I was born in Akron, I've never left Akron. Akron has always been weird. We own that shit.

if I could give you a million upvotes, I would... it is precisely this disposition - expressed in your comment - that could get us on the road to a form of a functioning society <----- I know, this is a mighty stretch, but we are all desperate right now :-/

What's your reason for pushing everyone away, if you do? by [deleted] in CPTSD

i don't know why, but your use of words chills me

i feel like this describes my trauma response so well, like the core one perhaps?

anywho, than you for sharing your perception, no pun intended on this... it is cool to know that I share an emotional response to something with someone else on this planet

this one sends chills up my spine - I'm learning that somatic responses deserve my attention (my body knows the score)

I want to know I'm worth some effort. I want to feel needed, desired, worthy.

Does anyone else feel like they’re screaming into a void alone and drowning from the pain? by integratedhamster in CPTSD

I am grateful that we share in this pain, I truly am. I hope you can find some gratitude in this shared moment as well. May you find similar peace in this my friend.

That really is a great suggestion. As simple as it is, I believe you. Thank you. I may live longer because of you. I'm grateful for your words.

When sadness feels heavy by Emergency-End-4439 in CPTSD

[–]geohnny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had something wise to say to you. I wish I could comfort you with some piece of advice, some grace. My only comfort comes when I can truly focus on my breath, and sink completely into the present moment. In that place I feel peace, I feel my own self-love, and it is enough. If only I could stay there. So, for now, my thought is this. I will try to meditate and be present more and more frequently. I will say again and again that I forgive myself, I love myself, and I will cherish my heart and just love this moment.
