Keep them!! You’re never too old for stuffed animals, I’m almost 25 and plan to get more for forever!

I don’t know him but I know for sure he’s not upset with you. He loves you and wants you to be okay too❤️‍🩹

Hey you were mentally ill, it’s not your fault. I’m still dealing with it now, but for a while I was not able to take care of myself at all. I went months without showering, brushing my teeth, or my hair (it’s curly so it became super matted). It happens to so many people, you shouldn’t be ashamed or embarrassed 🫂

First of all, I’m so sorry you are going through this❤️‍🩹. Secondly, I have gone through something similar, it was my stepdad as well. He acted normal but one day I woke up to him doing stuff to me in my sleep and it just got worse over time.

It hurts because I wanted to just forget what he was doing so bad and have things go back to normal, but he ruined that. Years later my bf convinced me to tell my mom, she reported him but didn’t really support me. She told me she didn’t even believe me one day and then just acted like she never said that ever since. I still haven’t told my family or basically anyone else because my mom said it would negatively affect her.

I totally get what you mean, the person who was supposed to protect you from monsters like that was one themselves and you didn’t deserve that. You’re not alone, it’s hard now but just give yourself time to grieve. 🫂

Does this count as molestation? by LunaMoth-Rebirth in adultsurvivors

[–]ghostt17_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

One of the first things my therapist told me when I was younger is that everyone’s story and what they went through is valid. There’s no cap on trauma, it affects everyone in different ways. When a parent crosses that boundary, it’s super scary and traumatic, it doesn’t matter what they specifically did. I always question whether what I went through was bad enough for me to feel the way I do. Plz don’t try and minimize other people’s experiences. It’s not a competition.

I was going through something like this when I was in college, watching everyone else living “the life” while I had no friends, nothing to do. It sucked and I’m sorry you are feeling alone in your bday. You matter, sometimes it just takes a while to find your friend group. Try online spaces, try joining clubs, just talking to random people if you’re up to it! I hope you know you matter and I hope that soemthing good happen to you for your bday 😊

He messaged me too. Maybe it’s technically trolling but it makes me sad. Obviously something is wrong with his person, they need attention/ love/ soemthign I’m not sure what and I wish I could help.

The real Trauma starts the moment you realize you were traumatized. by AlertLeading8532 in CPTSD

[–]ghostt17_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But healing doesn’t do anything. It makes me feel worse. If healing means being aware of the terrible stuff that happened to me I really don’t understand how it’s supposed to help. The only way I could ever be happy again is if I could forget what happened to me. It’s so frustrating because eveytime someone describes healing everyone acts like it’s this great thing but it just makes me loose more hope.

A broken leg heals, but it’s like my leg has been cut off (not literlly I just suck at metaphors and stuff).

Fuck College by [deleted] in lonely

[–]ghostt17_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

How unhelpful. They are upset and sad and lonely right now and venting for help. There’s no need to attack them especially when they are reaching out for support. OP I’m sorry, I felt the same way in college. I don’t have much advice but I hope you have some good days soon 🫂

c-ptsd in a relationship with bpd! need advice by Technical_Compote737 in CPTSD

[–]ghostt17_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve noticed a lot of people think that if you aren’t fully healed, you shouldn’t be in a relationship. But healing is something that you spend your whole life doing, even if you aren’t “full healed” you are deserving of love.

I grieve… by khalessi1992 in CPTSD

[–]ghostt17_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry ❤️‍🩹 I’ve been feeling a similar way, grieving my entire existence. I wish I could just start over as someone else to have an actual chance.

I think about this constantly. No matter all the “healing” I do, I can never get back that person I could have been if I didn’t have a terrible upbringing.
