Hi I'm Wiccanwolf AKA The Wolf AKA Will Mac.
I'm Dx'ed with BP1, PTSD and BPD traits, I guess that's my intro, now to the reason for the post.
I'm not even sure how to begin, see I may tell people things about me but I share nothing. I can speak about how I was hurt and abused but there is nothing ever behind it.
But something happened to me today that has only happened once before in my adult life. I had a flashback, had to relive something I never previously remembered happening.
As I mentioned this has only happened once before in my life, but this was a different incident.
It rocked me to my core, I have never been startled into so much fear and helpless before and I don't vulnerable.
I don't know what the point of this post is except I needed to get this out and off my chest.
Hopefully as a member here I can help other with my other experiences and help them through their healing.

Can you identify what triggered this experience today? Might serve as a tunnel in to gain insight.
And then, slowly, insight has come. Facts have emerged. They're ugly facts that put my parents in an even worse light than I'd previously imagined, and my sibling, too. But they put the pain in context, and help me start making meaning of it.
That's why we're here. Welcome. It is not work suited to those who are faint of heart. You are courageous just to reach out as you have done. Make yourself at home among us. You are not alone, and it is worthwhile work.
I'm sorry that you had that experience. They're not very fun at all. They cause so many unwanted changes. Emotions, thoughts, physical pains....they're so not very fun!!!! :(
I wonder, perhaps this was simply just a post with 2 purposes. 1, to introduce yourself to the group. 2, to get this experience off your chest.
In either case, WELCOME!!! Again. I hope you find the help/support you need as well as offer it to those who are struggling. :) *hugs*
