Advocate for yourself #Medication #Depression #Anxiety #CPTSD #Addiction #Abuse survivor

17 years ago I was prescribed a medication which I do believe I needed at the time. It was to be short term, and not related to my
mental health.
Every doctor and nurse appointment since then I have queried this medication and the need to still be taking it. I was assured that I still needed it even though it took me to some pretty dark places.
Finally three months ago a new doctor arrived. And this appointment was a life changer. Without being unprofessional, he was amazed that I had been on this medication for such a long time, and he changed me to a different one.
What a huge difference - my mind is now so much more calmer, the dark thoughts have gone and life is so much better.
If you can, advocate for yourself
Medication is so helpful, just the correct ones.
Only you know you 💜. Take care X

Ego and pride

I lost my ego years ago being placed in positions I had no authority to be in. I watched people abuse children, minorities and disabled people on a daily basis by not being able to speak up for them, due to zero authority and zero support in positions in Behavior. Calling people out is not something I seek or enjoy. I give others time and space to sort out their own solutions and if they circle back to me, I engage but I no longer go out of my way or seek out solutions or help for others. I was available and willing. Time and time again for real connections and repair. That was not their intention, ever.
They did not want to engage with me. They do not want me, so why would I go back? Why would someone seek out people, that closed the door in her face? Why would anyone go back to people who ridicule, antagonize, mock and shame? Why would anybody want to expose themselves to that on a regular basis? To imply the most aweful things of a person and then turn and question why they aren’t around? To discredit someone their entire life? And then turn and try to play hero? The ones who did the most damage, are the ones, I have no interest in replying to.
The spokesperson, the gossip, the manipulative ones who say they “know”, when they have no involvement or basis in my life since I was a juvenile delinquent. Smearing my character will not hide your lies, your plots,your schemes or your lies against me. That family, the entire group of players need, serious help and not secretly. They need to be called out and told you don’t do that to people. You don’t withhold information from one person out of thirty, because you want them excluded. You don’t single one person out because they do not agree with your beliefs. You don’t single one person out because they see things from a different perspective. You don’t exclude one of dozens, because they see your motives clearly. You don’t lie and judge someone because they don’t have what you have. You don’t ignore someone who’s hurting because you were able to move on. You don’t hold someone else’s child to your households ways, without involving the parent. You don’t manipulate a young person about their parents. You don’t use your family members as pawns and clowns, in a circus that has no lion tamer!Oh And, You don’t try and traffic your sister or wife, because of a lie you can’t justify or no longer manipulate! But please involve some more people that haven’t been told the truth yet, please keep telling them to approach me. One time I might slip up and say what actually happened and who is who. As if I couldn’t drive by and see myself. But thats right… my eyes and ears are delusional now and absolutely nothing I’ve experienced has happened. All a dream in another timeline dimension and it’s all over now? Because I have a new phone? Seriously?
All the algorithms that they believed would sway me, a different angle every few days was pitiful and gross. It showed exactly who’s who and how the do perceive me, which has been a sitcom to view the multiple facets of your impressions of me. Get a fckn hobby, I’ve known and have screamed for you all, to stop, the entire time! I knew! And he knew I knew! It was the hypocrisy for me. I am no longer interested or even care for any type of reconnection or rebuilding of family with, anyone who would do these things to people, ecspecially their own family! Words face to face are an amazing tool of communication. But you cannot have repair with boldface liars who sabatoge people for fun.
I cry for her constantly, she was used and lied to, to hurt me. He never loved me. He kept me safe? No., he let another man come after me and showed him how, that is not protecting me. No woman deserves that, no kid deserves a man that hates women. I don’t care what her count is! No woman deserves that kind of treatment from anyone.
He hates women and hates community, and therapy people who care and talk about healing, feelings and life.His feelings, matter but others aren’t allowed to have feelings around him in his house, his matter only, what he wants matters, his time, his life, his family, his friends and his, all his, I am only a maid in his life. Nothing more. And he has let me know time and time again. A pretty maid I was told, by her. A pretty maid when I try and wear makeup. Maybe if I was blond? I could try harder but it is set, for me to fail. She said too many things she had no business knowing and he, told too many people, he was done. I write my feelings and they exposed them for all to read. Such supportive people. If it was done to me, you are next! And now, there is no way backwards, at all.That was not my doing, that was all, their doing. Now, nothing has been accomplished in six years because of their manipulation and chaos trying to fix what they broke. No one came to me for anything, no questions and no answers, because I wasn’t to be spoken to or heard, just put away for good. But I’m the one that needs therapy? Seriously!

Introduction

I am new to this group. I am in the active process of healing my complex wounds that occured from being sex trafficked by my parents from before three years old until 18. As well as neglect and every other kind of abuse. Last year my life came shattering down when an event as travel nurse occured with a patient that started the ball rolling where my past memories which previous I had none came back slowly and mostly through my body. This last year has felt at times like I was being tortured but over time I have become more comfortable sitting with the pain and I am starting to feel joy and peace for the first time ever. I would love to talk with others who are engaging in the healing process no matter where on the spectrum we are all different and heal at different paces.

