Something I Learned About Me

Brain biology! Eventually I will learn this anatomy stuff... "Autism spectrum disorders" (ASD) can include many changes: amygdala size increases, large cortisol reactions to stress, difficulty understanding one s own emotions, fight-or-flight nervous system responses to loud noises or even "normal" sensory input that isn t processed normally, and lots of emotional regulation troubles of different sorts,... with every person being somewhat different. ASD is largely genetic but was not... Research Re. Ptsd And Autism Connections

Writing Essay About Ptsd For English

I have been married for nearly 24 years and what a crazy ride this has been. I life full of constant contradiction, enough to make me feel absolutely out of my mind at times. What did I do? Kept trying? Why? I didn t want to break up my family but it has come with a heavy price, my health! I am currently in counseling learning about PTSD and fight or flight. I could not figure out what was wrong with me but now I so get it. The crazy thing here is that I have been an honest sincere person... Ptsd And Passive-aggresive Husband

I Hate Bugs.

I just got finished waging war on a spider I found whilst putting my shopping away. It was a big one too. With great big pointy teeth! Well no not really... but still Eeeeewwww! I hate those things! I hate them, I hate them, I hate them! I went to turn the light off and there it was on the wall. I ran to find a pair of work gloves and some paper to squish it in. You know what it did? Ran away right? Nooooo. It climbed up onto the bloody door jamb and dive bombed me when I went... I Hate Bugs.

If We All Lived In The Same Town....

Ok, it was a deliberately provocative clickbait title but it did catch your attention are there things that you have realised that, actually, it s not the outside world doing it to poor helpless you - it s you perpetrating the suffering on yourself, and you can damned well change that? or that the person who you ve been exhausting yourself supporting , could actually manage to find their own feet, if you d only give them the opportunity to leave their well attended...

Worried Gf Trying Not To Make Things Worse

I always thought the term "sex therapist" was a little redundant. What patient doesn t get into some sexual stuff at some point in their therapy? It s in intrinsic part of your psyche, so how can psychotherapy not cover it as well as other parts? How willing have your general therapists (or trauma specialists) been to talk about sex and sexual trauma, issues, fears, obsessions, etc? At what point would you say an actual "sex therapist" becomes more appropriate? Have any therapists ever... Sex: How Willing Should A Therapist Be To Talk About It?

Hoping For Support

Hello Everyone, I m new to this site but would like to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed reading the posts on here. I have found it truly enlightening and helpful as I have embarked on a journey with a man with PTSD. My story began a year and a half ago..I met a man who ( for the first time) I could see a future with. He swept me off my feet and I had this gut instinct that he was someone who I wanted to spend the rest of my life getting to know. We dated for 3 months. He lives an hour... It s Difficult But To Me... He s Worth It!!

I Got Rid Of The Memories But They Came Back...

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

Why Would I Keep Being So Disobedient?

What is this nonsense? Do others have daily constant thoughts too? Suicidal thoughts aren t normal... I recently realized that. (That was an ephiphany for me.. What is it like to not think of suicide? How do they feel normally? Weird shit.) Anyways. I ve always struggled with it. About 11 years. Dear god. What do I do? How do I stop it? Or will it always be a constant battle?

Newbie, Just Found This Site Today

I live with depression and PTSD with dissociation. When I was a teen my mother died. The rest of my family fell into drug use and alcoholism. I went hungry a lot. I had a boyfriend who was controlling and abusive who I relied on to feed me and a group of shitty horrible friends. When I broke up with the controlling boyfriend I became a target for a group of both his friends and people I believed were my friends. First came the social ostracism, the vandalism of my car, the physical assaults.... The Anp

I m a 25-year-old female who is a child sexual abuse survivor.

I m sure that I m exceptionally inexperienced in this area (never been kissed, never been on a date, never even had a male friend) -- I ve spent most of my life up to this point running away from men in an effort to feel safe.

I haven t been raped or done anything sexual I didn t want to. I have however been kissed against my will. I know I know pretty tame stuff on a forum like this where people have horrible stories. It s not the kissing that bothered though. It was the fact that I did not stand up for myself. I was a first date and we went to the movies. He leaned to kiss me and I told him I don t kiss on the first date. Well he didn t take no for an answer and held my face and well you know how a kiss goes....
