Brainwashing

As I work through my trauma-esq issues and come out the other side, I recognize that my having been brainwashed as a child/infant has been and continues to be, a key to recovery. I was brainwashed to believe: 1. Not to believe myself 2. Not to listen to myself and to accept said behaviour from others 3. To accept 2nd (or last) class behaviours from others (not just verbally) 4. That fighting back is worse than death 5. That death is the outcome of any type of pleasure 6. That no... Brainwashing

Hello everybody, I am new here. I want to let you know something I ve been battling with in hopes that I find someone with experience that my shed some light. My husband of 18 years had an affair with a coworker now 2 years ago. We have medical offices and I used to work there also. We have more than one office so while I worked on one office they had encounters in the other one and vice versa. I found out as we traveled together and he got a text from her.

More Odd Trauma Stuff In Therapy

I turn into a different person in therapy. In real life, I am a highly competent and confident adult, but in her office, inner child takes over. It s as though I have a dual identity. It s an internal battle and I watch in amazement every time I go in there that adult disappears and the tortured young one who is shut down takes over. I know I struggle staying present and keeping my eyes focused on one thing is almost impossible. They dart all over. Eye.contact with my therapist is very... More Odd Trauma Stuff In Therapy

Self Harm When T Is Away?

This is a fairly short post but slightly complex situation. Up until quite recently I had been doing very well to the point I was thinking of finishing therapy. My T takes a few weeks off every year. Due to the day my sessions fall on, this is roughly a month for me. I m into week 1 minus T and already fallen back on self harm. I haven t done this in well well over eight months so it s a fairly major regression for me and makes me quite scared about the next few weeks! My T says if anyone... Self Harm When T Is Away?

Unlearning Learned Helplessness

Okay. Learned helplessness has rather crippled me most of my life. How I learned it? I got hit and punished for things that had little to do with my own behavior, and everything to do with the feelings of my parents towards one another and towards the outside world. It s not that I did not bump the tripwire and set them off. I was a normal kid, doing normal kid screwup things, or just normal kid things...I was slapped more than once for trying to climb into my dad s lap. I was slapped... Unlearning Learned Helplessness

When Is It Too Much?

I am starting to really question my Psychiatrist. In the morning I am taking Prozac and Celexa. In the evenings I am on Seroquel and Prazosin. Doses are high for the Prazosin, but the others are somewhere in the middle I believe. Not low, but not high either. I am wondering if it s too much. I feel so blah all the time. I feel as though I am groggy all day, and just want to sleep. Then at night I am wide awake and can t sleep even with taking the Seroquel. I was originally taking the Prozac... When Is It Too Much?

I m fuming inside after a combination of reading the thread about people s opinions on why people commit suicide (my own fault, I knew it would be a trigger), looking fruitlessly online for more resources, and thinking about my own life.

I used to think I was molested but I don t have any recollection of that. I don t know how else to explain the weird things I did. I used to want to hurt other kids and I wanted to be hurt. I knew how to masturbate when I was 6 or 7, (maybe even 5, it started when I was at my old house and I lived there when I was 4-8 so I don t know exact age) and I always tried to hurt myself down there.

Tips For Having Serious Discussions

I ve been dating my dude for over 3 months now. He s a combat vet with PTSD. As many can probably relate, he has huge difficulty talking about serious stuff and the only reasons I know anything intimate about his life are those random moments he chooses opens up.

Who Did You Look Up To The Most While Serving? (chance To Brag If You Want To...)

Last night it took me a while to fall asleep. Rather than end up thinking about all the crap I usually do, I tried to come up with something new, something different to think about. Something positive out of those 20 years I served instead of all the pain and suffering it s caused me. After a few failed attempts I fell on the idea of who inspired me to be better, to believe in myself. I settled on three people who inspired me: 1. AMSC Parker (E-7).

My husband and I are separated. Too many reasons to write about here. Bottom line--I m all in but he still has one foot out the door, so to speak. One of the problems is that for all of our marriage I wasn t all in and because of this undiagnosed ptsd, I had no idea why but I treated him like crap.

So many of us supporters have a lot of anger about our situations, about the actions (or inaction) of the sufferers we care about, about other things in our lives that are not under our control. Especially if we re women, we are often socialized NOT to express our anger at all. And whether we re women or men, if we re close to a person with ptsd, it s usually not such a good idea to direct that anger toward the sufferer we love.
