Don't take this question the wrong way please, I just genuinely wondered if there should be separation or not in that case. My goal is for people to feel they're not alone that's all. submitted by /u/Korollins [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Everyone can tell that I'm mentally ill, but very few people in my life know I have ptsd and none of them have ever heard more than a sentence about what happened. I got myself in therapy as soon as I could pay my way and its been 7 years now and I have still never been able to tell a therapist more than the most vague details about it. I've done so many therapy groups and I've never really shared a word. Clearly I wont say much about it but I was SA'd for years starting around 5 by psychopaths who really enjoyed creative torture scenarios, they weren't all performed on me but I had to hear m ..read more

Idk how I got to the point I’m at now, but I lost someone very important to me right at the beginning of the year, kinda posted before I guess, and I hate how much it’s effected my work especially. I’ve always been off even before it happened just cuz of past stuff, but now I truly feel broken. I don’t even know how to function anymore. You ever feel like your on autopilot and your just doing your job but then when someone actually pulls you out of your head you realize your fuckin way off track? Or just not even aware of the mess ups your making? I don’t have a single thought in my head most ..read more

I have been traumatized with a group of people,(specifically 5 people) they have ruined my life in so many ways. I want to forget them and never think about them again but they keep popping up in my head. How do I forgot about these people and never think about them again. I plan to never see them or speak them again. What are some strategies I can do to forgot about how badly they hurt me and get angry about what do. For some reason every time I think about them my ear keeps popping, back of my head is hurting, and my throat feels like there is something there. submitted by /u/ezmiop [visit ..read more

I was sitting in bed with my back up against the wall while reading a post about someone getting a raise at work here on Reddit. I had a dull pain in my upper right side of my stomach that I was pressing on for a few then stopped. As I was reading, I felt a very fast split second of dizziness that caused me quickly get up and start walking around as if I was going to pass out. Now, I'm really anxious, a little loopy, and have a spike in my blood pressure. I'm trying to eat my dinner but my mind is telling me I'm full. I took a cold shower to see if that helps but it didn't do much. I'm drinki ..read more

As the title says… I was misdiagnosed and medicated for 20 years, just got my diagnosis yesterday. I feel like I got PTSD from having to deal with and being demonised, hospitalised, hated and feeling extreme guilt for my behaviours from undiagnosed PTSD. What do you call that? Worsened PTSD? CPTSD? I’m lost and I’m scared submitted by /u/Frostyfruitloop_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I feel like my PTSD has made me more self centered. my assault was nine months ago, so idk why I’m still impacted this severely. it is all I think about anymore, and I’ve spent less time with my friends, and I’ve been isolating myself more. I feel like I've been making everything about myself and my trauma, even though I don’t talk about it very often? I guess PTSD is all consuming and it makes sense that I'd think about it a lot, but i don't know. I don't know if it's really me being a bad person, but I can't seem to help it. I feel like I am going crazy. Maybe it’s because it’s pretty much ..read more

I have so far only been declining mentally, and I really need reassurance that not enough time has passed to recover yet. I'm only recently approaching the year mark so I feel a bit of imposter syndrome being here, and was afraid of making this post because "not enough time has passed" so therefore my struggles weren't valid. Anything I can do in the meantime? submitted by /u/TheSolemnRaven [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

So, today i had my appointment with medication person. Im on one med. Anyway. I told her that I went to neurologist who found infarct on MRI in the area for cognition & mood, decision making. (Now, I tell providers this sht because I assume they would consider it with their treatments. BMH) Her response was that it means nothing. Nothing can be done. No way to know when it happened or if it will ever happen again. I said, excuse me? I said, that's why we have neurologists....I will see what he says. I am getting rattled because the neurologists nurse says she knows nothing & sets an a ..read more