I really wish I could cut ties. Her emotional abuse is really harmful.

I told my mom when I was 5 years old that the doctor made me wrong because I was supposed to be her son. She punched me in the head. So I told her I was just kidding. She told me to never say that again. I never said anything about it until...
Fast forward to 16 years old. I read the book titled Luna. It answered so many questions for me. I finally realized I wasn't alone.
I came out of the closet to my friends in December of 2009. I came out to my family on Valentine's Day. The next day I was kicked out for being a "disgusting freak tranny whore". My dad said I was trying to mutilate my body. My mom cried and hit me and asked what she did wrong to make me a freak.
Fun times.
I haven't spoken to my mom since August 10th. I have no intention of reaching out to her. And she's not going to initiate contact. So I don't know.

I’m new here!

Hi, my name is Voyager1. I'm curious about AddHd being connected somehow from growing up in a very dysfunctional family and having suffered mostly verbal and physical abuse in the form of slapping or receiving punches on the head. This is not a fake post or a joke. Thanks to all who wish to add a comment or follow up with me.

My heart hurts. Pandora's box opened in me today

The last time I spoke to my mom, I accidentally texted her one of my poems about my dad being abusive to me and the best thing he ever did for me was die. She texted asking why I said those things and I didn't bother replying.
I am so tired of this game of hers. So many people have told me to cut ties but you don't know just how traumatic it will be. I'd lose my only connection to my daughter. I don't talk about her cuz I'm trying to hold myself together.
3/4ths of my attempts to unalive myself were because I didn't want to live with the memory of the last day I saw her... Even now it's feels like I'm drowning.
I was a very broken mess. I was misdiagnosed and on something for depression and my mom would ask me if I took my pills cuz I wouldn't put up with her abuse. She thought pills would magically make me easier to manipulate. Boy she was very dumb.
I don't really know what I'm doing. Part of my subconscious keeps saying I don't deserve happiness.
I'm sorry. There's a lot of my trauma I haven't even told Pauley cuz I'm trying so hard to just exist and make people happy. I hurt, physically and mentally. But the mental pain is morphing into excruciating physical pain.
So the only way to even be marginally functional, I have to ignore my memories of my daughter and keep going.
But how could I do such a thing after my daughter was my only reason I stayed a*l*i*v*e back then?
So if you wonder what is in my head... Well, listening to music on my earphones actually blocks out my mental chatter. Right now I'm listening to Iluka and Ian Elliott.
I've got a nasty migraine. I can feel it in my eyes. Oh but it isn't possible for my eye disease to be causing migraines. I need a different adult strabismus surgeon.
So if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna try to shove my most painful memories back in Pandora's box.

My mom is a special kind of stupid

My mom is a certain kind of special
A few weeks ago my mom told me she doesn't believe I'm sick and that I'm doing this for attention. She told me I must have fucked with the MRI results. Then I must not have deformities in my hips cuz my Ped would have found it. And I'm probably screwing around with my eyes on purpose.
She said I shouldn't need meds anymore cuz I had a surgery and doctors don't screw up so my doctor must have been a scam. No mom, I had a multiple awards winning neurosurgeon.

My mom graduated high school and then immediately got a cute little job until she found herself a husband who can carry the family on his back. My dad on the other hand went to northwestern college. He owned a hardware store for my entire childhood. I worked for him on payroll when I turned 14 and he used my checks to get boat toys.

When I lived at home, one night my middle sister asked her dad "why do only men get prostate cancer? What part of the brain is it in?" He looked at me as milk shot out my nose. That's when mom defended the*redacted*... "Don't make fun of her, it's not like that's common knowledge!"

Any questions as to why I'd rather sleep outside a public library during a thunderstorm and they had an awning than stay one day in that house.

Personal - only post here 🥰

There are days when waking up feels like returning from somewhere deep — not broken, not lost, just carrying more than you let the world see. And before you step into the noise, you get a moment that belongs only to you. A moment where your breath settles, your body remembers itself, and your mind decides how much of its night‑world it wants to bring forward. You don’t have to arrive in full brightness. You don’t have to “power through.” You can enter the day in layers — the way your body actually prefers. Strength isn’t the loud thing people imagine. Sometimes it’s the quiet decision to keep going without abandoning yourself. In this community, you don’t have to pretend your pace is faster than it is. You don’t have to shrink your needs or apologize for the days that feel heavier. You get to show up exactly as you are — thoughtful, aware, and doing the work of staying connected to yourself.

Your mind and body have carried you through more than most people will ever know. That’s not weakness. That’s endurance. That’s intelligence. That’s lived experience that deserves respect. #Abuse alone in the slow mornings, the recalibrations, the small victories that no one else sees. You’re part of a group that understands the courage it takes to meet each day honestly. And honesty — even quiet honesty — is a form of strength that changes people’s lives. You’re allowed to take your time. You’re allowed to be human. You’re allowed to be here. Xo peace xo and love always xo #PTSD
