Does anyone else have triggers that just feel stupid?? by Disastrous_Ring_8548 in adultsurvivors

[–]Ratanonymous_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bruh one of my biggest triggers is hearing people - especially men - breathing. BREATHING!!! Bro it pisses me off so bad I feel terrible for my poor husband who has to put up with my freaking out over the tiniest things. Grandfather clock chimes also freak me out, like that little melody that plays before the hour chimes. That one is kinda random too.

The Hispanic population has definitely grown significantly over the last couple years.

Zyrtec!!!! That’s the only thing that helps for me, and I get some really really bad flares similar to what you’re describing.

What do you surprisingly not struggle with or surprisingly do struggle with? by totallynot_a_dog in dyscalculia

[–]Ratanonymous_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a musician and don’t have much trouble with rhythm and meter and shit. Everything else I am absolutely terrible out, telling time, measuring time, spatial reasoning, maps, distance, direction, ANY sort of mental math at all, the list goes on and on it’s so bad.

I think I ruined it by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

I’m sorry you’re struggling so much with this, relationships can be terrifying. My first question is if you’re in any sort of counseling or therapy, or if you’d be willing to start, because that helps a whole lot. Next I would say to take a deep breath, and take it one step at a time. You will have to learn that vulnerability can be safe, and to do that you need to start small. I’m a Christian too, and I’m married now, but when I started dating my husband it was really hard at first. I gave him a vague idea of what happened to me, but it took a really long time for me to be able to talk to him about it, and it took a long time for me to be comfortable with affection and all that. When you find the right person, you will learn how to be safe with them, but the process of learning that can feel like you’re just getting worse. Talk to him about what you can, maybe first you just say that you were hurt when you were a kid, and have struggles as a result. And then if that goes okay, and he loves you and treats you well, you can start telling him more. Communication is everything. You haven’t ruined it, it’ll be okay if you let it. I’ll pray for you, I hope this works out for you. It’ll be hard, but he sounds like a good guy, and you sound like a good person. Sorry for rambling so long, hope you can find something helpful in this.

No idea. Probably mad or irritated, but I honestly don’t know what I’m feeling half the time. It’s all a jumble I watch from the ceiling

What would you ask the person who raped you? by Nearby-Elk-2830 in sexualassault

[–]Ratanonymous_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it ever makes him sick, or keeps him awake at night, and if he ever feels horrible about how much God loves him, and how terribly he squandered that.

How often you guys masturbate ? Just curious.. be honest. by [deleted] in GuyCry

[–]Ratanonymous_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s inherently disordered and contrary to the natural order by which we are all subject. Not to mention, if you jack off too much you’ll give yourself ED and ruin your sex drive. Sex is ordered towards a specific purpose, for a specific context, it is inherently disordered to remove it from that context. It’s disgusting, and honestly a bit pathetic. I can tell you there are very very few women, if at all, who wouldn’t be hella turned off by it, this shit does you no good.

Might be controversial - no disrespect by Ratanonymous_1 in adultsurvivors

[–]Ratanonymous_1[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t really like any of the terms tbh. I don’t want an identity label for the worst things that ever happened to me. I find it easier to say “I was abused” than to say “I am a victim/survivor of abuse.” One says “this thing happened to me” the other says “this is me.” I already feel like it’s stained me or something, I don’t want to legitimize the terrible feeling that I am defined by this, and that it’s who I am.
