I have so many unseen issues, most don’t realize the true difficulty I endure each day, first I don’t sleep well, for many reasons, from a brain that is constantly in overdrive, to relentless nightmares, to being in constant pain, to not having a decent supportive bed to sleep on, so my days start of painful, tired and overwhelmed before I even get going, Often I go hungry because living in <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> I simply can not afford <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> to eat, I typically only get around 600-800 calories a day when a man my size and age should be getting around 3000 calories a day, as a result despite my appearance I suffer from malnutrition, I have a great deal of difficulty cleaning my tiny cave, from not being able to afford the basics to have cleaning supplies to being physically limited in my ability to do so, I cant hardly bend over, nor can I very easily get up and down off the floor, taking a shower can simply become a serious challenge, and often leaves my exhausted not to mention I cant often afford the basics for personal hygiene, simply washing a dish or standing at the stove at times can be brutal on my back, then there are chores I need to tend to as part of my rent, and those absolutely can be a painful and exhaustive event for me, and those around often don’t even realize and expect more as a result, and if I say I have had enough today, I am questioned, because they assume I did what I did with ease, but they have no idea of the pain and struggle I had to endure to deal with to accomplish the tasks at hand, reading has become trouble some, as world become very blurry and melt together, writing is becoming increasingly difficult, as finding the words is getting harder and harder, being creative used to help but I have been in so much pain, and under so much stress that I often cant even muster up the energy to attempt to be creative, not to mention my camera is failing, my laptop is struggling, and again no money to obtain what I actually need, I have no <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>healthcare</span></a> because the laws people pass have really messed that up, and after years fighting to get it resolved I have given up, so I fight through each day to just to suffer the next, I reach out constantly for financial support yet receive nearly nothing compared to what I actually need, this <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=disable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>disable</span></a> man exists in <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a>, constant pain and my <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=anxiety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anxiety</span></a> exacerbates my <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=ptsd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ptsd</span></a>, my <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=bipolar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bipolar</span></a> cycles, and several other issues, my blood pressure has been all over the place and frankly in a rather obscenely high range for to long, my core body temp has been far lower than the average, while I often feel as though I am on fire, things get darker with my sight each day, and yet to bright, I hear and see so much that is not actually there, so very much wrong and no support nor help to be found, it would really truly help if people could and would help me <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=fundriase" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fundriase</span></a> the money I need each day to live, and the money I need to set up a life where I can take care of myself and lessen the effects of poverty and disability on an aging body and mind.</p><p>$5-10-15 It All Helps, via <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=cashapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cashapp</span></a> at $woctxphotog or via <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=paypal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>paypal</span></a> at <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=5BN5MB5BVQL22" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…</a></p>

KFears<p>Over the past week, I've lost all of my social connections, again. People haven't been amazingly supportive, implicitly rejected me, and then said that it is me who pushes people away. So the benevolent ol' me decided to publish a list of tips on how to interact with me productively.</p><p>- Don't give unsolicited advice on how to think and act<br>- Don't assume you know better<br>- Don't talk down to me<br>- Don't assume my faults of character<br>- Don't debate specifics when the problem is general<br>- Don't continue talking about your motivations when your actions are shit<br>- Don't gaslight me<br>- Actually listen and engage with me<br>- Ask me how to interact<br>- Ask me how I feel<br>- If you fucked up at multiple of those - be sorry for your behavior, not your specific fuckup<br>- If you keep rejecting me - don't tell me you're sorry, that's extremely unpleasant</p><p>Honestly, I feel like that's a good conversation etiquette. Feel free to use and share.</p><p><a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/trauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trauma</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/ActuallyAutistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ActuallyAutistic</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.games/tags/MentalHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MentalHealth</span></a></p>

