- Long story short: I'm a peer support specialist which means I work with people recovering from mental illness to get them out into the community more, and one of my clients is incredibly triggering for me. He reminds me a lot of my abusive brother,...
- Does anyone else get triggered by really unkind and/or rude people? I've had countless abusive relationships in my life, and I'm noticing getting triggered more and more by unkindness. Anyone relate?
- It's my mother's birthday today and of course my narcissistic abuser of a brother has been keeping her on edge with whether or not she's coming. She has been frantically cleaning the house getting ready for him and her stress levels are so high....
- What do you do when your abuser is living a better life than you?
- I'm not even sure if I have a right to post here, but a repressed memory came up in which a childhood girl friend of mine consistently groped my breasts and butt, put her hand between my legs, and tried taking my clothes off when we were kids. After...
- Hey everyone, I was wondering what kinds of self-care tips you have for the anniversary of your trauma. Mine is tomorrow and I'd really like to take it easy. Any ideas?
- Do any of you think abusers can be good people who just happen to be abusers or does being an abuser disqualify you from being a "good person"? Many of my abusers seemed like good, nice people so I'm grappling with that debate. What do you guys...
- I had a really disturbing dream about my trauma last night: my dad who died from cancer was back to life, horribly ill again and was dying. It was much more vivid and emotional than usual. How do you guys cope with your nightmares?
- Just learned after talking to my therapist today that pretty much every single one of my friendships has been abusive over the course of my life. It's so overwhelming and devastating but all of the signs are there. Just a constant cycle of abusive...
- I'm kind of at a stand-still with how to even begin the recovery process for overcoming the psychological abuse from my narcissistic brother. Abuse damages pretty much everything about you as a person and my trauma has blackened every corner of my...
- Is it strange that my emotionally/verbally abusive brother shuns me for months at a time? I know it's pretty common for abusers, but at the same time if he only 'likes' a social media post for example after not seeing/hearing from him for months, I...
- Hey everyone,I'm conflicted about coming out as bi to my mom because she's really Christian, yet she's become more politically progressive recently. I'm tempted to do so now, because I really want to join a local meetup group for LGBTQ people and I...
- I know I've made posts about this before, but my narcissistic, emotionally abusive brother may be coming home for my birthday on June 30th. I'm starting to experience reliving of the trauma of his past behavior and other severe anxiety symptoms. Do...
- Hi everyone. It seems as though my verbally/emotionally abusive, narcissistic brother may be coming back home for my birthday on June 30th. I'm starting to relive the trauma of his abuse and be affected in other ways with this possibility. Do any of...
- Hi again,My emotionally abusive brother sent my mother flowers for Mother's Day from a couple hours away. However, before that point he hadn't talked to us in months. Is it possible I've been imagining the abuse? When he's not home he's much better,...
