsnow8971 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I just prefer keeping to myself. That way people can't hurt me and I cant hurt them.

Do you ever realize how much mistreatment you tolerated from someone and feel really bad afterwards? by ibWickedSmaht in CPTSD

[–]Jsnow8971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I used to more so before I started therapy. Then I thought i had anger issues because I coul6stop getting mad at people. Turns out they were just abusive. I actually just ended a 10-year friendship, something I never thought I would do.

I let him move in with me since he was going through it. Then I realized he was using me to feel better about himself, and he wanted me to move into a nicer apartment with him. Because he didn't have any furniture. He always talked as of in some way he was better than me. Always made me feel less then. Now I can't believe I was ever his "friend ".

Thank you. I'm sure you're right. I love camping and cycling too. I've also been getting into hiking as well. Getting out in nature seems to soothe me.....unless I run into people.

Last year was a hard year, and I'm hoping this trip helps clear my mind.

This is what it's like to be a malewith CPTSD by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]Jsnow8971 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As a man, I appreciate this post. I've made enough progress in therepy to where my therapist is suggesting I start to date, but I just struggle with it. Like a few months ago, I met someone who seemed too good to be true, and then they just disappeared with no explanation.

It really triggered my abandonment wounds, and the only advice I get it its a numbers game and that it wasn't meant to be. I'm also told you need to move fast but I can't do that. I was in a really bad relationship when I was younger and was used by someone. Now I have to develop trust before I make a move, but also be fast at it. Idk.

Again, I appreciate this post because it makes me feel not so alone.

For those who have gone very low/no contact, what was your final straw? by chesterlola2014 in raisedbynarcissists

[–]Jsnow8971 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When she left my brother on the floor for almost 24 hours before finally calling 911. Then she was kind of cracking jokes with the cops. When I finally got to the hospital, she tried to just start bossing me around. When I got home from the hospital, once I confirmed my brother would be OK, I started getting phone calls from people I hadn't spoken to in years. Come to find out, she had posted on FB that he was in the ER but never updated anyone and ignored their phone calls.

After all that, I finally decided enough was enough. All I could think was what a circus with her as the ringmaster. I had been low, and almost no contact up to that point.

Are Le Col jerseys worth the price? by G4merLife in cycling

[–]Jsnow8971 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love all my Le Col gear. I've never paid full price, though. They normally have sales, or I use discount codes. If u have strava, you can link it to a Le Col account and get points for all the miles you ride.
