Took the advice and left social media. Actually feel a lot better mentally now I'm off of all of that stuff. Now I'm out of...whatever hole I was in I can see I was being really irrational being convinced a suicide was going to occur. I've been focusing a lot more on real life recently and it's...

It is a long time. I actually was feeling a lot better for about a year, and then I came across a trigger...stressor...whichever one it would be defined as. All the feelings just came rushing back. In 2016-2017 my dad was in hospital for a heart transplant and to be entirely frank the doctors...

Hmm...let's see. Did it begin with 'D'? They were definitely afraid of my anger. I think they had a set notion in their mind of what someone is supposed to feel after a traumatic event, and I didn't fit that. I'm very sorry to hear about your brother. I agree with you. I have never felt guilt...

I've had to force myself to back away from it all. I think what I struggle with is like, when someone kills themselves, everyone looks back and wonders what they could have done to prevent it. I wanted to do something in the moment. I kept thinking, nobody else is doing anything so I need to...

I have suicide-related trauma. For the last year people have been making 'callouts' exposing a extremely popular user I know of. She's done a rather large collection of shitty things-as far as I can tell, nothing illegal-and has hurt people. For a year people have been on social media saying...

Hello. I originally came to this site as a younger teen searching for what was wrong with me. I was very vague about details and I can remember people on here being quite confused about the lack of information I was handing out. That was because I was still convinced what happened was my fault...

I did not realize that. It's nice to hear she has a dog she does like hanging out with. I'm sorry if my words offended you

I'm quite worried about the puppy; as a teenage girl who was also dealing with trauma when I got my first puppy, it does tend to make everything a lot more stressful. There were some days where I looked at him and just burst into tears because I was so stressed. I wasn't sure if a dog was what I...

I think it was an NHS doctor. I didn't really understand if it was a private treatment or not, it went over my head a little. I'm not actually sure what doctor I'm seeing this time. The one I saw for the appointment I mentioned above is probably the best at the surgery. There's another one I...

I'm seeing a doctor again in a few days time to talk about being traumatized (online friend attempted suicide and it's been haunting me for the past 3 years). I've been to a doctor before to talk about it and went on anti-depressants. He advised me that if I didn't start feeling better, to go to...

I get how you feel, my friend attempted suicide and I felt everything you felt too. Especially the anger. If it helps, three years ago I thought I would never feel better, but I am starting to cope better with my emotions now. Maybe you can too. Good luck.

I hadn't actually ever really considered it to be my OCD, just because it felt so different, but from your explanation it does seem possible. I do have one aspect of it that I know was OCD; I started becoming obsessed wit the idea of me killing myself too, which after some research I found could...

Thank you for the validation.

You have a good memory :) I do have OCD. I can't be sure but this feels different though; with OCD, my thoughts tend to trigger off the feelings. With whatever this is, my feelings trigger off the thoughts. Does this make sense? Could it still be OCD?

This might be a strange title but how much trauma do you think can be processed from it being online? I'm not talking about like, someone left a mean comment on your video or something. But more along the lines of someone you know online dying, suicide attempts, verbally abusing you, threatening...
