I used to write alot when I was young but shit happened and as I moved forward I shut the door to that space inside my writing came out of. There's been a lot of closing of doors, keeping thoughts and feelings in their place to be able to function but is it really functioning when you show up in...

Welcome! I also isolate alot and am having a hard time with relationships because of ptsd. It’s a work in progress i guess :) I’m also new here but it seems to be a good place to be honest. I’m also weird and have been all my life and in some ways it’s a good thing even though it can be...

I also mostly have emotional flashbacks and i also talk to chat-gpt. I see it as putting words to thoughts and feelings without risk since chat-gpt is not a person. I do think real peoples responsed gives more real progress though, because there’s a little risk and friction. I’ve also wondered...

I'm having a hard time right now. We left things off with the intention of me allowing myself to "feel my feelings" more so there's less of a build up of emotions and tension. But to be honest this leads to me being dysregulated a lot of the time, and conflict with some of the people in my life...

Well that’s surely a dilemma, i didn’t know there were children involved. How old is the child? I have two children (one with ADHD) and have ptsd and health issues, but my children live half time with their father which gives me space to deal with my issues and he is a stable responsible person...

You get anxiety on top of your other problems which makes things feel more unstable because you can’t focus on yourself and be a pillar and crutch for people around you at the same time? Am i getting that right? is it possible for these people to get support and help from someone else this time...

I hear you 💔 i’ve felt like this alot and it’s awful. And it can be so hard to get help. Having ptsd doesn’t make you rich and alot of the time the more economical options have really long waiting time and you don’t know if the therapist is a good fit or or even has experience working with...

When i’m overwhelmed/stressed/triggered it’s really hard because i have traumatic experiences of something really bad happening, reaching out to others for help but them not being able to, shaming me etc and that triggers me further in to a state of feeling completely alone and helpless. That’s...

it sounds to me like you have been making sure people around you are stable since you were a child. Children are dependant on the people around them for their survival and it can be traumatic and chaos and undependeble adults can feel like an existensial threat. But if you feel like you have to...

When your friend traumadumps on you She’s kind of transfering her anxiety to you as a way of coping instead of feeling her feelings. And sometimes that’s ok, if you feel regulated and stable you can take that on. But it seems to be a regular theme in your life that you feel like it’s your...

I also dissociate alot during therapy. My therapist asks me regularly during sessions how present i feel and notices when i dissociate and then we do some groundig excersizes so i come back to myself. This happens automaticly, i don’t notice when i do it which makes it hard to decide to just...

I’ve spent so much time trying not to feal things. Life is so unfair, horrible things are done to you and you are left with overwelming pain and fear and anger. Those feelings just seemed so useless, they don’t change what happened, no one listened or helped. To me the problem seemed to become...

this sounds like a really hard situation for both of you. I understand that your husband just wants to get away from his triggers and that you live in an area with increased risk for fires and that must be horrible for him and he is not capable to take care of and support himself at the moment...

Hello everyone. I’m a 43 year old woman from Sweden who has been dealing with PTSD for over half my life. I was diagnosed 9 years ago and have had a hard time getting treatment until recently when i started trauma exposure therapy which has been hard and horrible but also a good thing. One...
