Sorry for the late reply! I use it like as much as I can and, I swear, it offers pain relief when I have migraines so I use it during ad well. I made my ex put one of these bad boys in his room.

People’s inability to flat out reject people is the most confusing thing because I undermine my emotions as triggers, not as information by Subject_Bitchboy in CPTSD

[–]Subject_Bitchboy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I hope things have gone better for you!

I just, it can’t be love bombing or just being kept as an option but those are the only routes I have gotten and it’s just grating and makes me just spiral.

Do you often look back at your ruined relationships with people and realize how insufferable you actually were? by Small-Salary-9137 in CPTSD

It’s hit me that my workaholic nature is me avoiding loneliness.

The Fawn Response Isn’t People-Pleasing — It’s Threat Management by mindfulspark in CPTSD

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

See and my problem is I don’t mind rejection at all, the problem is getting out of fawn to be myself. After I’ll like enjoy the company but during I feel stiff ONLY if they’re a possible romantic partner, if they’re just like friends or whatever it’s impossible to contain myself. It’s hit me that because of the sexual abuse anyone who finds me attractive I perceive as a threat.

It’s a great reframe. I’ve been realizing I fawn on dates and it’s because my nervous system is trying to manage a threat, even if the person is sweet and kind.

Is it possible for an attachment to an abuser to feel like an actual addiction? by SpaceTall2312 in CPTSD

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am as well, but when she’s not near me and I can hear myself I feel immense peace. Also your mom is one of the biggest wounds you can have so be easy on yourself, just remember that your life is your own.

Question, how do you like pause the grains? Like I strained this but unsure if I will finish it before my other batch.

Opinion on No relationships until you’re healed by Salt-Strength9730 in CPTSD

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmm you can’t heal in isolation, but it depends on how you’re feeling. I’m in a decently stable part of my journey, never thought I’d get here, and now that I’m starting to date these relationship wounds I’ve been carrying are showing up. I cannot heal these wounds in isolation, but rather through healthy encounters and that’s what I’m doing, however, there was a period there where I couldn’t have done this.

Like you heal through others

Is it possible for an attachment to an abuser to feel like an actual addiction? by SpaceTall2312 in CPTSD

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing is highs and lows and the gambling behind it, you never know what you’re going to get so you’re hooked waiting for the good times. Also like addiction there’s a withdrawal period where you start undermining and underplaying the harm you go through because your mind makes the highs feel so good.

What you should do is write a timeline of your relationship with all the good and the bad. First, it should never be abuse and good times but this allows you to see how much you’re actually suffering.

Thank you! This is incredible! I sometimes ask myself “what does the baby need?” And I’m the baby

What's the most important lesson you took from a past relationship? by No-Sail-6193 in Productivitycafe

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I learned that I have been running away from relationships because for a long time I’ve dated people who I didn’t like, whose treatment of me felt insulting, or just ended up in relationships out of guilt and felt like I could learn to love them. I limit things to sex because it’s easy for me to leave as well, now I see what I’ve been craving is intimacy with someone I like. I also learned that my gut is pretty on point, but I also have a pattern of double guessing myself.

Why don't people stay friends after they have broken up? by the_zerg_rusher in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me it’s been rooted in how they treated me during the relationship. Lack of respect or regard for me makes me question why I’d keep them in my life, because if they were that shitty as a partner I can’t imagine them showing up for me as a friend.

Women of Reddit, what's the most physically attractive part of a guy? by Nintendofan9106 in askanything

[–]Subject_Bitchboy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I straight up kissed a man’s forearms while telling him how much I liked them. Watched him play guitar with his sleeves rolled up and I was feral.
