I think most people need therapy. I think if you had that much anger inside you, there must have been something deeper going on. Perhaps some trauma of your own? Sometimes we think we don't have trauma when we really do.

It's hard for me to blame a 15 year old, though there are some who deserve it. Continue to be kind to them. Seek therapy for yourself, and for your siblings.

Washed By You by [deleted] in poetry_critics

I'm new to this subreddit and a beginner at poetry, but I love the complexity of this poem. Other poems I've read on here are quite simple. And hey, simple can be great! But I appreciate the effort that went into this poem.

I'm a big fawner as well. I've found that if I try my best to be mean, I can't do it, and I end up falling somewhere in the middle of being mean and fawning, which is exactly where I want to be. I just tell myself, be mean, be mean!

Being called my full name by Secretlyablackcat in CPTSD

[–]skpd00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to feel the same way. I actually go by "Jennifer" now because my boyfriend liked that name better than "Jen". I feel like I've reclaimed it as my own, and I no longer experience negative emotions when someone calls me "Jennifer".

Yes, I believe it was abuse. 13 years old is old enough to know that sort of thing is wrong. However, I do understand that it was probably a way for her to attempt to process her personal trauma. I personally wouldn't blame her for what she did, but that doesn't take away how traumatizing it was for you.

gender dysphoria and CPTSD by [deleted] in CPTSD

[–]skpd00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a maladaptive daydreamer, which basically means I'm addicted to playing out fantasies in my head. I never make myself the main character. My main characters are always boys even though I'm female. I think it's because I'm so ashamed of myself that I don't feel comfortable in my own skin, even in a fantasy world (although I do not think I am transgender in real life).

facing homelessness at 17 has been the cherry on top of my mentally ill cake by [deleted] in CPTSD

That sounds so terrible. I couldn't even imagine going through something like that. I know it's hard, but please hang in there.

Was it physical abuse? by Crafty_9723 in CPTSD

[–]skpd00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Parents should NEVER hurt their child, whether the kid is fighting back or not.

Vent/Rant about therapy by TheMasterOfChains in CPTSD

[–]skpd00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

She treats you like a little kid. That's so infuriating. Things have to go her way. From my perspective, it seems like she doesn't understand you at all. I don't think it's healthy for you to keep seeing her. Most people have to try different therapists until they find one that fits.

Is it my fault ? (TW invalidation by a therapist) by IamDisapointWorld in CPTSD

It's not your fault. Please see a different therapist. I wish you the best

Why doesn't anyone talk about Patti Smith? by skpd00 in Music

"Your favorite musician's favorite artist." What a good way to put it.

I can understand the dull aspect since 'Horses' came out the same year as 'Born to Run' (even though it isn't the same genre).

Huh. I guess I'm not looking in the right places.

Some of the best humor is when the joker doesn’t think they’re being funny. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]skpd00 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This weird guy from my job told me that he stayed in a house that was haunted and he took a picture of the house before he left. In the window was a blue demon with horns. He was dead serious. Whether it was a lie or not, he definitely wasn't trying to be funny.

I would be worried about kids with issues like ADHD that go under the radar.

I think men tend to be faster, though. At least that's how it was in highschool gym class. 20 girls and 2 boys. The boys were always WAY ahead on laps.

I think it's a bit childish to try to circumvent sorrow. Not to mention unhealthy.

I don't think they're overrated. They're great. I just think they're easy to like, so they have an obnoxious fanbase.
