I am a survivor of child abuse and I am only now dealing with the core issues. To be exact I was recently diagnosed with CPTSD, OCD, GAD and Major Depressive Disorder. I have been married for 13 years and the marriage is coming to an end. My wife and her family are dismissive of my mental health issues and call me “crazy”. I’ve been working hard on the issues (inpatient, residential, PHP and IOP). I started in a Focus program learning the different program buckets like CBT, DBT and Art therapy. Now I’m working on my CPTSD and it’s overwhelming at times. My wife has had enough of my mental health issues… one time telling me to get the f out of the house and take mental diseases with me. This was while I was in residential care on a 4 hour pass to come home and see the kids. Her parents put down my mental health issues telling her daughter she can do better than me etc etc.
I’m looking forward to moving on but do not have much support outside of a couple of friends. The more I watch TED talks - I started to realize there are others like me.
My wife constantly tells me I’m unlovable. I wrote in my schema journal that I’m starting to think she might be right.
Anyone else ever made to feel this way?
