Personality Disorders Support Group
Personality disorders form a class of mental disorders that are characterized by long-lasting rigid patterns of thought and behaviour. Personality disorders are seen by the American Psychiatric Association as an enduring pattern of inner experience and behavior that deviates markedly from the expectations of the culture of the individual who exhibits it.
Last week I went to a dr appt and A guy that tryed to rape me last year was there I was like what should I do. Then he walked up to me and said to me do you remember me from 10 months ago and then handed me a note. Then a Dr that nose me walked up to me and I was able to tell her what was going on. She removed me from the area and I filed a Veterans Affair police report. Anyway ever since then I have been have increased nightmares that are much more in-tendency and flashbacks with dissociation. I ended up in the hospital the next day and was their through Tuesday this week. This morning I had a major flashback that scared me very much. Any way I got in a fight with my boyfriend who brought up my past. I have tried to commit suicide many times in the past. and he was like you just going to try again and never get better. I feel unsafe where I leave, my 11 yr old daughter lives across the country from me., In April my mom received temp guardianship of me. We were suppose to go back to court on the Aug 31st but it got postponed for 6 weeks. So I am afraid I am never going to get off guarding ship. Right now all I want to do is cut and take tons of pills please help if you can
Reach deep inside you and aggressively gather all the energy and strength to fight for your right to live healthy and peacefully in body and mind. This world was not created for criminals to rob decent, respectable people of their joy. I would not give other people my power by abusing my body. If cutting yourself is your only way to cope then find a better way to express your anger and frustration. Perhaps shredding paper or by extreme measures find a stuffed animal or plastic doll and cut in to the material matter of these objects and not torture your own flesh; your body is sacred and you need to respect the privilege to live within such. And at least this way you dont have to deal with the pain and scars, which will constantly remind you of your emotional weaknesses.
There are many ways to plan your healing and rid yourself of fear. You already know much about overcoming obstacles. Have confidence in your strong abilities. Stay focused in your mind on what helps you to feel comfortable, relaxed and safe. Be creative and find useful ways to cope with your troubles. Enjoy your life. You have a civil right to be protected and live in peace. There is no need to fear. Just as the doctor came to your aid at a time in need, so will others be there to help you when needed. This sick individual has no more power over you. Trust in fate; it favors you.
I've been raped before; I never pressed charges.
Somewhere in time your abuser will pay for the crimnal act against you.
