TRIGGER WARNING: abuse My boyfriend and I are both neurodivergent. He lived with someone for over a decade before me. I met her once and was so uncomfortable with her behaviour. She scoffed, rolled her eyes, waved her hand in his direction to shoo him off, complained to me about how annoying he is and how tired she is of putting up with him. Ooof. That's what I call "contempt", ). At the very least, that's so inappropriate. I've avoided her since. I gently asked him if he ever felt hurt... Read more ..read more

Where do I even start? It's strange to say the least but I guess I'll go over the nightmare first. It happened awhile ago, maybe a year and half ago. Anyways, I was sleeping when I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night or at least I thought I did. And I was being held down by something unseen while a shadowy female figure did bad things to me and hurt me. I won't go into details but to put it simply it was inappropriate and painful. This went on for quite some time before I woke up and... Read more ..read more

So, I'm 38 and I've never had a cervical screening....I've had 3 children, so that probably seems silly....doesn't it? Like, I had all those people around me during labour and I can't face a 121 with a nurse ?‍♀️ Anyway, I've booked a cervical screening for the Tues 5th Sept at 11.30 because on 4 different occasions, I've had some bleeding after sex. I'm 70/30 that's it's due to the position but obviously, I know it's something that should be checked. I feel ok about it at the mo but I... Read more ..read more

I've been through a lot when growing, and now I know I should talking with those experience with my psyco but I'm freeze when I think about that, become irritable, don't want to talk about or just feel way too embarrassed to admit it happened to me, also I feel betray when I tell to people what happen and they told me it was not a big deal and I shouldn't care about or just forget it I just cant forget about it because it affects my sexuality (something I feel guilty/shy about) and the way...

I am a BPB person between the ages of 25-30 and I am being emotionally abused right now by an uncle. My uncle and his family are harassing my family and they recently sent a nasty email making threats. I don’t know what to do. This guy is a p3do btw. He’s disgusting ..read more

Sometimes, I feel so guilty it sends chills into me. But, rationally, I know guilt is like a headache or toothache: the discomfort is there to notify us of a problem, however, after a short while the message becomes redundant. If I never felt the guilt again, I'd be no more likely to make the mistake again. Likewise, wallowing in guilt prevents one from living optimally, and probably makes one more likely to screw up again in some way ..read more

Hi I’m new in here and being know really were to start. I see a therapist which is nearly up now had about 17 sessions see her every 2weeks. Last session just felt so flat well I’ve been feeling like it for a while but today I said I was bothered if I was here or not. I didn’t derserve to be here it all went silence. Then she went onto saying we’ll do you have any thoughts of what you would do? I shrugged my shoulders but I did but didn’t want to tell her. Then she said well who will find...

As a child I was abused physically emotionally and verbally by my father. My mother knew but never protected me. I’ve not been able to move past this even though half a lifetime has passed. He’s dead and I don’t interact with her for the last two years. They say you must forgive even if they gaslight so you can move on. I’m unsure how that is possible but I would really like to move on ..read more

TW-for possible coercive control, conversations of SA and BDSM, and possible DV. Both of us are part of the LGTQ community, which is slightly important for context. He was about three years older than me. We hit it off right away, immediately talking 24/7. At first, he was a complete sweetheart, leaving flowers at my door and sending supportive messages constantly. I truly thought I had met the love of my life. He did reveal to me pretty early that he had a duel diagnosis of... Read more ..read more

Most abusive mother after months of trying to recover from kidnapping and torture. This is how my mother responds after I decided I cannot deal with the abuse… I thought about your statements earlier. Honestly I don't want to do 6 months. If you need me for an emergency I' always be there otherwise this is permanent. This has retraumatized me in ways I don't even want to begin to get into. You feel it's abusive and I feel like it's detrimental to my mental health. Time in a marriage as... Read more ..read more
