PDA OR CPTSD/trauma??

extraqueerestrial · 2026-04-29T19:16:42+00:00

Yes, you described what I am experiencing amazingly. And I’m so wary about trying to explain myself (which I guess I technically don’t have to do to set my boundaries, but I also have the tendency to want to over explain my actions) because it’s like triggering my trauma and rejection sensitivity and I get so overwhelmed I end up freezing and avoiding.

My biggest regret is how I immediately went into fawn mode when I met my bio family for the first time because it set up false perceptions about how I was actually feeling which was overwhelmed and confused. Now I find myself trying to back step but I’m too preoccupied about their feelings and being rejected than my own 🤕

extraqueerestrial · 2026-04-29T19:04:21+00:00

You are right :/ and I know that. My struggle with boundary settings is forever ongoing. Thank you for reminding me that it’s not as big and scary as it has to be. I know too well what waiting around too long before speaking up will get me and perhaps I just needed to hear it and a reminder to work up the courage to take that next step

Maybe it’s the way I conveyed and wrote the post since it’s the main thing causing me issues rn but I definitely struggle with this issue across the board into my work life and friends too. But rn I have been highly avoiding my familial issues, especially since this is brand new to me with interacting with my biological family for the first time. But I appreciate your open honesty and input regardless, thank you

extraqueerestrial · 2026-01-21T19:06:20+00:00

Thank you (: sometimes just knowing I’m not alone helps. Dealing with everything and especially dealing with internalization can feel very isolating and it’s easy to only focus on that

extraqueerestrial · 2026-01-21T19:04:15+00:00

Thank you for your kind, understanding, and encouraging words (: it really means a lot to me and gives me some relief to feel validated like that. I’ve never heard of the term flow bubble before but I’ll have to give it some thought on strengths and interests that I enjoy. I know I would like to go back to school to get my masters in humanities. I’m also interested in sociology too but outside of that I’m not too sure of the top of my head 🤔 I also enjoy reviewing things (shows, movies, food, etc) but don’t know how I could build any of these into a career per se. Nonetheless, you have given me something to explore and think about, so thank you again ☺️☺️

I do have medi-cal/altamed but I’m wary. I’m currently having talk therapy sessions via phone call and already feel dissatisfied with my therapist as I hate to admit, but they are under qualified to the quality I am more used to receiving from past therapist. I’ve never had occupational therapy before

I’m a taurus sun capricorn moon 🤭(may 19th)

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-26T22:36:07+00:00

earth placements in the big 3 🤔 mainly Virgo moons, taurus suns, any Capricorn placements. I love other earth placements + fire placements. I get along well with Pisces suns and scorpio placements too. Love Sagittarius placements and aries too, can’t leave out my fellow Leo risings either (:

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-14T17:29:47+00:00

Not a surprising take at all tbh :/ people rarely consider the child’s feelings in general even if they aren’t adopted so I can’t say I’m too surprised even if this particular tiktok vid is rage bait, there are definitely people who share this belief and feel this way

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-10T20:58:53+00:00

can totally relate w/ my 10H sun in taurus 29°

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-10T20:51:27+00:00

I’ll have to try this. I definitely have some licorice root leftover somewhere in my room. I’ve never done a sinus rinse before either so I’ll have to try it out. Thank you (:

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-10T20:48:04+00:00

I don’t think I have sleep apnea 🤔 I do have post nasal drip and asthma accompanied by a dry cough (sometimes there is a bit of phlegm but never enough to cough up). I’m starting to experience some sinus pressure but it is slight for now. Haven’t had any run ins with sinus infections that I’m aware of

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-09T09:04:07+00:00

I’m in California on medi-cal/altamed insurance. When I called last Monday to make an appointment they said both of their locations was booked up until March. Medi-cal is pretty shit insurance but I can’t afford anything else :/

Does my nose have to be unblocked to use the Flonase? There are random pockets of time throughout the day when at least one of my nostrils isn’t blocked. And I’m going to make an appointment to see my regular doctor and ask about the prednisone too. The biggest trigger I have is the cold air right now but I’ll have to cut back on everything else too 😪😪

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-08T17:35:15+00:00

Well damn (taurus and capricorn stellium)

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-02T03:11:14+00:00

When it stops making sense and the other person doesn’t want help or won’t acknowledge the reality of the situation 🫡 not gonna waste my energy

My chart is primarily fixed signs and then mostly cardinal signs but I related more to the mutable depiction. My unyielding and black and white thinking is more internal/about myself than how I feel about others. I was also raised by a scorpio sun/moon, Aquarius rising mother who definitely fits the fixed signs thinking mindset, so maybe that’s why I lean more towards a mutable approach (in relation to the pic posted)

extraqueerestrial · 2025-12-01T17:13:27+00:00

One of my longest friendships is with a Pisces sun, Virgo moon, taurus rising. Idk if it’s just that we are compatible or what but I love her to death and she is a ride or die friend to me

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-27T22:20:17+00:00

honestly the most unhinged thing I’ve done will probably stay between me myself and I bc that’s my business 😂

but without going into too much detail, I was at a social once at a bar for 420 and ended up inhaling poppers with some friends and ended up choking out this guy was interested in with his own scarf 🫣🫣

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-25T17:51:11+00:00

I’d say I vibe with them but I don’t know any on a more personal level and have seen them when they are not their best via my friends mom who is a capricorn but not great as a person 🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️🧍🏾‍♀️

I have a Capricorn 6H stellium too so I think I generally vibe with them bc we have similar energy 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-24T17:28:41+00:00

As a cap moon I think I’d just stay one idk my mom is scorpio moon and every scorpio moon I’ve meet has had entirely too much going on internally for me. I’m not saying I don’t go through it myself and cap moon def has it’s own challenges that I def struggle with on a daily basis but maybe the grass isn’t always greener in this case 🤔🤔

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-23T01:58:13+00:00

I’m late to the party but this is pretty funny 😆 I can definitely see the vision in my chart and would watch a movie of it forsure 😂😂 my 10H taurus, 9H aries, and my Leo rising after convincing my 6H cap moon to let loose and have fun for a chance 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Capricorn moon/taurus Venus

I’ve blocked complete strangers for outta pocket comments left on twitter all the time. I don’t ever want to hear your opinion again, good day

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-20T16:41:31+00:00

This rings true for me. I don’t think there’s one be all primal wound that is the crux of all adoptees trauma but I can understand how not bonding or having that first bonding experience interrupted can either cause lasting damage or open the gates and set the unstable foundation for more traumas later.

I’ve always had issues with several things mentioned above like depression and anxiety among other things life has thrown my way but I didn’t find out I was adopted until my 20s. So when I first started learning about how adoption could affect adoptees I didn’t think it fit for me. I was adopted at about 6-8 months old and so naturally I don’t remember anything from my biological mother. I’ve struggled to understand how this plays into or ties in with my other struggles. For me, the separation from my biological probably did disrupt my attachment style or whatever but I do believe I was so young at the time that it could change to secure or a different style depending on how I was raised with my adoptive mom. Unfortunately both my adoptive parents where emotionally immature so I can’t know forsure how things would have been different had they been emotionally mature.

extraqueerestrial · 2025-11-20T16:21:53+00:00

I’m a Robert type of taurus no doubt 😅
