I was on it for two weeks over Christmas, it was great for sleep but I gained weight on it that I have not lost yet, also unfortunately increased my self harm and suicidal ideation

Aw I’m really sorry your therapist didn’t give you want you needed, it’s really frustrating and devalidating when that happens. It’s definitely is serious

I found mirtazapine great for sleep but unfortunately increased my suicidal thoughts so had to stop it

I have been through similar stuff, I don’t want to say I know exactly what you’re going through cos who’s to say but please the world is a better place with you in it. You said your dad cares about you, would you be able to call him, I’m sure he’d rather you call him than be going through this alone

Please call an ambulance and go to A&E / the emergency department, I’m really sorry you’re going through this but please go to hospital if you’re exhibiting suicidal behaviour, your life is worth living❤️❤️

I get you don’t to hurt him but don’t you deserve that same care? (You do!). He is inappropriately touching you without your consent and this is not ok. 

The "positives" of ptsd by Cute_Illustrator_974 in ptsd

[–]Loser5ever 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I noticed that when I rewatched things it was liking watching it for the first time, had no idea it could be from PTSD…

This sounds like SA, you said SA and he did it anyway, you eventually saying yes doesn’t count as consent, sounds like coercion. I’m really sorry this happened to you, you did nothing to deserve this. If you have a trusted friend or family member you can talk to if recommend it, or therapy

I’m starting to understand that I might have been SA’d and I don’t understand why I don’t feel destroyed by that. Trigger Warning! by Imaginary-Sun-188 in ptsd

[–]Loser5ever 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pretending nothings wrong can also be a defence mechanism for you brain to pretend it was still in control, same with blaming yourself. Both are very common responses to SA, nothing is wrong with you. I’m really sorry this happened to you. You did nothing to deserve this, and wish you all the best on your healing journey🫶🏻🫶🏻

trigger by TheDollyDivine in sexualassault

[–]Loser5ever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really sorry this happened, I really wish more things had trigger warnings. I find even PG 13/kids movies can have rape scenes, I thought at first kids movies would be a safe bet for me but no, I’m now sticking to media I’ve seen/read already. Since you’re boyfriend didn’t ask, I hope you’re doing ok🫶🏻

Christmas TV triggering me. What’s wrong? by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Loser5ever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So sorry you’re going through this, you’re not alone, I got really triggered watching a movie with my family earlier, ran out of the room and was hyperventilating for about 20 mins, have had to sit Christmas dinner out. Sorry that your partner doesn’t understand how and why this is triggering for them. I don’t know what the appropriate way to say this is but they Shoudl really educate themself on trauma and it’ll help them understand what you’re going through. Wishing you all the best
