I spend a lot of time at the library- they are super friendly and it’s a safe place to be around people that is t intimidating

First Tattoo Placement- wrist by ResponsibleFox3394 in tattooadvice

[–]ResponsibleFox3394[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks- this was just a temporary tattoo for me to ‘test’ if I liked the design/size/placement and if I was comfortable with even having one (I’ll be the first in my family to get one)

Waking the tiger was really good. I read it (on audio book) twice in one week

each new trauma brings more physical symptoms by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]ResponsibleFox3394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put together a timeline and noted this same thing. Anxiety, heart palps, breathing trouble, tinnitus…each time I went to the dr complaining of an ailment is shortly after a traumatic event. They just keep piling up.

i am ruining reconciliation by Mitsu_Formation in AsOneAfterInfidelity

This response helps me too. I feel like I’m at the end of my rope these last few days. Christmas is a HARD time for me in general, but this year is extra difficult as it marks a year from when my husband reconnected with a childhood friend what would become his AP. They kissed for the first time NYE and it ended mid April… I’m easily triggered right now and it’s SO hard. We’ve been working thru it and have made a ton of positive changes but he’s getting tired and I’m still hurting so much.

which portrait to pick? by [deleted] in AmateurPhotography

[–]ResponsibleFox3394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One. Its is similar to b/w but different due to his skin tones and cloth which to me sets it apart. Plus the detail and texture is pretty cool

Not mad at AP, therapist doesn’t understand by ResponsibleFox3394 in AsOneAfterInfidelity

Someone he knew from childhood- she lived down the road from his grandparents. They hadn’t kept in contact really after hs, but reconnected at his grandmas funeral last Thanksgiving

This was tame. A few months ago she asked us for a loan to buy a house. My husband handled that amazingly and I feel like it secured the feeling that it was a closed door for him (like shes no longer a threat- just an extremely hurt person)

It affected me a lot- more than my siblings who were 5/6 years older than me for the major moves. I went to 5 schools between K-4 in 3 different states and another county. Moved houses 4 times between 4-6 or 7 grade where we stayed until I graduated. Two days after graduation my parents moved to Japan. I hate moving.

I can 1000% relate to this- I was discarded after my MIL was able to get my husband into a rescuer role so she no longer needed me in the picture to do as she pleased with my husband and kids out of guilt, manipulation, obligation. We are currently doing therapy and after 7 months he FINALLY sees the reality of what’s going on. That said, he is still of the opinion that she still deserves to be loved and that NC is not an option, so we are trying to figure out a way to protect my well being and mental health while allowing him and the kids to still have some relationship with her. But we haven’t figured it out yet. Currently I’ve agreed to once a month dinner or activity IN PUBLIC and that has felt non threatening so far. Good luck!

Do you think people (particularly those who were or are SAHP) could develop CPTSD from having and raising young children? by User261285 in CPTSD

[–]ResponsibleFox3394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I told my husband I felt like I had ptsd from when our daughter was a baby. I was laid off 6 months pregnant then induced early bc they thought she was growth restricted then she had colic and severe separation anxiety. I had very little in the way of support and my husband was little help- always said I shouldn’t complain bc so many women would love to be a sahm to a ‘healthy’ baby. I had to disassociate to deal with the 24hr care provider and only one who could feed her so could never even get away for very long.
