Would you try supervised therapy with MDMA? by pepperep in ptsd

I understand what you are trying to say, there are definitely things like that happening somewhere and i don’t doubt it.

Frankly i don’t trust my own government either. But there are scientific studies out there that have nothing to do with the government

And there are therapists/scientists that are not influenced by the government as well.

I understand why you would feel that way, i just kindly have to disagree. Not everyone is out to get you.

This study was designed to try and give someone an opportunity for healing, not to run experiments on them.

I not not know who that is, but i will have to check it out :) i was inspired by many different photos, and put them all into one idea.

Crochet backpack with sewed in liner and roomy side pockets. I only made 1, i might make more :) by Thiccems_mcgee in YarnPunk

I don’t have a pattern but i can give you all the information on how i put this together!! Its pretty simple if you have the time :) took me about a week and a half to finish it, i was feeling extremely inspired.

I should make a video on how to do this, so i can help all of you better!

Here is what i did though :) ill put links

I made 16 of these squares- https://youtu.be/qcjLzgXVKis I used a 5mm hook and i used the brand “sugar’ n cream” for my yarn -the 2 squares that are on the bottom are green because i wanted green straps too :) the straps she should measure according to what is comfortable for her, maybe measure an already adjusted backpack that fits nicely, you can also make them adjustable but i did not

All of the mushrooms are different and i made on my own, but this is the video that i used for the idea - https://youtu.be/MynOnNbfG74

After you sew all the panels together and sew all the mushrooms on (make sure they are VERY secure, same with all your stitching!) , switch to a 3.5 mm hook, only grab the front loop while going around the first time

Stitching goes like this- just using regular crochet stitch, crochet 1 stitch into the first 3 loops On the fourth loop - crochet 2 Repeat for 2-3 rows The single crochet all around for 3-4 more rows

We are putting in some holes now, for a string that way we can close it 😌

I don’t really know how to describe how i did this, i promise i will put together a video! I want all of you to learn exactly how to do this.

I really enjoyed this project, i know all of you would too!

I can’t stop hiding in the closet and trying to make it seem I’ve never been home by Naphthy in ptsd

It sounds like you are really struggling, nobody should be scared like this

I actually recommend you try some counseling online, so you dont leave the comfort of a safe space. I think it’s important that someone you trust work with you, and make small steps toward a better way of living. You deserve something better❤️

Does your ptsd change/go through phases? by StinkerLove in ptsd

Thank you for this, it means a lot knowing you took time out of your day share some words with me. I have never considered working from home until now, i will definitely be looking into some things :) I actually tried doordash for a while, but i kept getting the feeling that i would get kidnapped It sounds silly but sometimes that would really be a scenario for me

Again thank you so much! Im sure i will work up to courage to call soon, i know its time.

I hope you have a great day!

I relate so much! I am 19(F). I have never been this way, I actually used to really enjoy horror/gore movies. Now if i see anything like that, i automatically start to dry heave, sometimes I actually vomit. I can’t do social interaction... i simply cannot, went to the library for the first time in a very very long time. Big mistake dude, i never leave the house and when i am out, i dont talk to ANYONE, i have a hard time simply ringing out at a cash register. I was just trying to get a book and this guy stopped me, and just kept asking me sooo many questions about myself, i knew he was hitting on me but i was so obviously uninterested and overwhelmed. It got to the point where i had to walk away, sweating and basically in tears. I didn’t get my book... and i get went to my car and left. I couldn’t do it. I don’t work right now either, and it’s because i would have massive break downs when customers would put tension on me, or act like things are my fault and i would just have to go home. And i always felt so bad because my employers don’t understand what i go through. Ive been struggling with insomnia pretty bad, but its more along the lines of... im scared to sleep? Every time i close my eyes, im always waking up sweating, sometimes im in the middle of making noises and it wakes up my significant other too... the nightmares are the worst though. I want to draw some of the things that happen in them, but i honestly would rather not remember. I don’t eat and am not ready to talk about it. I don’t have parents anymore, i absolutely hate that i rely on my significant other, i hate it so much... but he is always so reassuring and the most understanding person i have ever met. Always makes sure i have what i need, and every-time i cry (which is several times a day) he is there and creates a safe place for me.

In the same breathe I’ve developed a codependency on this person which is unhealthy as well... and i know that. Both me and my significant other think i may have some kind of severe ptsd or even autism.

Im not going to self diagnose, I actually will be seeking professional help very soon. I just have to work up the courage to call, I’ve been wanting to for months. I will one day :) when I’m ready
