You’re not wrong. I don’t really see myself in the greatest light. There’s a lot about me that I wish I could change and I know I have to learn how to love myself but it’s hard for me to do that. Eventually I think ill get there..

Did you know that chronic pain can be associated with PTSD? I actually hurt my back at work and have given birth to two fairly large babies. So I know a little bit of it is from that. But I was wondering if anyone else has chronic back pain or just pain in general that is either unexplained or...

Currently trying to get into a book called f*ck It Therapy. It’s exactly how it sounds, learning how to say f*ck it to the little things. I tend to obsess over the littlest shit and I can’t for the life of me let it go until there’s an outcome of some kind. Lately I’ll lose complete focus on...

So no shit, I went garage sailing with my mom and son. Where I live it’s like a sport here, you wake up early for it, you’re trained your whole like to look for “the good ones”, and you literally argue with people or push them out of the way for your desired item. I f*cking hate it. More or less...

I welcome hugs! && no I don’t have a therapist right now but I’m supposed to call around on Monday to find one . There’s one in town my psychiatrist wants me to see. I’m trying to learn how to be assertive and think before I speak .. maybe I’ll figure it out soon!

Well you’re not alone. We can’t change things that happened or some things about us at all, and I think most people tend to punish themselves for that, even those who don’t have mental illness. It’s the “couldve Should’ve would’ve” thing, everyone has something or many things that they cannot...

Thank you so much I feel a little better knowing I’m not the only freight train :/ he has PTSD too but refuses to acknowledge it. Maybe he’ll come around to realize I’m not intentionally hurting him or do things to hurt him. I can’t even remember the things I say . Maybe I’m just a younger...

My boyfriend today told me that dating me is like standing in front of a freight train wondering which part of you is going to get hit next. Which part of him am I or people from my past going to rip off crew up and spit out next. Dating me is hard, I’ve done my fair share of bad things, and...

Thank you

Don’t ever be sorry for the way you feel or the way you explain how you feel. You’re human and you’ve been through a lot. More than most. There are times when we think we’ve lost touch with ourselves and we have to find it again. For me I like to walk outside bare feet toes in the grass in the...

I am 22 and also female. I’ve been there, and the other commenter is right. It may seem like you “have to” or “it’s what everyone does” or you just don’t know what else to do idk I’m not you, but you most definitely do not have to sleep with ANYONE right away or early on in a relationship. I...

Thank you. At least you’re honest. I googled PTSD Forums hoping to read other people’s posts and feel a bit better about it. I definitely am starting to feel less alone. Still feel stupid. Still feel crazy. But less alone I think. I know there isn’t a cure for PTSD, I wish there was, but at...

I’m not a first responder but I have CPTSD... I get it feeling lost, and like no one gets it. They either try to, say they get it but don’t, or get upset with you because they can’t understand. That’s the thing no one can even begin to understand unless they live it. I completely get where...

Hi, I’m a 22yr old single mother with CPTSD, chronic anxiety, and Bipolar Disorder. I feel alone, and after I got diagnosed a few days ago I’m scared and kind of hopeless. I was hoping they’d tell me that I am just anxious and depressed, but they told me I have PTSD, and complex PTSD at that and...
