So I was having a really rough morning and having a particularly rough spiraling session when I decided to look up my old classmates from school. I regret doing so. I'm shocked at how much better everyone is doing than me. When I was doing badly in high school, I always tried to focus on the...

This was really helpful thank you!! As for my goals, I've been looking into applying to college, I've wanted to get back into making art and I've also wanted to start my weight loss journey. I'm procrastinating on all of those right now

I have complex ptsd from years of childhood trauma. I find it comforting to read about other people's experiences and seek help and comfort in other survivors. As for the age thing, It's so weird but I've kind of always felt old. Even in my teens I felt like I was older a lot. Its a symptom of...

I don't have a therapist but i have tried setting and achieving small goals before. All I could think of is how much farther along I should be already and embarrassed that I had to figure out stuff that I should've figured out in my teens. So I just kinda stopped

I always see people online talk about how everyone's struggling but then I go out and I see so many people who have their stuff figure out. Even other people I know. Even if they don't have everything figure out, they gave at least one thing going for them. Especially other women my age. I feel...

thanks so much for the tips. I've not heard of tactile grounding techniques before but I'll definitely look into it

thanks so much for the tips! it's definitely something I need to keep working on.

I don't think I'm really more intelligent or creative tbh. When I sit and think about it, my daydreams don't really involve anything interesting happening. It's just me getting the love and validation I never receive in my life. I don't think there's any upsides to it

I've been dissociating since I was about 9 or 10 years old. It would usually happen when I was yelled at or beaten by my mom and none of my siblings would step in to help or defend me. I was also discouraged from standing up for myself so the only thing i could do was retreat into my mind. It's...

hi everyone! I found this forum about a year or so ago when I was struggling really badly and have found it very helpful to read a lot of people's posts here. I'm undiagnosed but I have a lot of CPTSD symptoms and have been really struggling to find healthy coping mechanisms and beginning my...
