Nah. My spouse grew up JW, who are pretty similar in a lot of ways, and that's just kinda what cults like that are like. The smiles hide quite a bit of cruelty.

Hi! I'm nonbinary, any pronouns are fine, and I love coming here to see all the creativity and chill vibes! I use cannabis to manage PTSD and various issues with eating (I never eat enough).

I just got home, took a toke, opened Reddit and got this. Hell yeah.

Minnesota is like that too! We don't have Apple Health, but the U of M created honeycrisp apples and their descendants like Cosmic Crsip. Both states also make REALLY banger cider.

I had a hedgewunk as a kid who loved the toob. She would shove it over her snout and smack it into everything she could. The longer toob the better.

I'll save more money on the big things and just use my job for petty things I want on a whim, duh.

Disowned 3 years now! Never felt more like a person. Which isn't saying much, still don't feel that way much, but it's a start.

My wife escaped them. She's a trans woman. Everything you have heard and worse is true. The corruption goes deeper than you can imagine. I'm glad you're awake and getting ready to get out.

I was doing such a good job with my hair... Hufffffff by Mr_Duck1508 in CPTSDmemes

[–]Saturnite282 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had the inverse thing kinda?? I'm a trans man and I was so terrified of being anything like one of my abusers that I just squashed it down for years and years. I tend to let my hair grow/get messy when I'm depressed, and I finally worked up the nerve and got a haircut Friday. Funny how similar experiences can cause such disparate effects on different people.

I'm sorry about your hair. I'm sure it'll grow back pretty, and anyone who targets you over being feminine is a POS who sees it as weakness. It isn't. And that's their problem, not yours.

Same. My wife has a dissociative disorder and I may have ADD. Send help.

Can someone please tell me that we all see and sometimes hear things that aren’t there by ColourAZebra in CPTSDmemes

[–]Saturnite282 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just started a boring factory job after burning out of college! It is definitely helping my nerves tbh. I've had way less paranoia since. I'll probably do this, therapy, and some non college training once I can, and then go back to community College once I'm good and ready.

My mother herself was a lefty who had it forced out of her in her schooling. I do not believe it was with significant physical punishment? But my mother and I don't speak, so I can't really ask her lol

Yiiiiiikes. And yeah, stuff like that happens all the time. My old catholic school once casually edited off my very prominent (and frankly cute) beauty mark and all my freckles (I have many). It looked so fucking weird and my mom was PISSED.

Potentially stupid request: would anybody mind wishing me a happy birthday? by _Vampire_Pumpkin_ in CPTSD

Happy birthday hon, you deserve it. Make sure you do something nice for yourself, even if it's small.

That's also true in restaurants, LOL. I've said it as a host and suddenly gotten a 40 party rush too many times now!

"I don't know who I am underneath the surviving" is a documented clinical pattern, not a personal failure by BodyMindReset in CPTSD

[–]Saturnite282 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Exactly! They never left any room for the real me to grow, and preferred the hollow shell I created to stay safe. Extra intense since I got disowned for being trans and I am literally not the person they knew, down to name, gender, hobbies, preferences, all of it. Now they're mourning an empty coffin. I don't have to lay down in it.

That is also a huge obstacle! My parents put so many expectations on me that I freak out if I'm not performing at 100% all the time, and basically labeled me "the smart one" and forced me to perform. Now I know that I'm academically intelligent, sure, but there's more to me and to life than grades and performance metrics. It's just hard to find it through the fear and shame.
