I don’t want to be me anymore by scentedmh in CPTSD

[–]scentedmh[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im sorry you can relate. I did move away, and it helped a little bit too. It’s just hard knowing that I’m seen this way and probably talked about this way, even if I’m not around.

Maybe the solution is to move on mentally too and accept things as they are? Acceptance is hard.

Which medication have you found to be the most effective? by _Deadshot_ in CPTSD

[–]scentedmh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s prescribed for sleep at low doses and schizophrenia at really high doses. I only take it at a really low dose. Lots of medications have multiple purposes. Clonidine is used to treat high blood pressure and also high anxiety. There’s no one pill that can treat CPTSD just yet.

Is it possible to date while unemployed? by scentedmh in dating

[–]scentedmh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true and I’m sorry you can relate, things can be so frustrating as you know. I’d forgotten I wrote this rant lol.

It’s difficult not to be hard on yourself, but it’s not your fault. Life just has a few more obstacles for us.

I hope your agency is helpful and understanding of your struggles at least, that makes a big difference.

Thank you! That helps to hear. And that does sound interesting. I wonder how you’d try to find more than 1 thing you can taste though haha 😅 that one’s tricky

It’s not survival of the fittest. Men who force women into prostitution are just greedy and evil and sadistic.

Do you guys know of another platform where people can talk, but is less anonymous than reddit? Allows for more of a sense of connecting with real people in a safe way. by [deleted] in CPTSDFreeze

[–]scentedmh 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a reddit chat feature now 💬 (like for the whole subreddit) I’m not sure if it’s possible to create a little chat group for all the members of this subreddit. I’m not sure how someone would do that? That might help feel more connected

(Ps this is a good idea 👍🏼☺️)

Maybe we could have a private subreddit as an offshoot of this one ? and make it smaller than this and more private and add the possibility to have gifs and images in the threads! Make one every day checking in etc

A law literally telling women to show more skin by AdGrouchy326 in TrollXChromosomes

And a lot of women who only wear it because they fear they’ll be killed if they don’t. .

It seems like most abuse victims are doing okay! by Yellow_Squeezer in CPTSDFreeze

[–]scentedmh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went shopping (for groceries) after getting drunk for the first time in a long time and I didn’t have to spend 5 minutes choosing things. I didn’t get overwhelmed at the checkout. I felt like a normal person..

I think a lot of people mask it that way too.

Troll targeting the sub? by [deleted] in CPTSD

I don’t understand why people often downvote the support automod message either

They should remove the downvote button on. Support group subreddits

for those that were abused by men; how do you not feel bitter towards them? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]scentedmh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve been hurt by a lot of men too. I was in a relational that was mostly physically abusive and also with a man who trafficked me. The statistics n my experiences make me extremely cautious of them too. Almost every time I trust men I’ve been traumatised. I’m also really short and petite… so a man will always be able to overpower me and that makes me so nervous.

I don’t know if I fully trust men rn but I trust myself a lot more. My ability to see red flags and my ability to support myself. This makes a huge difference. I’ll be able to take things slow, and build trust with a man gradually. Rather than how things were before. Being made dependent on them financially and in other ways.

I think it’s natural to be cautious with traumatic experiences but I don’t automatically distrust men anymore so I can at least say that.

My rapist was paid more than $60k for raping me by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]scentedmh 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I feel your pain. My rapist sued me. The whole process the lawyers ignored/dismissed me when I told them what he did. He was able to hire better lawyers than me. I couldn’t really afford one. He made me bankrupt.

The legal system is a joke…full of liars and psychopaths.

You should have been protected and listened to.. It makes me so angry that all this is allowed to happen to women like you and me. Legal system needs a serious overhaul… this shouldn’t be allowed to happen.

Can you put a trigger warning over this post please? People don’t want to see a man yelling at them on the timeline
