Ignore#CBT #DBT

Ignore and https://repeat.The intention and impact of one person's personal attacks, is https://fair.But the coordinated efforts of multiple, is a https://attack.Ecspecially when the person attacked, is alone, without support and seeking care.I've watched it happen to women, in the workplace, in social circles and families.it takes a certain type,a certain personality and hurt, to inflict that type of isolation and pain, upon someone you say, you care for.
And the audacity to flip the script on that person, once they realize it. Denying someones reality and reason, is a different https://level.Ive kept multiple diaries because I learned over time, they will, say it never happened, they do not recall and rewrite the facts to suit their narrative, because they do no harm, no matter https://what.Do not spit in my face and call it rain.

My happiness made you mad? #CPTSD #CBT #DBT #avm

We laughed and were happy until it bothers https://you.Our giggles made you https://mad.Talking and bonding wasn't celebrated,it was a https://intrusion.Every attempt we have made,has been met with defensiveness,contempt and a pattern of https://munipulation.We speak about the issues as they arrive, we resolve and move https://accordingly.And we revisit the issue if https://needed.There is a mutual respect and give and take, for there to be a https://relationship.I do not understand why a person would hold that much contempt, for the ones, that put them, first.to turn to the ones, that hurt https://them.We will always invite, include and stand up to support others, who supported https://us.But we wont be insulted, shamed and disrespected when we call out munipulation.Nope, not https://us.We have gone through this before, too many times.

Spoken#avm #DBT #CBT

Missing people, for what brought out, in you, is a different type of grief. You seperate from that role, you played, if you had one. A daughter, a sibling, a spouse, friend, mentor.
When the role, is title https://only.There isnt grief, it dissolves naturally, fades away, easy and with cuts.
When that title, has influence and ground, the greiving is intense, deep and https://abrasive.That role, can strip away the layers gently or ware them down hard, it is a choice people make, who are you.
I decided to remove the layers,one by one and they hurt others, falling https://off.I asked for help and was https://dismissed.I confided and was met with defensiveness and https://denial.I sought help and was told to https://stop.I have now stepped back farther to recognize, the isolation, miscommunication and assumptions,that have plated, the narrative of my https://life.I am blessed to have had a handful, that new and know, who,I am.
Gossip and hearsay, whether true or false, says more about you, than whats being said. My son knows https://this.A large numbers of adults, do not.
And I do not sit at tables, where the course, of socializing is, speaking ill of those, not at the table. Two faced lives, do not belong in my https://life.I like to praise others, compliment their loved ones and encourage https://growth.Not scheme and chastise with guilt and https://judgement.And if pointing it out makes you uncomfortable, try again, smile, give https://grace.Try it, I did and it is easy for me to fall back and I see, https://now.Clearer now and boundaries are stronger than https://before.I will always have good memories of my life and be grateful for the good the pendulum brings.it is what I can https://control.Are you grateful for your mistakes or ashamed? Shame does nothing but paralyze.
And I learned that before talking, shame.

So now, I talk as much as I can, when I feel frozen.
It works it out, like a knot, breaks free.

They, then leave me alone, when I tell the truth and I do say the truth, when I talk.
If I hurt you, then speak to me https://directly.Not your friend or neighbor, me.
Thirsty Thanksgiving Thursday giving thanks before the cooking starts,gravy goodness and kitty cravings!!!!

You are angry, at the wrong person#DBT #CBT #artheals

I am disappointed in a woman, I admired. A few to be https://frank.She confided in me,with malicious https://intent.Dressed herself up as a feminist but secretly defends misogynistic vues,for the sake of the male https://ego.Has an elitist demeanor,overly critical and https://judgemental.The denial and anger, from this person has caused damage to years of growth, but denial runs deep...Sorry.Degrees do not make you a feminist, sorry.
I mirrored it.
I told exactly what was happening, exactly how it felt and how it was destroying the https://home.I figured out what was https://happening.I am not stupid, nieve or am I a wolf in sheep's clothing.im exposed and you watched.
I used to tell him, do not judge what happens behind someone elses marriage, you have no https://idea.I sat and watched, for years and kept quiet.
I begged, cried, pleaded for https://years.I faught and lost.
All the same issues arise, with me, out of the picture, https://funny.I am not surprised or looking for a fight.im looking to learn new and grow,put these last six years behind me for good.
Yes, six https://years.Six years ago, I saw everything and everyone, for what it, really https://was.Thank you for showing me the truth.
I wish, they could have left my Son, out of https://it.But I have learned, the kid knows, in the end, whos https://who.Who was there.

