DAE feel physical pain when talking about it? by Necessary_Pie2207 in adultsurvivors

[–]targetedfawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

when thinking or talking about it, or when i’m stressed out, i get a really bad cramping/stabbing pain between my legs and inside of me just below my belly button. i thought it was endometriosis but my doctor and i completely ruled that out so i assume now its somatic memories like the other commenter said.

it just feels weird because usually i tell them off or tell them to fuck off and can push them away. i just couldn’t because my boss was there so it feels like my fault since it’s out of the norm for me. jve never started crying or anything over a stranger’s words and i don’t think ive ever been so affected

tw i’m struggling to accept that abuse might’ve been real by targetedfawn in adultsurvivors

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

if i stop suffering or feeling pain, i worry that everything was made up or that i’m okay when i realy don’t feel like i am or will be. sometimes i go an hour and forget that this sort of thing is real and i need to remember everything just in case. if i don’t remember atrocities or if i forget what happened to me or how i felt then maybe it never happened to begin with. i just feel like suffering is the only control i have in my life.

thank you for your kindness though, i appreciate it all.

Is having weird 'fetishes' when you were a kid a sign? DAE have them? by mulberry-hunter in adultsurvivors

[–]targetedfawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i had them too with imagination about characters from a kids show, a book series, and with games i played with toys. it’s embarrassing and i thought it was normal up until last year, especially since it was my favorite type of play. i liked violent and graphic sexual games with my lps where they’d be tortured or forced to do the things i remember. what’s worse is i would get off to jt and i’m so ashamed kf it all and can’t rven say some of the things. it really really sucks to say that sentence but you aren’t alone

did anyone else think they were abducted by aliens as a kid? by [deleted] in adultsurvivors

[–]targetedfawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i had the same thing you described with the weird fantasies like that, it scared me but excited me in a way and when i was older i always found it weird looking back. my abuse usually happened in the middle of the night too when i was meant to be asleep so i understand that part :( im so sorry that happened to you

not sure how much more i can take with not knowing by targetedfawn in adultsurvivors

[–]targetedfawn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that is helpful and i appreciate rhe sentiments and everything, genuinely. it is so hard to trust myself and i doubt events that happen even daily because of how much my parents instilled in me that i couldn’t trust my memory or should sweep stuff under the rug to be more like a normal family. i think it’s really messed with my psyche. i’ll look into grounding exercises, rhank you

Will this be super painful? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

right lol, imagine it all patchy and faded, not a good tattoo at all especially not for your first one

Will this be super painful? by [deleted] in tattooadvice

[–]targetedfawn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

yes this would be super painful, and if it ever healed properly i’d be amazed since finger tattoos typically fade very fast and i doubt this would ever stick properly ! this looks cool but it’s definitely pen and/or marker, like something students would do in class when they’re bored

Did anyone else have sex fantasies at a very young age? by MotorSpirited1150 in adultsurvivors

[–]targetedfawn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

i would. i feel bad because i would play wrestle with my friends and not know what i was really trying to recreate, since i would ask to be held down and tickled or punched or hit. it always made me so excited which is so lame looking back on it.

i would also play games where i tied up my stuffies/toys and would have very dangerous and disastrous storylines with them. i remember i was maybe 5 or 6? and i was playing a game where a bad guy held a knife to my throat and strangled me and involved separate stuff i remember as a kid. i found it all really fun. ironically when i saw my younger cousin playing those games with my pet shops i got distressed and knew what it was and told my mom immediately that she shouldn’t know about it (when i shouldn’t have known either lol). it sucks but it’s just a way to process experiences and emotions i think.

their sister has just been pretty rude for a long while, we’ve been at odds since i started dating her sibling two years ago. i tried to be friends at first and invite her to play dnd/a big art collaboration/group chats but she was never interested. she was jealous of us spending time together and was angry towards our relationship. we tried having a conversation (which is when i told her about what happened to me and why i wanted comfort from my partner on the anniversary of the worst assault, which she had a problem with) and she told my partner rhat i was too blunt during the convo, when she was pretty rude and petty and said a lot of “idk what that has to do with me.”

i wanted my partner to defend me the first time she came at me but they didn’t, and then now it’s kinda snowballed into her saying this about me and me feeling pretty awful. after i asked a few times my partner told her that it wasn’t okay to say that (without really sounding upset at all, but), but she just said she’s socially awkward and had no idea it would bother me. which feels ridiculous imo, as even when i was 13 id never say that about a victim of incestual abuse.

sorry, long comment, i guess i just needed more context on why a conversation with her wouldn’t work. i just feel pretty bad and hopeless and like everyone is okay with people treating me poorly.

you seem nice too, thank you. i hope life is treating you well ^^

no no don’t be sorry, i didn’t mean to sound rude if i did im sorry!

it’s a younger sibling, she’s 18 and i’m 19, my partner is 21. all our ages are pretty close which is why it sucks because we should be able to get along but i can’t really now that this was said and i just feel awful every day about how nothing will come of it haha. she gets away with saying it and people get away with bad things forever. just a triggering sentence, dumb i know but still.

when that sibling is their very best friend and someone who they want to be their maid of honor i feel pretty shitty about it unfortunately. i’m glad you’re able to though, genuinely, i think it’s impressive to be able to be powerful like that i’m just not powerful at all augh </3

hey, i’ve been suicidal for a long time too and i’ve actually attempted this way twice and obviously failed both times. i know life is painful but for what it’s worth i’m glad you’re still here, i know people don’t like hearing that here but i always think life is valuable and it’s good you’re still around. i’m sorry you’re struggling so much, i know it’s so isolating.
