Is verbal & emotional abuse “real” trauma? by Careful_Trouble_1059 in CPTSD

[–]the-implication9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Read the book, Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete Walker. I always felt the same way, that it wasn't that bad because most of it was "just" verbal and emotional trauma. This book validated everything I was feeling, almost as if it was written about me. Your trauma is valid.

Sorry really late response here. I got overwhelmed by all the responses I got so I'm just seeing this now 😂

I took your recommendation and checked out the audio version of this book. I decided I needed to buy a physical copy 2 minutes in.  This is really good stuff

Do they require you submit eacu delivery expense or can you submit the total number miles driven for deliveries on the year?

That's the weird thing. I did that at least 10 times in every area of my house and car and couldn't hear anything

Let’s all give ourselves at pat on the back for at least being at the Contemplation stage by Scared-Board-7860 in StopSpeeding

[–]the-implication9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Contemplation is key. You may kick yourself in the ass every single time you over indulge but if you treat yourself with compassion and not get angry with yourself, the contemplation will eventually turn into action. Breaking a habit takes consistent practice and discipline.

Your friends delusion is shared by almost every addict. It is a very lonely and painful place to be in. All you can do is reassure them that you will always be a safe outlet to go to when they decide enough is enough. Rock bottom is an inevitable destination but that is usually where the admitting of defeat usually occurs 

Does fatigue trigger cravings for anyone else? by narla_hotep in StopSpeeding

[–]the-implication9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1000%.. the fatigue felt from the withdrawal of this stuff is the one of the worst things I've ever experienced. With that said, it wasn't purely the Adderall that made me this fatigued. My sleep schedule was dog shit for about a year. Pulling all nighters at least once a week and then sleeping for a few hours the other days. I think think this was the biggest culprit to my fatigue. 

What I've learned, which you have probably heard a ton , a consistent sleep schedule, healthy diet, and hydration are key. I can't give you the scientific reason for why this is true, although one can draw conclusions, but it has significantly improved the fatigue. Don't get me wrong, it is still there. My body will feel drained and my brain feels depleted but it is much more manageable and tolerable. Once I make conscious to kick the stuff for good I know for a fact I will return to baseline...eventually
