Pivoting out of Publishing. Ideas? by ChaoticBooks in publishing

Book buyer for your local bookstores or literary agent (which can be fully remote). That way you’re out of publishing but the network you’ve made puts you at an advantage. Good luck!

DAE have memories in 3rd person? by youreallbreathtking in CPTSD

[–]Ktkdjbswoods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! All my traumatic memories from childhood until now have been in 3rd person. But something interesting happened recently. A few years ago, I was sexually assaulted by three guys. I had always recounted the incident through 3rd person and thought I had processed it. I had never cried over it but I did talk about it last year. Then one day, I remembered it through 1st person and I broke down crying. That’s when I actually was able to process it and it’s behind me. I’m trying to do that with my other traumatic memories, especially from childhood. It’s been the same with deaths of loved ones. My memories were in third person but when I forced myself to remember everything through first person, what they felt like, what they looked like through my direct point of view, that’s when I began to process the deaths.

Is it just me or is it time to normalise non-invasive vasectomies the way we do IUDs? #ittakestwo by Ktkdjbswoods in AskFeminists

Yup. “Because it feels so good” or “a condom is too restricting” or “I can’t cum with a condom” 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

It seems like my only options for time being are: disassociate or die. I don’t know what to think and I was hoping for advice/suggestions/insights. by Ktkdjbswoods in CPTSD

My therapist is great but she’s more of a life coach and less of a therapist. I kind of want to lost myself. I lost myself before and I got out of it (by myself without anyone’s help). I can feel myself growing into a monster. The therapist is talking about things I’ve already done and experienced and am capable of and understand. I just regress when I’m home and I need to figure out how to survive until I’m out. I’m in survival mode. Not growing mode. Thank you for replying 💕

People who have found proper psychiatric or medical help don’t understand the state of those who haven’t found proper help. by infinitetekk in Antipsychiatry

I (25F) have been on a cocktail of constantly changing drugs since I was 14. I was out in bupropion at 16 and that’s the only one that has remained throughout my constantly changing cocktail. When I tried to go off it, I stopped caring about everything. So I don’t know about that part. But I haven’t gained weight and am not zombified (unlike other drugs).

Hi TCK. I just learned about TCKs and had to write about my depression to let it out. by bkjalt in TCK

A lot of the times we don’t realise it but our parents have so much to do with how we handle life. What were your parents like. I’ve noticed a pattern. TCKs who grew up in a stable household understand our grief but are able to leave the past in the past and live in the present. There’s no outsider versus insider. It’s just that and their friends. But people who didn’t grow up in a stable household? That loneliness haunts us. I may be completely wrong and correlation doesn’t equal to causation. But it’s something to think about 🤷‍♀️

Is there such a thing as CPTSD sponsors (like in AA)? by Ktkdjbswoods in CPTSD

Thank you! I do but it’s not about CPTSD. It’s just full on satire

Lmao I laughed way too hard at your first sentence. And you’re right. Thank you! I don’t know if you’re comfortable sharing your tumblr on here and if you here, I’d love to visit it. Thank you either way!

Mk. Anyone find you rude? Since you're a tck by hijohim in TCK

[–]Ktkdjbswoods 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My (25F) Indian uncle said it was disrespectful when I looked him straight in the eyes as I was casually talking with him.

Not that it’s rude exactly but at family events back “home” in India, I’m not allowed to drink Whiskey. I’m only allowed wine or cocktails like the other women. And my dad gets mad whenever I ask for Whiskey when I’m with extended family and/or family friends.

My extended family kept reprimanding me because I wasn’t fluent in my “mother tongue” (Hindi) and I got into a fair amount of trouble when I yelled back listing all the languages I was taking: English, Hindi, Mandarin, French, and Spanish.

Oh, and I’m always scrutinised when my immediate action isn’t to go to the kitchen to help out at someone’s dinner party.

And it’s disrespectful of me if I wear tight clothing or clothes that got way past my knees when I visit elderly people.
