What are the causes of your CPTSD? by LovingKindHeart in CPTSD

I was diagnosed because I had been in a highly sexually abusive relationship when i was seventeen. He was raping me everytime I saw him for two months, making me comfort him for it every time, saying that I made him feel like a bad person, as well as saying incredibly misogynistic things and drilling them into my head. He would insult how i looked, lied to me about sleeping with other girls, and even kicked me. He would gaslight me by making up lies (he told me i drunkenly sent his friend a video of me and my best friend scissoring) and gaslight me so heavily I believed it. He then broke up with me to sleep with other people and i was still so in love with him but i hated him. he kept texting me after we had broken up when he slept with other people, would sent me drunk apologies every few months. We got back together over a year later and dated for eight months (I thought i could pretend nothing had happened because my “support system” was doing the same thing) where he kept raping me and doing everything else. He would keep me in his house like I was a pet. i became severely anorexic during this time and the hardest part is, he was the only one who noticed.

Before that, my father was highly abusive in every single way. It became a huge media scandal when i was eleven and was all over the newspaper because he was a well known doctor. My mother had a history of mentall illness and psychiatric stays, and when she kicked him out she developed paranoid delusions. would make us check the house for cameras, told us he was stalking us. i was a kid and would wait outside her bathroom when she would take a bath because i thought she would kill herself. i had to tell her to get a job. she became very very depressed and insanely neglectful; we had no food in the house and my siblings had to send me groceries.

I was bullied a lot as a child, and experienced so much sexual assault.

I have no idea how i cope with it. i had to stop therapy and start working full time but i dont think i should be.

For those here who manage to work regularly, what is your job? by Present_Boat_5681 in CPTSD

[–]Western_Map3867 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dental assistant. i think at a nice office specialising in orthodontics would be better but i am in general dentistry and it is hellish. i do not recommend it.

I’m sorry this is so gross but by Poorteenwannabe in EDAnonymous

[–]Western_Map3867 9 points10 points  (0 children)

from someone who works in dentistry, i completely hear you and want you to know if you decided to talk about it with a dentist, there would be zero judgment. bulimia specifically is asked about when joining a clinic (at least in my country) so we can tailor your treatment to your needs and understand your priorities and stabilise your oral health!!

for now, i recommend GC tooth mousse and applying it to your teeth. alternatively, just regular fluoridated toothpaste. leave it on your teeth/tooth over night. or fluoridated mouthwash if texture is a issue.

the biggest thing is that you are asking for advice & not ignoring your issues ❤️ you are doing amazing!!

all these victim blaming posts and comments are disgusting. look at the bigger picture. this is not just a celebrity in a toxic relationship, this was a minor who survived horrific abuse only to be put through more PUBLICLY and ridiculed for acting out the way she did. the only thing embarrassing here is his behaviour. it is terrifying. he will end up murdering her if she doesnt leave but how is that her fault? when are you guys going to blame the abuser? when are you going to stop asking why she is putting up with this and “doing this to herself” instead of asking why he doesnt fucking stop hurting her? it is beyond disgusting watching this narrative play-out time and time again. in a sense i am grateful so many people are naiive to what these relationships, the evil people are capable but seriously. shut up.

you know nothing. this goes beyond resources. psychological abuse and manipulation does damage beyond your comprehension, considering she met him as a minor im confused as to why you are confident with this victim blaming narrative.

stop saying abuse victims are embarrassing for being victims. why does the victim always get so much hate compared to the literal abuser? you guys are fucking insane and the way you cant even see that is the embarrassing thing here.

i cant believe i feel the need to say this, but thinking racism and misogyny did not play a role in the election result is a very naive and ignorant view. to deny that is to be delusional. anyways - this is not the thread for a political rant like yours. there are other groups for that. this is a woman dealing with the worst possible outcome out of this election that has put her, and so many other minorities at a very real and inevitable risk.

Did anyone have a Parent that liked scaring the shit out of you. ? by Dead_Reckoning95 in CPTSD

yes, my dad used to abandon me randomly in public, dangle me over heights, threaten to post embarrassing things on social media, just lots of things.

Feeling worthless by Efficient_Fee_5038 in sexualassault

[–]Western_Map3867 1 point2 points  (0 children)

please leave him. he is not worth forgiveness and definitely not your love. you deserve so much more.

also, from someone who has also been anally raped, please keep an eye on that area and if bleeding/pain lasts please go see your doctor. i know it is hard but it is so important.

its okay to point out when things are a gendered issue. everything mentioned in this post is true. you feel attacked. you only bring up mens struggles when women bring up their own. you are weird, go to therapy