Mx. Luna Corbden<p>Essentially that's what my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a> model does. It addresses those beliefs, not just within an individual survivor, but for all of us, in how we help abusers with our language, beliefs, preferences, in who we choose to defend, in our moral systems, in our laws and biases.</p><p>I've taken what I've learned from my own abuse recovery and therapy of many years, my studies on psychology and trauma, but most importantly, from learning about cults, high-demand groups, coercive persuasion, and religious trauma recovery, and merged those into a unified theory.</p><p>There really isn't much difference between domestic abuse and cult membership.</p><p>And cult recovery involves deconstructing those beliefs, making yourself aware of them so that you can consciously choose which to keep and which to throw away.</p><p>I've been out of Mormonism for 24 years, and I still find beliefs I have not been aware of this whole time. I've been away from my worst abuser for almost a decade, and still find beliefs he instilled in me that I have not yet examined.</p><p>The undue influence techniques used by cults are almost identical to those used by abusers and manipulators. These techniques are used at the societal and political levels as well, and can also demonstrate how racism, sexism, etc all work.</p><p>I can't tell you specifically which beliefs you have in you, but I can show you the purposes they serve... there will be beliefs about who you can and cannot trust, what you should be afraid of, what punishments await you for misbehaving, and a couple dozen others. Knowing that framework can guide you through discovering your own induced phobias, milieu control, and thought-terminating clichés.</p><p>(Brief plug for my book, Recovering Agency, which outlines 31 manipulation techniques in context of Mormonism, but that can be applied elsewhere.)</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abuse</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/cults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cults</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MindControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MindControl</span></a></p>
Mx. Luna Corbden<p>There's an aspect of <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/CPTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CPTSD</span></a> I don't see much discussed or even studied, but you can bet that whoever is causing the CPTSD thinks of it this way, either with conscious awareness or not:</p><p>Behavior modification.</p><p>That's what really separates PTSD, say from a random act of violence, from complex PTSD that affects almost every area of one's life.</p><p>CPTSD is a result of a behavior modification program. An abuser or abusive system conditioned you to believe and behave a certain way, often many sets of behaviors across most areas of your life. That's what makes something a cult or a high-demand group. That's what makes for a domestic abuse situation – it's in the things they force you to do.</p><p>The recovery focus tends to be on the trauma itself -- ok we're in sympathetic nervous state, let's unpack triggers, get coping skills, EMDR, meditation, calm you down. Fine.</p><p>But rarely (outside of cult exit counseling) have I seen much focus on the BELIEFS an abuser or system has instilled in us. Beliefs that modify behavior. That sense that if I touch a hot stove I'll be burned, but it's not a stove, it's normal everyday things that I can't avoid and I'm wandering an inescapable maze of pain-points.</p><p>Address the beliefs themselves.</p><p>It's a major gap in how PTSD is treated in our culture. EVEN the helping professional community is so bogged down in these abuse culture assumptions (that trauma is "in the past," that the abusers are no longer present, that it's just a nervous system thing, just process the trauma events) that they often ignore the set of interlocking ever-present beliefs, and they ignore the very aspects of society we're just supposed to tolerate (bad workplaces, chronic stress, toxic religious beliefs).</p><p>What did my abuser make me *believe* about myself? What did my toxic religion make me believe about the world? How do I view reality through an abuser-provided lens?</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ReligiousTrauma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ReligiousTrauma</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/antifa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antifa</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Abuse</span></a><br><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmo</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/exmormon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>exmormon</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/PTSD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PTSD</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/AbuseCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AbuseCulture</span></a></p>

Sophia 🌸<p>Hi.<br>
Just call me Sophia.</p>
<p>I'm 18 and I go by she/her pronouns.</p>
<p>I decided to join the Fediverse as an attempt to stabilize my mental health. I decided to start with Wafrn because I am already familiar with the Tumblr<br>
I want to post about positivity, coping with trauma and maybe make friends that are not out there to abuse me. I like vocaloids and Kirby a lot. Also I am queer and want to partake in furry fandom but now it is too triggering of a topic to me…</p>
<p>My story is complicated and quite traumatizing, but important to understand why am I like that.</p>
<p>I have been trapped in a cycle of sexual (and other) abuse since I was 9. <br>
My parents didn't give me much attention, so I was one of the kids with unrestricted internet access, even though later on my phone was monitored.<br>
I have been groomed online by the most visceral people you could imagine.</p>
<p>At first it was fine because they gave me attention unlike my family, and treated me with what I thought was warmth. I had a blog on Tumblr literally targeted towards predators and abusers at 13 to get more attention and nothing boosts your confidence like adults being into you.<br>
However, I was trapped in this for years as well, I have been sent incredible amounts of CSAM material, old perverts confessing to abusing their child relatives or even strangers, people admitting to sexually abusing their animals, receiving videos of animals being sexually abused in ways you couldn't even think of. <br>
I was still a child.</p>
<p>At some point, also at 13, I was constantly raped by various adults (well technically i "consented" but now I know even if a child says "yes" it is not consent.) who also forced me to perform acts on animals on some occassions.</p>
<p>My parents later became physically and mentally abusive against me, became more controlling and found out about the things I did online. They called me a whore and wanted to lock me in their house so I would never show outside.</p>
<p>Long story, but I fled this house soon after turning 18. I now live with a trusted childhood friend and I'm trying to have control of my life again and start getting therapy to heal from the consequences of what happened to me.</p>
<p>Here's a few boundaries from me:</p>
<ul>
<li>Please do not interact with me at all if you mainly post NSFW stuff, even if CW'd. Please. Especially if it's ageplay, ABDL, furry stuff and things like that. I do not want to kinkshame but I am unable to prevent a meltdown when presented with content that reminds me of my own trauma.</li>
<li>This also means do not get sexual with me even as a joke. I react badly.</li>
<li>Do not ask for my personal information, even if it's just a country location. I am aware people will find out sooner or later via my IP address but please just let me be anonymous.</li>
</ul>
<p>I am open to questions both about my hobbies or my past trauma but again, no personal information. I want my example to be put to good use and to educate minors on here and other parts of the internet to please keep your safety in check and do not repeat my deeds.</p>
<p>In the future I want to help communities recognize early signs of CSA/ASA online to help make this a better place.</p><br> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/introduction" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#introduction</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/queer" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#queer</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/ptsd" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ptsd</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://app.wafrn.net/dashboard/search/trauma%20survivor" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trauma-survivor</a>
