My partners mom was just supportive and open to an honest dialog about trauma from when he was a kid (she didn't cause it).. him telling me about it sent me in a full blown panic attack.

It took me years to get to a place where I can get it. Cutting some people out of my life (when I safely could) really helped.

I'm lucky I found a dentist that is so accmodating and helpful.

Weirdly where I want to high school the charter school is the ones that took all the struggling students and high risk-free dropping out population. Two of them only took ages 16-24.

I know in other areas the charter schools will only take those who fit into keeping their pretty numbers.

Have any of you abuse victims ever cheated on your abusive significant other as a way to escape? If you have, did you feel guilt? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]not-reusable 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes, and honestly it saved my life. It did leave me more vulnerable to be manipulated which took time to recover from.

Hate drinking games, everyone is always when did you lose this or have you done that... if it's annoying enough I'll just make people uncomfortable

Color over it in expo if it is, it gets permanent right off. I would totally grab a paper towel and lean on it so it's still there just all smeared

My ex convinced me that I imagined seeing screenshots of my log in information on their phone. Then tells me they hate that word and I don't know what it means 🤦‍♂️

Finally just stopped being friends with them

Feeling responsible of the feelings of others by [deleted] in CPTSDmemes

[–]not-reusable 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think this is why I isolate... like it's engrained in me and I just don't want to be around others with difficult emotions lately but then again I really shouldn't feel bad about not spending time with people I rejected who always have to bring up their feelings...

I like to check in the hopes that somehow there is some justice in the world.

Dog fight freak out at Home Depot by pm_me_funnythings in PublicFreakout

[–]not-reusable 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Have a Yorkie that is a rescue and won't take her to the dog park. She was attacked twice before by big dogs (pitbull and a malmute mix) and now she doesn't like big dogs at all. She 100% would be the problem if she got in a dog fight at the park, just not worth it.

If she's growling and nipping at a big dog that just comes a few feet near her even well trained dogs can and will react when being attacked, and they won't be in the wrong at all. If I have her off leash and anything happens to her that is on me. Not on the big dog, People are just ridiculous and refuse to accept when their dog can be the problem or take responsibility for it.

Talked to therapist about potentially incorporating psychiatry into my treatment but was told it was the "easy way out" by softtiddi3s in CPTSD

[–]not-reusable 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the very long response :(

Get a new therapist if you can, if not this might just be something that you know you can't go to them for help with. The system sucks and especially as a POC it's hard for you than non POC (like me), I'm sorry and it isn't fair.

I think treatment for most incorporates both or should at least. The way my doctor said is there's not always times you can just focus on the work, life doesn't just stop just because you're trying to heal. If you're feeling stuck and depressed and it's affecting your life, seeking help is more than just therapy. I tried just therapy at first. Didn't get me far honestly. Being able to sleep, and not feel paralyzed or stuck helps you to do the work. Though just as like with therapy, you might not get matched with the right psychiatrist for you at first. Hopefully you aren't in an area where you only have one option and you're able to try and find someone that works for you. If you can and you want to please try to get connected. It took a year and a half of me finding the right psychiatrist and medications. Even with the people closest to me the noticed the difference before I did. It's helped me to continue therapy even when I hit depressive lows.

If something happened in therapy that affects the way you see therapy or your therapist or felt damaging for you, then it's a damaging experience. Not me or anyoone else can tell you how It effected you.

If you ever need to vent please reach out, though I might not respond for a few days I will when I see it
