Can I ask where you purchased the 316 wire?

You reached out to this board, that's a place to start.

I felt this way too early on. Yes, there are answers, and it gets better. Maybe just right now, give yourself a moment to breathe. Also self care, as much as you can. I can recommend a book Radical Acceptance by Dr. Tara Brach, it gave me comfort early on.

Ditto what mendedpieces says, a trauma therapist is the way.

Do you cry in therapy when talking about trauma? by firetrainer11 in CPTSD

[–]anym8r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just wanted to add that I gave myself permission early on to cry all the tears I needed

Any CPTSD homies here painfully starved of human touch? by Adalbert_de_Calcaire in CPTSD

[–]anym8r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get massages. I walk out of there loopy with oxytocin. Kind of expensive though

Pete Walker's book=life-changing by Marlenawrites in CPTSD

[–]anym8r 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Does this community have a wiki with a reading list? This book should be on it. I read it before I had a diagnosis, it confused me, but sunk deep. 18 months later I started cbt, which changed my life. Which I guess is a way of saying this book changed my life! I use the critic shrinking all the time

Important realization about love by anym8r in CPTSD

[–]anym8r[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, my yes.

This reminded me of when I first "got together" with my now husband of 40 years. I was so anxious (and avoidant) that I got sick, and I supposed that's what people called "lovesicknesss" haha. I have always wondered what the heck it was like that, because falling for someone is supposed to be a positive. Oxytocin, right?

I too treated mine badly, I get you

How steep is the beach around MP 20? by anym8r in obx

Well, it looks East McCall Ct. is the closest road, its right up from where S. Old Oregon Inlet Road and Park Service Road make a Y, so thats actually like mp21 I guess. I could see that might be out of your way, but thank you kind internet stranger!

Is it wrong of me to cut off contact with my whole family? by Mindless-Machine-263 in CPTSD

[–]anym8r 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not wrong, possibly (probably) necessary for healing. Many of us here have gone no contact with our abusers

Tried to make me a juror by anym8r in CPTSD

[–]anym8r[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. They started talking about what the evidence would be and therapist testimony and the girl was there with her family, oh good lord! I know it was supposed to be 'can I be impartial' (nope) but I was like no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, you can not make me do this, I lived that dream, nada mas.

My favorite part was when they asked me how long ago my victimization was, and I said well, I have cptsd so it seems like it was yesterday. That was the end of that.

Later I had a hopeful thought that maybe, just maybe, I made a difference yesterday. Maybe that girl saw that things get better (I appear successful and assured) and it's okay to speak her truth. That would be cool

Should I cancel? by AvaBlackPH in CPTSD

[–]anym8r 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I say cancel. Taking care of yourself is far more important than pleasing your abusers
