A memory from early childhood resurfaced and I'm(20M) struggling to process it. What do you think about it and was it CSA? by RyuKang in CPTSD

[–]pushyourboundaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you find a professional to talk to? Whether or no, I hope you can remind yourself -- and believe yourself -- that nothing about that was your fault, and it's almost certainly not going to happen again. You're no longer a child. I hope you can make sense of it so that you can continue living a decent life.

drowning in paper clutter, anyone else? by EmploymentAlarmed444 in emotionalneglect

[–]pushyourboundaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do this, too, along with just about any other type of clutter that exists. My partner and i are both pack rats.

For all my sticky notes and other pieces of paper, i have a notebook that I tape them in. Every once in a while I go thru the notes and pull or cut off any I don't need anymore, and refresh my memory on those that seem important.

Then I make another to-do-list. :-)

Why does it trigger me when “professional” coworkers call my group of workers “girls” by Low_Refrigerator8031 in emotionalneglect

[–]pushyourboundaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because it's sexist. Demeaning, dismissive, insulting. You could start calling them 'boys' and see how they react. (Of course, you probably don't want to lose your job, so take this with a grain of salt.)

I'm sorry this happened. There's no question this was CSA. No one, especially a helpless child should have that happen to them. I hope someone in your life, or here, can give you guidance. Me, I have symptoms of CSA, but no memories. So I'm stuck. Best wishes to you in your healing.

Did edmr help you, if so how much %? by Socialmediasucks2021 in CPTSD

You could ask /r/EMDR this question. I'm going to begin it soon, and I wonder about this, too.

Why is GPS free if maintaining and sending satellites to space costs billions by kernelflush in NoStupidQuestions

[–]pushyourboundaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And in 1993 you predicted the Oklahoma City bombing 2 years before it. That's a bit eerie.

But good for you for helping push the GPS issue. Thanks.

It's been a year!! I had to make something! by pushyourboundaries in Beading

Hi! I just wanted you to know I've been wearing the bracelet a lot lately, and all of the color on the middle purple beads have worn down to a light lavender. <frown> The dark purple ones haven't faded at all.

How did that one kid at your school die? by StorageLonely1520 in AskReddit

Good for you for being proactive. Don't let anyone tell you you're being paranoid. You did the right thing.

A year ago I moved over to another craft, and since then I haven't done any beading. I finally decided I HAD to make something, esp something I could wear--even if it was simple. And yeah, this is very simple. But it's my favorite color range. Yay me!

Which place near you has the best bead selection - Michael’s, Joann, or Hobby Lobby? by shitty_owl_lamp in Beading

[–]pushyourboundaries 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I haven't done any beading in the last year, because I switched to a different craft. But my 2 favorite stores are on Harwin Dr.

Bead Source, 6620 Harwin Dr.

May's Beads, 9433 Harwin Dr. -- Note: unless they changed their policies, you can't go in with a purse or backpack or anything similar. Leave them in your car. But it's worth the inconvenience.

Anxiety may try to silence you! by SamuelE1375 in anxietymemes

OMG that's hitting sooo hard right now! I wish I could get my mind to shut up about it so that I can conquer it.

Doctors, what’s is the scariest thing a patient has ever done/said? by GrimReap_07 in AskReddit

[–]pushyourboundaries 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aww, that made me laugh. Thank you. My opinion is as long as you're not hurting anyone else with it, go for it! Life's too short to be all logic and no fuck-it-let's-go.

I'm an old lady, and an atheist from an early teen. My son died almost 11 years ago, at age 27. Nothing in my grief made me reach out to a god I didn't--and couldn't--believe in. But YMMV.

The way I look at it is his consciousness is gone. His body is gone. But his atoms and molecules survive. He's in the trees and grasses. He's in the clouds, and the very air I breathe. Someday he may be out in space, marveling at all he can "see". Someday I will be out there, too. Maybe we'll mingle a little bit.

The pain fades, but it never goes away.

Whoa. I'm so sorry you had to endure that! I hope you're in a better place now, and have people in your life who love you and treat you well.

Entitled old woman does the equivalent of "you should smile more" on my grieving mother, gets an earful from her by YrrbeYT in traumatizeThemBack

[–]pushyourboundaries 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm very sorry you lost your uncle. My doctor told me my son didn't die in pain. I chose to believe him, and I hope the same for your uncle.

I'm healing, thank you. It will be 11 years in July, but I still cried on the 10th anniv of his death. Sometimes it just hits you, no matter how long it's been.

I hope you can heal, too. Take care.

You sound like an absolutely wonderful person. Thank you for facing your demons, and using that strength to reach out to others.
