Thank you Aura. It's good to be back in the game. I see that you've returned to work. I hope that you still enjoy your occupation despite all the obstacles that life has thrown at you.
Maybe a bit personal, but would you say a few words to describe why you have PTSD? I have it twice from abysmal abuse from my mother and because of a very convoluted case in 2012 that included lawyers and the police... not very pleasant.
Oomph, that's a tough nut to crack. I've not been diagnosed with PTSD until I got severe tinnitus (in 2020). What is probably worth mentioning, is that I also suffer from general anxiety disorder. It has been stuck to me since I was a young lad. It's not that I always had panic attacks (seldom) but I generally avoid conflicts with other people and never watch horror films or play games for that matter.
I'm sorry to hear about the things you went through in the past. Your mother sounds like a nice piece of work. At least you live on your own. That helps a bit, right?
Yeah, but I blocked her phone number 2 weeks ago and that has started a tsunami of problems with her. Although I don't actually talk to her, she still finds new, creative ways to try to contact me all the time. If I ever decided to *really* tell her what's on my mind, it would destroy her soul so I've been holding back for 20 years.
I understand deeply that it's super difficult to cut ties with someone you've inevitably spend quite some time with. Perhaps she'll understand your reasons by blocking her phone calls. At least, I hope she's able to reflect on her behaviour. Time will tell, Lurius
