    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    I honestly think that’s how I’m going to end up and tbh I’m fine with that if that’s what I’m happy with. Like there’s absolutely nothing wrong with not being into romance, if I don’t want it then I don’t want it.

    Can’t picture myself living with this for that long- Anyone else feel this way?

    Oh god yes I did. I was diagnosed when I was 15. I was abused for 15 years and now I’m 17, 18 in April. I thought I was gonna die before my 16th birthday yet I lived past then, and here I am now. Even before I was diagnosed I thought I’d just disappear before I became an adult somehow. I just...

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    i have reactive attachment disorder, which means it’s hard to emotionally connect to others in simple words. I agree with that, maybe I’ll do so when I get out of college. I’m a senior in high school and next year I’m going to college so I don’t think I can have a pet anytime soon. My family...

    My friend in heaven

    You’re right. I did all I could. He’s still with me and he won’t die as long as I’m here. I wish he could’ve done teenager stuff like getting his license and taking the SAT, but it just hurts to know he won’t get to. I just hope he’s at peace.

    Weird numbness

    Yeah, I did. My psychiatrist kept it that way bc we actually increased it since 75 wasn’t doing enough for me, and my T said it’s because a lot is going on and aggravating depression symptoms most likely

    My friend in heaven

    Thank you for that. That literally made me cry. He was so young when he died. We knew each other since middle school. Out of all people, why him.

    Sufferer Isolated area, maybe online support will help

    Hey, I also have CPTSD and have dealt with abuse from someone with antisocial personality. I’d be happy to support you on here :) although our struggles may not be the same and I may not completely understand how you feel, I support you

    MVA Witnessed two pedestrians get hit in a month.

    God I’m so sorry this happened to you. I know you’re not the one who was hit but I know how it feels to see someone in such acute condition and it’s honestly terrifying and can follow you for the rest of your life. Have you talked to anyone about this?

    Anyone else find their sleep greatly improved by taking an SSRI at bed-time?

    I think I used to take my Zoloft at night and it helped with sleep, yes. But then I began oversleeping so I switched to morning again haha :)

    My friend in heaven

    I saw someone online yesterday with his name and I spent an hour researching it hoping it was him alive. But then I realized he’s dead and he’s never coming back. I wish I was there towards the end but I wasn’t and I live with that everyday. I miss him every f*cking day. Every time I think of...

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    Yeah, those definitely are all things I’ll consider. Thank you so much :) I already do a lot of those but some of those gestures I don’t do so I’ll definitely try them !

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    Honestly you’re probably right. Like I guess I’m not alone which makes me feel slightly better. I think I’ll try to just not feel bad for not relating to friends in that way and kinda just work on me for a bit.

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    Believe me I’ve tried.my therapist has tried exposure therapy and legit I still just hate touch. The feeling just is bad to me idk why, I hate it and want to work on it. I’ve dated before for romance sake (I was sexually abused so that’s off the table) but even touching like cuddles was way too...

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    Honestly what I’m ok with is asking someone about their day. If it gets to like hand shakes then I get tense.

    I just cannot, for the life of me, attach to anyone

    The thought of even letting someone touch me makes me super disgusted
