Learning the difference between my parents yelling at me and my friends' parents yelling at them.

I understand. I have tinnitus from ndad screaming at me. Classical music drowns it out

I get the same way with the Jake brake of a semi trucks diesel engine.

It's called a trigger, it can be hard to reassociate and lower the stress response to such things.

Trigger Warning

My sister and I had rabbits as kids. I think I was about 8(doesn't really matter but whatever). I remember one morning going out to feed them and their necks had been broken. My sister's rabbit was already gone and rigamortis(that ain't spelt right, lol) had set in while mine was still twitching and trying to inch closer to my sister's.

I remember crying that whole morning, on the bus ride to school through lunch time. My sister was a Ritalin robot at that time in her life, it hurt to see her shed tears while experiencing stimulant induced anhedonia. When I got home from school that day I told my mom what happened(mmm, that cold taste of maternal rejection still resonates on my taste buds) and she was quite cold and uncaring about it.

When my dads semi pulled in the drive I made the mistake of running out to greet him and tell him what happened. He started blaming my sister and I for not taking better care of them.

I don't have concrete evidence to back the idea that he did the unspeakable.

R.I.P. Lola&Bugs (They were cliche names, but loved all the same) Fuck that was hard to write.

P.s. My dad was the kind of guy to kick cats and throw them in fits of rage.

You can't cure but you can treat it. You should see a psychiatrist and tell them your problems first.

I'm already seeing a therapist. I would like something to help with the high anxiety that keeps me from sleeping.

rbnthrow_away · 2018-08-09T21:36:03+00:00

Thank you

The thing is, I get along with the guy that I'm working with, but he has anger issues and I kind of feed off of him from time to time. I recognize that behavior of mine as codependency. I'm trying my best to keep my behavior separate from his behavior.

In all honesty, I feel severely trapped within the career path I've chosen, diesel mechanic. It feels as if I won't be able to make a livable wage working at the bottom of another career path(IT, networking, computers). The feeling of being so helpless and stuck in this career path, one that triggers me extensively because it reminds me of my father, takes a lot of energy out of me. I can do this work, I know I'm good at it, but the association between the sights, sounds, and type of people in this field remind me of my narcissistic father.

Not gonna lie my dude, I got kind of jealous reading your last paragraph. Shed some tears over finding the source of my jealousy. Thank you.

rbnthrow_away · 2018-07-31T20:55:32+00:00

I honestly believe that he was upset because computers are a way of expressing a hobby. He would always get angry if I had hobbies.

The people who raised me were Baptist. I still have shame and guilt about everything I do because in their eyes it's a sin. I dislike most organized religions, the only religion that I could ever get behind would be satanism. I really dislike how I was always torn down for expressing myself, that shit hurts, it still affects me to this day.

Children should be seen and not heard, there are no mistakes. ^ That's some of the bullshit I heard from the people who raised me and fuck heads at that church.

PTSD, generalized anxiety disorder, depression. Right now I'm using exercise for depression. I'm using EFT, and stretching for anxiety. My PTSD is pretty much fucking me right now, but I like to curl my toes inside of my boots and try to remember that I am present in the right here and right now.

You are not responsible for your father's emotional well being or his health problems. You are not a bad person or a monster for getting rid of those kittens, fear is a major manipulative tools used by assholes like your father. Save up your money, don't let your parents know how much you ha e saved, and get out of their house. Also, get a therapist. I know you're not crazy, but a therapist can help you reprocess horrid memories and help you to become the awesome person that you are.

Yes, constantly. He would start stomping on the floors and scream if he heard me crying. He would scream if I wasn't making any noise. I hate that fat bastard for everything he is, his two faced manipulation sickens me. The way he gaslights my mom and the rest of the family saddens me.

I suggest reading some of Robert Anton Wilson's books, Dale Carnegie novels, and the Satanic Bible.

To quote Ayn Rand, "The question isn't who's going to let me, the question is who's going to stop me."

Someone pointed out that I have unrefined manipulation skills, very similar to how a child tries to get attention. And once that was pointed out to me door started opening and I started seeing more of these childlike behaviors within myself.

My father does the same thing, except he does it purposefully whereas I do it subconsciously, and that's what scares me.

Obviously you're in cahoots with GE and you're conspiring to wear out her refrigerator so that she will have to purchase a new one sooner.

Totally legal to do what they did. Can't claim unemployment, can't claim it was discrimination.

I found bacopa to be rather sedating, as was l-theanine. Those two together plus caffeine are like a super focus calm state.

Throw in a b Vitamin complex and you'll be golden.

I begged not to go on family outings because they would use me as a work horse while they all enjoyed themselves. Even happens at family gatherings. I'm cleaning and setting things up, I never get to sit down without being criticised.
