You know what works weirdly well for dealing with bad memories? Imagining current you going and getting past you out of there and putting them someplace safe and nice.

Internal family systems is such a great therapeutic method and I love it.

Once I was making fun of a dude who kept making *triggered* jokes and eventually he got upset and I was like “as someone with legit PTSD, you sure are a little bitch” and that was one of my proudest moments.

So EMDR is weird

I think it kinda works but also it seems like nonsense, but hey anything to fix my traumaz

Like it just sucks, I could watch this shit when I was younger and feel NOTHING

and now I jump at fucking shadows and hurt myself cowering too hard.

I miss being fearless like that. I LOVED horror movies, and having them just kinda taken away from me like this sucks.

Does Anyone Have Resources For Being Able To Watch Horror Movies Again When You Have PTSD

and react REALLY REALLY intensely to jump scares.

I’m enjoying the Woman In Black so much but also I have pulled a muscle in my arm from tensing too hard.

Sorry in advance for being so intrusive, but what mental illness are you referring that you have? I’m mentally ill myself and I don’t think my mental health could handle sex work as a profession. (Or any customer job.) Being employed is tough with these issues.

it’s no problem, I’m very open about what I have. Add, ptsd, pmdd, was severely anorexic when I was a teenager which is one of the reasons I couldn’t finish high school, I’m on a cocktail of a fuck ton of meds to be even as functional as I am
