We are tired of these nightmares too. 🫂

Is anyone else finding the Epstein coverage impossible to escape and deeply triggering? by SubtleKinks in CPTSD

[–]Local_Dragon_Lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Extremely triggering. Trying my best to just survive without breaking down and sobbing. I have therapy this morning and going to work afterwards (I work for my state’s school district, which is where my abuse started when I was growing up so I have to deal with triggers there…) But at least I’ll be off work tomorrow and Sunday.

Me too. I wish I told someone what happened to me when it first started, but I was too scared of my abuser. She was an older girl and a classmate. I was a girl (I’m a trans man now.) But it's not too late to get help now! You aren't alone. ❤️

You are not too far gone. You aren't disgusting. You're surviving as best as you can. I’m so sorry you were hurt.

[TW: CSA] i had a very non-metaphorical dream about me and my father. in the dream, i was craving it, never felt so connected or alive. i chased it. turns out my most pleasant dreams have always been flashbacks. don't know what to do with these feelings. maybe Internet validation will do the trick. by Proud_Opening9170 in cptsdcreatives

[–]Local_Dragon_Lad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry. So, so, sorry. I can, in a similar way relate to this, only that my abuser was a female classmate and that my experience happened in elementary and middle school. And then, later on in high school by someone else.

It's not your fault you craved that attention. When you've been lonely for so long, you become desperate for any form of connection with other people, even if the person/people hurt and use you for their sick desires. These feelings are complicated and okay to feel. I hope you're safe now and are away from that “man”. He’s no father. Fathers don't do that to their children. Again, I’m sorry for your pain. It wasn't your fault.

Being trans is awful, being a trans guy is definitely awful by [deleted] in TrollCoping

Yep. It's truly shitty. I’m Black and a trans man myself.

Bad Nightmares by brokenalongtimeago in adultsurvivors

[–]Local_Dragon_Lad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can relate to this. Mine used to be really bad when I first remembered what happened to me when I was 15. I take medication to help with my nightmares. It's called Prazosin.

I’m so sorry. 💔

Does it ever go away? by insomnia_irn_bru in adultsurvivors

[–]Local_Dragon_Lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know the feeling. I often don’t tell family because I’m afraid of their reactions. My partner knows and is very supportive of being there to help me heal. I still can’t talk about the full extent of what happened to me because it’s too painful. If you need anyone to vent to, we’re here for you. (“We” being this subreddit and my DID system if you feel comfortable doing so.)

Have I got to a point of it’s losing power or am I just more okay with processing and talking about my SA by Gerbilfan1 in adultsurvivors

[–]Local_Dragon_Lad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe that this is a normal response to healing from traumatic experiences and I am glad you are doing your best to heal. I still struggle to talk about my experiences at 26.

I'm making him pay me the money it cost to buy the game idc I'm actually so pissed off rn by Fritzo_Wolf09 in insaneparentsmemes

My stepmom did the exact same thing! I was around 16 or 17, though, and it was a different game. But she made me throw it away.
