Alice in Wondeland by Lyosha Svetlana

[ligeyah]

Little Alice cut off all mama’s flowers because they couldn’t stop talking.

Understandable, sometimes they’re unbearable…

PTSD culture is having multiple flashbacks/intrusive thoughts while in public and having to hold and maintain normal conversation and act normal. It's so hard not to break down when it happens.

thoughts about living / 2022

[tearsoakedarmor]

I'm tired of men thinking they can love me.

I explain what it's like to be with me because I feel that I need to come with a disclaimer.

They tell me it's okay, they don't care, they love me anyways.

And when I finally feel safe and my triggers show because I finally feel it's okay to show my ugly parts.

Then they get mad at me for having them even though they are the ones that told me that it would be okay.

I never lied about who I was and I hate that you made me feel safe enough to show my broken pieces and then get mad at me. Because you don't like what you see.

I cannot emphasize enough how much of a life hack it is to exclusively be friends with, date and marry people who are not constantly mean assholes to you.

[angstmonsterwrites]

This may seem like basic common sense, but one interesting (and kind of terrifying) thing I recently read was that some individuals who grew up in an emotionally abusive environment find that their anxiety level actually decreases in the presence of those who are mean or overly critical of them because it's familiar. Their nervous systems are hard wired to react to that kind of treatment as "normal" in the sense that it knows what to do with it--what defense mechanisms to employ when, etc.

Meanwhile, kinder, more peaceful, and healthier relationships are quite a dramatic adjustment, and ironically feel less predictable because of all the threats that are absent and never materialize. It feels suspicious or too good to be true, which in turn ratchets up hypervigilance and hyper-arousal. Instead of knowing what BS is coming because it always does, there's the nebulous sense that the other shoe is just waiting to drop. Safety and respect can feel the most unsafe for a while, because as far as the traumatized nervous system is concerned, those things don't exist, or if they do in any form, there must be a million unseen strings attached.

This is part of what traps a lot of people in abusive relationships, consistently draws them to want to please assholes, or keeps them moving from one unhealthy environment to the next--a highly toxic comfort of familiarity where being on the receiving end of cruelty feels like "home".
