A post to my page…
I have a habit of setting myself unrealistic goals. Why?
Because it is a form self harm.
Self harm can be very non obvious, but setting non achievable goals is one, that many complex trauma survivors will have.
When I do this, I can’t achieve the goal, so then feel like a failure, and emotionally beat myself up. Continue reading
In my current quest to develop some healthy self esteem, I am making myself take in what people say, and really try to digest what they say, as being genuine, and not just dismiss it, or be suspicious, as I would normally do.
Today – this comment stood out and made me giggle too!
And on a more serious note, is a huge compliment. Especially as the term ‘ridiculous’ is used in a very positive way.
It reminded me of the singer RedFoo singing ‘Let’s Get Ridiculous’ – only about intelligence, not having fun.
It was in response to this post
~~~Are you told you are lazy?~~~
Sufferers, of PTSD and Complex PTSD – are not lazy.
Stress reduction and stress management are a needed part of managing a severe disorder.
It is self care, appropriate, necessary, and a needed part of health needs.
People who didn’t know about PTSD, would look at my lifestyle now and possibly assume I am lazy. Continue reading
So my stalker, has a worse history than anyone knew about, allegedly;
Tried as a child, to kill his 3 yr old sister with a knife and was put into care for his family’s safety.
Fake cancer diagnosis.
Lies about what he did in military.
Possible lies about PTSD diagnosis.
And more.
This from a reliable source.
None of this surprises me, but it does make me realise, why so many people where he lives, are genuinely scared of him.
If this is true – we are talking a raging narcissistic psychopath.
I am so thankful his partner has now split from him. She has been seen out alone, without her engagement ring. I am relieved and my only concern is her safety. if she left the NFP org completely – she would no doubt see a very different side to this man.
It makes me so sad to read repeatedly how society doesn’t consider emotional pain/health to be as serious as physical pain/health.
It is so wrong.

I was a party girl back in the day, clubbing was a huge part of my life in my 20’s. The club style dancing, the club scene, having far too much ‘fun’, the men, alcohol, the sex – were my highs.
This was my life.
I craved the level of fun, that would take away the inner pain I always had, from so much abuse. A maladaptive coping strategy that is common in child sexual abuse victims.
When I hear songs like this – that I love – I still crave being back there.
Even though, I have no intention or desire to be back in the clubbing scene the rest of the time.
