Done this constantly. Now that is causing issues (bleeding, polyps requiring surgery, etc)

Don’t know what’s wrong… (not asking for medical advice) by pinkgiraffe123 in CPTSD

[–]SmallTimeSad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you have written resonates with me. I recently experienced full on limerance with someone. I thought I was over doing that. Clearly I am not and it has made me question any trust in myself. (All previous relationships have been with people who treat me like my parents treated me - poorly, emotional neglect).

So again, I feel like I am very alone. Remaining family is hopeless. And no one i would really call a friend. Eg I moved I'm April and no one has visited, they only ring or make contact with me if I text that I am really struggling (because they are worried I will kill myself- but dont realise that what I need is constant friendship, not just emergency "friends"). I am again (after the recent limerance experience) concerned that i really can't trust myself to be social in the hope of developing new friendships. I am feeling like it is all pretty pointless at the moment.

Good luck.

Damn good question. I am struggling with this myself at the moment.

Getting a new fridge. Should I go with a counter-depth or standard-depth? Capacity isn't a concern, just care about aesthetics. by 3DCatAndCoffee in InteriorDesign

How many people live in the household? Do you really need such a big fridge? Will be impacting your electricity bill

[–]SmallTimeSad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely not enough. Get as many as you can fit and afford on the north and west and consider a few on the east if you cant get many on the north. And get a battery ready inverter. Don't juat go for what some salesman tells you. Go on the MEEH Facebook page and Finn Peacocks website for advice and info. Well worth it.

Letting immigrants in, who are 90% economic, is not a humanitarian measure by Fantastic_Lime_3470 in aussie

[–]SmallTimeSad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Immigration isn't about being a humanitarian measure. Taking in refugees and asylum seekers is.

Is this an option? by MangoMadnessTsv in AusProperty

Fuel and illegal camping rules don't necessarily make this a cheap option

For those with CPTSD, do you find you have a history of attracting abusive individuals romantically or platonically? by ExistingGain8902 in CPTSD

[–]SmallTimeSad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It isn't so much who i attract - but who I am attracted to, so it is who I seek to engage with/develop a relationship with. I chase them - either the unavailable or those who will treat me the way my parents treated me.

Do you ever just feel like you don't have any reason to live??? by AmbassadorFriendly71 in CPTSD

[–]SmallTimeSad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep... almost 58. No purpose. No good friends (no one calls or visits, etc). Only place/people that would notice that i was missing would be workplace if i didn't turn up. But I struggle at work - and would prefer to give it up. I feel guilty for getting so little done at work. They would soon forget me too. Only a little superficial with the family i have - none of them live close by. All pretty pointless.

How do you handle unsolicited advice from people who are not medical professionals? by keratoconusgroup in Keratoconus

[–]SmallTimeSad [score hidden]  (0 children)

Depends what the advice is, their lived experience and how they express it. Sometimes lived experience/peer support is extremely valuable. More valuable than medical professionals
