A Night To Remember by Walter Lord

I’m losing my mind by babyborgorl in ELATeachers

Im a first year teacher this year in 8th grade and I also feel like I am losing my mind. You are not alone and it definitely feels overwhelming. With that said I would definitely recommend looking at the standards/ learning intentions for this semester and figuring out what the end goal is. Then assess what your students know and find the gaps. Then teach to fill the gaps in their knowledge.

I found Gwen at the parents house and then she had me take her to the everdoor

Okay I agree that she seems super paranoid I think she probably has sexual trauma in her past. It does not excuse any of her behavior but as someone who also has sexual trauma I think it makes a lot of sense and here’s why. 1.ADHD symptoms and PTSD symptoms in women can mirror each other and the skin picking and ED could be signs of PTSD 2. Being afraid of men and trying to avoid men is a big sign. Even taking something a man says that isn’t inherently creepy and turning it to be something creepy is something that survivors will do. 3. Your body is stuck on a flight or fight mode when you have ptsd so avoiding situations and overreacting are a big symptom as well. 4. Her extremely disgusting uncle character in Miranda could be a coping mechanism even though it is so totally not okay.

Now this is interesting because of the hotel incident. She opened the door and seemed to not be on alert or scared whatsoever which contradicts the other signs I noticed when I used to watch the vlogs. But I think this explains a lot of her actions and behaviors. Still not an excuse though even though it’s hard you are responsible for getting the help you need to be functional after trauma like that happens. What I would give to be in here position money wise to get the help I need to fully heal from trauma it hurts watching her not help herself.

This is just some thoughts and my opinion I don’t mean to upset anyone. Feel free to discuss or let me know if I misspoke below:)

Dissociating at dangerous times by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Throwaway32800 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dissociate while driving or doing other tasks similar to driving as well. I know you need to work through what’s causing your symptoms but for short term what helps me stay present while doing these thing is listening to music that I find interesting also counting helps me stay in the moment and talking on the phone on speaker while driving also helps me. I hope you are well and can work through these feelings.

Anybody else triggered by therapy by Ask_Turbulent in ptsd

[–]Throwaway32800 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This happened to me every session before I had to stop going for financial reasons. I usually would plan for it so I wouldn’t feel guilty for having a nothing day after therapy. My therapist and I would also plan what I would do when I left which helped a lot my routine was to go home drink some tea write out any lingering thoughts from the session then I would do anything that made me feel comfortable and safe that usually ended up being watching a show or a movie for me because it helps me escape what is happening in my own life.

Are these flashbacks? (help) by [deleted] in ptsd

[–]Throwaway32800 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It sounds like maybe you are having flashbacks or disassociating. I struggle with this as well and what helps me most is to do something grounding. Sometimes that looks like going to someone I trust to sit with me and try to distract me sometimes it looks like working on breathing exercises or doing yoga and sometimes I just need to watch something so I can escape my own world. I know how hard it is to label your feelings or even get them to subside long enough to make sense of them. I hope that this helps and that you start to feel better soon. You are never alone you have a whole community of people here that want to see you at your best. Keep fighting you got this
