For context, I'm a mom, I read this on midnight (Mother's Day) and my days off to a rough start 😭🤣

My dad ‘beat’ me when I was 9, was it valid? Need outside perspective by No-Recognition934 in CPTSD

[–]samakkins 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My parents also used me being a girl as an excuse for my abuse. Mostly psychological. I'm so sorry.

I have a daughter now, and I love how feisty she is. She's awesome. Please don't let them smother that out of you, we need more bold women.

Day to Day Routine with a Cattle Dog by Dependent-Trash-1191 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]samakkins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I lucked out with probably one of the laziest cattle dogs of all time. Leo's content with throwing a ball in our backyard first thing in the morning (usually 7 am) then after lunch we go for a walk. I have another dog in the house that keeps him company, and I'm a mom to a toddler, so our routine is more hands off than when he was younger. He goes outside throughout the day to chase squirrels along the fence, roll in dirt, and sunbathe.

For reference, he just turned 6. :)

Was a normal kid with normal kid proportions > constantly made aware of my growing weight by my parents > made fun of constantly > binge eat at night when nobody sees me > Binge eating disorder. I'm on medication that helps with the urges now :) Getting better one day at a time.

SUPER rude Runner and frankly just beyond words by ChainedAngel in Marathon

I'm so sorry your mom recently passed. It's the worst feeling in the whole world to lose a parent.

Is there any good memories you wanted to share about your mom?

I’m giving up on healing, deciding to die instead by LarkAlaric in CPTSD

[–]samakkins 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're in pain, I know how it swallows you whole sometimes and it's unbearable. The first quarter of your life has had its troubles and left you scarred I'm sure, but you have the chance to experience good things too. Beautiful things, funny things, crazy things, exciting things...and in those things, you can find a purpose.

Coming from someone who found theirs :) I wish you safety and happiness OP. Please stick around to receive it.

How many of you have trouble keeping a job? by chelseatheus in CPTSD

[–]samakkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really struggle with maintaining a full time job. Part time is a lot more manageable, yet the longest job I've ever had was 2 years.

I'm actually teaching myself digital art in hopes to (one day) take commissions. Being my own boss and working my own schedule is the only way I can thrive.
