  • To this day I don't understand this. My therapist used to ask this so many times and every time I was like:?? In my brain???? Where thoughts and feelings live???????

    Can someone explain?

    Edit: the fact that you nice people here were able to make me understand this question and my therapist did not reinforces why I stopped going!

  • Love when someone in a semi stressful appointment asks if you want water, and then they give you this teensy itsy bitsy thimble ass glass and you have to put all you focus into not making a weird impression by drinking that in one gulp, because if anything, it's less than your usual gulp size

  • I've had such a different experience than what the article describes! Long nails were usually shamed, you were high maintenance, extra, too girly. Girls with long nails would constantly get reminded that men don't find them attractive, as if that was relevant (I think I've even seen that in this thread).

    I guess we have a tendency to do the opposite of what we're told to do growing up. I love growing out my nails now. Sometimes I feel like keeping them short, too.

    I've also been a nail biter for over 20 years and short nails are much harder to not bite for me, so keeping them short is an added mental hassle. Still, worth it sometimes.

  • In my country they tow tram track blockers immediately. I think it's some sort of 'emergency' towing too (arrives faster and is more expensive). If it takes too long, they temporarily replace the tram line with a bus. I imagine it's the same in many places.

  • And anyway, my comment was mostly about not potentially inflicting causes of your trauma on others. Because that is what usually happen when people fear not being in control... they try to control others once they have the means to do so.

    You don't see how that's not a very nice thing to say to someone that just said they have complex trauma?

    Where is the assumption? I was almost literally quoting you.

    Look, I'm not going to convince you in a Lemmy comment chain. I just hope you can show a bit more empathy for different lived experiences in real life.

  • Please reread my comment: I said IF that's what you mean! I'm asking because youre explaining to other commentators how they should overcome their need for their own spaces. Also, that the need to control yourself usually leads to wanting to control others is false and a pretty mean thing to say to someone who said they feel the need to have control over themselves. Trauma does NOT make me a bad person, thank you very much. We're people too, you know. We're capable of empathy and of working on ourselves.

    A specialist I regularly see says the symptoms I'm describing are worse than my blood work would suggest, so she recommends I see an internist to figure out what else is wrong!
