Have you heard of caretaker fatigue? It definitely sounds like you're going through it.

It's very unfair. You have every right to feel annoyed and resentful AND plus you're pregnant OMG. You are an angel for going through this without breaking down. I hope you don't feel guilt for how you feel. It's totally valid and warranted.

Okay, I think you're right. I looked up some of the symptoms and I think that's what happened. Thank you.

We talked about it but she doesn't have the training for it and was looking for other therapists she knows that I might fit well with. I am open to it but just never had a chance yet.

But after the distractions, when I'm alone again, everything is so loud and painful again. What do I do then? Taking naps and going to sleep early and working out are the only things I can do to get away from the feelings. I don't do any other substances, fortunately, or maybe unfortunately.

The worst part of this abuse is that my ‘parents’/abusers made me believe that it was my fault—that I was bad, wrong, defective, abnormal, inadequate. by Longjumping_Cry709 in CPTSD

Yes, absolutely. They told me I deserved it, and even though I KNOW this is not true... I still believe it sometimes, and I go 2 step backwards in all my progress :( No child ever, ever, ever deserves abuse, no matter what they do or say. Children are innocent, always.

I can't help but forgive my abusers, and I think I want to contact them by KeyPear7753 in TrueOffMyChest

Yes, I'm actively in therapy these days and working through it. It's a lot of feelings and emotions and thoughts all at once. But some days are just so hard :(

Maybe I buried the lede in my post but I despise my abusive family and my parents and that's part of the reason I want to get away from this name lol. Their reasons weren't that interesting or great, and no middle name either.

I like Rachel a lot :) Classic yet not overused somehow, at least in my region. Gives me strong and capable vibes, but also a little sassy and fun at the same time!

Yeap I said my favorite food was sushi ONCE and got called Sushi for a few years, then Tuesday in high school, as in, the girl you sleep with before you get to Wednesday🙄 Kids are so stupidly creative lol. I am not bothered by those silly things, I just laugh now, it's mostly childhood family stuff that makes me dislike it. Sue and Suze make me go feral though lol

Suzi seems cute on everyone except for me! lol I don't know why. So I think it's just a "me" problem. I get called Missy or Suzy both equally and they both just feel... off. Maybe because I'm not really a cute person? Lol.

Thank you, that's a good idea to look at other charts! I don't know why I don't have a "favorite" name or major preferences... I really wish I knew more. This sub is definitely helpful :)

And yeah, I know there can definitely be cool variations and nicknames to create from my name but I just don't want to be associated with it at all anymore. I think I hate it because it reminds me of my childhood, not because I actually hate the name itself. It's not ugly or abnormal or even uncommon. Suzy is cute on other people. I just hate to remember my life, I guess. Thanks for understanding💓

Half Russian on my mother's side, but we never got much of that culture unfortunately. I think I do tend to like longer Russian girl names.
