I've just had a GP appt. I asked them a q about low testosterone and anxiety. He literally Googled it and got his opinion from an online forum. 😳🤯 Never again will I be cautious of knowing my conditions better than he may.

With you. Earliest harm I remember at 7 or 8, earlier is likely but amnesia block. Diagnosis at 52 after an entire adult life in & out of therapy. Took a skilled therapist to sign post the right way & then very magical therapist to spot, and start our healing. The effort that went into surviving!

One of the many downsides and upsides of living with this stuff whilst being high functioning is that work was waiting for us. Match sticks will be required this afternoon.

I was reminded of a saying this weekend, a saying I'm going to keep reminding myself of over the coming weeks as I hold and heal both anger and compassion for someone important in my life, who is no longer in my life: Hurt people hurt people. Go get some therapy folks. ❤️

In Singapore there are no juries. It was hard to explain to people the peril my husband was in should the AG have decided to press charges for whatever. Judges are essentially appointed by the PM. For anyone who dissents, a guilty verdict in absentia, is the inevitable result -See Lee Hsien Yang etc

Set two appointments. The actual appointment, and then a second which starts an hour or so earlier and this is the one you aim to be on time for. Knowing you won't be but then have baked in contingency.

Which is a great opportunity for this classic truth. Sad but true.
A text graphic by Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays of bold black text on a deep lilac background that says:
If someone in your life needs to be working a recovery & isn't, that's going to significantly impair their ability to contribute to your recovery - or to be a significant part of your life. It sucks, but it is what it is. We just don't have the luxury of coddling their denial.

Concerns me that maybe the gender critics (we aren't allowed to call them TERFs anymore right?) have got a foothold in the LP. 😥 This is at least one way for her to expose this wide open.

I'd encourage you to get those diagnosed. There is a strong co-occurrence of both with complex trauma. I 'passed' the ADHD screening test last year after my masking dropped with a change in work role. Be careful of ADHD drugs though. If you have a dissociative disorder they can make that worse.

I'm struck by your journey. I got 'picked up' & did the work on severe depression in my late 20s. Long story short, I then didn't find my cPTSD & ED healing therapist until my early 50s. And boy, am I in a 'race' to live the life I should have lived. Hold on tight, recovery is worth it. 🐻🤗

Thought: the men engaged in intimidation and violence over migrants are men who in the 1980s would be engaged in intimidation and violence over football. There are some men who just like violence. Hence the cross-over with domestic abuse convictions. Migrants are just the latest excuse.

When you're chatting to someone on a dateling site, you twigged ages ago it's a scam and they are using AI, and then they send the same message in reply to your reply to the same message they've already sent. Copy and paste basics surely. 🙄 Disappointed I've got an amateur in play TBH. 😂

Trauma recovery always involves a certain amount of "f*ck 'em" and "f*ck it" energy. Which can be hard for those of us who were only ever rewarded or safe when we were being "good."

One of my favorite yet least played #Prince tracks.
AI suggests: The album cover of Timeless by Prince features a vibrant and abstract design, showcasing a blend of bold colors and intricate patterns that reflect the artist's eclectic style and musical legacy. The cover art captures the essence of Prince's innovative spirit and his impact on music and culture. This human suggests: Prince shown in silhouette standing with his arms outstretched. The neck and headstock of a bass playing behind Price emerges from behind Prince's back. The word PRINCE appears bottom to top on the left side in a slim Dan's serif font. The lighting of the scene is a graduated purple, starting a bright almost pink purple behind Prince's silhouette to a deeper murkier purple to the edges of the cover.
