And is this the reason you're suffering so much? Because the romantic relationship you wish you had isn't going to happen?No grey area sine who I want doesn’t want me.
I hear you. But unless you can accept that bad shit can happen to anybody, you're going to stay stuck. I know that's hard, especially when you're having so much trouble managing your own thoughts.Every thing that doesn’t go as planned is like tearing open the wounds again. Damn...so many things I wish I would have know back then...I wish I could truly live in the moment and feel ok about myself. The constant fear of being screwed over and arrested again or lied to is just unnerving.
You need to interview therapists, and you pick the one that you can talk to - and the one that can describe a path through your crisis in a way that you can believe in.How do you process all of this when you can’t tell who is good, who is bad, and who will flip out on you?
No, that was just a random thing. It is a very juvenile want, but I am confused in general about everything. I am just not in a good place. Like, how can you be so confused about things, and not be able to move on? And feel different around so many different people? Is it normal to be that way? I figured finding myself would be a good thing, but I just feel so weird and fake now. It’s unbelievable.And is this the reason you're suffering so much?

Do you feel like PTSD is the reason for (or explains) why this is how you're seeing things?it’s like I see 3 things- good, evil and normal. I wish normal would be the primary thing all the time. When I see the evil, my body tenses up so bad, I have stress in my back, forehead, and muscle spasms. When I see good, I feel like my head is in the clouds.
Saw a psychiatrist last week. I think manipulation is why I see things that way. Fear from him. He tackled me and every time he was angry at me to force me to do something, it f*cked with me. And no, it’s not helpful to write things down, because it doesn’t change my situation.Thanks for sharing all that, @AnnieMae. Was it helpful for you to write it all out?
And I'm curious...when's the last time you saw a psychiatrist?

Well, this happens to a lot of people. A lot of the time. Maybe it helps to recognize that? Find stories of other people who have climbed out of the holes in their lives? There are plenty of people here trying to do that every single day...The lies and manipulation has totally effed up your life and nothing works out the way you planned?
