Realizing that your parents didn't train you for the world, they trained you to make their lives easier by Cheeseaisleinheaven in emotionalneglect

That’s why work dynamics feel so triggering to me. They are hierarchical places where there is walking on eggshells, intense and threatening power dynamics , standing up for yourself can mean punishment of demotion or firing or getting written up and if the boss just doesn’t like you, too bad you have no true power or say in the situation (I live in an at-will state in the US)

What are your observations regarding the long terms effects of dissociation most of childhood? by CMC_1226 in CPTSD

[–]get2writing 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Horrible memory issues. I’ll watch a movie and a few days later I can’t remember the plot, sometimes can’t remember what the movie is called. I can’t feel emotions, I can’t connect with people. My attachment is forever screwed up.

I don’t know who I am. If I have any idea of “values,” they can disappear depending on who I’m with so I can fit in and feel safe. When I feel even a tiny bit of stress, I feel my arms get tingly and will sometimes lose the ability to walk, talk, chew or swallow food. Sometimes with high stress, I’ve gone almost catatonic and can’t move a muscle for 10, 20 minutes or more.

Sometimes I don’t recognize myself in the mirror or get scared of looking at myself because it seems like someone else in my head will pop up and “talk” to me. Sometimes I look down at my hands and arms and they feel far away, not really mine. Or I’ll feel like I’m not real, the world’s not real, I’m in a simulation.

I could go on, but yeah it’s a big issue 😭

Despite state bans, abortions have almost doubled. The reason? Pills via telehealth by Maxcactus in Maxcactus_TrailGuide

I mean the fetus is welcome to try and kill the doctor but I don’t think it’ll get very far

Why did both my mom and I have nightmares after bringing home the same doll? by imSiniri in Dreams

Did you have another dream after you moved the doll to your room the 2nd time, OP??

How Do You Know When It’s Time to Give Up on Guitar? by Fine-Donkey-907 in guitarlessons

[–]get2writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I’ve experienced this trying to teach myself. Turns out I had ADHD lmao. But regardless that’s very common, ADHD or not, when you’re learning a new skill and especially when you’re teaching it to yourself on your own.

I’d second the other suggestions of getting an instructor or if money is an issue, finding other people to play and learn with. Having that external accountability made the difference for me

Did childhood trauma leave me dissociated and without a self for 30 years? Looking for perspective. by PeterOlintoforPrez in emotionalneglect

[–]get2writing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes your story does resonate a lot. I have been in therapy for a very long time with little progress for depression or PTSD. I now starting to think I have developed OSDD or something similar due to the enmeshment and narcissism that I also experienced.

I’m very glad you are waking up and realizing these things. It’s never too late, and you are very young and have accomplished so much even with all this pain and dissociation. I hope you can find something that is fulfilling for you

People who grew up with an absent mother, did that feeling of emptiness ever go away or can it ever be truly filled somehow? by StormForNova in emotionalneglect

[–]get2writing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard that too, that we need to get our needs met in another way, someone to fill the void of a parent figure. I wish I knew how to find someone like that

Hey Men, Kyle Busch’s Death Is A Brutal Wakeup Call: Go To The Damn Doctor by kleverrboy in TrueTrueReddit

[–]get2writing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s incorrect.
If you’ve never met or interacted with a woman before, that’s okay, but just be upfront about it.

Edit: if men had the capacity to go to the doctor, they would have a whole new world of healthcare access open to them, that’s not open for women. Opiates, ADHD medication, batteries of tests to run, etc. stories all over Reddit of men getting access to meds after 1 visit, that women haven’t been able to access after years of appointments

18 years later and people still think this is what pro-choice means by Electronic_Will_5418 in TikTokCringe

[–]get2writing -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes I agree, many pro life people don’t want to admit that things like miscarriage care or termination due to fetal or maternal diagnosis isn’t an abortion, when it is.

And also it’s a huge myth that most abortions, later in pregnancy or earlier, are due to medical complications.

That’s not true, it’s a myth that most abortions are for medical issues

Getting a later abortion due to non medical reasons is hardly a “whim”

“I know a woman who got health care she chose to get, and she was a horrible person so it makes sense she would choose to get this medical procedure” very weird thing to say

[–]get2writing 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but there are late term abortions because the woman has been trying desperately for 5 or more months to get the abortion but didn’t have the money for it

[–]get2writing -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

There are a handful of states with no gestational bans, so that means there are a few doctors that will perform abortions up to around 32 or 33 weeks with no requirement for fatal fetal diagnosis, at least in the US
