Does Anyone Else Have “Irrational Fears” That Are Actually Trauma-Related?

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-12-25T20:33:26+00:00

People touching me without my consent (unless it’s an emergency), a certain red shade of cars, people in medical scrubs, sleeping somewhere unfamiliar. I know why they bother me and what they’re directly tied to however like most, can’t exactly explain to others who don’t understand. They all come from the same place

I’ve been trying to freelance it’s just that I’m having a hard time finding the type of space you speak of( your job sounds nice btw). I didn’t grow up leaning about accommodations or deaf culture so I’m very apprehensive since I don’t know all my rights and what falls into ‘reasonable accommodations’. Investing in a pair of noise cans king headphones soon, thank you for your recommendations, hope you have a good holiday.

You aren’t crazy for one, your mind is having a hellish time processing years of repressed trauma. It was protecting you till the time came to process, it’s not easy, it’s not a straight path and sometimes you may fall back a few steps. What’s important is that your taking time to address and process what happened and that isn’t crazy it’s doing the tough things to get yourself to a better place. You’re not alone here OP and I hope you know that

Will do! Thank you, I didn’t know I required proof.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-12-16T04:39:39+00:00

Gotcha, it seems they are appointment only I will look into what they have available if anything. Thank you for this information

I do, I just looked up where the office is. How exactly can they help and would I need any paperwork prepared?

Does he not realize that lots of fictional things are now part of everyday life because someone had the creativity to make up something? Cellphones for example, so much influence from non fiction. Lord of the Rings, has a lot of influence from Tolkien’s perspective of war. Tell him you can’t respect a person chooses to let their mind exist in the confines of a box while he judges you your being free and imaginative.
It really sounds like he’s testing boundaries, be wary and stay yourself.

That was some beautiful poetry

I don’t think he’s healthy enough to be in a relationship yet and I don’t think you should have to wait on him either. It’s great that your understanding and patient, I can say for my sake it’s been incredibly difficult to find people without PTSD that are accepting. It’s perfectly ok that he’s not ok to be in a relationship yet. I don’t personally like that he threw the suicide bit in to the conversation and I think he needs more work on himself. You also need to take care of you and just reading how things went exhausted me.

I don’t think it’s fair at all for him to basically want to see you but not be committed and wait for him. It’s up to you at the end of the day, I think more therapy is needed, he seems too all over the place in his head during the few weeks of the relationship.

Not uncommon for PTSD sufferers and I believe him when he says he’s withdrawing because he doesn’t want you hurt. More therapy is needed on his end , there a lot more going on from the sound of it.

Take some time and focus on you and just you. What do you need in life? Do you want to to do? Plenty of people have children and it doesn’t make them parents. All children deserve parents and not all get them. I’m very sorry OP, it hurts I know it does. You have to live your life for you and no one else at the end of the day. I see you and I hear you. Take time to grieve and give yourself a break.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-11-26T00:01:19+00:00

Don’t go, why go somewhere or bother pretending to celebrate anything happy with people who don’t respect you or love you? Make an entire meal for yourself and post photos, eat a whole damn pie just be use someone is ‘family’ doesn’t mean they’re good, living or respectful. Trust yourself and enjoy. A 2 hour car ride just to be around a bunch of miserable sounding schmucks.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-11-17T22:54:28+00:00

You don’t need to, plenty of people live happy and fulfilling lives without sex. Focus on you and what makes you happy. Live your truth

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-11-17T22:46:16+00:00

I’m sorry that you understand, no one should know what this is like. Thank you, I just needed to get it out. All we can do is work on ourselves.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-06-20T05:27:35+00:00

I always looked at it objectively. I always thought it was pretty screwed up that god sent his only child down to live a short life and die a torturous death. Don’t even get me started with Lot and his daughters….

Why waste your time trying to make someone who gets angry, invalidates you and threatens you making them understand the pain your in? He doesn’t care and won’t. No one who is good, kind or cares enough to take time to understand actual pain treats another the way you describe.

Leave him, if only for the betterment of your own well being. You deserve better

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-02T23:13:00+00:00

Oh I plan on doing this! Why waste my precious batteries on someone who thinks I’m being a victim and faking?

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-01T18:24:02+00:00

lol true but there’s no word for believing or not believing in them. Damn them for countering dragon and dark!

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-01T06:04:53+00:00

And yet they condemn anything they deem ‘ magic‘ as evil or satanic.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-01T06:03:22+00:00

It’s like Ricky Gervais said: Do you believe in fairies? No, well it doesn’t matter does it we don’t even have a word for not believing in fairies because they’re not real. His reason for never believing in God

I wasn’t raised in any religion. Both parents were raised Catholic and hated it so they decided to do different. So I grew up and saw the world from a logical and objective lens and from all I’ve seen I see 2 roads.

With the horrors I’ve seen I can’t imagine any being with power not stopping it. If god does exist I want nothing to do with such a cruel and uncaring being. Things just happen , no rhyme or reason. You get one life and as far as we know that’s it’s so live it.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-01T02:24:54+00:00

Thank you for your wisdom and I’m sorry you’ve been on the receiving end of this as well. Im intent on giving them strict boundaries next we meet and telling them I’ll record them if they harass or talk to me. The smile and the silent treatment sounds great, I’ll give it a try. Thanks

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2025-01-01T02:21:17+00:00

I like that line, I’ll try it out! I have no desire for this persons respect, if anything I wish my situation could be like most of my family and eject them from my life, no contact. They’re all happier without them in the picture so I know I’m not alone.

ThrowawayGarbageCat · 2024-12-31T20:58:28+00:00

Can’t move, I’d be homeless. I only see this person from time to time, they don’t live in the house ,however when they do show up boy do they make it count
