Anyone Have An Experience Of "internalizing" A Therapeutic Relationship?

I tried to bring the old one back to life but I think we need a new story. So this is how this works. I say three words (and only three) and the next poster picks up to add on to it making up a story as we go. Example: Post 1: I walked to Poster 2: the neighborhood park Poster 3: and saw a Make sense? Lets see if we can make a long story! Ok so lets start with: And saw a

He Said It Was All Consensual....

This is a silly game for all of us to connect whom usually disconnect. I will start with a word. The next person to post must post the first word that comes to mind (articles and prepositions do not count: the, a, an, of, etc.). The next person looks at the last post, posts their first word association, and so on. Please post your word at the end of your post so that this is the last word the next person reads and their association can be clear! The fun of the game is getting from...

Mental Health Stigma

First off this is not a problem. More social. I am married a former soldier of over 30 years. When he hears an instructor yelling out orders at his men whether it be in a movie or song my husband gets excited. It pumps him up and gives him goose bumps. It takes him back to his glory days and his brain is triggered by what I will call mental muscle memory and floods him with adrenolin and feel good hormones. We play with each other. Like he has taught me voice procedure and the lingo and... Former Soldier Gets Excited By Drill Sergeant

Can't Bear Their Eulogies

So this is a forum game I didn t see on here. I post 6 random letters and the next poster makes a real sentence that would make sense out of them then leave 6 more for the jext poster and so on. Example: IAOFTD I am out for the day. Make sense? Ok, here are my 6 random letters, lets see how far we can take this. TJAYFN

Double Duty: When Both Partners Have Ptsd

Im trying so hard to distract myself but, There s this part of me that wants to die. I imagine jumping off of bridges, laying down on railroad tracks, overdosing, shooting myself, stabbing my heart, drowning, etc...I imagine it happening and imagine I won t even feel anything when I do these things. Its like my spirit wants to be free, but the other parts see no other way out, like they are trapped and have no alternative. I wish I could die, but not completely. I just wish I was a spirit... S/i

S/i

Since it s only been 3 years since I ve started to remember past traumas and learn that I have DID, I don t have a good handle on thinking about whether a place is going to trigger a flashback. Apparently where I went to day- to a beach- has memories attached and a younger part or parts went into flashbacks. I don t even think about that as being a possibility because I don t remember my childhood the same way. I remember this beach being a fun place and never gave it a second thought. I...

Does Anyone Else Ever Feel….

I am hoping this is a cool idea . . . I realize I was just having an emotional flashback due to an argument taking place in a parking lot near me. I completely froze, lost it! And remembered how scared I would become during the fights in my home. I tried my best to look invisible. The few times I tried to get involved I got hurt. Nights are often hard for me.

Conflicts In Communication

I feel a bit guilty about posting about myself because I read and try to support others on the forum who have far worse issues than me. However, I need to make this post because life is simply too much for me today. I ve been crying a lot this morning and still haven t managed to get out of bed. I m taking my meds, I m seeing my psychiatrist and I m trying to keep going but it really doesn t seem to be working at the moment. Some of you may know that my job has been made redundant and...

Trying Out Tickets

Spiders have never really scared me, but I have had a plethora of nightmares associated with the ugly things. Is there some reason/ symbolism for this? I have night terrors as well, so these spider nightmares are far less severe. Still curious. Everything I have found claims spiders are symbols of manipulation. But I can t think of any reason why I would be manipulated...it doesn t fit with my trauma.

Life Is Just Too Much

Hello I read posts and articles elsewhere discussing pathological/disordered personalities -- borderline, narcissist, vulnerable narcissist, avoidant, and the list goes on. I read all descriptions and think -- Oh God, that s me (narcissist?!) Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone else find that these labels (personality disorder) add to or create shame about processes that are common to those with CPTSD?

I have a pattern of major depression every six months. Normally I am mildly depressed. I no longer enjoy cooking, going out, or anything that I used to enjoy doing. Normally around the sixth month, I go through a bad week. I jump on an airplane fly somewhere with no intention of what I am going to do when I get there. I drink heavily then come home. I normally don t drink at all. Only during these episodes. Yesterday, I told my wife I needed some space and went to the hotel 1 block away.... I Jumped Yesterday

Help Desk Gone - Tickets In

I have been in therapy for a couple of years. I have a big problem since the beginning where I cannot participate in my session very well. It is as though I turn into another person completely when I enter the room and, I do not understand why but this is only in therapy and sometimes in social situations. It frustrates me so much that I want to quit going and nothing is helping. I am out of control. When I described this to her, she responded I may have DID. I know I dissociate sometimes...

Able, Willing and Diagnosed

Significant Link Between Nightmares, Suicidal Behavior

I catch myself being really callous and unfeeling at times. It scares me, that I can be so unsympathetic sometimes and have no regard for those I don t like. With people I like, such as friends, family, generally friendly people, it s different. But with people that I don t like, what goes through my mind can be quite scary. Even if they didn t do anything wrong, but annoyed me in some way (even if they weren t aware of what they did), I won t be empathetic in the slightest, and at times...
