PTSD Barbie III

Again I find myself wishing for clarity in the big, sloppy of alphabet soup which my damaged memory has made of the many, many professionals who have been part of my long, tedious recovery from child prostitution/pornography. Who are those vague people behind the diplomas and acronymic job titles who referred me to the "Incest Survivor Support Groups?" How accurate are my memories surrounding the rage reflexes triggered by the empowered victims of those groups? My rage reflexes produce some of the most psychotic episodes in my psychobaggage car. I donae trust **ANY** of my own memories from my psychotic breaks. The victims of my rage are likely to have the more accurate memories. I was highly intoxicated on the all natural drugs of my psychotically over-developed survival instinct. My memories of my psychotic breaks are more etherreal than memories of nightmares I had in my sleep.


Leaving that unavailable information in its psychic broth for now, an unidentified quiet voice is gurgling from that broth that, despite culltural AssUMptions, there isnae a natural victim bone in my body. Me acting the victim is equivalent to putting a beaten crazy bitch wolf into sheep's clothing. Bye bye black sheep and all other sheep in the flock, too. Maybe the shepherd, as a snack. I doesnae think that hooked stick is gonna save ya. I'm psychotic, not stupid or physically disabled. All those poor little victim sheep in the flock arenae safe with me in my vulnerable states. My all-natural warrior instincts still feel the drive to protect those poor little victims. Flight in progress. . . Look out wilderness, here I come to lick my wounds and pray for healing.


I believe my 299 boot camp roommates were my first cognative exposure to the conflict between cultural stereotypes and feminine warrior instincts. That particular boot camp was the very last of the old Women's Army Corps. The next batch through those old barracks in Fort McClellan, Alabama was New Volunteer Army where the admission requirements for women were lowered to the point where an average woman could join the club. Of the HUGE body of women who took the admission tests the same day I did, two of us passed the muster. In the man groups, they checked pulses. Congratulations son. You're in. The old Women's Army Corps just might have been the largest body of geniuses ever assembled. As my tour of duty progressed, the gap between the WACs and the female NVA's grew quite evident. The 300 men to every woman ratio is quite difficult for your Average Jane. Empowered victim coming at ya! ! ! INCOMING! ! !


Still sorting. . .


It was glorius to see Big Bro and Big Sis playing happily together yesterday. They played with water color paints and the construction materials strewn about the yard from the porch construction works in progress rather than the gender specific toys in their respective bedrooms. The two of them share a magnificient aura when their bonds are strong and playful. Big Sis's princess costume now has a most unladylike layer of crud on it this morning.


My personal favorite definition of success is when I jump out of bed in the morning and exclaim, "Wow! ! ! I get to do **THAT** again!!!" This MLK school holiday morning I feel successful enough that I am tempted to bump the mood indicator up to the big "D" shaped grin. Donae believe I will, though. I amnae any longer welcome in the BP groups, but the manic euphoria which earned me a seat in those circles before *They* started testing for med compliance still worries me. Still saluting all nag flags.

Empathy in sorting and anger SIH (sister-in-healing).

After a month of sorting med records dating to childhood abuse for worthless attempts, I been cycling around my version of memories and I too wonder about there’re accuracy.

After being a PA for a psychiatrist, I’ve learned the lingo but reading those files even with that understanding makes me question WTF actually happened. Add in the versions from other doctors and family members who were there and it’s a nasty mess of they said and those said vs memories I wasn’t even willing to attempt on decoding anymore.

The flashbacks were enough to encourage me to bury those files along with everything else now that they’re no longer necessary. It’s hard enough with my previous providers regularly resubmitting my medical files to my new providers and jacking up my current health records annually to have to keep straight. I don’t need to add the previous 30 years to that ongoing mess. (How many times can a provider change your records for only one year of treatment..., I’ve reached over half a dozen version so far and none of them match up.)

Here listening, my friend.

I’d enjoy the comradeship between Big Bro & Big Sis while you can. I found when my girls were bonding a great healing therapy for my own messed up childhood memories. Maybe they can can help bring some peace to the chaos of sorting by giving you some happy new memories.

Leave the definitions to the professionals and rely on you own, SIH. In the end we consist only of our own memories and perception and proof is always subjective depending on whose perception you’re relying on. Somewhere inside I believe we know our truths even under the layers of our perception vs opinions & perceptions given to us by others, and our instincts will guide us to the truth when we’re ready to face it.

Supporting you every step of the way as you untangle this, Arfie.

If needed you supply the bucket of water, I’ll supply the dolls & firecrackers, and together we can tie our confusing pasts to the M80s & dolls, set them off in a glorious display of sparkles, then drown the flames, and burying them in the desert.

Hugs & love

So sweet to see you say, "It was glorius to see Big Bro and Big Sis playing happily together." That alone is a miracle after what these kids and you have been through in the last few months. It's amazing we humans can have such happy moments after tragic, traumatic loss. Thanks for sharing this one, arfie.

Your PA schooling only makes you harder for this grizzled old bitch wolf to talk to my spurty expert. Most of the vocabulary used by 1972 pros is in the Pop Psychology archives, right next to The Freudian slips and cocaine snuff can. The popular sport of invalidating old school vocabulary is confusing beyond belief in my strictly personal psychic healing. Mixed psycho signals personified. . . Educated objectivity is quite beyond my damaged neurons, as is sorting a PTSD flight run from a "Manic Delusion" from JPC (Just Plain Crazy). And keep your explosives of all and any class away from my campfire and my troll dolls, especially in the dry desert regions. What you do with your dolls at your own campfire is yours to sort. Not even Big Sis has been able to get me interested in *her* dolls. I'll build you your doll case, Precious Princess, but your on your own for hosting the dolly tea parties. I might come sit at your fire after you are out of explosives. Being supportive shouldn't include getting body parts blown away.

Yes, Muji. It feels like one of Old Gnarly's finer miracles. Prayers ongoing.

No worries, Arfie. I tend to avoid firecrackers these days even during the seasons. I prefer a good distance between me and them these days. And I always have a bucket of water for when my husband decides to play with them, and a hose.

It was meant more of a joke, my friend.

As to the PA years, it’s still a curve that I continue to learn the lingo still changes according to whatever is the newer pop-psychological trend. I’ve given up on new school and been going pre-1900s. It’s been fascinating reading and makes me honestly wonder what happened to psychology after Freud.

As for reading my own medical files..., knowledge doesn’t bring much comfort when just three years take up two medical folders and that’s not even the psyche records.

Hugs & support continue
