[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I started off wholly on your side.  But all this talk about how you can't possibly engage in any "menial labor" makes me think you sound quite entitled generally and, in fact, the volunteer work would be good for you!  [/quote]

I was forced to clean toilets in junior high l if I got less than an A (including an A-). Sorry if being put on cleaning duty triggers me.[/quote]

Cleaning toilets is a trigger? Oh goodness OP. I'm trying to ask this gently, but do you have a diagnosis of BPD? You are purposely seeing only negatives here. [/quote]

My official diagnoses are dysthymia, GAD, and OCD.

And yes. Cleaning toilets sends me right back to my mother standing over me telling me that's what I would be doing the rest of my life if I didn't get my act together in school.

Entitled? Hardly. I got my act together and made sure I wouldn't be doing that the rest of my life. [/quote]

I'm sorry your mother was like that. But it's time to realize you can change perceptions to things that a neccessary in life. Cleaning is neccessary. You need to tell your therapist that you need effective treatments for this.

And before you tell me I dont understand mental illness or child abuse, I assure you I do. I survived emotional, physical and sexual abuse at the hands of my mother. But I cant let every horrible thing my mother did trigger me.

It takes a lot of work but you can move past this OP. You really can. And you deserve too. And your children deserve a fully engaged mom. [/quote]
