Has Anyond Been Triggered by their SO?
Trauma Support / by Seathroughingall

...See more Hi, I’m new here.. but still wanting to connect and see if anyone can relate, and maybe tell me what they have done.. I’ve been diagnosed as having PTSD because of my childhood trauma and emotional abuse that still is happening from my mother. My SO knows of my triggered and most of my trauma experiences, since I have told him.. I have opened up and let him see my vulnerable side to my experiences. And recently, I had noticed that he did the #1 trigger that had caused all my childhood trauma: treat me like an emotional punching bag.. and I was so shocked. I realized he had done it the night before and I had trusted him when he apologized and said he wouldn’t do it again. But then he did it again last night and even gaslit me. I felt so so hurt. I had 3 panic attacks and cried so much to the point of my eyes still being swollen. I then was in shock and stared at a wall for 20-30 minutes.. and then my walls came up and since then, I’ve been feeling emotional numbness.. I don’t know if I can trust him to feel safe and talk to him about my experiences anymore.. Can anyone relate to this? And if so, what have you done?

...See more I’ve been working through my trauma with the help of my therapist.. and I’ve opened up a lot and told my significant other almost everything.. he knows... I have childhood trauma from my mother emotionally and mentally abusing me. I felt like her emotional.. and sometimes physical.. punching bag. I’ve drawn a hard boundary line over not feeling like someone’s emotional punching bag.. until I’ve realized my SO has overstepped that boundary a couple times. I realize the first time and I called him out on it and he apologized and promised to never do it again… he did it again.. and I had a delayed reaction.. realizing it.. caused me to go into a lot of panic attacks, shaking tremors, blanking out/feeling numb.. I feel so alone now. I have relied on him to be my support system and now I realize I have none.. and he has betrayed me.. can anyone relate?

Need a Support System
Depression Support / by Seathroughingall

...See more Hi I’m new here.. and been living with Depression for a couple years now. I’ve been doing so well until today, where it hit out of nowhere. And I’m angry because it takes a lot out of me to open to someone and need to talk.. and no one was there for me in my family nor my S.O. .. I felt so invalidated with no safe space and lost having no real strong support system. Does anyone else feel like this? And how do you get through
