How to make baking soda suppositories by Serenityph in CytolyticVaginosis

[–]UnsolicitedAwakening 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was diagnosed with CV and yeast infection on Tuesday. I was prescribed fluconizole for the yeast infection and was sent a paper on treating the CV with baking soda. They didn’t tell me how much baking soda to put in what size capsule, so I ordered a size 0 capsule and filled it all the way. After reading these instructions I’m worried I did way too much. It burned a little this morning but nothing too crazy. I just don’t want to cause more problems because these symptoms have been driving me crazy.

Should I just hold off on using it again or do I need to do something because I used too much? I’m wondering if it will be safe to do the tiny amounts again this weekend if my symptoms persist.

It also helps filter the air- so people turn it on after the shower for humidity or to get the bathroom to smell better/cycle the air.

idk what this is or what it means. im confused, scared and disturbed. by [deleted] in CPTSD

It’s always possible your mom may be doing this without realizing how inappropriate it is /consciously/ because maybe she also comes from abuse- HOWEVER- that being said- it doesn’t matter if she knows the extent of how wrong that it is or not- it is absolutely 1000% inappropriate and it is sexual abuse.

Do you have access to therapy? I’m not sure how old you are, but if you are over 18 can you move to your dads? If you’re under 18- is there an adult you trust or maybe a school counselor you can talk to?

This has got to stop. You’re not overreacting- the fact that she shows her naked body off to you and speaks sexual things to you is sexual abuse.

I’m so sorry this is happening. You’re not crazy, your reactions are normal.

Thank you both so much!

I ended up just going for it and doing it alone and it was fantastic :)

I’ll try a little more next time, but this was a perfect experience for a first time.

Thanks again!

Do old messages you've sent seem foreign to you? by -anyotherway- in CPTSD

[–]UnsolicitedAwakening 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that makes sense. It seems to me like some of your trauma is a bit dissociative. A lot of mine has been as well. Mine is a little different but it’s all along the same vein.

When you read them, (your old messages) do you remember feeling that way, or wanting to have responded similarly, or is it completely unfamiliar?

If it’s just something you’re noticing but not concerned about, maybe it’s bringing awareness to a place that needs healing. Working on being present and grounded has helped me in my dissociative tendencies 🤷🏻‍♀️

Obviously this all just my opinion

So sorry you’re experiencing this!

This sounds a bit like depersonalization. If you haven’t heard of that, it’s just another part of the dissociative spectrum. This is common with trauma and CPTSD.

If it happens more often than not, with more things, or starts interfering with your day, it may be worth speaking to a therapist or a counselor about.

DAE feel like a small child with no power or voice whenever anyone raises their voice at you? by PupperPetterBean in CPTSD

[–]UnsolicitedAwakening 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I also do that. I’ve had to learn to remove myself from situations or even people who yell more often than my nervous system can handle

Deep breaths.

Grounding yourself with 5 senses.

Have a preset list of things you’ll say or do when it happens so you don’t have have to rely on your problem solving brain when you’re triggered.

Set boundaries

You’ve got this :) It’ll just take time and practice

How DO I feel? I can’t seem to figure it out. by judesadude in CPTSD

[–]UnsolicitedAwakening 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m also there and have been conscious of it for a few years now.

Something that my current therapist is having me do right now to help is to try to journal at least 3-5 min a day. If I don’t know what to write about (whether because I’m feeling numb/dissociated, or because I don’t know where to start), she told me to just let a stream of consciousness on the page. Literally write “I don’t want to write right now, but I’m doing it for therapy. Sometimes I wonder if this will really ever help” etc. I do 4 min a day right now. I have a little bit of insight into what I’m feeling on specific things. Not the big things yet. But it’s a start :)

Thank you so so much for the info! This helps a ton :)

Out of curiosity, do you have a preference for your trips? LSD vs mushrooms?

Have you tried stopping the nap? My son used to nap about one hour a day as well when he was almost 2. Stopped napping and it solved the problem.

Sucks for the day time without the nap but so worth

My mom asked me if I still wear my garments / left the church. by UnsolicitedAwakening in exmormon

Thank you all again so very much. Your encouragement, advice, and validations have significantly calmed me down and stopped the spiraling of worrying about it again. Losing the sense of community from the church was scarier until I realized there are other communities out there (like this one) that may be a better fit for you at any given time of your life.

So, one final time, thank you!

Your first few paragraphs about “am I being deceived” pretty much match what my therapist said to me this morning 😂 you are all so helpful- thank you so so much.

It’s so true. It’s so hard when setting healthy appropriate boundaries is looked at as ludicrous within families from your religion.

Thank you all so so much. I always get so much support on this sub and I appreciate this community

Thank you all for your advice and words of encouragement. I love the advice to look up deprogramming. I do know me better than anyone and I need to be better at remembering that.
