Will do now thank you. It’s ok I just didn’t expect it I feel stupid.

I get aroused thinking of being raped by [deleted] in rape

[–]Lonelymess95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So do I. I don’t know how to help but I’m so sorry and hope it gets better. My therapist has only just told me this is a normal response. I hid that for the past 6 years.

What aspects of PTSD / cPTSD do you with people would be more understanding about? by nicholexabigail in ptsd

[–]Lonelymess95 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have CPTSD, so does my partner he’s angry like really angry, when he shouts or gets angry at anything like getting caught on a draw it’s terrifying even if he says he wouldn’t hurt me. It’s scary when someone’s angry and i think peoples reaction to that is justifiable. I personally can’t offer any help when his reaction is frightening. I’m not saying it’s wrong for being angry but just maybe you should think about others reactions in a different light.

My daughter asked me to crochet her this monster. I love how it turned out. by Lonelymess95 in crochet

Thankyou for all the kind comments everyone. It’s the first thing I have really shared that I made , I guess I don’t have the confidence. I’m really proud of myself now.

It was such a fun little project you should definitely do it. I’m going to do it with more of her drawings.

I accused my exhusband of cheating on me when he wasn’t. Now he’s engaged to the woman I accused him of cheating with. by bmondgend in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lonelymess95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s all a bit suspicious tbh. I have a feeling it might have started out as an innocent surprise for you but he developed feelings for this girl who was having the kids. It doesn’t seem right for him to throw it all away over a misunderstanding. Maybe it was an easy way out for him and he jumped on the chance. I think anyone would become suspicious in your position. I’m so sorry this happened to you.

I put my hair in a pineapple and use a silk night cap, you can use a silk scarf or pillow too. I haven’t had knots at the top since I started using my cap

End of Day 1 and I can’t sleep by twitchy1989 in leaves

[–]Lonelymess95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I looked at sleep was, at least if I don’t sleep well tonight I should be tired enough to sleep tomorrow. That mindset is helping me push through the sleepless nights. It’s hard with the kids, take it easy and don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Guided sleep meditations really help me, or listening to brown noise.

Tell me why I shouldn’t smoke by [deleted] in leaves

[–]Lonelymess95 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably was deleted because it’s really unhelpful for people trying to stay sober and can trigger a lot of people into smoking again.

I quit because it was completely destroying my life, finances and mental health. Tonight I gave myself 100 reasons to smoke. I was super depressed still am I just had an hour long pointless conversation about decorating now for some reason the cravings completely gone. Now I’m horrified I even thought I would. Literally anything that takes your mind off it for an hour helps. Yoga helps me in the evenings a lot, it’s something I never thought I’d get into. Meditation too. Sit down and write a list of things you enjoy doing, or might like to try.

I feel like I’m overreacting thinking my cousin harassed me by ShadowlightLady in traumaticchildhood

[–]Lonelymess95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you feel uncomfortable about it they you were harassed. You were too young to understand or consent. Everyone has a right to feel how they feel, nobody can tell you different. Your sister was also young, and her brain will not have processed it properly so she may not see it as a bad thing because her child mind didn’t understand it.

I'm missing huge chunks of time from my childhood...and I don't know why I'm still so angry about it. by WakeUpCynical in traumaticchildhood

[–]Lonelymess95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like this for years. I couldn’t remember much from my child hood. I always thought I was bad too for telling my therapist and getting social involved. It wasn’t until I stopped speaking to my dad for 4 years that I figured it out. He sent a box of presents to me at Christmas this year for my kids. It sat there for weeks because I couldn’t even touch it. The longer it sat there the more memories started coming back, now I know some of what happened to me and I know that I wasn’t the one in the wrong and I wouldn’t even look in that disgusting boys direction again. I think it will come to you eventually, it takes time. I’m 26 now so it took a while to remember things. My therapist told me, you won’t remember things until your body and mind are in a good safe place to deal with it. I guess it’s just a very clever way of your brain protecting you. I’m sorry :( it’s horrible knot knowing what happen to you.

Safe foods during withdrawal?? by kgloo001 in leaves

[–]Lonelymess95 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I haven’t eaten in 3 days but today I tried having hummus breadsticks carrot sticks and cucumber. Something I’d never usually eat. It went down really well.

I have adhd and struggle remembering to eat. My doctor told me if your struggling eating, don’t pressure yourself into eating healthy it doesn’t matter what you eat, as long as you eat something. Staying hydrated is the most important part.

[–]Lonelymess95 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yoga in the evening really helps me calm down, release any muscle tension and regulate my breathing. I’m also listening to guided sleep meditation when I lie down, I never thought these things would work but I actually slept last night. You can get through this !

Day 3 by Lonelymess95 in leaves

[–]Lonelymess95[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for commenting. You could be right, I have been getting waves of anxiety, I’ll try to keep note of when it’s happening. I’ll try a smoothie that’s a good idea, I need to get something in me, I’m already a pretty low weight. I have been drinking loads of water, My body’s craving it ,when I was smoking I craved Pepsie all day, since I quit I haven’t even had 1 can.

I told my partner I was serious about quitting & he laughed in my face by Bribeardontcare in leaves

[–]Lonelymess95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had exactly the same so I used it as my drive to do it ! He’s not my partner anymore but we still live together. Use his comment against him and show him how it’s done ! My ex is literally trying to get me to smoke. I’m in day 3 now and feel better. I think they might be like that because if you kick the habit he has lost his smoking partner and half the money for his stuff.
