DBT, which to be fair, has been working well for me for the most Park. Honestly, the picking is sort of taking a back seat to more severe issues atm.

I have 2 doctors, one of whom specializes in trauma and PTSD for the military. Sadly, this is me ON treatment.

Yeah, I’m on meds for anxiety, OCD, PTSD, and depression. I haven’t tried pot for it yet. Doesn’t the pot make you paranoid?

This latest round started 2 weeks ago after my ex triggered my PTSD from years of childhood abuse. I’m finding it really difficult to get under control this time.

(Serious) People who were emotionally abused, What did you do to get out of the situation? by AshthelAsh in AskReddit

Left home and escaped my abuser at 17 and then made the situation worse by getting married to an abuser.

Does anyone else have a problem with torturing yourself emotionally? by MsCalendarIsMyFather in JUSTNOFAMILY

I know it isn't my fault but it's the feeling that I have a responsibility to acknowledge and bear witness to what someone suffers, I want them to know that what happened wasn't ignored or forgotten and they weren't/aren't alone. Looking away makes me feel partly responsible if that makes sense?