And, One day, someone will ask and they won't know any of the players, and that will feel https://good.I look forward to that day again.
Having a support circle, that is healthy, secure,transparent and https://resilient.A circle, that shows up, fully https://invested.I have had it and I will https://again.I cannot blame the ones, who needed it more.

Let the professionals do the healing work.you made it hurt,I lost time and you dragged me.you knew, did not care and were happy, at the worst time in my life.
I supported his decisions and that went against, yours.so you, went against me.
I remembered everything.

Projection#CBT #artheals

Ive been technically " alone" for a very long https://time.I have shelter and financial https://support.I am grateful, unbelievably grateful for https://that.Those outside, feel I have done, this, to myself. As if I put a razor blade barrier around me, at some point, in the last four years.

I understand who and how, https://now.But for the last two years, many went out of their way, to make, me see how alone I https://was.And to teach me a lesson on, family ties.
That, is not, support.
I will https://pass.But thank you for teaching me....

That you can not come with health conditions or a life lived https://history.You are https://damaged.He should not have to care for her.

You will be at fault, for others lies, about your https://past.You will be damned, for your personal https://history.For it is too be aired out like the dirty laundry, for fun of https://course.But not by you, by the women who hate you.it must be true.

That if you ask for help, everyone will be asked, what to do, but you.it is not about you.it is about what they have done, for you.

When therapy is involved, no one will show up, EVER,DO NOT ASK.

If you complain, at all, you are ungrateful and need to be https://quiet.Never confide in anyone.
Do not look for resolve, answers or reasoning, you will be arguing.
If you are a woman, know your role, your place and do not, tell the truth.Lie,look good and shut up.
You can tell people the version that makes, THEM, look good, but do not, tell your truth, their truth only.

Take Pills prescribed, as many as they tell you https://to.Numb yourself, do not feel the feelings and do not question those https://feelings.Repress everything.

I have been here,talking it all https://out.Everyone else can debate, criticize, judge and trip over themselves, assume away, please.im approached by strangers, insulted and followed, for what? Intimidation.Ok? It makes you look well, weak, all of https://you.That strength in numbers mentality doesnt apply here, https://sorry.Ive seen your work.

After all the namecalling and trash gossip, cloaked as concern and care, stops, then what?
They pretend nothing happened?Same in my family.
And it,all goes away, right? nope.

Im not going https://away.And people know, if anything happens to me.
When you project your own delussion,for your orchestrated "win", upon me, you loose, not me.
It is not a loss for me,maliciously trying to hurt me, is not something I run towards or will try, to fix, out of desperation.
That is your mess to clean, not mine.
It is transparent, who is running this circus and I am embarrassed, for all involved, if they could come to me directly, Id be happy to talk...Funny how that played out.
When the masks fall, wow,they fall by the https://dozens.Freakin dominoes over there.

I embraced that part of getting therapy, it felt https://great.I saw through the lies, the hiding, the comments. Why the problems now?

When people try to flip the script, they panick, rally and get messy, you guys got messy...real https://quick.You might want to find a therapist or new life coach, something other than eachother,cut back on the drinky drink and gummies maybe.

An outsiders perspective on how to treat someone in crisis? A suggestion, thats all.
But atleast I know now.
Thanks to all, involved.

Difficult day is done#CPTSD #CBT #DBT #

Do not look for healing, at the feet, of those, who broke you.

I read that, paused and cried for a https://second.I am enjoying the holiday week.im grateful
and trying as hard as I https://can.Rereading past entries, looking for dates, I came across a couple, that showed how good I was doing.
Why would a group of people try and set a person off, for fun?Let's watch her get upset, fail? For why? For a group, that has everything, to do that,is something much deeper than,teach her a https://lesson.I fail constantly and when I see someone else, struggling, I go to them, even strangers.

You sat and watched me struggle, you knew, I was https://confused.Then you laughed at, my confusion,over time, again and again.
We are not the same.

I am https://approachable.I know a gossip and I am, not, to them.#CBT

I never enjoyed sitting around people who, judge,mock,belittle,put down,criticize and try to discredit people, for having a seperate life experience, difficult upbringing and outloud bigots, gross. I do have an extremely low tolerance for juveniles relationships,with coy and flat https://affect.I do have a sense of humor,darker than some anticipate.
I am approachable, if you are genuine, kind and https://forthcoming.I will make you uncomfortable, if you are on script,fake and an accomplice.

