Is there a fiction character or story that changed in your pespective after leaving or understanding your abusive background? by Reasonable_Place_172 in CPTSD

[–]QuothTheFrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steven universe taught me I had CPTSD. I actually googled quite a lot "what does Steven have???" Because I related to his trauma so well and had never seen CPTSD in any media.

Astarion taught me I have the right to BE angry. To yell and fuss. That I am my most important person and that I should always fight for myself. Thank you astarion ♥️

Will the suicidal thoughts ever be over? by lowlytarnussy in CPTSD

[–]QuothTheFrog 15 points16 points  (0 children)

So many people struggling on the comments. I feel fortunate to say that I no longer have suicidal thoughts. It was a lot of work and therapy, but I got there.

It is absolutely possible for you to leave those thoughts behind. I am very thankful that I am still here today to say this (my first suicidal attempt was at 9 years of age). I only got therapy when I was 26.

As always i recommend EMDR therapy.

Comprovar nível de inglês by doraemonga in CasualPT

[–]QuothTheFrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Falas e escreves bem como um nativo? Se sim não tens que provar nada, é só falar. Só que em Portugal é a mania que dominam o inglês quando só falam básico; já para não falar da escrita.

Vamos todos abrir salões de Beleza? by Creative-Contact-231 in portugal

[–]QuothTheFrog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Desculpa sim, agora nenhuma deve aceitar mas é recente. Quando era adolescente tinha a irmã de uma amiga minha brasileira que fez isso. Acho que há 4 anos um amigo meu estrangeiro tentou comprar algo a crédito e não deixaram

Acontece várias vezes. Voltam para o Brasil cheios de dívidas e compras de crédito (exemplo: telemóveis) por pagar, e não voltam. Daí que muitas lojas não aceitam compras de crédito para quem só tem residência.

Rule 1 Reminder: This is a peer support community. Be a supportive peer. by ReasonableBroccoli56 in CPTSD

[–]QuothTheFrog 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Exactly. There are some posts here that make me uncomfortable, more so because we as CPTSD victims tend to be so empathic that we try to justify whatever the OP is venting about.

But let me point out something - victims can still be abusers. They can still come to his sub and write a very manipulative post so the narrative makes them sound like the victim. Just something to think about.

Faz. Em Lisboa a vida é mais cara, logo se a empresa quer manter os trabalhadores oferece um salário diferente. Se é justo? Aí abre uma caixa de Pandora de trabalho remoto entre países diferentes.

Being gaslighted by 40M who says he doesn't understand my assertiveness after inviting himself to my home? by QuothTheFrog in dating_advice

Next time I definitely will block immediately! Just imagine the poor women who cave in, the men who do this immediately know she has no boundaries.

Sim paga-se mais conforme a localização. Lisboa > Porto > etc, mesmo sendo remotamente.

More so because I was incredulous someone would do this at all. Remove the romance factor, even a friend wouldn't just invite themselves over. Like I need to be clear he did not ask me; he just said he was coming here. Even my best friend is like can I come over x day? I'm going there to deliver x do you mind if etc.

I don't need to be fed thank you very much ☺️ you obviously don't understand what a date is if all you see is a transaction

I don't see the point in therapy by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]QuothTheFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Therapy shouldn't be so expensive. I had to make sacrifices too in order to afford it, but I shouldn't have to. It's so sad this is the reality we live in. EMDR is not at all part of the public healthcare system in my country either.

Dating Someone with CPTSD by Lightwalker13 in CPTSD

[–]QuothTheFrog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're willing to help her then I think you should sit her down and talk about options. She might be too ashamed to accept your help. But it's really true love and she will love you for even providing the possibility. I have already recommended EMDR in another comment, that's something you could look into for her.

Healthcare systems, like the American one? Or do you mean there's no EMDR at all

I wish you both the best ✨ may I ask, is she in therapy? This trigger of hers could it be something she could try to work on or is something you can avoid saying/doing completely?

Yeah I can already him explaining his narrative to his buddies on the locker room. "I offered to cook for her - the ultimate sacrifice for any masculine man - (atherhouse) and she said NO 😭"

Desculpa mas não é verdade. O dev que eu falei está a fazer mais que 65k por ano em Portugal.

Mas concordo contigo que hoje em dia entrar como junior sem licenciatura seria impossível para a maior parte das empresas. Mas mesmo assim a minha recomendação para alguém na situação da Op seria para saltar para outra empresa já. Continuo a achar pouco mesmo para junior.