I do not have time and grace for those with malicious https://intent.And those that have attempted to puposefully put me there, I am not, who I was, then As, none of us https://are.I am all the names you have been using,plus more, just like your daughters and https://grandmothers.I am all the rage, anger and regret, you've been told, to be https://quiet.I am every bit, in tuned to the game, that has been played on https://me.I am sorry and relieved, I am better than before.And, I remember all of https://it.For that, I am https://grateful.Keep trying though.

My faults#DBT #CBT #

I write as a way to express https://myself.I do not have anyone to talk to on a regular https://basis.Ive been told, I like to hear my own voice, that one hurt. I have my art, writing,my son, my pets and small https://goals.I do not have friends anymore. When your health flips, your mind goes whppidy doo, https://too.Then your mental health becomes, top priority and it is not easy, at https://all.There is no faking https://it.I realized, a few years ago, I had less than a https://handful.I depended too much on my spouse,one friend,who actually didnt even like me and a https://frenemy.I do consider, a group of women, I shared a classroom with,my lead teachers, my https://friends.All of our lives, are busy, but that bond,will never sever for https://me.I have had enough, of
Relatives who are nice to my face but gossip when I https://left.I found, a majority of people in my world, did that, to https://everyone.Certain ones, have spent yheir entire lives spreading a narrative.So, I removed myself. I only became more aggressive and outside my character.
I cannot grow when all around me stays, as https://is.I cannot be,the only one looking for growth, accountability and change, to only be met with stonewalling and https://defensiveness.To expect someone to have a expiration date, to their own discovery, is wrong.in two months, you must be https://healed.Are you serious!

Not knowing the layers of trauma, a person has been through,is why, you don't play judge and Jury, to someone elses experience.
You sit with them, learn, at their pace, what is unraveling and https://why.Not set up to destruct to https://rebuild.That is playing with an order, already set, that noone but that individual, can https://dismantle.You are doing a disservice to your loved one, if you think, you know best.you only know, your perception, not theirs.

If You, will not, by choice,communicate, answer openly, or share insightful thoughts, engage and be vulnerable,I do not want to be around you.

If you, chastise,shame and belittle me, for my past, to https://others.I do not want you,in my life or around me or mine.You're toxic and talk poisons, not support.

I want open minded,pure heart,self aware, no shame and no more $$ transactional relationships.
If you give me a gift, do not hold it over me, later, to get something you https://want.I do not keep score with kindness.

I am done with petty jaded gossip,enabling meanness and https://ugliness.And if Im a bitch for it, please, call me a https://bitch.My boundaries, have turned me into the https://asshole.I understand this.

I am bullying the https://bully.Im sick of watching people get away with mocking, belittling and denying someone elses struggles and https://experience.Who does that?

Projecting your inadequacy on to me, is weak and goes unwarranted.
I am good alone, when the company, you keep, stabs its own on the regular.
Sometimes loyalty protects those for shame and for history sake, rather true character. I will find out more as the weeks go https://on.I will keep writing, resting and building. All I can https://do.I will not be forced to "heal" at anyone, elses https://pace.When you delay the process,hiding truths, you compound the fall. And I wont apologize for being transparent, because I was.
I will not pander, to hiding parts of myself, for a couple people to feel comfortable with their own https://issues.Stay in your own lane, even when invited.

Expectations #DBT #CBT

I asked for clarification, Im told Im https://arguementative.I asked for inclusion and was told next https://time.I asked for response and told, I didnt follow https://through.I wanted order, told I was https://controlling.I need help, told I complain and want https://attention.Asked for attention, told I was too https://needy.I said Im not feeling right, told I was https://pretending.I was in pain and was told it was in my head.Couldn't feel my hand, told to try https://harder.My legs felt funny, told I was https://lazy.Felt dizzy, told Im not drinking water.
Now, Im a bitch, a cunt, a nag, a bad person? No, thats not how therapy works.
Im remembering all of https://it.And others,denying what I went through, will not change my reality or https://circumstances.No matter how helpful, you feel, your orchestrated life lessons might https://be.I will still have my AVM,like I have since the beginning of my mother's existence, yes that far back.

Seriously? How? I will continue to express by https://writing.If it bothers you and yours, dont read https://it.Or better yet. Stop.
